My new toy--every Hamber should have one--

Wow Cleatus-- that is awesome. Here is my newest bike. We built this one. 6.5 horse engine from Harbor Freight. Very fast yet well balanced and easy to ride. <center>

Yep, i want one!

 

Damn, I still like that bike the best out of everything I've seen.
Ok, so what is the lever coming off the centrifugal clutch/jackshaft?

 

That is a fake kick start pedal.

 

I saw this bike at Syracuse Nationals this summer. I thought you guys might enjoy the pics!

 

I have had a ton of fun this summer riding these bikes. Gonna take a couple of them to some indoor car shows this winter. They will be easy to transport and display. Great low budget fun.

 

awesome, just awesome

 

I'd love to see picture of somebody actually driving on one.. Moving, taking it around a corner, etc etc... Looks like furniture to me...

 

what are you using for the rear pullys and drive belts/chains,ect. We had picked up one of those harbor Freight engines but I have an old 1952 Briggs engine sitting in the garage that would be perfect on a bike like this. I also have an old bike with a front end that has springs. Old bikes can be picked up for next to nothing.
But really would like to know what you are using for the drive part of it,chains,gears ,pulleys,handle bar controls,tanks,ect Thanks jim

 

HA HA that's very funny. Ride like a motorcycle would have back in early 1900's. Take the corners just fine. One of these days I'll get my nephew to make a video of some of us riding just for you---

 

Chains, gears, pulleys, belts, and etc are all purchased locally at farm supply stores. Handle bar "twist grip" throttle controls can be purchased on ebay. Tanks can be homemade or old Clinton or Briggs cannister tanks work good.

 

My first post. OK it seems I have found another bunch of cool friends with the same interests. Motored Bikes and Old hotrod's on the same page who would have thunk it. LOL Thanks for having me. And WOW look at the bikes. Looks like fun, Dave

PS: My hotrod has been waiting to be finished for over thirty years. But my MB's are done and we have had many happy hours of fun. 29 Ford runnin a 25 Chev 4 speedster engine

 

I can believe you haven't sold those yet paul.. Ha Ha I tried to help you.

 

i built one when i was 13. it used a villiers lawn mower engine. i got the gearing wrong so it screamed while doing around half a mile an hour. no one helped me and i eventally gave up and sold the engine. ive been looking at building one for some time latly and this threads inspired me to get cracking.

 

I have a feeling you would know how to do it this time!

 

Welcome to the Hamb !!

 

Some friend you are !!!! Putting a for sale sign on my prized 1903 super rare Henway racer while my back was turned !!!

 

thats the coolest thing

 

How much for the Henway?

 

I was fortunate to get to ride one of pauls moto-bikes, it put the fear of
Allaha in me, but thanks for the thrilling adventure, I am sure i looked like a diddling rank amatuer

but in all actuality i used to run a nitro burning flat tracker[sans brakes] after i returned from Nam I was either dumb or stupid then or on the verge of PTSD....
then we got old and slow!!!

 

Hell, I thought you did pretty good on my bike. I was proud of you !

 

This is a cool set of plans from bygone days. It would be fun to replicate one today. the bikes listed here are on the same vein. Have fun Dave

*****in

 

Some of my bikes. The Schwinn and the green Whizzer are mine. I later added the head light. The green one will do 40 easy too fast, it has the Yamaha carb. I did some work on the Whizzer it does 50 now, again too fast. I have a bunch more, and am working on a B&S powered one. This stuff is addicting. Have fun, Dave

 

Quick question- I have a horizontal Briggs and know that I can't just use it vertically since the connecting rod has no splash cup BUT...

How hard would it be to get a vertical con rod or add a splash cup to the existing rod?
