One of my twin daughters wants to go biking with me, but, she doesn't like shifting all those gears and wants to keep it simple. OK, how about a 3-speed, "sure," says she. So, put together this heap so she could see if she likes a 3-speed before I plunk down some major bucks for a good one. It...

Thanks, Luke!

Painting on the body pieces continues, took it out for another spin on Sunday, pegged the speedo at 50 mph, rolled the throttle back to 3/4s, and it held the speed. It was screaming though.

Painted a lot of the body panels today, more to go, then, wax on, wax off!

Stella's are retro cool! A lot of the parts, I have heard, are interchangeable with the Vespa.

Oops! I haven't dropped building bikes, though, working up a quick and cheap, 3-speed, hybrid for my daughter to ride.

Those are sweet lookin' rides! Took mine our for a long, break-in ride, it is a screamer now! Scooters are inexpensive entertainment and easy to work on. Ride safe!

I remember those! Escapes me who made them for HD.

A remarkable difference in the performance. After the initial test ride, I realize a big blunder in where I had the muffler strut mounted, OY, I forgot that the motor pivots, redid the strut so they would be on with the motor and drive assembly.

It's a beauty! In fact, this is the theme that my scooter, re-do, is going to emulate, a Vespa. Thanks for your comment and pics!

OK, I got caught up in the scooter craze. I have a 50cc chi-scoot that I am modifying. Going with a, "big-bore," kit @100cc's. It is all stripped down a and I am installing the head kit and some other goodies. Here are the links to my YT videos. Will miss out on the Spring Build Off, but, I will...

Great, objective, critique, Bill!

Anyone seen this yet? Local Motors is a new, start up company that will build, electric and a gas-powered, bikes. Pricey, but, cool! https://localmotors.crowdhoster.com/the-cruiser-a-stylish-motorized-bicycle#product

Thanks, guys! Yep, I figured it to be junk, some yuppy may pull of the beaten path to this place and plunk down some change, oy!

My wife stopped by an gift/antique store last week, she told me that she saw an old bike there. They had, $75.00 on it, my wife mentioned that I like old bikes and might be interested in it. She did not get a pic of it, so, we both went to the place this last Saturday, guess what, they must have...

Way ahead of its time.

What is old is new, then again, why mess with perfection.
