TS185 Brat Concept 2

Thats a much better stance.

TS185 Brat Bike Concept

I could not sleep, so I put down this concept Brat Bike. Using an eighties model Suzuki TS185 with 16x3 wheels and Firestone vintage tyres. Also bobber style tank and seventies TS185 pipe with chrome heat shield. I think it needs to be a considerably lower stance than current.

My very first bike build

Going through some old photo albums and found a photo of this old gem. It was a 'Jaguar Deluxe' that I got for Christmas. Don't let the name fool you, it was a heavy steel framed bike. It came originally with a short sissy bar, banana seat and ape hamgers . Trouble was I really dug BMXers (this was around 1980).So not long after I ditched the sissy bar, seat, bars, gooseneck, forks and tyres and replaced them with BMX type parts. Most expensive part was the 'Tange' chrome-moly forks which didn't fit quite right as the bearings were slightly different. Later on I even rattle-canned the wheels bright yellow, as the cheap chrome used to rust all the time!. I rode that bike to death on-road and in the bush as there was bush ditrectly across the road from my parents house.
