Default Newbie From San Jose, CA

Hi Y'all,
I am new to motor bicycling. I just bought a cruiser and a motor kit. Unfortunately, the gas cap was missing from the kit so I can't go for a spin for at least another few days unless anyone happens to know if a replacement cap can be found at the local auto parts store. I guess that's the quality control from the origin of these factories. No surprise there. My mt. bike and road bike each have over 3000 miles on them but my legs were the motor. I guess I bought the motor bike kit because it looks super fun and I'd like to take a break from pedaling. So far, this website has been excellent and the tips and knowledge are super.

Hey Sparks66,
I am also a newbie in S.J. We should try to hook up for a ride some time. I live in north San Jose and ride a lot of the trails around Alviso. Drop me a line and we'll hit the road. See ya, Sharksfan.
