Mini (ish) Pit runt

I got to thinking after reading this
(here) thread and thought it'd be cool to build summat like that just as a project. So where to start? Well, I thought I'd start with some sort of plan or model. Seeing as things are a little quiet I thought I'd turn it into a 'learning' exercise and draw it in 3D. Here's what I've come up with so far; (see attached)

Built from 20mm dia. steel for the frame and something a little stronger (but not much bigger) than wheelbarrow wheels. That's why it looks a little wide (like a Fatboy). I've got a petrol lawnmower at home I thought I could butcher the engine from?

May be good for a laff!

Well if I can't buy one - I may as well see if I can steel some steal and make myself a rat! (or should that be mouse?)

Oh god. You must have it bad.
Beleive me, if you had any idea how much time and money this project will cost, you would use that cash to buy a real bike (or a suzuki)
