So... It's no secret that Rob bears a strong resemblance to his Sasquatch forefathers... and it's impossible to get a sense of scale otherwise from the photos. So what's the theoretical maximum drivers height with helmet and 2-3" clearance?

I put my niece and nephew in it a few weeks ago. She is 58" tall and he's 46" tall. This is with the seats 2" shy of all the way forward. There was 5" over her head to the bottom of the tube.

Heck I could fit in that! Wanna adopt a self-sufficient son?

I pondered asking Chris if he wanted to do another one identical, but with a full size single seat and a 800-1000cc motor.

That thing would be so much fun!

Being married to a doc has its priveleges...once you pay off most of the student loans.

I guess that is easier to explain than my Bigfoot pole dancing side gigs.


Olivia and Caroline even made a nice little sketch for show n tell honoring the profession which has afforded them the better things in life...

More updates...


Front LED light mounted...

Brake and go go pedals mounted. Chris @MarsFab fabricated the gas pedal, bracket, linkage, etc, 100%.

Because twin girls are, well, girls, they must be comfortable as best as we can. This includes heat on those cool spring and fall wheeling days. The ATV motor is air cooled so this created a challenge. We borrowed the idea from a VW bug for its heat and created a heat exchanger box with a blower motor. We used the same blower motor and switch setup as what is in the universal heaters from Summit/Jegs/etc. it's also the same blower for the heater in my buggy. Should make working on mine and mini easy and parts sourcing a breeze.

Basically, Chris snaked the exhaust into a custom box in an "S" shape to create as much surface area as possible. There are 2 blower mount locations; one on the top for less heat and one down real low. Weren't sure if the lower mount would be too close to the exhaust tubes for the blower or create too much heat, so the upper mount location was created as an option.

More progress...

Aluminum fab goodness for the fuel tank. Incorporated a float mechanical fuel gauge. Just a little over 5 gallons. Should last a full day of riding.
