Drift trike

Over the past couple months, the boys and Jeff have been working on a drift trike. Last summer, the boys saw these motorized trikes with non-treaded back tires that allowed the bike to drift during some of the small town summer parades. Ever since then, the boys have been obsessed with building one of their own. So...they dismantled a bike and purchased some pipe to build a frame. Today we went to a furniture warehouse and found an old plastic chair for $2.50 to use for the bike seat. It has been fun to watch the boys' (including Jeff) ingenuity as they've worked to build this bike. They still aren't done. They need to do some welding, mount the engine, set the back tires, etc. It will be fun to see the finished product!
