I've ridden the Dallas Dart rail to downtown several times, but today I decided to ride up to Denton Texas on the DCTA train. I wonder how much sh#t I could start if I posted this picture in the main forum LOL

That's probably a reflection of less overall traffic on the forum. That's just a guess, but generally speaking all forums are losing out to Facebook groups, and I wouldn't expect an odd ball forum like a gas powered motor bicycle forum to be any different.
 
I bus my pedal bike up the hills like a chair lift and ride down the hill... I go everywhere as it's my only transportation... I have plenty of parts to motorize any number of frames but I'm still getting my place together to do it up right... It's a ghost town on the forum but I still post mods on the upgrades I've come up with... There was a lot of people banned years ago just as motorized bicycles were just talking off I had a few posts of my bikes I was building on here that have disappeared... This could have been popular if it was played differently... Most of the vendors are gone also that were decent... Facebook doesn't ban you for no reason and erase your posts wasting your time so that might have something to do with it

When I first entered the train with my bike there was conductor standing right inside the door. He looked at my bike, and ask if it ran on gasoline. I said no, it's electric. After that he had no problem with my bike being there.

Just tell them it’s an ebike built to look like a gasser. People can’t tell the difference anyway. Half the time they walk up to me and ask if it’s gas or electric, sometimes I ask them did ya look at it??

That’s the funny part about it right? Ebikes are the ones you keep outside away from your expensive house and car. It’s all backwards these days.

The weight on the rack bouncing would have me nervous... And my Electra just fits being almost to long... Fat tires won't fit the rack... If there ever was fire on the train from one of those...
