That Chainsaw-powered Raleigh RSW

[strangeangel]

I'm now breaking the 'keep it all in the garage' rule, so more stuff needs to leave...

 

 

SOLD.

That chainsaw engine looks more like a strimmer engine to me, what cc/power is it ?

Original description from Billy's roffle thread:

 

It's a 1960's (I think) Raleigh RSW (Raleigh Small Wheels) push rocket, with a 50cc chain saw engine fitted. The creator said it does 30mph, best of luck with that gig, I'm not brave enough to try that.

If it was road legal, I would

But officer.....   it's a chainsaw.. not a motorcycle 

[chodweaver]

I believe they are.. a mate not of this parish has a Raleigh Wisp that he uses on the road.

The Wisp is road legal, but this definitely isn't!

I think you'd get six points and a fine just owning that, let alone taking it through the London Congestion Zone with your ACAB t-shirt on.

[Six-cylinder]

If only it had a big turbo, oh and maybe a jet assist for outrunning the law!

 

I like it very much but bringing home miscellaneous moped type stuff is getting me in trouble with Mrs6C.

Just wear a hoody, three stripes and no helmet, and the Old Bill will leave you well alone. Pursuit too dangerous innit.

I really want this but can't justify a trip to the back of beyond again

[eddyramrod]

Shitely relay?

What if I was to drop it at my Mum's in Manchester next time I'm over? That'd save you having to drive up any big hills

All the coppers around here look like they have been shagged by Mr Kipling so doubt 20 stone of plod will be able to bother you above 5mph unless you are stupid enough to carry a box of doughnuts on the back.

Ah, good point... West Yorks (HD8).

If anyone can get this down to Newark (ish) I'll have a go at it. Costs covered obviously

That's no distance at all, you could ride it to Newark!

I could probably do either of these over the Christmas period. It'll fit in the back of an AX, right?

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

As it moves south it gets closer and closer to my abode t'other side of drink.......... I'm a patient man

[95 quid Peugeot]

if it gets as far as Newark, i'll take it home to Suffolk   even closer to you, your patience will be rewarded.

 

Shiply  contacted... please make it a cheap delivery

[UltraWomble]

The quite possible terminal demise of Doom means Im in the market for something road legal now with an engine.

So ahhhm ooot.

[strangeangel]

possible terminal demise of Doom 

 

 

Oh no! Did you get the wheel off then?

[UltraWomble]

Nope - just cant shift it - almost like its friction welded in place - given it a proper good twatting

[They_all_do_that_sir]

I love this. It's mad. But there aren't too many places to use one and the law in these parts seems to be going very heavy on folk using similar petrol engined bicycles.....

If you want to pop across, see post #19 ride it down for me, perfect solution !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somebody please buy this as having seen Strangeangel's post code, there's a terrible possibility that he lives somewhere near a railway station on the same shit Northern Trains line that I do. I'm not sure putting a cardboard box over the engine held on with bungie straps will pass the guards inspection in the bike area of one of the shite trains that they use between Huddersfield and Sheffield.

I don't think anyone has actually used public transport for the homeward leg of a collection mission before, you should definitely do that. 

 

And, yeah, we're handy for the PENIStone line
