Hello all,
My name is Rhett Dudley and I live in Hiedelberg Germany. I am a 54 year old retired pilot and small business owner. My wife is a former US Marine and currently a DOD civilian working as a Budget Chief for Army 5TH Corp Europe and we have been here for 5 years. I have owned all kinds of large and small motorcycles and mo-peds in my life and when I was at FL State U many years ago I got around on a small French mo-ped called a Moto-Becaune or something like that and I loved it. We may very soon be relocating to either FT. BRAGG-NC or FT.Monroe in Virginia and I am very interested in obtaining a gas powered bicycle. But, I have no experience with actual bicycles with motors on them. I would be using it mostly for easy fun where starting up a 3000 pound car to go get some milk is kind of lame if the store is only a 1/2 mile away and some easy local 'bike rides' of 10-20 miles out of the way of very heavy traffic. I am in good shape,-6'2 under 200 lbs and ride my regular bike (a Cannondale) all the time. I have just started looking and so far I kind of like Golden Eagle Bike Engines, perhaps on a good mountain bike platform and something that could handle some ' hilly" terain and 25-30 mph speeds. any way glad to be a new member!! ---Regards, Rhett
