Territory Manager for a Worldwide Chemical Company and Team BoXer's R&D test rider/racer.
I forgot to add:
One Motorized Bike: a GT LTS(soon to be replaced) with a 5.8 Morini motor and a 56 tooth Kings sprocket. It only hits 35mph but has enough kick to climb some very steep mountain bike trails. With the 47 tooth sprocket it hits mid fortys.

Me, 47 MWM. I am a Safety Manager for the Dept. of Justice at a Federal Prison. I have 4 bikes, 1Yamaha 1100 V-Star. I ride the bikes more than the v-star lately. I parked my latest bike next to a $46,000 Harley at Sturgis South motorcycle rally 3 weeks ago and people ganged up around the bicycle taking pic's of it instead of the Harley. I thought that was awesome!!!
Male 44, retired from the U.S. Merchant Marine. Own a currier service and am a student at Hartford county fire fighting academy. I own 2 Happy times and I have lost count of how many bikes. (I buy odd and antic ones and the baby's Momma wants to keep them)
I am working on several prototypes of kits and hope to have a line of MB kit options ready for market by spring. I am also working on a hybrid wheeled air-boat for ice rescue, shallow water fire fighting and flood patrol. Carol and I just celebrated our 20Th, Well I celebrated. She, not so much. snork

Live on the Ohio River in a beautiful yet isolated area.
I lurk and post here and on a few other boards to research and lean so I can better create a motorized bike that will serve my needs and possibly others will see it's benefits & function.
See, "Evolution of a thought" in Tavern
I have a converted 10 speed 27" bike that's now an upright 5 speed touring bike with a Tanaka (Sears Free Spirit) front mounted friction drive 2 cycle motor.

2 personal motored bikes (used to be three, but one got killed and it's organs donated)
motored biking has been a wonderful experience.
true, as we all can attest, it can frustrating

and we've saved a whole lot of money, by me riding the bikes instead of wearing out the car.
