Schooter project

How about building one of these, Schoot'?

 

That thing is cool. I remember them watching The Rat Patrol on tv. I bet it is fun to ride.

 

Dude. It's a Kettenkrad!

Those things are MAJOR cool. Made by NSU (remember them? They used to make motorcycles and cars even.)

My son Sean with a restored (and operational) 'Krad last summer:




Did you ever wonder about their specs? 36 hp from how many ccs? And it weighs...




Another pic:



Looks suspiciously like a DUNLOP on the front there...

 

But Schooter's already got a hot rod tractor . . .

dammit you made beer come out my nose laughing!

 

I've lusted after the Kettenkrad since I first saw one in a magazine in high school. Super cool, Fitz I'm envious you have seen one in person! I still want to ride one.

 

right now we're working on putting a kz1000 motor in a banshee frame.

tomorrow im buying a gs850 shoehorned into a gs550 frame for 100 smacks, and uhh

theres plenty of those fast tractors around here, people takr old olivers and cockshuts an co ops and john deeres and put big blocks in them and pull them, i bet they'd do 60 or better

figure id chime in before any of you guys start sayin stuff about sheep and goats

 

The KZ motor is going to be nuts!!!

 

I had a shifter kart with a KZ1000 in it that did 10.40's
Guy who I sold it to hit a manhole cover at 70 and shattered the engine.
