Hi everyone, I recently decided to switch hobbies and while looking for old motorcycles on the web I found the picture of the board racer replica someone posted. I instantly fell in love with that bike and I think I'm going to give this hobby a try. First I need to know what engine to use and what pit falls to avoid. There looks like there's a ton of resources so I'm off to a good start. Anyone here from N.H or Me.? Does Anyone Know who built that bike? I look forward to getting to know you folks. Brian

wait, how the heck are we gonna know who built it if we can't see it? :)

Since my initial post I realized that there are many board track replica's. I don't think I'll be able to post a picture of the bike in question but crazy horse was the one that posted the picture of the bike I saw.It set against a log with clump of tall grass behind it. It was Grey with faux red patina areas sanded through and possibly a Grubee motor.
 
This is the bike.

Welcome! What part of Maine are you in? I'm in the middle of the Lakes Region in Naples.
 
Welcome to the forum. You can build a boardie without frame mods. Venice posted a nice one recently.
The true believers mod the frame and source an antique engine. One member used a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard v-twin. It looked antique after he removed the fan shroud and shaved the fins from the flywheel.
Check out the posts in the board track section before spending the cash.
 
I just picked up a pair of 1949 Schwinn springers with skip tooth chain sets tonight. I suspect they might be worth a bit more than I paid for them and I'm in no hurry to cut them up. I'm not having great luck navigation the site, I didn't even know they had a board track section. I'm just outside of Sanford,Maine
