Purty perfect, SG.
Will the rack need to be reinforced?
Really like the idea of having a big old 4 smoke but really don't enjoy wide or short peddling with inframe mounted.
I had been thinking about a set up with a belt drive and a suicide type shifter to engage. So instant bike/MB sorta deal.
But looking forward to seeing ya get her done.
Where did you get a 3 horse Briggs?
Offer up! the guy wanted 20 for it he happened to be in my local area.
Claims its been sitting in his garage and was a motor an old roommate left.
So when he brought it didn't have no oil I put 1 dollar gas in it and found that out later...
Good thing the carb was all gummed up and flooded really badly in the filter neck.
So I eshed him down to $15.00 after that, it sat for a few days so only had to do some carb work, spray choke cleaner with the carb dismounted from the intake only.
It's a steal deal....
The rack mount thing sounded better because if it throws a rod I'd rather it get thrown across the street at another vehicle vs throw at my crotch.
The rack is pretty strong has a tiny bit of play on it but only racks left that are stronger then that are the 1950s and 60s built in Schwinn beach cruisers.
Electra USA built these bikes starting in 93 when there was a lack of cruisers on the market it's actually a german made bicycle manufactured in Taiwan after 2003.
Electra was built between two Germans who took and made their first bike with a 30k savings, they got laughed at by bike shops until one day they started selling and it's been history ever since.
The misses think its homeless junk I told her THAT BIKES UNTAMPERED WITH "Electra Amsterdam."
Has the original poisonous green color.
She fails to realize as a mechanic who has been serving king county for the past 4 years in business "I owe my self the RESPECT to put myself back on a driving vehicle."
I let her have her 4 vehicles but I won't continue to keep stressing my back carrying my huge sack of loaded tools.
Everytime I want a vehicle it's a problem so I'll just jump through her loop hold not going to keep me walking with that oversized sack of tools my left leg tweaks out from lifting too much, have a slight pinch underlies.
I feel her auto mobiles are more junk them my bikes have ever been the difference between me and her is that I won't ride the car like a dog and not fix what needs to be fixed.
Which is why I'd never let her drive anything I got....
Reckless women "tsh tragic" no offense to her but she don't even walk to the store so bump her and her thoughts about my bike lol if I drop 16HP one day I'm gone whoop you and that bucket out the box hahaha.
