Title: my Disney Drifter
Post by: motosickle on May 06, 2010, 17:42:39 PM
some of you may know about my disney bike. but to update the rest, i got this bike (in pieces) from a friend who bought it from Walt Disney World after they were done with the MGM Studio's stars & cars motorcade. it was sold to 2 other people who couldn't figure out how to reassemble everything.
today, an engineer friend(Fred Solei) sent me tech drawing and pictures of the assembled bikes. in one you'll see where the belt drive comes from the box . then to a jack-shaft to the rear sprocket.

wow it looks much better now!! but interesting set of pics, the older ones, it always fascinates me how different the same bike can look kind of like hairstyles, we mostly all have hair of one sort or another, and no matter how stupid it may look to the outside world I wear it this way because I like it.  and don't even get me started on beards.......I just don't get it. LOL But back to the subject at hand, good job!!!

Nice job. Always cool when it has a story behind it. Did you put the hitch on that Wyoming Chev truck?

no the hitch won't fit. the truck isn't really from Wyoming, i happen to have an old tag,and it looked good on the truck!
BTW, the jacket that fred is wearing in the picture.......well he gave me that jacket today to go with my disney bike. apparently the dealer was giving away a jacket with each bike, the fabricator got 3 jackets and Fred received one. he has never worn  it except for the pictures. the provinance on this bike just keeps growing.
