I have been reading this forum for about a year now, shucks, I thought I should join. Been bicycling most of my life, but age is catching up to me. Some of the hills around here are horrendous, and I live up hill. Going down is easy. Coming up is another story.
I purchased a Staton friction drive with a 1" roller with the Honda GX-35 engine and it has been a hoot. Bought it last Dec., as I recall. Excellent product, dependable and little maintenance. Have to pedal up hill a little, but nothing major.
Hit a wet spot today and that really sucked.
Got a old Giant steel framed bike in the garage that is in great shape. Think I might put an engine on that, but want to mount some Wald baskets on it to carry groceries and things.
I am a little scared of 2 strokes, too many chainsaws, weedeaters and the like. Not into working on that stuff any longer. Shucks, when I was young my first motorcycle was a Yamaha 200 twin with upswept pipes.
Send some pics as soon as I figure this stuff out. Cheers!
