Just a kid here...

Hi! I'm sorta new to motorbiking, but I'm already on my second build. My first one was a board-track racer that isn't exactly "legal" Anyway I'm 14 and the bike I'm working on is going to be Whizzer-esque I have a 1 1/2 horse Clinton engine I'm putting on it. I don't like the kit engines, they just aren't me, (plus I'm a cheap-skate and I don't like spending $150 bucks for an engine that'll wear out I'll spend 5 bucks on one from a junkyard). I'll post some pictures of my first bike and the process of my second later. Thanks!

Actually, the way I've planned it, it should be able to get up to about 40-45. My first bike has a 1/2 horse Briggs and Stratton WMB and I've gotten up to 28 (THAT was scary, especially when the front wheel started to come off ) But I'm leaving the pedals on this one, and no jack-shaft this time. So I hope it's a good bike to ride around town and such...

Thanks! That was my first "real" project. My dad had to help me a lot. My next build is going to be "legal" and I'm doing most of it myself (I need his help with the rear sheave, but the rest I've done myself: collecting parts, getting the bike, finding an engine, mounting the engine, and getting the engine running, etc...). I'm posting my progress so far on that build if you want to see it, it'll be in the same place as My first build.
