THE BIKE

I MADE THIS ONE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. I MADE IT OUT OF DESPERATION FOR A RIDE TO WORK DURING A DOWN TIME OF MY CAR. IT SERVED ME WELL. I HAD A FRIEND WITH A MOTO SCOOTER AND HE CLOCKED ME AT 45 ON A LONG STRAIGHTAWAY. I KNEW I WAS GOING FAST, BUT I FIGURED IT WAS ABOUT 35 TO 40 MPH. THIS BIKE WAS A LITTLE SCARY AT TOP SPEED AND A LITTLE HARD TO STOP. I HAD TO PEDAL TO START OFF AND THEM DROP THE MOTOR FOR FRICTION DRIVE POWER ON THE WHEEL. IT TOOK A LITTLE GETTING USED TO. I WHEN ABOUT 5 MILES INTO TOWN AND BACK AGAIN ON A COFFEE CUP AND A HALF OF 2 STROKE FUEL. IT WAS REAL QUIET AT ABOUT 20 TO 25 MILES PER HOUR. I COULD SNEAK UP ON OTHER TEN SPEEDS AND FLY BY THEM. LOTS OF FUN.

What a build...do what ya gotta do when times are tough and ya need a ride quick.

[muddymuddymuddmann]

@X92Exploder I NEED TO REBUILD THE CARBURETOR AND SHORTEN THE SQUARE TUBING. IT WEARS OUT THE SKATEBOARD WHEEL AFTER ABOUT A MONTH, BUT THE REAR TIRE SHOWS NO WEAR.

@muddymuddymuddmann

I figured the tire would wear out first.

[muddymuddymuddmann]

@X92Exploder that's what i thought at first. but after 4 wheels and almost no sign of wear, i figured it out. the polyeurathane or what ever it is , is either not as durable as the tire or there is so much more tire surface to wear out on the tire. The ratio is 14 to one turns.

To tell you the truth , I dont know, I never tore it apart.

It was a stihl blower motor, if that helps

also does you engine have 1 main bearing or 2??

[muddymuddymuddmann]

Ha Ha Ya but not as old as the bike or me!!! the peugot was pulled of the top of a scrap pile by a friend and given to me when times were hard. and the blower was in the trash a few days later. So I incorporated the 2 together so this old fossil could get around. I know I've put 1k miles on it plus some.

10 mile to work and 10 back on a 3 cup tank each day plus all the riding I did after work and days off for almost a year. 12 skateboard wheels and 2 tires. and no wet roads.
