Hello Everyone,
Here is the bike I use to Race at the SoCal Motorized Bicycle Races. I usually keep the low bars and layback seat and just add a headlight, taillight, and license to ride it around on the streets.
The next race is not until October, so I decided to go back to a cruiser set up for a while. Its a lot different riding experience, the front end is a little more squirelly compared to riding with a lot more weight on the front end with the low slung bars. It makes you go a little slower, which is good for me. I kept wanting to see if I could hit 50mph with the aerodynamic riding stance.
Having fun tooling around on an old timey looking motorized bike. Also looking forward to mounting a freshly refurbished hand operated klaxon horn on the crossbar soon.
Here's a few pics, 4 after and 1 before.
