just built my first motor bike this weekend, was surprised by how cheap and shoddy the kit was, also the huffy bike's aren't what they were when i was a kid. anyway, got it all built and it runs. being the tinker that i am i see lots of improvements that will be made on the next one. looking forward to being a part of the forum.

I'm new to motorbikes and I am also in Ohio. Where abouts are you located in the Great State of Ohio?

Greetings and welcome. Have you been able to get a license for your motorbike at the
BMV yet ? Please tell us about YOUR experience with that ? :)

Cam,
Welcome and you said the magic words..."the next one". That's one of the problems with motorbikes; they're like potato chips. You can't stop at just one. Have fun, ride careful.

didn't know there was a need for the dmv, rode past a cop yesterday, he didn't give me any looks. yeah. i have plans for the next one already. i'm thinking an olive drab army scout bike. can't wait to get started on it. although i will be making some improvements to the throttle, rear sprocket and chain tensioner.

It only takes two cans of krylon to make a military bike!

that looks good. i was thinking of doing the engine flat black, using flat white for a star and some army logos and building a rack on the rear for a small jerry can and maybe a trenching shovel.

Yeah most police don't mind at all. I talked to one for about 20 minutes before she realized. Oh and when she realized, it was because I told her about it. Haha.. Good luck man. These things are too much fun!

I never had a problem with the tank, engine or exhaust (except the first 4" or so) Just let it dry for a full day.

It's not even high temp paint.
