I saw some pics of it at the last European rally that was held in the UK - and it appeared to be ridden by some biker with all the kit on - whether it was trailler'd there and then ridden or used for the whole journey - dunno - I like it - don't look too comfy though - regards Kev

It was just a fun project for one of the European fanatics, I don't even recall if it was registered
The wheels and front are from a scooter of some sort

Mad Bill's is the goods alright!
Regarding the clip of the pocketbike, I think it would be real interesting to see how it behaved if the rider grabbed a fistful of front brake. Did anyone else notice that it's only got what looks like a single lower triple clamp holding the forks on??
