hello from Memphis

Great site gents. I'm 40 years old and have been on a bike for 34 of those years. I always wanted to motorize a bike. But I did not want to go at it blind. This site will help a dream come true. I'm going to read and search for a while before I decide on anything. If you know any must read threads please point me toward them. Thanks again for the great site.

Howdy GoldMatch, welcome. Can't really suggest a must read over another but the picture section is a great place to see what manner of engine and style of MB you would enjoy.

Welcome to the site.
Just start with what kind of ride you want, there are so many it helps to know what you lean towards to start with, like a Beach Cruiser or a low rider chopper, etc.

If you have a bike now you want to motorize then upload some pics and specs!

You will find there are many people here willing to help with GOOD advice if they know what the bike and kit are ;-}
