That 50 special of yours Hotwheels was the fastest scoot up the strip that day. How you didn't flip it with that head wind is beyond me.... I was scared watching you lol

Watched it over the weekend , Awesome riding . Lifting front wheel 1st 2nd third and still hitting nearly 90mph into the head wind fantastic .

Must go and watch sprinting again.

Now if it had a picnic basket on the back as well it might have got my Fav scooter of the day Award !!!

I know it defeats the point but that in a custom drag frame would be the nuts

You mean something like this Ric?

Its got a smallframe 60x54 Falc Motor at the rear







It belongs to a guy called Iain Brookes, it should be ready for the shoot out in September

You can see the build thread here : http://vespasmallframeforum.proboards.c ... treamliner

I think what Iain is doing is all good. But I prefer a scooter frame because we lose the identity and madness of what is being done.

I'm all up for a streamliner, people have been doing it for years in the quest for speed. I'm looking forward to seeing if it really does make a difference. Should be a very interesting project to see what can be done without the drag effect of a fullframed scooter
