I picked up a go-cart chassis, which has a 6.5 Briggs, going to pull that and sand it paint it, new tires everything... then put a 212cc predator ghost cart racing motor on it with the accessory pack. I think I was reading those motors with the mods will make about 20 HP.
Flave's scooter will have nothing on this when I make beer runs to the corner store, going to have fun terrorizing the neighborhood. I will post before and after pics.

Lift it, shocks, off road tires. going to put wide slicks on it for running on pavement, might get another set for offroad which is what it has now.

We have a great cart track over here. Kinda spendy, but I laugh all the way through it.

I love a project like this... hell yeah.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

When I was growing up I rode dirt bikes and street/trail bikes. All the roads around here were chert and our farm was surrounded in hundreds of acres of potato fields with enough room at the edge of the fields for horse/motorcycle/go cart trails. My younger brother was too young to really hold up a bike....so my Dad fixed up an old go cart frame and put a briggs/stratton motor from a rotor tiller on it. Put the gas throttle on the steering column and used an old leather belt as a brake....it was an accident waiting to happen....and it was about as much fun as you could have with your clothes on.
Had a friend I rode dirt bikes with a lot. His Dad would buy him anything he wanted, always had a nice bike. After the first time he drove that go cart, anytime he'd come to ride, he'd park his bike and drive that go cart.

I love go carts! I had an old homemade one when I was a kid I traded an old outboard motor for. It was slow and ugly, but one hell of alot of fun! I've had a number of factory carts off and on over the years and loved them all. Coolest thing I ever had was an "El Tryke" 3 wheeled dune cycle with fiberglass body. It was a panic to drive. It went almost anywhere and was fast! Traded it for a Kawasaki 175.

That's why they gotta be fast. Not around my house. My dad was a gearhead, dirt track stock car kinda guy. Everything we owned hauled azz. We had twin engine track carts. Before the reduction gear box was a thing for airboats and V8 bigblock car motors became common, he put a 6 cylinder 350 Franklin in our airboat, 100mph+. My childhood was a learn fast or die kinda thing. 220 hp at 2800 r.p.m

I cheated death more than once in that boat. He cut me loose with it when I was 14.
There were parents that didn't let their kids play at our house.
