Doodle Dumb- 16hp Vanguard build

[mr.modified]

Coolest engine setup i've ever seen so far. Sounds great.

I don't believe you when you say you can't make a seat. After that build? I think you could make a killer seat, you got skills.

what are you saying, I'm so confused and don't undertand.

If I'm going to hang onto something that weighs that little, and makes that much power & torque...

You can bet I want something grippy under my butt to keep me planted on the bike.

Your not suppose to take back something that you gave to someone else. Now give it back to her!!! lol

He's being a gentleman & taking the bike back to make sure she doesn't get hurt on it!

How uh... considerate. Yeahh... that's the word. :wink:

I kinda have given it back to her for now. She's using it for school while I am finishing her new one. It took her a while to give it a shot again. She has more respect for it now.

Nothing like a woman respecting her MINI.

FWIW, I wouldn't hand that bike off to anyone I enjoyed having around (i.e. not seriously injured or dead) unless I knew that they had a good deal of experience riding.

Sitting an unexperienced rider on top of this thing is like putting someone who has a fresh-off-the-press motorcycle license on a big block Sportster (and I KNOW that song & dance by heart by now, I still have a burn scar on my leg & a bunch of scrapes up my back from my 1200 Sportster when I got my license).

For someone that knows how to ride, you have an absolute world-beater, but it is far, far from what anyone who is even remotely new to minibikes should ride (I would not feel comfortable riding it, I'm really new to mini's).

Hitting a pot hole & blipping the throttle is dangerous as hell. That Harley nearly friggin' killed me, and I should've known better. I imagine the very same could apply to this... it'll reach up & bite ya. Light weight + power = needs an experienced rider. :smile:
