it's -a-comin'...

Hey Rif, got the fingers crossed. I hope the build works out well for you. I am thinking of a GEBE wheel and the T-40 myself. Keep us posted and a few pic.s during the build and the results would be nice. I don't like mixing fuel but a bigger tank and keep a few gallons mixed and kept at home will be ok I guess.
 
Cool guys... The kit came today, but I haven't even opened it yet, as I have to go to bed early for work for the next three days. I don't want to get involved and stop in the middle of it. Repeated through my work 'week'.
On monday afternoon I'll start the build, and do the whole write up with pic.s for ya as I do it...
 
god i couldnt sleep trying to build it in bed! go riffster! i cant wait till monday myself now!
 
Alright kids; I've got a couple erands to run, and upon my return we shall begin!!! Stay tuned, pics and report to come...
 
Well darn it!!! I haven't had opportunity to start due to other people's needing my help. Dad called this mornin' and needed some help with storm damage repairs. I'll be darned if I'm gonnaq have my 71 year old dad, up on a ladder, wrangling sheets of corrugated tin, on a quonset hut building 2 1/2 sstories up, all by himself... Tell ya what though, I'll, get the engine together with the "transmission" (i call it that because it transfers power from the engine to the wheel, there's no multiple gears or anything) and take photos tonight, that's a pretty good start, then we'll see what the rest of the week yields as far as free time...
 
don't you make me come up there :p :rolleyes:

Well here's a few teaser pic.s, we have the bike: A Western Flyer middleweight I picked up a few weeks ago (along with an old 80's Columbia cruiser with balloon tires), the GEBE kit as I opened it, and the engine Which is a Tanaka 40cc two-stroke. I will tell the tale, in detail, when I get crackin' on it Thursday A.M. My week got away from me, but I've set that time aside for this...! well the pics aren't loading...
 
Hey Rif, I'm 71 also and I need a new roof. Any chance....... Ah, never mind, I'm gonna go ride my bike. I'll wait till I'm 90 or so when I don't have anything left to do or play with.:eek:
