After 2 years of hard work ,finaly the first test ride .There is just nothing better than the support of ones family, when it does`nt quit go right the first time out! Take a look at the vidio ,will post some pic`s when I figure out how man can make them smaller so I can post them. I have a FZR600 in it now but over the winter I plan on putting a FZS 1000 in.

I work for a German company, I work with some Germans.

The dudes laugh at nothing! The chicks laugh at everything!

Looks cool, good luck.

If it makes you feel better, I have almost the exact same video of my first drive in my 'cuda. It includes the stall and women laughing in the background.

When I figured out the hand clutch and gearbox, no more laughter. Also, not sure what your gearing is, but i changed my front sprocket over to the smallest one i could find, and it drastically improved performance, less stalling, easier starts and better acceleration. I never get close to top speed so it has not effected my speed at all

[boilermaker]

Speed is relative to how smooth or how rough the trail is anyway, isn't it.Some trails top speed would be 30, maybe and a smooth road might be 80, so its all OK.

I was shur the tank was voll but the buggy was running on fumes. Runs a lot better with the tank full. I donn`t have the hand clutch on the shifter,it has a foot clutch. I`ve got a 13 tooth on the front and 60 in the rear. She goes pretty good but the motor just doesn`t do it you have to run it pretty hard,can`t wait to get the other motor in. Here is a better vidio .
