Hi,
I am very new to MB and while researching I came upon this board. It has
been a wonderful find and I have been reading through it a couple days now.
I am a full time RVer and have been living in a small town in TN called Baileyton. Baileyton is a really small town, really really small. I had been walking to the small town for supplies and recently picked up a bike that had been tied on the back of a neighbors RV for a very long time.
Got it cheap and cleaned it up removing rust and it looks pretty good now. I think it was one of those deals where the older guy who owned it picked it up and rarely used it and then tied it to his rear ladder and it looked like it was there a long time. But I was surprised how brasso and a lot of elbow grease removed the rust from the rims and derailers. The tires and brake pads were like new.
Besides replacing the horrible seat, I have a 48CC Motor kit (Ebay), due to arrive on Wednesday, the 27th. Looking forward to the conversion and I have been arming myself with the knowledge I have been gleeming from this board. Its a standard Huffy with a V frame and no surprises so I am thinking its going to be a easier install than many I have seen.
Look forward to having my MB to explore this area as running the motor home costs me about 50 cents a mile so I avoid that. I am lucky to be in a state where under 50cc on a bike is legal and no hassles.
