Hello all,
A while ago I moved from England to Brazil, and was delighted to find that I could ride a low-powered motor vehicle without insurance or a license (for info on the horrors English motorized bike riders have to go through to be legal, check out this guy's experience: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~pattle/nacc/arc0497.htm)
I bought a 2-stroke kit and the cheapest bike I could find, then spent over a month trying to get it together and working (mostly due to having to bodge/repair poor-quality parts from the kit). Once it did, I used it daily and I've since upgraded to a tougher bike. Here's what the first incarnation looked like:
I absolutely love my bike, the decent speed and fuel efficiency make it more than enough for running errands in the city. I've been a bicycle nut since my early teens, but now my attention is focused more towards mopeds and motorcycles. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all.
