Bash peds

Ok guy and gals.. It finally stopped raining for a couple of hours today which allowed me to build the newest edition to the racing ped fleet for the bash..
The Yamaha Bop II was kindly donated by 1200 Pete and before I started hacking it apart was pretty much road legal and in good working order..
30 minutes later and it had been attacked by multiple spanners, the gas axe, angle grinder and wire cutters.
To give a better idea of size, I asked Tom ( one of the grandchildren ) to sit on it for me.. he is 8 and of average height .. Oh, and he tells me that he wants a Bird when he is old enough and intends joining the forum next week ! :-: :}

Aha,

There is my steed with which to win my second 'Ped racing championship and uphold the honour of the Southern Scratchers which shows we are by far the fastest riders :neenaw:

Could have painted it black though John :xm man8um

Its just the right size for 1200Pete....

Does'nt matter what you ride Cruser,, you'll get kicked off it this time! :neenaw:

I tried to get a PW 50 from work which was confiscated but they thought i'd sell it on or rip around the streets on it :dunno: BASTIDS put it in the crusher.

Funny you should say that......... Whilst the Bop looks the best it does have certain limiting factors..
I think it will perform overal in a very similar way to the other old buggers.. Looks aint everything ya know !

so what your saying Jaws, is that it's now got a ''mind of it's own'' and will piss off in any direction IT chooses and at any speed,!! :eek: :rolleyes:

I cant wait, :bow: I may be able to stay on for a ''complete'' lap this time, :eek: :lol:
