I guess the purpose of such an introduction is to explain a little about who you are why you are here. Given this, my user name for this site is Dr. D and my purpose for being here is to learn as much as I can about motorized bicycles with the idea firmly entrenched to build a Morini powered unit to cruise back and forth to the campus where I shovel salt for a living. So if anyone has any experience in such a project and would care to give advice and instruction, I would be delighted to learn.... My mechanical IQ is ok for such a project as I have a good deal of experience in working on unusual machinery (we have two LandRovers - a '66 Series IIA and a '74 Series III).
