 Re: Deacon's Bike
This is a case where I am building for me but what if I had decided to build one for money? Then I would be hopping up and down. I am very, very customer service oriented. If he had made me late by five days on a delivery I would be down his throat big time.
But I learned a valuable lesson. Have the materials on hand should I decide to build for someone. For now I'm just going to build and see if I can sell them in my yard and on craig's list.
I think there is a market for a cheap motor bike. Something the guy who works for a low wage can afford to buy and ride to work. This may or may not be the answer, but it's the closest thing I've seen. I have to find a source for the engines but bikes are pretty easy to find and recondition.
I think I'm going to change the mounting technique but basically it will be the same thing. There is a guy some twenty miles from me who sells on ebay. I may ride down to his place and check out some of his engines.... I wonder how many different brands of weed wacker have the threaded shaft. That sure makes things easier... |
