Just Ordered a BIKE! Worksman LGB!

[echotraveler]

Echotraveler,
I'd be excited too waiting for a Worksman bike ... super cool! I've never seen one "in person" but have drooled over their ad pictures for a long time. I hope you'll be posting pic's and reporting on what it's like.

Have you got a motor in mind?

Envious in Michigan,

sure thing...im going for a 50cc 2-stroke happy time, im guessing that for uphilly terrain i may encounter needs some muscle.
what i dont like is the tanks they come with, so im alredy thinking of a decent tank for the bike.

i would like a cylinder chaped gas tank...to put behind the seat...

BGW,
The bike in my avatar is a 1960's (mid to late 60's I think) Sears motorcycle. I believe it was actually made by Garrelli. It was a 4-speed, 4-stroke, 106-cc ... sounded like a little Harley. Very nice little bike once you got used to the European style brake/shift arrangement. Something about it made people look and wave when I'd go by ... had lots of fun on it before selling it some years ago.

Thanks for asking ... good memories ... sorry if I rambled on in Echotraveler's Worksman bike thread. Hope he posts more pics soon.

no prob bros its cool

Original Post (crazy gas echo thought)

hey guys worksman told me today that the package was shipped on friday... the good folks of workman gave me a bax global tracking number wich says the package is already here in Puerto Rico, but it was odd that the arriving time of newark nj was 10:30 and the arriving time to Puerto Rico was 10:03 so i knew something was not right....

then the puerto rico status box says "exception scan*" ok so i called Bax and the good miss told me the bike was still in NJ and that it seems it may be in customs, but the the estimated departure is still the 25th..

hope the guys in customs dont ride it before i do...lol

its actually a pretty big package, over 100 pounds!!!

any of you guys know Bax Global?

Hello, Without a doubt Worksman makes the best bikes in the U.S... You got a bike that will last a lifetime. Well maybe not cause mine died many years ago when it was backed over by a milk delivery truck. True story ...Years ago when the world was still a friendly place they used to deliver milk to our house and leave it on the porch. Well the driver forgot that I didn't listen to my father and always left my bike just laying around in harms way and crunch I was out of the paper delivery buisness and he must have listened to his dad cause he was still delivering the milk . The bikes are great though and will last a long time. I run a set of 26 x 2.125 Worksman Clincher 36 spoke rims that are spoked with 11 g / .120" spokes thru welded steal rims that are 1 & 3/4 inches wide and the toughest made in the U.S. So they say .......
