Golf Cart? Jeep? GSXR? What is it?

Kirk Frith decided that he couldn't just have a golf cart. He couldn't just have a Jeep. And, he couldn't just have a GSXR. So Kirk, being the genius he is, put all three together.

Kirk designed the rear swing arm that carries the engine and articulates in all directions with a watts link and Johnny joint link system. He's using a Ezgo TRX transaxle rear end with reverse. Not only that, but the cart.... er... Jeep... er.... Yeah... Will have independent front suspension, a 6 speed clutch on the floor with a center console shifter all packed in to a Ali aluminum Jeep style body.

Kirk, you better send a video of this thing when it's done!

Loretta Lynn?

Who knew Loretta Lynn had a Fall Trail Ride event?

Scott Luckman knew it. 

 

Family Fabrication - The Punisher

This machine was featured in the July 2010 issue of Dirt Wheels magazine. The Punisher, (appropriate name), was a family affair. John Lawson & son did all of the fabrication work, while his wife Julie did the polishing and bead blasting. (Cool wife!)

This Sportsman 700 was salvaged from a fire. The frame was toasted, no pun intended. As you can see, this family took the time, (along with a few friends), to build such a unique machine. One of the most unique features of this Sportsman, is that it has 4-wheel turning. John made his own spindles for the rears wheels to mount to so that they could turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels. John basically re-engineered the front & rear suspension and drivetrain.

The Lawson family would like to thank our very own Parts Pit Stop leader, Heather. John said, "Heather from Parts Pit Stop is awesome! She was always there helping my wife get the parts we needed!"

We're happy to have been able to help the Lawson's build the Punisher. If you need help building your unique machine, you can visit us at Parts Pit Stop or call us at 866-601-3827.

My Project(s)

In an effort to bring our family of customers together, I would like to ask that everyone send me pictures and information about their projects. I'll be more than happy to post it here on our blog so that everyone can share technical information, or just gather inspiration.

Here are my two projects.

1972 Yamaha DS7 "YamaChop"

I started with a 1972 Yamaha DS7 (basically an RD250) and hacked off the rear end. I'm going to hardtail the frame. My plans are to eventually add a leaf spring front end that my brother-in-law is making at his machine shop. I'm using a gas tank off a 1960's Sears Allstate scooter. This is where I'm at so far.

My other project is a 1975 GL1000 Goldwing that I'm building a bagger out of for the wife and I to cruise on. This is as far as I have made it:

Fall is here, how about a hoody?

The lifestyle of a motocrosser, snowmobiler, or motorcyclist is one of travel. Road trips are the norm and their many journeys land them in some of the most unique locations on the globe. It’s tough to beat a good road trip with friends and fellow riders. The sites and sounds of the road leave lasting impressions that stay with a rider long after the weekend. Most riders will tell you that more often than not, the best part of the weekend was the time on the road.
