[QUOTE="onetoncrawler, post: 193613, member: 846"] Starting on a new project. The goal of this buggy was to be as maintenance free as possible. I enjoy riding at least twice a month so I wanted something I could bring home, wash, check it over and ride again. I also wanted a buggy that I could race ECORS and local comps with safely and comfortably. I am not building this for KOH, but if the opportunity arises I wouldn’t turn down a chance to go. This will probably be a slow build. Thanks to Mark for loaning me half of his shop and a lot of help. Thanks to EOR for all the parts and advice. Jimmy always answers any question I have. Also thanks to Mo, I always bounce Ideas off of him and know I can get an honest answer.
