Yeah you can ride all year around...like 2door said im gonna take my time and i love to do research...i have plenty of time and good access to professional two strokes engines,i have one that really deserve consideration...is shindaiwa 24cc that runs like a champ..is a little reliable engine and i wil be ok if i can make 20mph of it beacause my travels are really short 600 Miles per month but my truck is a gas guzler,so the bike conversion is a good goal for me.
