Just rooting through the farm sheds and under a cover stashed in the corner is a Rokon two wheel drive farm bike I've never seen one before,what a piece of home made bike indeed.Its got a Honda engine and a chain driven front wheel.Anyone else heard or seen one of these.?I think i'm going to have to get it going just to try it out on some of these muddy hills,its bizzare.

Sounds like fun. The riding, not the cleaning.

Here is a little more on 2wd including the Drysdale. Don't forget to check out the V8.
