Vespa 50 special Falc 150 at bwtm santa pod ridden by martin murray engine built by tony obrien Thanks for the video from russ Shea.

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
