Manx Club

I had a great time. I got to lead the red group through Holcomb Valley. We went on a few different areas then before, and I was glad to see that they are starting to open up some of the old trails that were closed due to fires. Our group had 27 buggies. The Tow'd race # is 27. Coincidence or what? O...

Our tow'd has its id tag above the center tunnel between the gas pedal and were your brake resorvior is. The rear fenders dont look like the meyers fenders as the meyers fenders did not have the lip Great tow'd , I was actually trying to convince a friend of mine that he needed it, but I'm glad you ...

Jay  Tow'ds are great, they are so different than the manxs. We are getting used to the coziness. I think you should have one in the collection. http://static.yuku.com/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif Here is ours Doran http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/199350b41100b5578bc8383440fbe0eb577f5fe...

We decided to head to Pismo for my friend Cory's Batchelor Party. It was the first time for them in any type of buggy, and I think a few of them have taken the bait.  http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/7e0356d0181db7d48b4f3bde45f5e9f0943fcfc.jpg http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/83b15a14b784334f0319f...

Well the tow'd survived Kernville. We flat towed, as its supposed to be, to the event. The reduction gears worked well, but I set the suspension up a bit to stiff. There's a few things that need adjustment, but overall I like it. It took us a while to get used to the coziness after the manxter. Here...

We had a great time. The area is so beautiful.  It took us some time to get used to the coziness of the tow'd, but at the end of the run we really enjoyed it. I think its the closest I will ever get to owning a motorcycle.  We did get a few bugs in the face, but not nearly as many as I thought we wo...

Scott At first I was not sure if the price was for one light or the pair. I was happy it was for the pair. They also sell a black ones. http://www.speedwaymotors...ype-Headlights,4120.html They are going on Tow'd. My original dietz ones are all pitted and rusting. Top secret burro project? Still dre...

I found these 7" Stainless Steel Dietz Type Headlights w/ bulbs for a very reasonable price. They came in yesterday and look great. I just thought I'd share

Greg I am thinking Big Bear Bob I actually had made one out of plexi but ended up dropping and breaking it I guess I will have to try again Steve The Irs reduction gears have been a 10 plus year project of mine. Actually this is the second version and the second buggy they have been in. I first foun...

After a 2 1/2 year build so far, the tow'd got to go around the block.  The brakes still need work, wiring, and details.  http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/03a15415b285334aaa266124acb1a6746e8db6a.jpg http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/e61258611db23856313400fc37723c4cca7f343.jpg http://images.yuku.com...

Hey Jon, Just follow me, from what I remember that trail isn't so bad. I would agree w/ Jon, the KISS principle works great. I have owned and built both swing and irs cars and have enjoyed both. In stock form the swing axles have lower gearing, but the irs cars can have more ground clearance. But as...

In your article in the manxmania you mentioned Ken Trongo found a way to reduce the oil lines down w pipe fitting and was wondering if you remember how he did it
