.....another machine in the Red Bus Company. Firstly we had the Big Red Bus, now sharing garage space we present, the Baby Red Bus. :D

Equipped with a 49cc powerhouse fuelled on an exotic pre-mix cocktail of 95 octane unleaded petrol and synthetic 2-stroke oil, thus churning out a rice pudding skin frightening 2 bhp. :rolleyes: Enough to haul around at a terrifying 35 to 40 mph. :eek:

Bloody great laugh and as mad as a box of frogs. :} :goofy: Completely knackered the toe sliders and partially worn the edge of the soles on my old biking boots. :h

Made the 'headlight' for the Baby Red Bus by tracing round the headlight cover of the Big Red Bus. Then reduced it by 50% on the photocopier and cut it out of aluminium tape. Just waiting for the Honda wings for the tank and VFR logos for the fairing to come in the post. :)

At least I can usually find a nice quiet corner of an airfield to play on at weekends. :D

I'll admit, I wasn't after an overly expensive one. It cost £225 from www.fun4kids2play.com (http://www.fun4kids2play.com). The Mini Red Bus has a 2-stroke single cylinder 49cc engine putting out about 2 bhp at 8700 rpm. It starts using a hand pull, like a lawnmower. Has a centrifugal clutch, basically rev and go. It's got front and rear cable operated disc brakes. Takes 2.5 litres of pre-mix fuel in the tank. Will thrash along about 35 mph, give or take a bit. Measures just over a metre in length, half a metre wide and a little over half a metre tall and weighs in at 23 kg unladen. It fits nicely in the boot of my Golf.

The little VFR logos and the Honda wings arrived today, :) so they're going on tomorrow or Saturday. A further photo will be posted at the weekend.
