Minibike Drag Races, East Providence, RI 9/18/2011

Waiting to race

Show season is well under way, and I’ve already attended one so far: the Porsche Concours held at Larz Anderson. I’ll be posting photos of that soon enough.

Here’s a bonus set of photos from the end of last year’s show season that I sort of forgot to publish to my blog. I actually participated in the drag races, using my friend Eric’s Rupp. I didn’t win; I kept hesitating at the start. But it was fun, and I’d really love to have a minibike of my own. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of myself racing, but that’s kind of how it goes when you’re the one taking all the pictures. Many more photos after the break.

VW Trike

VW Trike

VW-powered trike. It was difficult to get the whole trike to fit in the frame since the forks are so long. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to ride something like this.

I don’t think I would ever ride such a thing, but I think this old school Honda Goldwing is pretty awesome.
