My Ed Roth inspired Radio Flyer.

[ant]

Been keeping this under wraps for while now as I'm about to alter it a little but i've just uploaded some pics so you might as well have a look see.

I've got a mate called Rod,..... Now rod is in his 60's and is a proper old school rodder. He was roof choppin mk1 transits before a lot of us were born. I've know rod for a while now and when i found out he was selling his Ed Roth inspired creation i just had to have it.

Its hard to see in the pictures the amount of work that he has put in to this. It has been built over the last 8-10 years and every part except the engine and wheels has been fabricated by rod. Its 4 link and rose joints even the steering wheel is scratch built.
When rod started the build he could not put his hands on a red flyer in the uk so even the red tub has been fabricated.

It has an accelerator lever under the steering wheel and the red lever is attached to drum brake on the rear axle.

I love it to bits .... i'm having some radio flyer graphics made up for it and altering the exhaust as its a little to loud.

Should look pretty rad on franks roof rack 8)

Love it Ant! Lovely bit of engineering.

When it gets a bit too slow for you, you could always add a bigger motor!

This one has a Suzuki GSX-R mill :shock: . Not sure if it's a 750 or an 1100. Either way it's gotta be a mental ride and those wheelie bars must be essential. One whif of gas and you would be straight out of the back door without them

loving that one too ...... me thinks it needs a chain guard tho :shock:

 

[easy]

Sick! i love it :mrgreen:
