Re: SIGNUP Worksman Board Track Racer & Road Style Tribute Bicycles
Hello, Everyone -
I have been trying to handle the stresses associated with a loved one who is currently fighting for her life & trying to deal/survive with a spinal cord tumor that is called an Ependymoma; it's a tumor that is growing inside the spinal cord itself. She has days now of symptoms and days of total incapacitation.
I'll do all I can to promote this endeavor. There are many other people who have offered input and suggestions for this project, and to them I'm forever greatful for their support those of you know who you are!
Some of you are: RedB66, Jim@Creative Engineering, Chuck@Halcyon, Acme Motorbikes, and many others on the Motorbicycling.com forum & RatRodBikes.com. All of us would LOVE to see Worksman build these boardtrack racer frames, in addition to all of the Worksman forum/discussion board members who are also interested.
Due to finances & lifes obstacles I'm at a crossroads with my input for these new Worksman BTR frames/bicycles, which could change CREATOR willing.
First I'd like to start by saying that I started this endeavor in the hopes of convincing Worksman Cycles to produce these BT frames/bicycles for anyone who'd like to build one & motorize it themselves.
If Worksman could do this it would allow those who don't weld the opportunity to build one for themselves in a somewhat less expensive route than going to a weld shop or paying $900.00 dollars for a rolling chassis from D.... Motor Bicycles or one of his completed bikes which are very nice but will set you back $1800.00 plus shipping from Washington State
It was my decision to allow & offer to a fellow member here in the forum the opportunity to handle negotiations directly with Worksman Cycles, and i have no regrets I wish him nothing but success.
Everyone please be patient it's still possible that Worksman Cycles may produce these bikes for sale from them directly.
I've been in contact with the original Worksman boardtrack racer builder in Washington State who was the first to modify a Worksman Industrial Newspaper Boy Cruiser for conversion to a tribute boardtrack racer. He's supplied me with all measurements and modifications to produce the Worksman modified Newspaper Boy Cruiser tribute boardtrack racer bicycle, which are presently being sold through D.... Motorized Bicycles.
In the mean time those of you who'd like to purchase a stock Worksman newspaper boy cruiser for modification, as I noted above a kind gentleman from Washington State who taught D.... how to modify these stock bikes has given me the correct measurements so you to can modify your Worksman.
Again till Worksman decides yay or nay to offer these bikes ready made for sale direct from them, you can still take your bike to a local professional weld shop for the modifications, or I could modify it for you.
Peace All
Crazy Horse aka Joe.
P.S. I'd like to ask all forum members that you have a right to your own opinions, but please do not bash our fellow member who is still working with worksman to build these frames to make this a reality, even though I'm now out of the Loop with this endeavor regarding any direct Worksman negotiations I'd like you all to show him the same support you've shown me, if I were in his shoes I know I would appreciate it!
