    new toy

    This is our new toy, runs 35mph and gets 150 miles per gallon. Can you picture Maurice running for parts on this rocket?

    Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth my younger brother and I built a motor cycle a bit like that out of an old bicycle and a Briggs and Straton engine. We wired an old tricycle wheel rim to the spokes of the rear wheel and belt drove it, no transmission, just a belt tightener for a clutch. Had lots of fun running around the rural area near our farm. He was 7 and I was 9 at the time. Later on we became business partners designing and building machines for oil and gas production but our roots went back to the old farm.

    Alan, your new scooter brought back some good memories. Thanks.

    Are you taking it to Pigeon Forge? A helmet with a Mohawk glued on top would be perfect!

    We are taking it to Pigeon Forge, you want to ride it? We bought the bike at Walmart and ordered the engine kit online, it went together about as easy as a Cobra!

    So Alan.... I did some research on the unit. Did you get the 48cc or the 66cc power house? I only saw black tanks and chain guards.... so assume you painted them white?

    After rethinking my custom basket comments above.... maybe leather saddle bags would be more appropriate?

    Be careful.... and keep the lights on!

    It has the 66cc engine and yes it did come black so I painted the tank and chain guard to match.
