Between our full service shop at work, my rat rod building buddy here in town, my hot rod building and CNC shop working buddy an hour away, and my drag bike and tool and die shop owning buddy an hour away, I hope I can make it happen like I want.
The idea from the beginning was to design a frame that looked like the '60's tire smokers I posted above. Use a modern air cooled Triumph twin for power. Use Triumph Modern Classic bolt ons, like forks, wheels, and brakes. And have it all come together in the retro style that makes the Modern Classic series such a neat deal.
The tires will be wider than the '60's version, and I may be forced to add a wheelie bar. Modern tracks, modern tires, and a lack of power tells me that this scooter will not be a tire smoker. Rather, a clutch slipping gear grabber.
