The Great MB Photo Challenge

Here's a fun little topic, we get to see more pictures. The way it works is, the poster, (me) post a picture of my bike with some item. Then the challenger post a picture of their bike with the same (very similar) item. Then the challenger post a second picture of their bike with a new item for the next challenger to match. My first one I'll make easy my bike and a car. GO!

Its Fall! Dead Korn, Darkness, and Spooky things wooo....add pics of Fall things!

Sporting its new bmx bars, reworked front, best pic yet of my urban fatbike playing on the last day of summer. The Korn is dead... Leaves beginning to turn...oh zoom in check out the redneck volleyball court! And soon, the season nears. The land will be as cold and dead as Van Hook and his buddies behind my bike. Hope none of them followed me. I thought that name was like a dracula or vampire kind of name, real creepy. I'll be adding more as the spooky season approaches. I hope to get...

Will it ever be finished. Probably not..

It don`t look like much, But after all this trial and error over the last year messing with bigger carbs, porting, setting the squish ect..tried useing a catnip cdi and I had been trying to get a stuffed g2 reed and 21mm pwk carb and than a smaller 19mm oko just couldn`t get ittuned right with it. Useing the 40 tooth sprocket i had lost 6mph with the bigger carbs and catnip cdi. I ended up going back to a ztmoto reed and bofang carb and reg, cdi. Now she`s back up there over 40mph rippen...

My bike just about dialed in.

My first post. There it is, my first bike. Hiland MTB 66cc motor cleaned up internals, port matched, NGK plug, extractor exhaust, HP carb, 52 tooth rear sprocket and modified stock muffler. Stock internals and head. Took a long time to make this happen, watched a lot of youtube and read the forums. This one is the best by far. A few details, the extractor on it's own was way too loud so I put the stock muffler on which killed the power so I made it into a glass pack by gutting the internals...

Risky's Ride Revisited- New (original) engine install

Before I had a clue about motorbikes, I bought the gas tank frame from Badberry. I wanted to build my first 2 stroke and get it street legal and plated for Florida Laws. I also bought the Badberry "BBR Tuning" performance "80 / 100cc" engine kit for my soon to be legal bike. Then I read the Florida Statutes on Moped (gas motor bikes) and found out it needed to be 50cc or less. So I shelved the BBR engine and bought a silver streak 50cc motor kit and the rest is history for the Risk's Ride...

Finally riding

Finally rode it a few miles. According to the speed control sign on my street I got up to 38, which is plenty fast for me. Pretty quick of the line although I can tell my 20 dollar clutch slips a bit. Only took me 11 1/2 months.

1912 excelsior forks started

Good start. The 1960s era huffy forks worked well for the base. Need to figure out if I want the headlight elevated slightly above handlebars, mid range or head tube level. After those brackets are tack welded I'll finish the welds, grind and file them and, move on. Happy with the results so far.

Early carbide headlight

Headlight came in from England yesterday. Luckily it's in very restorable condition. Not sure if I'll use a carbide tank or make it an LED.

Next build started 1912 Excelsior

Got the Worksman frame, Early carbide headlight coming from England. Made these bars over the last couple of days and will build the front truss fork using an early 60s Huffy triple plate fork that hopefully will be shipped by the seller soon. I want it to closely resemble a 1912 Excelsior motorcycle. No sprocket or pedals. I make foot rests and use the bottom bracket for the jack shaft. Going with a 212 predator. I'm going to fil the entire build and post it on my youtube channel but will...

49cc gas mountain board project

Apparently our water heater broke down at work so I got the day off and the weather is awesome so I'm tearing down and prepping the board. I'm surprised how everything lines up pretty good so far. I'm still getting an adapter plate and vibration buffers for the motor mount. The bearings and rims are great. The tires are ok but I'm upgrading to some slimed out, beefed up knobbies. After some lube the brake linkage is really smooth and even the shoes look good. That pretty much leaves me with...

Mongoose Sycamore Phantom 85

A dumpster Mongoose and P-85. About 150 yards from this house in s a sign that reads, ‘Loud motorcycle exhaust will not be tolerated.’ And they are serious because there is a series of switchbacks that all the Johnny racers go up and down. I really think that loud Harleys are what they are trying to discourage.

Full suspension build ups and downs

Thought I would post pics of my long awaited full suspension build. Looks like the biggest problem now is locating the card. I got most of it fabricated until more parts show up. Going to build the wheels next followed by pit bike hydraulic calipers

212 Golf Cart

I know this has 4 wheels but the build is in the spirit of what we do here. A friend gave me a fairly nice Ezgo cart that needed too much to repair the electrics. Having a new 212 and torque converter in boxes its a no brainer. About a zillion of these have been done, but as usual I opted for the hard way. Not wanting to build all the intricate structures most folks do I opted to use the case of the old motor. Required a lot of tedious, actually a little over an hour, cutting of the motor...

New front fork

Im think this fork might be just a little bit stronger than the 25 year old Judy xc.

Fired up and actually rode my first motorized bike today.

I rode the bike as far as the house next door and immediately came to a couple conclusions. First thing is the 25 year old rock shox Judy is not up to the task. I am going to find a steel threadless 1 1/8 rigid fork that is disc brake ready unless any of you folks could recommend a affordable yet well made suspension fork. Second thing is the coaster brake is pretty much worthless as a few of you guys had told me would probably be the case with it I don't have any idea what I am going to...
