Just rig up an axle strap the kyak down to the axle and get a piece of PVC pipe connected out from your seat post to tie the front end to and walah! Kinda like my old cheap trailer build setups: http://motorbicycling.com/showthread.php?t=11388
I bet it's great riding down there.Edit: No, I'm in San Marcos.
I know what you mean. Some jackass behind me, honked at me Saturday, and I don't think it was because he liked my bike.It is but your bike has to be able to cruise at least at 30. People drive fast and in the mornings are perfectly willing to push you off the road. Got forced over a curb one morning because of it.

I hear ya, I have been MB-less for about 3 weeks now? Found some hairline cracks in the Cranny, so took me a while to find a suitable replacement frame, then a week to strip the rust bucket frame down to the raw steel and get a front motor mount welded in, now waiting a week for the clear to cure. I should be good to mount the motor back up on Saturday, woohoo!Right now I'm having bike withdrawals. A connection in my magneto broke last week so the bike has been dead. I placed an order for parts yesterday, now I just have to wait.
First week in July I was taking my jon boat to the portion where I live thinking I was going to clean up the river. I have since pulled nearly 100 pounds of cans from 300 square feet of river bottom and literally wore out a can crusher and I'm only about halfway through.
I'm going to be needing a whole fleet of motorized bicycles pulling 6x10 trailers for the amount of traffic we get on the weekends. Tempting idea though.
Edit: No, I'm in San Marcos.
There's one bicycle shop near me that seems to have the same attitude. I have to resist the temptation to get nasty with the guy when I go in there, which isn't often.In other news, I finally got the bike running again. I rode it to a small bike shop because I need a new cable for the choke. It didn't go well. He started by saying, "You can't bring that in here but you can work on it outside." I said I understood, because of the fuel issue. He said it was because it wasn't a bicycle, I had given that up when I put the motor on it. He then proceeded to be as condescending as possible. Luckily he let me pick out which ratty, old, used shifter cable I wanted for free. Oh well, those tattoo covered twig people don't scare me, I've wrestled gar and catfish that were scarier, meaner, but just about as ugly.
I don't think it's the tattoos. When I ride to Strokers everyone loves my bike, and they all have tattoos.It was the university owned bike shop so no surprise. After making that post I got another negative comment about the bike. Apparently people with tattoos don't like it. LOL
Normally I leave out the part about it being motorized but since I rode up to the building with it being my means of transportation, I didn't have that option.
Ya oughta post the bike shop's phone number. The one near Whiterock Lake is one of the worse. They had an attitude with me but still sold me whatever I asked for but I had to pull information outta them to get what I wanted. Funny the name is Richardson but located in Dallas.

The shop up in Richardson is way cool! He said he pretty much trained most of the bike mechanics at the Whiterock shop...they learn the trade from him & then go to the snob shop. www.thebikeshoprichardson.com/ 2111 East Arapaho Road Richardson, TX 75081

The most professional bike shop I've been to is REI. They treat me pretty good there, and they all know I'm riding a motor bicycle.
The Bicycle Exchange in Carrollton is motor bicycle friendly.
The irony of that fact is hilarious, considering the vast majority of MBs exceed their Priuses (Prii?) in gas mileage.Surprisingly I take more heat from the the liberal, "save the world" types than I do anyone else.
