Greetings,
Bones here. I've been reading this forum for about a month and finally decided to commit and become one of the assimilated.
Such a great thing you have going here, folks; truly.
Just getting into the 'craze' & have a lot to learn & lot of fun to have. Not sure when I'll have time to indulge myself - definitely looking forward to the decadence that is a motoredbikes discussion piece though. Thanks to all that have contributed to provide such a base from which to pull, and to the administrators for keeping it so. Best of all to you all...
Additionally, I ride, I walk, I hike, I sail, sure I drive too but don't need to mention that here. I've grown up with motorcycles since I was 8 years old, and BMX bikes and 10 speeds, evolving into my first mountain bike purchase in 1993/4 (still have it! Might be my 1st MB build too), but there was always a guy in the neighborhood with a bike that had a motor on the front of it (early 80s - we thought the bike was 60s) that seemed oh so enticing. I always wanted to approach him and ask if it was for sale, after seeing it stored behind his garage for years. It was something that was always in the back of my mind though and recently, on a 2 day bicycle ride I mentioned it to my girlfriend's father & he replied with "eh, wears out the front tires too quickly," he has costly Continentals on his touring bike, mind you, "go to ebay and type "bike motor kit" and..." ...and that led me here today, about a month and many sleepless nights of reading later. I tip my hat with thanks to all you first-comers. Let the posting begin!
