Hi every body im Adrian from Queensland Australia
A few mths ago I was looking at buying my kids a mini bike how ever i could only find those nasty made in china ones YUK!!!!
So i started looking at making my own mini bike soon the idea grew into me looking at making go karts and mini bikes as a kinda extra income thing
During the course of my research I met a guy who lives about 1 hrs drive from me named Ken lowe he's 60 yrs old a nice american guy living over here in Australia
Anyway he said to me "A few yrs ago, he needed a vehical to to run around the pits at the drags", over there in USA!.
"So he got together with a cpl of friends and made a small go kart kinda vehical, and while having pizza came up with the idea of putting a stool on it".
Sounds nuts huh!! at least thats what I thought when I heard it.
Well this old guy, he didn't sound nuts when he was telling me his story!
Turns out this "vehical with a stool on it" was taken all over America and you guys didn't think he was nuts either and started a sport out of these nutty vehicals.
So I looked into these "Bar Stool Vehicals" a little more turns out this humble old guy Ken Lowe AKA ( Father of the bar stool racer) is somthing of a legend in his own time.
Why am I here HMMM I think that It would be really cool to manufacture Bar Stool Racers here and get this really cool sport happening over here in Australia. So I gess Im here doing research kinda!!! or I might just hang out here for a bit and see what happens......
Oh for the sceptics of my story (as to its validity) I recon Kens a really cool guy, who has earned my respect. So I don't really care what the "sceptics" have to say
I met the legend!!!
P.s for new people who don't know Bar stool racer history this might help.
