Ar you sure you want to do this

So I still can't ride or do any real work on a bike. I have at least one more month to go maybe more. Not only that I have caught a lot of grief about the big motor 99cc or whatever the 2.5hp ilfan is.

I put the motor on craigs list locally and today I got my first call. I don't want to sell it so I'm starting from there. But I have been in the hospital three times this month stemming from the fall I took on Aug 3rd and my family is livid. I am hammering out compromises like crazy just to keep the . One of them was to sell the over sized illegal motor.

Today the guy calls and says, "Do you still have the bike motor for sale?"

me: Sure I have it for sale.

Him: is it for for a bike?"

Me: it's for any horizontal application tiller ect

Him: but you had it on a bike?

Me. yes i did.

Him: so how did it work?

Me: it worked just fine, I can show you how to hook it up.

Him: if it works so good, why you selling it?

Me: My wife doesn't want me to ride that bike any more, since I fell off and broke 6 rids and my collar bone. Hello Hello Hello.

I did a stupid thing. I was at the top of a long steep hill so I lifted the engine. I rode down the hill till i was close to the bottom doing a pretty good speed then I thought to myself. I probably should drop this motor. then i was in the ambulance,,,, then I was in the ER ... then I was waking up in a room being told I had six broken ribs and a collar boned. After I was out four days later. I went back to work on the bike which wasn't even scratched. The collar bone separated so i was back in the hospital having it pinned and plated. After that I had a drug reaction that my wife thought was a stroke so I was back in again. It has been a mess and I still don't know what happened.

My guess is i dropped the motor and the compression was so good in the motor that it locked the rear wheel which threw the bike into a spin. Why I don't remember any of it is anybody's guess,

I can't believe that there was no damage to the bike at all. I must have broken the bike's fall.

The motor doesn't have a scratch on it. I don't want to sell it and probably won't. I am working toward a trike with that motor powering it. But I don't dare tell my wife and daughter that. It had a spindle on the drive shaft and a lift clutch. That's what I think did it, I should never have lifted the engine.

yes, I have always lifted the WW and the other small engines and then dropped them to drag start them. Bad idea with one that large on a bike.
