Thought this was a pretty cool little bike. Square tube frame. Goose neck looks to be welded on. Notice the drive belt. Do you think its home made?

I think it looks homemade, but bending square tubing isn't a very easy task.

 

[smwtnbndr]

No, not at all and look at how tight the radius is??

It looks like a well built homemade bike to me. The engine looks interesting though. Looks like fun. Priced pretty high though.

Hounddog minis had square tubing but I am no expert on yours.

No clutch.... you use your foot to put tension on the belt to get it going, kinda like a snow blower. interesting

Looks like it was made from old bus seats and office furniture.

If I lived in that part of the Country I buy it.. Home Made or not it looks like some real engineering went into that bike, I'd say its a steal at the price he's asking....

the brake is just as interesting as the throttle. Looks like they use the inside of the wheel for brake drum. Thats a little REO engine on it? :shrug:

I had a 1959 fun kart that had belt/friction drive it actually worked well but listening to the little PP engine screaming behind you at all times was a bit annoying...expecially because for all the noise it made it only went like 10mph :laugh:
