Moped MEGA UPDATE!

Two large updates, the first one being my silly Yamaha Chappy.

This thing normaly has a automatic two speed with a low and a high range (pretty cool) but I got this bike for $100 and it was in very bad shape. At first I wanted to restore the bike, but because they are kind of rare, people just want too much mone for the replacement parts. SO, I slaped on an E50 engine I had sitting around, and boo yea, a nice “stock” moped that hits 32mph and is great on the Detriot pot holes. Also… did I mention the sweet pipe I slaped on for $30?

The second project I have been working on is yet another update to the Solepuch… Painted black, added some mounts (for tank, cables, ext.), new front wheel, new pipe, and a completely rebuild engine. It is not too much faster at the top end, but gets there a little faster. The biggest thing is it is running like a dream and feels much better on the road. The next step for this will be a 50cc TCCD kit and a real front fork, the pot holes are killing me.

 

CANNONS!

Ummmmmmm, did I mension I made a jort cannon? O, I didn’t, well then here are some pictures of me shooting it off into the crowed at the local AAA soccer team in Detroit!  Version 1 was just the cannon with a simple pump inflation system:

However, Version 2 now has a automatic pumping system that runs off a 12v battey. It is much heavier, about 40lbs all together, but for a 1.5 hour soccer game and the bike ride to and from, it is not too bad.
