Re: Lawnmower Motorcycle
"Only got a rear brake" Apart from being dangerous, is that street legal in America?

Re: Lawnmower Motorcycle
In Minnesota, yes it is street legal (each state has different rules).
Here's some fun little "street legal" requirements in Minnesota: 1) 1 mirror 2) Horn 3) Muffler 4) 1, but not more than 2, headlights with hi-lo beam settings 5) Red tailight 6) Pegs for passenger (if equipped with passenger seat/pillion) 7) At least 1 brake, front or rear, operated by either hand or foot 8) Eye protection (windshield does not count, sunglasses do count) There are a few other little quirky laws here and there based on age and whether you're riding with a permit or license, but those above are the basics. There are lots of bikes in Minnesota that get "bobbed" and lots of them only have one brake. ![]()

Re: Lawnmower Motorcycle
Interesting what can be done with a box of parts and a welder.

Re: Lawnmower Motorcycle
That's my kind of ride. I don't like the long rake and steering, but I've always wondered why the simple way to make things doesn't seem to happen anymore.

Re: Lawnmower Motorcycle
Great a vertical shaft V twin. Certainly looks like a backyard project. Good luck on getting a buyer at $9000.
