It's Brand New Stu!

[kiwigasbikes]

Hello from New Zealand. Im a semi retired old fart who plays with motorized bicycles. I have 5. two chinadoll 49ccs in old steel framed MTBs and two YD 80s one in my daily ride, a high specced modern MTB and the other is in a project bike- a Thor board racer tribute bike. Thor were the company that made the engines for Indian. My second project is a longtail cargo bike made from pallet timber and powered with a 80cc honda clone. there will be photos in future posts.

Stu, I keep telling these guys that I left Boston only because I was sent on a mission to teach these heathens and barbarians how to speak PROPER Bostonian English using proper diction, annunciation, and pronounciation, along with an upper class style of the Boston Brahmin accent instead of those southern drawls, and western twangs they seem so fond of...lol...lol...lol.
