Utard Enginerd

[Shmeefer]

I'm an ME who move to UT a year ago from SW MI. I love designing stuff and riding motorcycles, this led me to think about a mc-engined Lotus Seven replica. But I decided a mini-buggy would be a good intermediate project and it will allow me to explore the expansive trails (and dunes) in my new state.

The plan is to part out my '03 SV650 to raise capital for the project. The motor will go towards the buggy and I'm hoping to use the mone from parting the bike out to build a mini-buggy to ride on ATV trails. That way my "cost" is essentially zero, which will make the wife happy. I'm thinking of using ATV parts, but I've seen some real ingenuity on here so I'm inspired to explore more (too much probably, if you asked my boss ).

Good luck on the project. Get a set of plans and start sourcing parts.

Kalamazoo. MI is a really nice place to live, it's unfortunate the economic situation there.

Been coming out to UT to ski for the past 8 years and every year said the same thing, "I need to move here" so last year we finally did it. SLC was our intended destination, but found a goog job in Logan and are REALLY happy here. We're both small town people so this fits us better than SLC. UT is such an underrated state... I mean, uh, UT sucks, no one should move here
