Hey CP, Possible SWR for ya!
Found a file with some sheet wing Reedie Racer ideas that I'd worked on back in '04. Seems like they may fit in with your desire to make nicel looking semi scale but very low drag Sorta Scale designs for your Fora. They'd likely also be fun for Sure Starts. These small scale 2 views are about as far as I got before some other nonsense lured me away.

RE: Hey CP, Possible SWR for ya!
I can do better than that. I cranked out the Mini Mag in only about 5 hours and that included a lot of ponderin'. I can do something rough but useable for anyone that's built much before in a couple of hours and give it to ya in a DXF or DWG made up of segments that you just copy and save to separate files to print onto legal size paper and then print, cut and tape for the build plans.
But it won't be until next week. I've got a mini motorcycle road race to be in tomorrow.

Full size motorcycles on a course about the size of a ball diamond.... 
Nope, small kid size motorcycles such as the old YSR 50 and NSR 80 along with mini motocross bikes set up with 125GP front wheels. But the real competition is among all the old grey haired guys in the Thunder class. Stock TTR125's, DRZ125's and Honda CRF100's. All the power of a thousand butterfly sneezes harnessed in this palsy'ed ol' paw....

Are you a YSR50 racer?????? I went to the Can-Am championships back in 1994. Love the little bikes-I've had 2 of them (YSR's) and am on my second Japan spec NSR80 right now.
ETA: The first NSR80 I bought out of a collection-it was owned by the main sponsor for Two Brother Racing, and the team used it for a pit bike. Freddie Spencer, among others, rode that bike. I managed to register it and ride it for a year before some Thieving Scum stole it while I had it parked for 3 hours. It was recovered in June, in a chop shop from the sounds of it. I got a subpoena for Monday, he's looking at 9 months+ as a first timer, maybe more depending on how sophisticated the operation was and number of priors. I'm gonna do everything in my power to see to it he serves every day, and will be asking the judge for a sentence longer than a year because it will mean federal prison instead of the county lock-up.

I named my son Spencer after Fast Freddie...Is that anything?

Does he know that's who he's named after?
My Mini Road Racer of choice is a Honda XR100 set up with Bridgestone street tires. I'm too tall and too stiff from getting old to fit comfortably on those "Yoga training racks" that the NSR and YSR bikes are like...

Oh good God:
No wonder I feel so at home with this group of nuts, crazy, crazy, crazy. Thank the lord that I am too old and broken up to throw a leg over one of those things. Or maby I could still ride like my old nemises Dick Man. He is same age, 75. Push him out in a wheelchair, start his bike, put him on and away he goes. Still fast I understand. Talk about a devoted crazy. Don't think I was ever that bad. Be honest!!. Well there was the time 1984 at mammouth that I got on my bike on the line with a egg crate on each side, guys helped me off my crutches and onto the bike. Was 3rd or so on the downhill, no good brakes, went down, almost everyone left their tire marks on my body. Ever been a burm guys?? Got even, won overall 1985 and scared myself. Stayed off a bike for two weeks. Well, guess there is a little crazy in all of us. ENJOY

Yeah. His mom wasn't too pleased when she figured it out though. I had no choice, she shot me down at all the other attempts. I really liked the name Nigel.
These were taken a long time ago.

Well, There is no Justice system anymore, just a Legal system.
I waited in the courthouse lobby for 3 and a half hours for the prosecutor to come talk to me before the trial. Apparently, the guy they arrested wasn't in jail because he and his trailer-trash family sat 10 feet in front of me in the lobby and talked about the deal they cut with the prosecutor that would nix the Receiving stolen property charge in exchange for a guilty plea on Getting and Concealing a Motor Vehicle for obliterating the serial number. I still hadn't been called in when he was summoned to the court room so I followed them in in case the prosecutor didn't know I was there. The charges were Getting and Concealing, DUI, Possession of Marijuana, Driving on a Suspended, Driving on the sidewalk, and Probation Violation. Because he is a repeat offender (started at age 16, is 20 now
) the Judge was "hard" on him and he got 9 months for the convictions. 45 days of it were for obliterating the serial number on my bike.
I'm absolutely LIVID with the prosecutor's office-I'm writing letters too. I can't believe they would cut his @*% a deal without talking to me first. This is my second bike I have had stolen, I wanted him to suffer HARD for it. The Receiving Stolen Property would have carried a MINIMUM sentence of 1 year in prison by itself, now he's looking at a comfy stay in the county lock up. Maybe I shouldn't be worried, he already has family in the prison system so I expect he will be joining them before long.[:@]
If 1/2A's could be Motorcycles... this would be an .061:

RE: Hey CP, Possible SWR for ya!
DD, I remember seeing some of your older posts. You have excellent taste in skoots.
I'm kicking around picking up a TZ250 in a basket at the moment. Not much for riding but great for conversation.
CP, I know you will find this shocking but Magnus actually was one of my other choices. Along with Paxton.
Kaiser Vicman indeed[sm=48_48.gif]

I'm not sure which I'd rather have, a Harris framed RG500 or one of these... (But I really want an Aprilia SXV550 motor in a 125GP bike frame)
