Vee-Dub-Cycle (VW Pushbike)

[Dubfan]

My first post, joined from downunder live out in the Tasman Sea a small island around 700klms NE of Sydney, Lord Howe Island.
I don't have a VW due to funds being directed to other priorities at present have been a VW fan for sometime and collecting
stuff for an age.

Have owned two Split Kombis a Bay Kombi and a Baja in the past. Been customizing push bikes for some time so here is my
over the top VW pushbike, have gone for the sort of over accessorised look!

Yeah I know non VW but just some fun, it is aircooled and engine, the rider, in the rear!

Started with a cheapy cruiser frame only mod laid the seat post back.




A bit if detail, fake tank a bit of ply wood with VW cut into it, the light is a modified garden light with a torch in it so it does work,
mounted on an old 36hp intake manifold cut up and inverted. A Wolfsburg bonnet badge and he flying VW emblem is one of my
real treasures. I sure many on here know some 60's Aussie Bugs had these a an accessory bonnet emblem, fairly rare these days,
works well on a bike I think! Fenders, cut up 60's front bumper.


Now added a stowage area, with 60's tail light, bonnet script and tappet covers off the old 36er sprayed flat to keep the patina.
Motor cycle plate thinking of re-painting it to VWRide!


Bit of VW script on the chain guard and the red trim too much black, flash trim! Standard cruiser in the back ground.

I was looking at pictures of that island. Did one of your Kombi's look like this?

No in Australia all RHD unless that pic is reversed, here is my 64 Split and 74 ex Aust Army Bay, had them in the 80's and 90's miss them!

I'm very envious, for both the Kombis and the island. I like the cruiser too.
