Default Buggy I saw at Silver Lake today. Got a ride too. Sweet!

I saw this buggy in the Silver Lake sand dunes today and decided to talk to the fellow driving it. He had never heard of MBN so I told him about it and hopefulley he will check it out. He even offered to take me for a spin it and I will say that there is no better motivation than that for getting my stuff going like it should already be. The machine is powered by a Honda CBR1000 and he custom built the gearbox (no reverse but they are thinking of adding one (electric starter style) The gearbox contains two shafts and three 50 series chains. Thats all three pulling the load evenly on thier own sprockets from the top shaft to the bottom. He mentioned wheel travel and hopefulley he can correct me if I have mis-remembered but its like 24 front and 18 rear. I will say that when he took me over the whoops at speed it was using most of it and the machine was very nice riding. I could tell how much air he was getting over the hilsl and jumps but the landings were smooth. I told him he should draw up the plans for it and sell them. Enjoy the pics. Bill
