Hello from Bangs, Texas

[cwgreen]

I'm a newbe to this forum and a newby to motorized bikes but I'm not a newby myself. I'm 78 years old and I'm a bike and motorcycle nut. I have six motorcycles, a Goldwing trike, a 2 stroke cruiser motorized bike, two pedal type mountain bikes and I just purchased a Mongoose Dolomite 26" fat tire bike that I want to put a motor of some kind on.
Since I am new to this forum I hope to learn a lot from the members and meet a bounch of new bikers. Thanks for having mex.

CW here, sure would like to have any suggestions as to what engine to use, what shift kit (jack shaft kit). Did you have to do any refab or make any changes to the bike frame etc.? Any info or pics would be appreciated.
THANKS

Drag_bike, thanks for the pics. They will help me when I decide which engine I'm going to use. I've got a new 212cc Preditor but I think that might be an impossible task. Thanks again and I will probably be asking more questions.
