Thanks for this info, as I was just wondering about this myself. May I ask how one installs the custom Titles I've seen around such as Builder, Dealer, Elite, and Sponsor?

Thanks for the chart though. I was wondering how long I would be a 'Newbie'

BTW, I didn't actually do the entire Build for my neighbor friend's bike, but I assisted and guided him. Does this at least count as a Partial Build for my experience points? I can tell you that he has some miles on his Stock Chain still, and that's one thing I learned from my own bike and passed on to him. Here's a Pic of the neighbor's Bike.



You can see my bike in the background by the car. And yeah, the BMX handlebars look odd, but they really do make for a comfortable ride. I know, cause he made ME do the Road Trails on his bike instead of him doing so himself. Either he trusted me to know what I was doing on the final adjustments and tweaking.... or he was trying to kill me by being the one who may have suffered the second stock chain failure!

Lucky for me, the first road trials were a Success!

We have no experience points, the titles are only to show how active you are on the forum. They have nothing to do if you have built 10,000 bikes or don't even own one.

For a custom title you could ask the administration, but like most members who have a custom title, they donated to the forum.

I don't think the BMX handlebars look odd, I am planning to add some dirt bike or atv bars to my ride. I am not big on looks....... function, reliability, and a comfortable bike is what is important to me. Like I have said before.... The Bling don't get you Home.

Is that a nose of a Mustang II I see in the garage? Just wondering I used to race one.

Maybe its a Capri, cant tell. It sure does look familiar to me.

I use those bars all the time on my builds. It helps me to have higher bars and I'm too cheap to buy custom ones.

I'm glad to see your neighbor built one so You have someone to ride with.

I have a strange title. I was just in the right place at the right time I guess. Back when there were arguments about titles. Since i build strictly Diy and Ebikes now, and there was no title for it, I got this one. I guess they decided not to change mine back and I get to keep this one.

Besides most of my posts are non technical just stuff I see around.

That is an old Mustang II in the garage that you see there. A '76 I believe. Shame that he doesn't drag that out and actually get to work on it. It's just the 2.3L Four banger, but still would be a nice car if he got to back to work on it!

I'm glad to see that other folks are also Practical with the handlebars. When I first heard his idea on using the BMX bars, (before I actually saw them installed) I really thought it would be lame. UNTIL... I actually started it up for him in the road trials!

When I saw them installed, I thought they actually looked A-OK. When I actually Rode the bike, I really Approved!! Comfort really works, and these are pretty comfortable.
