I'm from Waxahachie, TX. I have three old bikes out back, all of which have something wrong with them and are not being used. I am trying to learn how to weld and after I am able to do that, then I am going to put into action one of my mind's many ideas.

I have an old Briggs & Stratton 5 HP horizontal shaft motor with a centrifugal clutch and spoke on the side of it.

I looked at the two sitting beside each other (bike and motor) and thought to myself, I've always wanted a motorcycle...

So here I am. I googled it for fun and found you guys!

I have many questions to ask, but I will save them for another thread.

Welcome to the forums, from north of Dallas, in Lewisville. There is a forum here that is specially devoted to "build your own", not from a kit motors. Click here to go to it. Just make sure you don't gear that 5 HP motor very low, or you'll be spending all of your money buying new rear tires.;) See you around.

Welcome to the forum. I'm in Katy. 5hp is about twice what is needed, but it should be a lot of fun.
