yes hydrochloric acid is useful but toxic sh|t... when we were young we used to pour it in a coke bottle with a bit of aluminium foil then run like hell, the noise is deafening and kills any plants nearby also if you put a flaming oily rag next to it the hydrogen gas explodes in a huge fireball.

That thing looks so bunk ass, but I'd totally ride it. Very clean frame, though. If you have the tools, make your own throttle assembly. A simple trigger, like on a chainsaw, should suffice. you'll just have to make sure there's enough travel to let the engine get to full throttle. I know how much ...

1.5 HP 4 stroke 31 CC engine, 29 mph, can also be peddled. Note the universal joint on the handle bars. I can aim the rear view mirror and see anywhere behind me. I can steer with my feet hands off. The seat is about 13" from the ground and it corners well for a delta trike. wow you got on TV nice!...

Could you put a differential or a ratcheting device on the rear end to give you a better steer? It would be possible but I'm not sure where to get something like that.. also that would mean cutting the axle and joining it back together around the diff which all seems like a lot of work. I wonder if...

Yeh I love WA, we got no fixed speed cameras, no Sunday or late night trading (dunno if thats good or not :D), cannabis is decriminalized, we got the highest wages in Aus and spudgun laws are vague rarely enforced, so unless your shooting somewhere dangerous or "not in the public interest" your prob...

How about a tin of something, go to the shops with some 3" pipe and I'm sure there will be something that fits good, or just use epoxy or wood.

I still think aside from our soon-to-be-reinstated gun laws we also need V8's back for P platers. Just because an idiot killed himself and a few others in a turbocharged R34 Skyline and another wraps himself around a power pole in a 3 cylinder Diahatsu dont mean we all drive like idiots right?
