A Kiwi build from scratch

Haven't had much time to work on my project, but was in the shop today giving a mate a hand. One of the boys is building a beach basher for shits and giggles. A quick look into his project.

Any new progress? I lost a month of bike work myself to spring home & farm projects that couldn't be ignored.

Hey Weasel, a bit more on the swingarm, but Im in the same boat as you at the moment, been a bit busy. Doing house renovations and my job has had me over to Australia a few times the last couple of months, so build time has been on the back burner.
your wheels are looking the goods mate, those colours are real nice. $6 per spoke to PC them WOW!! stainless looks good for the price mate

does he the know the steerring geometry on that deal will make it pretty much impossible to control?
its a shame to put that much work in a cool project to find out on the first trest ride that you cant ride it
 
unfortunatly there isnt a human on earth could keep that thing from instantly being pinned full lock in the sand
i mean i could see that from here ,no need for measurements, just lick a finger tip and air draw youll see
it will however be quite stable in reverse, like a full supertanker
 
I guess I have to tell the boys to stop riding the the other three bashers we built over the last four years, we could get hurt.

Must also see if I can find that nice policeman that gave me a speeding ticket for to 71Km/h on the beach on the 120cc basher lasy year, I could have killed myself riding that death trap
