bill from durango says hi

[unclebill]

hello everyone.
about 5 years ago i bought a 1903 felt and always thought it was perfect for a motor.
just now i was looking around on line and found this site.
you guys seem pretty friendly and plenty knowledgeable.
so here i am!
i am looking at the ridley engine.
i am a scrawny 140 lb. old fart
so i don't need lotsa power.
and i love the looks of the engine.
i will just use this for puttering around my small town and the county road i live on.
anyway
thanks for having me.
bill

last year i restored a 1963 kaiser/Willy's cj5 jeep
and i am just finishing up a 1927 Chevy pickup hotrod.
so i guess i need something to tinker with over the winter.
(i am a bachelor so i will do it in the living room..)

Welcome to the forum Bill, glad you could join us! Durango is a neat town with beautiful scenery and world class cyclists, I hope they don't mind motorized bikes there......they shouldn't as some of the locals also enjoy moto-cross.

Have fun with your build and feel free to ask questions as you will find your answers here on the forum.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum, Bill. There are a few of us Colorado based old guys who happen to like hot rods and motorized bicycles. You're in good company.

Nice Pick-Up.....don't ferget to put a sticker on it that says "Powered By FORD", it would be appropriate
