Default Oldwheeler

Hello! I'm a 74-year old man getting back to my boyhood. In my teen years, boys took old gasoline engines and put them on bicycles and made motorbikes. I couldn't afford them back then, so now that I have time and occasional spare cash, I plan to make up for it. Besides, I can't afford a Harley 45, or an Indian Scout. "Make" magazine directed me to this website, and I expect to get a lot of information and enjoyment from it.
