Pat.........
I don't have a shop that I can pump out a bike every 3 days, I don't have employee's working for me building bikes, family or other wise and even though Dan at Taylar Motor Bikes is a close friend I build my own bikes after he has fabricated the necessary components that I neither have tools or equipment to make myself, so if it takes a year? it takes a year! which the Indian didn't.
I don't pump out Huffy's with un-known E-bay engine kits, I believe you said to me "A good bike ain't cheap and a Cheap bike ain't good!" when I was inquiring about the Sportsman Flyer (#3) that I then purchased from you.
I believe a good amount of time also contributes to a quality build, time is also a contributing factor when hunting down and fabricating quality parts as I'm sure you are all too aware of and how long did it take you to get #3 to me? 7 months according to my reciepts. I was through with the Redskin in a shorter time frame then it took to get that bike from you which is still sitting in the corner waiting for those quality parts and time to be found to build a better than excellent bike.
What makes you think the bike doesn't run? because there is no vid of me setting records on the salts, that bike is for sale not for me to ride, if you want to see dirty tires buy it! I bought one from you, I guarantee you that custom built PK80 is the best little chinee engine you'll ever roll on.
What's wrong with posting pic's of vintage bikes ? it's called inspiration isn't that part of this forum's purpose ? to share interest and inspiration in recreating a piece of history or even creating something new and different.
No! offense Pat but if you really don't want to fallow my thread then don't! I bare No! ill feelings towards you,what I really don't get is why ? am I the only one yer crack'n on about the time it takes to build a bike or what I'm Posting.
You build some awesome stuff Pat so does your Brother, you got all the goodies to crank out a part in 5 minutes where as it takes me about a day and remember yer one of the big dogs in the M/B World, I'm just a little dog looking up to everyone else why? do you feel so threatened.
Peace! to ya Bro.
