Default Friends special

Thought some may be interested in my friends Bitsa.
Bantam D10 frame with a Tigress scooter engine honed in. The factory built one back in the day but Hopworth ordered it to be destroyed. It was squirrelled away but now appears lost. (May have used a different frame then)
Think he,s done a decent job apart from the seat being short and the front mudguard too low.
Been passed by the DVLA despite quite a modification to the down tube of the main frame

Very nice indeed, not a fan of the wooden trellis windscreen though, can't imagine it would be much help tbh unless it's for deflecting branches and the like when green laning! Haha.

Interesting little bike. Not my usual cup of tea but I would wonder over to it if it rocked up outside the local bike shop for a better look.
