Hello From Sparks, NV

Howdy Justin, welcome. Nice builds!

Love them Point Beachs! The one in the vid started out with a dax 70 2 smoker. Then went to a BoyGoFast, then to a Honda GX50 and now has a Harbor Freight 79cc. The brake pads and tires that came with it were the longest lasting I have ever had on a MB. The front wheel still lives and is on another MB. Replaced it with a Worksman drum brake. The HF tore up every cheapo rear wheel I had. (The thing is a monster) Aside from the poor bearing cages, the PB just rocks! Getting heavy duty springer forks for her this week. It would be a guess, but easily have 5K miles on her with no major failures. Was testing the HF prototype early winter until now. I was trying to beat on it to see what would fail on the engine and tranny. The PB is still kicking. This is a vid of her now. Some crashes, me learning bicycle maintenance and a real ruff winter later.

The seat post makes a world of difference on the PB with those huge cattle horn handle bars. Really does. A buddy of mine made them for me. That is a solid peice of metal.





If your on dial-up, your cursing me right now eh? lol

Ya know, I had to think about why I did use this one bike over and over. I build em here and there and have a bunch of bikes around. (well, the wife keeps confiscating the classic old ones saying "that's 2 pretty to put a motor on" cracks me up)

Has become an emotional bond, I would like to say but a large part is just lazy. It's already set up, beat up an' put up wet.

I think it is Bairdco who uses old handle bars to make lay back seat posts. Bent post really makes the PB so much funner a ride. I was gonna ask you about yours. I just havn't seen one with so small an angle. Spooky has em with a lil support bar that I have been meaning to try.

Choppersus has some great stuff. could spend a whole lot of cash there. I wanna put a motor on one of these some day; 6 Person Surrey Bicycle - Cycles U.S. LLC/Choppers U.S.

This is spooky's bent seat post w/ the support bar I mentioned. 1" Bent Steel Seat Post with Support

Rhoades Car - The 4-wheel bike that drives like a car. Wholly cow! Thats cool. Great, more stuff to keep me awake wondering how I can do it, lol Am thinkikng 6.5 HF already. (they are on sale)

I hadn't thought about the heating thing. Good idea.
