Hello,
I had attempted to purchase a motor from BGF on ebay, but was denied, after paying, due to living in California and the CARB regs. Now paypal has my money tied up and I guess I'll have to enjoy this hobby from the sidelines. My main purpose was to buy the kit and have fun assembling the sucker, tweaking the motor and enjoying the rides afterward. Guess California politicians think I'd be leaving a cloud of smoke everywhere I went. Anybody know of an approved bike (gas) motor for a California resident? Sounds like a blast getting a motor and building a rat bike. My bike is an old Schwinn Panther, 2 speed, found at a yard sale for $10. Only thing missing was the gooseneck bolt. I've since changed the handlebars along with the rims and tires. Went to more of a beach cruiser look and feel. The older gentleman I purchased the bike from, said it was his, when he was a kid. Said he and his sister had good times riding it from their house into town to get candy. Bike is in very nice shape, I kept all the parts in order to restore it if I ever want to sell or trade it. Would have been a cool motorized bike, would have.
Sideliningly,
Casey
