The Original B.R.A.T.


Japan/Cambodia - motorcycle - 250cc.

This is a chopped-down Suzuki Grasstracker with Honda Chaly bars and fenders from 1978 fished out of the Russian Market in Phnom Penh. Frame & seat are modified from original. Wheels and disc brakes are from a Kawasaki KSR, pipe is a modified racing unit for pit-bikes...so it has quite a growl which lets people know your coming. The loud pipe thing really isn't a myth, it'll save your proverbials time and time again, or, get a truck horn attached, anything to warn people you're coming down the road when they pull out in front. And to hell with the neighbors, 2 friends of mine have died in T-bones and I'm not making it 3. Changed out the rear sprocket to give it longer legs, very nice and torquey, gets about 90mpg.
