So I have to post here first.
I was riding a POS 12 speed with a crumpled sprocket derailer so it was really a 6 speed and the rear tire was so bent it was like a exorcise bike with all the resistance it gave when pedaling, then some asshat stole it - so now I walk the 2.4 miles to work since I work a split shift thats 9.6 miles I walk every day I work, being a heavy smoker, drinker and red meat eater this is good - However, this affords me alot of time to think about building stuff.
When I get another bike I will also get a horizontal shaft 2cycle - maybe from a $100 rototiller at a pawnshop, maybe one from harbor freight tools, maybe from craigslist I could use a vertical shaft and convert/fabricate the crankcase oil slinger and rotate the carb 90° as I have researched and found possible, but since I'm starting off fresh (no bike, no motor) I may as well just for over the cash for what I need rather than jimmi rigging already crappy supplies.
Thats what I think about every day, 4 times a day, as I slog to work for my measly pay.
Nice to find a forum all about this stuff, I am eager to syphon some knowledge/wisdom/do's-n-don'ts/can't-n-won'ts whatnot/whatever.
