Vinnetrow 129 #1 Posted June 1, 2015 Its not a Tractor, or a mower, its not even old. But this is what we've been up to lately... A drift trike is exactly what it sounds like, a trike that goes sideways sometimes. The idea is to put PVC pipe around the rear tires to help this. There's a bunch on Youtube if you want to know more. My Dad is Dutch, can you tell? I hope he doesnt see this 3 nigel, Ian and Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinnetrow 129 #13 Posted June 29, 2015 My Dad started making this tank before he ran out of gas, but it is mounted and looks mostly complete Managed to fit a Kawasaki KLE500 rear brake caliper to the front end of Baotian 50cc scooter. Waiting on a left-hand hydraulic lever to arrive. I didn't want the stop and the go controls to be operated by one hand. Air filter arrived from the land of cheap. Looks better than stock at least 3 Ian, Stormin and nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinnetrow 129 #17 Posted July 17, 2015 Does anyone know where i can find some 10" diameter PVC pipe or similar, that doesn't cost too much? I only need a foot in length total.

nigel 1,876 #18 Posted July 17, 2015 Try and find some one on the gasboard or waterboard max they have plenty of it i thought you were going to do a jump when you headed for that mound 1 Vinnetrow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #19 Posted July 17, 2015 I wish you'd mentioned the pipe about three weeks ago. I could have brought some down to Rural Past Times. We threw out four 2ft lengths. SWMBO used them for growing leeks. 1 Vinnetrow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
