Howdy Do!
My name is Youngbird, but you can call me Jim. Obviously Im new here because of where Im posting, LOL. I have just found out/gotten interested in Motorized Bicycles. I have owned some sweet motorcycles in my day, but want to get into this. See if it bites me....I think it already has.
Im starting out with a 26" WallyWorld Huffy Cruiser and want to go the "Bobber " route, so I'll be asking for advice. I built a "68/"72 triumph hardtail about 25 years ago, so mechanical skills I have or had. Im looking forward to a lot of fun with this. Wish me luck. Jim.

Re: Howdy Do!
Too bad Whitworth tools won't work on these bikes! If you have a pair of Leatherman pliers or similar, you can do everything on one.
Welcome to the beginning of a great adventure.

Re: Howdy Do!
Welcome to the forum Youngbird.
Trust me, it'll really bite you. It bit me hard before I even got a motor, lol. I'm having withdrawals from not being able to ride my mb for the last month and a half....
