Title: I'm not afraid of getting old
Post by: Orcade-Ian on May 05, 2021, 06:09:02 PM
I was getting concerned about my age, but I'm OK with it now

Obviously won't be using an engine from a Kwacker but an 1800 Wing unit should give a lower centre of gravity,

I might get a 3 wheeler when I get older this one here would do nice low VEL etc. I've seen more detailed photos it's been converted very well!

If I was ever to go down the three wheeler route one of these would fit the bill!

One of my customers has a mobility scooter shop. A race engineer I used to work with had all kinds of plans as to what you could do with one if you were determined. I have been trying to persuade him that tuned and customised scooters are the way to go, he's not so sure.

If I have to have one one day, I'll have to decide whether to go for apehangers, tassles and flames, or full race replica. Maybe slicks and a carbon fibre basket!

He says there are laws about the allowable speed, meh, I want a Z1 engine like in Frank's advert. So I showed him this:
