Really does look awesome, Racie.

Been thinking about this for years but given your skills, a MB food/pizza delivery bike. Or a mobile hot dog cart. Really would be a fun biz and I do believe a market producing them.

Those would be cool...I've seen the worksman reverse trikes with that goofy wagon type axle before,with foods for sale in a box etc...one locally sells a Spanish wrap or something.
Popcorn machine would rock!

Worked on a floating hot dog cart before fuel prices went crazy but the local health inspector had told me that prepackaged foods and drinks would pretty much sail threw any inspection process. Now is kind of a fanticy to make MBs for this and run one on Fishers Island NY. ,Hehe " ice cream! (Never did come up with a way to make way for a mobile ice cream mob)

Wethersfield, CT., Racie. In my younger years I worked on the New London ferries to Long island and Block Island on my off time in the Merchant Marine. (Marketing idea, Block Island!) Moosylvania is our fictitious summer home.

I made more money on the dang ferries then on oil tankers. 4 months on, 2 months off and all of it was many hours, days, weeks and months of sheer boredom broken up only by moments of sheer terror, lol. Live and learn sorta thing, there.

In the events section, some of us are talking about a ride/picnic thing this July. http://motorbicycling.com/showthread.php?t=55548

Be great if ya can come. These things are a blast. (MB folks are great fun. Crazy but great fun) And would love to see your work in person.

Yeah I've got a few more recent pics but as usual I struggle posting here ..I'll try tomorrow.
Not a whole lot of progress but there's been some. I'm in the middle of a move and until I get this to my new garage and get setup it'll be slow. Its time for the engine plate so I better decide which one I'm using for sure. Toss up right now between 212 and a Honda gc190 or a whizzer. What I really wish I had is one of those mini mustang motorcycle engines...never see those around though.

Id like to see the progress too:)
Congrat with the new place/ garage!
Go honda,212 buddy, for some.....having a Whizzer is like having a cat.
You can have one,but....you can't own it.

Not that I have a cat...........but if I did.........id call him.......CINCINNATI;)
