    First Sportsman Flyer in New Zealand

    Just got one of these. A boardtracker 'tribute'. In actual terms, it's a motorised bicycle that's styling is based on 1900-1920 board track racers.

    An Aussie had already bought one but this is the first one to land here in NZ.
    So I far I have here the frame, seat, tank, & some various other bits. The springer forks, tool box, & various other stuff is on it's way. I've had to get the various parts shipped separately.
    I have the very basic model, a Worksman INB frame (industrial bicycles made in NY; the frames are loosely based on 1911 Indians & suchlike) with the Sportsman Flyer in-frame stainless fuel tank, & various other bits that he supplies.
    It will have a 48cc motor so can be rego'd as a moped.
    The first 2 pix are the tank & frame after they arrived. The 3rd pic was taken by the supplier & is the frame just before it was shipped. The 4th pic is one of the supplier's older mock up pics. That pic shows the toolbox (fake oil tank).

    That is quite possibly the coolest moped I have ever seen.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
