Hello From Oregon

Hi.

Me and my wife are middle age and saw the engine kits sometime back.
We live in the mountains in a remote rural area (chickens..solar power etc..)

We thought building a couple of these bikes would be a great way to have some fun and explore the dirt and backroads in the forest.
We are not mountain bikers, just cruisers..

We ran across your site and it looks like your all having a great time.

I am a blacksmith and have a small shop and do iron and metal work.
It looks like there is some great talent in building these bikes here.
There's alot of art expression.

Anyway, we ordered a couple of bikes and they should be here this week.
We're shopping around for engine kits, exhaust pipes and I like the gear changing kit I saw here.

I'll post some pics when we start the build.

Again, it looks like your all doing great work.

Thanks for reading..
Joshua
