Lula & geestring's 2009 Rat Bike

[Lula]

We are on a mission to build a Rat Bike for the 2009 Cold Kiwi.

Starting with nothing but a shed, some tools and motivation. Looking for something that is over 400cc that will handle hill climbs and many burn-outs.
We have 2 months to build and we are based in Auckland.

Offers and suggestions welcomed to get this project off the ground . . .

Start with Turners auctions, a crash tested liquid cooled machine that is cheap is the go.
Then Sponsorship.

What's the budget?

What's the budget?

That is the amount of money you estimate it will cost to finish the project

[Lula]

What's the budget?

It's limited. Couple of hundy at the most, it's a rat bike so we are hoping to build most of it out of donated parts . . .

There's trouble in the cockpit

What is it?

It's the bit up the front where the pilot sits... but that's not important right now...

[Lula]

Pussy forget about him.

What are your suggestions for our Rat Bike?
Know anyone with some old engine and frame in their shed that 2 girls can re-work and clean up at the Cold Kiwi?

I reckon a 250 or thereabouts dirtbike.
Must be something available in Orklind?

Actually.... if it's the hill climb you two are trying to nail, what about an old TF125 Suzuki farm bike?
There must be heaps of old shitter examples of those lying around

[geestring]

[geestring]

[geestring]

[geestring]

Hey Lulu,

A mate has an old suzuki frame and engine and other bits in his shed. I'll ask him if he wants to let me have it. Do you guys need a hand building this... Hopefully it's a two smoker, I love working on those engines.

Anyone out there who has got an 'old shitter' lying around reveal yourselves . . .

geestring and I are also keen to pop a few tyres on it as well so it's got to last the hill climb and then the burn-out comp But we will take anything!
