I think you should go with handle bars like a 1903 Californian had it would fit the style better Google it and take a look.............Curt

Maybe I'll build a board tracker, they looks very cool. I got this bike when I cleaned out an old store, it's an old Swedish Cresent. Maybe it is a good starting item for a board tracker

here in New England we've had the warmest winter I can ever remember or even my grandparents can remember. We've gotten snow but it melts the next day lol.

So that wrist pin bearing bearing has held up great I take it?! I have been running Morini's for quite a while now last couple years. I got old china scraps lying around between me and some friends and was going to help some buddies clean their motors up pretty soon.

I have not had any problems with the engine since I "re-built" it. It runs better and better, we'll see this summer if i get in the "50mph" club

One nice thing about snow that deep, it doesn't hurt when you crash into it. :D I'm in the same boat as LS, it'll snow a couple inches then melt the next day... and people complain about global warming, haha...

Your pic is my new Desktop pic. Pure awesomesauce.


Have a good/safe one.

50mph on a bike with no shocks and springs?

I do not want suspension(, it should look like a bicycle with a motor not like a moped! In addition, it becomes lighter without suspension = more speed. Can you drive an old Harley:) "almost without suspension" so there is no problem to go motor-cycle without. "50 mph" is top speed, that means I do not run so fast all the time. normal and the most comfortable speed is 15-20mph

Took a ride today in the snow, soon realized that my tires are not made for snow and ice! Became a spectacular crash, but no damaged or injured :) laff Anyone have more snow?
Hello friend good night, your bike is spectacular, especially the frame with gas tank, snow does not really help much, I do not know what that is in my country there is no snow, only a small amount in the area of my residence, 3 degrees when they are already dying of cold, Laff was the friend that made the frame? Have photos of the production?

Hello! Jose´ I'm glad you like my motorbicycle, Iam quite satisfied how it became, but as I've written before, so it probably will never be completely finished! The frame comes from an old M-Bike, it's a MT racing from 1986, the gas tank in the frame I made ​​from an exhaust pipe for automobiles, it is a 3 inch pipe, there is no high quality steel, but the diameter makes it strong yet . , The tank holds about 2liter gasoline. I have no more pictures than what's in my thread how I have manufactured ​​the gas tank / Regards max

I think you will like those! I had a spring seat post at one time. It was too thin walled and bent a little. Let us know how that post works out. It looks nice. That bike should feel very nice with those add ons!

I have now test mounted the front fork, also assemble a new Handlebar and an adjustable stem. Will also put on a larger muffler, it sounds way too much right now, like a motocross bike. Will also take it apart to paint it, the paint I was using could not stand the gasoline: (

At last the snow begins to disappear, and I can take the bike to run. Have done a little carburetor adjustment. Removed the choke to get as clear as possible for better airflow into the carburetor,and grind the intake in the carburetor for better flow

. It sounds really sharp, almost like a chain saw or a motocross bike.Jag feel very satisfied with the tuning of the engine, just wondering? how long it will last before it explodes :) :-||

It does sound like it has a LOT more power than my 'mighty 48', Max!

Do you have one of those spiffy infrared thermal probes?
Would be a good thing to have when doing stationary testing, methinks...

Can it be adjusted so the idle will come down?

I only have a "Pink Probe" and I use my ears and my experience on the 2-stroke engines when I adjust
Idle speed is high because of I do not choke!, I pull out the throttle cable a little when I started.

Heh heh, sounds like a caged animal Max! :)

What colour are you thinking of redoing her in? Ceramic engine enamels are gas/oil/heat resistant, multiple colour's to choose from too. Just a thought :)
