Jeepers Creeper

Have an extra motor kicking around and a few other parts and am thinking that with the right gearing I should be able to get 50 mph out of this rig when finished? The handling should be interesting at that speed.

Looks like it's about half done. We used to use leaf blowers and creepers to ride around on. Instant directional steering!

My wife just gave me a very nice creeper (that folds into a stool) for my birthday....she should have known better.

BTW- if you can get a wife who will give you things like that- hold onto her!

that reminds me of a street luge board i saw at bonneville last year, it had a 1000cc harley sportster attached. lhe guy laid down, hit the throttle and got it up to 117mph. his wife rode a 600cc rotax.

I shelved the creeper in favor of a grocery getter. Not as fast as I am gearing it for torque to be able to bring home the heavy loads of stuff I plan on hauling back from the stores.
