But, my long hair never quite covered up my Redneck! My other major hobby is Cowboy Action Shooting! Real 1900's guns shooting steel reactionary targets.

I have had motorcycles since I was 14 and got straight B's on my report card. My Dad sprang for half I earned the other half of the money selling cokes in the Cotton Bowl when the Cowboys and the Texans played there.

I went through a Dirt Bike stage in my late 20's I had a Yamaha DT1 then I got serious and had a 250 Can Am TNT. My buddies had Bultacos, Pentons, etc. etc.

I have gotten a little long in the tooth and don't bounce so good so making a two stroke bikes for less than $300 intrigues me.

I have a Schwinn Badlands mountain bike my neighbor left behind. It's gonna look cool with a black engine. I have already found a black expansion chamber!

Can ya still change gears without doin' the jackshaft thang?

More later,

Shameless .wee.

Welcome to the forum. I rode dual purpose motorcycles when I was young too. I heal too slow to do that now.

As for playin' cowboy, I'd rather be the Indian. The shift kit deal you need is from Sick Bike Parts. It allows you to use your mountain bike gears through a jack shaft and everybody says its the cat's meow. Welcome to the forum.
