I got this old Chinese knock-off of a '38 Beemer last year from my friend Arto for a ridiculous price because it quit running, couldn't be registered and he knew my kids would get a kick out of it. It sat mocking me while other projects got in the way. I finally got sick of it this week and spent a little time chasing the wiring, found a problem, fixed it and fired it up! We tooled around the parking lot for a while and nothing fell off so we closed up shop and hit the road for a few miles. Rad! Now, on to the registration battle. I can't wait to race this thing at the Hell on Wheels Motorally coming up at the Lake Elsinore MX track. I've got some special paint in mind for this one...

Too bad I have to work a completely different race that weekend or I would be volunteering to be the monkey in the sidecar!
can i have it when you are done with it ;oP good luck at the races!
I already called sidehack duties
No way Cindy, you'd have to fight my whole family and the dog for that thing. But I'll give you a ride one of these days, it's actually pretty damn fun if you don't have to stop quickly.
