New Bike

[PnLucas]

I am an avid cyclist, havent driven a car in 6 years. 30 mile round trip to work each day. i love the exercise, but...... gr its winter again.
I just finished installing a 80cc motor on a beach cruiser bike. was a pain but its running.
I joined this site to find out more about motor bikes now that i have one.

Hey Ok you made a pick-up bike. I like function. I made sadle bags that can haul two full bags groceries if I want, plus my basic tools and gear. Happy bikeing.

lol yeah a pick up. i had the back on my mountian bike and just converted it over to the motor bike. i thought about doing saddle bags but i didnt want to lose any of the balance with an off center load.

Yeh buying one gallon of milk, I move my tools to the other side. But the ability to carry stuf makes these bikes pay for them selves going to the local store and back, Also make me want to go to the store and back

I put 15 lbs of alpo in my backpack, 15 more on the rear rack of my Point Beach. No problem. Had to out run the strays tho.

I have trouble with dogs disliking the sound of my bike or maybe just me already, out run a loose guard dog the other day, but just.

 

[PnLucas]

im new to this but i have noticed dogs go crazy when i go by.

The dog thing, oh man. I think we look and sound like wounded deer to them.
On the other forum there is a great bear V. MB story. Truly scary until the end.
