The start of summer is around the bend which means for some builders another winter project is getting close to completion. Jason Rodman sent us an update on his very cool girder project. The impressive aluminum, arc’d design is carried out with excellent machining. During the intial mockup, RMD and Jason found proper trail numbers could not be achieved using the … [Read more...]
Rising Interest in Big Twin Racing?
Over 2 years ago, I wondered about the possibility of racing the big V-twin engines normally found in cruisers, whether from Harley Davidson or any of the various metric brands. My thought was to call it "Cruiser Twins" because the engine had to be available in a cruiser to qualify. Take the big twin, wrap a road racing frame around it and see what happens.

The little Honda Monkey bikes, the 50cc Z series mini bikes, are pretty popular in some countries. Some fans of the little guy really engineer very nifty modifications, like this 125cc inline 4 cylinder engine for instance. It's so small it looks like a model but it's a real engine and sounds great! Not a lot of detail on their website but very, very cool. Thanks for the … [Read more...]
