Here is my first atempt at a motor powered bike.
Been riding it for about 9 months now. do ~80 km a week on it.
I believe that pretty much everything on the bike and engine has broken at some point. (Both chains, accelerator cable, clutch arm, brake cables, chain tensioner, 1 front wheel, 3 rear, kill switch, rack, lost baffle, and more) Some things have been my fault, some the bike, some the engine.
Nothing has broken in last 3 or 4 months though and here it is in its current state.
I know it aint the prettiest thing, but well the bike cost me a 6 pack of beer....
Box on the back is custom built to fit a carton of beer in.
Plan on getting new bike/engine and starting fresh again.
