that thing looks pretty bad ass
7/30/2006 11:04:29 PM
Definitely interesting. Is it able to float like the Argo ones? I have a friend who has one of those. It has a Vanguard v-twin though...front mounted.
7/30/2006 11:11:49 PM
yeah it suppose to float....we will see. This one has a Rockwell twin on it.
7/30/2006 11:14:17 PM
Dude, if you had a dozen acres with a little lake and some trails on it, that would be the coolest thing ever.What are your plans for said little 6x6?

Self inflicted pain

I'm seeing portals + 33's + 350 + vertical pipes.
7/31/2006 10:47:00 AM
Ha HA.....The online info I found on it said it fhould do 35-40 mph. Deff fast enought to fuck your self up in. I will be unemployed shortly so I wont have any health coverage Ill just watch my roommate kill him self on it.
7/31/2006 11:17:51 AM
Got it fired tonight. Wont run for very long though. Fun little death trap
7/31/2006 8:37:28 PM
Take pix when you wreck it.
7/31/2006 9:14:22 PM
Got it running great. This thing will fly. Has a little trouble with long steep grades but it does float. We've had it up on 3 wheels several times. I think were gonna put a seat and harnesses it in. Damn thing will bounce you straight out the top.
8/13/2006 10:05:30 AM
are those tires mounted backwards?
8/13/2006 6:13:34 PM
no, they need to push water.
8/13/2006 6:16:30 PM
What he said
8/13/2006 8:38:26 PM
no suspension?
8/14/2006 9:03:29 AM
A lot of the older shit like that doesn't have suspension.The oldest 3 wheelers are hardtail, solid fork. The balloon tires are/were supposed to provide suspension effect.
8/14/2006 10:34:09 AM
seriously, that thing is begging for some monster garage type shit.
8/14/2006 12:17:40 PM
thats pretty cool
8/14/2006 12:49:41 PM
Nope no suspension at all. The original Firestone tires were balloon type. Problem is that they quit making them around 1985. Most owners have retrofitted to the current tires that are on it. It rides pretty rough and if you hit a series of bumps at speed you stand a good chance of being ejected from it. Hanging on to the controls is a bad idea due to the fact of the zero turning radius.(not fun @ 40 mph) Pretty much left to grabbing the roll bar and wait for you ass to replant in the seat. Damn bunch of fun though
8/14/2006 5:25:50 PM
Original tire
8/14/2006 5:29:28 PM
looks fun, i bet it would be great for duck hunting too in the swamps
8/15/2006 8:18:21 PM
Them things are fun as hell. Make sure you keep them tires low on air. They ride ruff as hell. My friend had one back home in NY it was wild in the snow
8/15/2006 8:36:25 PM
SOLD. Got to be too much of a pain in the ass to load up and well we all know there is no places around here to ride anyway
9/11/2006 8:26:06 PM
how much you sell that thing for?
9/11/2006 8:53:30 PM
$1000
