Can you guys guess what it is?

I am just missing a few parts......the bike looks straight, no dents in the tank ,it has the original tires with only 2000 miles on it.

as an 8th grader I knew a guy who had one of those, needless to say he was the BMOC, it didn't get much better back then!

nice sky color, but that corn looks like it didn't get enough roundup.

LOL Thanks G-R. Yes I should have been more specific about the vegetation. It was taken from the back yard of my Riding Buddies House...here's another pic just 1/4 mile down the road from there - really in the C&B:

Ron;
That's pretty much what it "should" look like.........but most like mine had the black frame.

Gimme that Wombat!

i read a blurb somewhere about a design contest from one of the engineering schools for a small displacement mountianbike/motor driven cycle, the bike the pictured looked like that but with a more compact frame. something like 85 cc. probly get a million miles/gallon, which i think was the idea.

never seen a wombat, but that would be a cool commuter around here.

lightfighter 09-17-2010 09:59 AM

there is one on ebay in phoenix for 950.

I had to know. I kinda want it. I have no earthly use for it, and im afraid to put a teenager on a bike. but that would be a fun restoration.

Went looking for a pic of a Combat Wombat... a bike I read about as a child...found a pic on this site. Lots of good bike porn.

Classic motorcycles, custom motorcycles and cafe racers

I don't see a picture of a Combat Wombat on that link, but I think I want it.

This is how the bike was set up.......the photo was taken in a small town park I found in Sumas, Washington just before I returned into Canada.

Hey Bryan, you got a pic of that from the back? I am thinking of getting those bags, but they might make my a$$ look too big! :D
