I'll be moving out to Gresham within the week. My wife and I are both going to be attending MHCC this summer term, so we decided to move across the street to the college. Gresham is a very nice city.

YAHOO!!! I made the maiden voyage today, 12 miles to work. It worked AWESOME! It was a bit sluggish because the drive wheel I used is, I think a bit too big. About 1-1/2" (skateboard wheel). I'm going to try to grind it down tonight to closer to 1" and see how that does. Also need to take pics.
FYI, I used a 22oz MSR fuel bottle for my tank. It's just strapped to the front near the forks but I think it will be enough fuel to last a week. I didn't plumb it in to the existing tank like most because the existing tank was giving me fits. I just drilled two 7/32 holes in the top of the MSR and ran 1/4"OD tubing for the feed and return. Funny thing was, the existing tubing was so small, I ended up just slipping it inside the new tubing and the fit was excellent.
YAY! Man... this is sweet satisfaction.

front mount engine
why would you build a front wheel drive bike what about exhaust fumes backing into your face

I built it front wheel drive so that I would still have plenty of cargo area over the rear wheel. As to exhaust... I get none in my face from this and i've ridden it about 30 miles so far, perhaps because it's lower to the ground and I sit up high on my bike.
Well,
I LIKE IT!
If you're riding then it's all good! I'm still waiting on my GEBE kit. They are swamped and fighting vendor issues. I'm getting a bit impatient. Was hoping to retire my car this summer... so many things need repairs... yesterday I had to replace the alternator. Another $90 into an old rust bucket.
While waiting for my engine kit to arrive, I bought a second engine off ebay for $35. It's a new 26cc Glendale GE26 2-cycle. I've ordered a clutch bell and plan to make a clutch housing and maybe a friction drive just to stick on another bike for the time being.
Take some PICS PICS PICS!!! Wanna see your new toy!
Cudos!
