Thanks. Yeah, now I see the tank position is roughly the same as similar Bonanzas. Is there some leeway to pull the tank back a bit for easier fill access? Looks like just a couple hose clamps going to a bracket under the seat. Odd marketing ploy though. If he simply used the word Bonanza...

So where does the term 'Tecumseh Little Giant' come from. Did the owner just make it up? (A Google search shows that Tecumseh actually had a subsidiary called Little Giant but those were utility pumps). It looks like a Bonanza. I'm assuming the gas tank position is not stock. Looks...

Frank De Vol - Senza Fine - (Flight of the Phoenix, 1965)

I'll answer. I liked them both. I'm sentimental for the Jimmy Stewart original but the remake with Dennis Quaid held it's own I thought. BTW - Stewart was an accomplished pilot before he enlisted in the Air Force. He then went on to command his own squadron of B-24s and completed 20 combat...

I messaged the seller and he said the Fuji motor was 80cc and that he had bought the bike 'as is' so he hadn't done any of the original build work. I assume it is a 4-speed as he did not answer that question. From what I have googled it puts out 6-7 HP and is basically a Hodaka clone. I was...

Thanks Jim. And I hope they went with Max Torque on the clutches. The bike could easily be putting out 20+ HP! :scooter: :scooter: :scooter:

Anyone have pics of how they did the drive train? I like how they mounted the engines fore and aft as opposed to the side by side Double Trouble bike ... which made for a rather wide mid section. You probably came off a little bow-legged after riding it. :)

Are those 820s? What frame / bike did it start out as? Interesting fork design. Any pics of the other side? Would love to see how they handled the power train. ( Pic is from the 'Girls and Mini Bikes' thread #575 on p. 29 ).

Ha! I'll admit to getting sweaty palms a couple of times while I watched. lol

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15325794/?ref_=tt_mv_close I finally got around to watching "Fall" which had been sitting on the DVR forever. Not great but a decent "B" flick. It will get to you though if you have even an average fear of heights! Some clever filming really pumped up the altitude...

Say ... that's a nice bike! Are those Benders? Twin 820s?

Hey ... I wish it was mine. Just pics I snagged, probably from here. I'm working ( slooowly) on a Taco 44 with a WB 820. The thing is, on a kart it's all stuffed behind you and there's plenty of room. On a mini bike you have far less room, need to stay clear of the chain line and not fry your...

And only run it in Permanent Press mode on Cold water setting. :scooter: That's nice work on the pipe!
