I found where that hawkrack geocities page had been archived a while back. http://www.oocities.com/willitech.geo/motor/hawkrack.htm I also saved all the pics to my harddrive at home in case this one gets taken down as well. Maybe someday I'll attempt making this thing. If someone were crafty enough with metal they could probably modify this to include a backrest I suppose.
