here's a pic from the thunderdrome.

high dollar tank. kriedler 50cc tank.kind of like an italjet vampyro tanks. came with a full race fairing for a tiny bike

looking for aluminum/alloy 36 hole flanged/unflanged rims! akront/borrani/morad/did/takasago/san remo/etc 17-18-19 " drilled for symetrical hubs, not conical hubs!

before and after. btw in the sparkly photo in the background you can see what little bikes the motors usually come from before after sparkly. built from various parts

just finished my second benelli fireball racer build. tank and seat went off to paint today(the bike in the foreground). great small bikes to build, quick and easy. i have some before pics. the bike in the front was built from a trash picked frame. both will be racing at the thunderdrome in...

almost done with this piccoli bastardi. for the thunderdrome. http://www.thunderdrome.com. built from nothing. frame was a trash picked fireball trail. built from lots of leftover parts from other wards riverside 450ss parts. splurged on tank from ebay. lots of parts from treatland. i assume...

yeah. should be a decent looking reliable rider.

my recommendation is to buy a second bike to learn on. get a parts/service manual. buy the cheapest, rustiest bike of similar size/vintage (i am sure you can find a CB350 parts bike for $100 or so). look for the guys advertising in the local paper "we buy bikes", they have a turd or two that...

almost done. mechanically sound. just some niggling electrical/rubber to sort out.

almost done. hadn't touched the project in a while. black with heavy silver metalflake. picture looks purple. tin/seat is just mocked up. should finish this in a day or two and get some better pictures.

here are a couple mock up pics. 1965 motobi 250 sport special/super sport or whatever. powdercoat is done. motor is done. wheels are done (akront, didnt wanna invest in the borranis). just need to do some metalwork to get it all to fit together better, then its off to paint. still hacking it...

the banshee is a great start

this is yet another 60s italian bike I am building as a cafe bike. too many issues to bring this one back as a stock bike, plus i more interested in turning this into a regular rider, as my other motobis have been as with all italian bikes, you need to own 4 to build 1 good one. this was a 250...

is that a 105mm or 130mm benelli bucket? either way the little bucket looks good.
