    What a good night here on the Plains! My pal Mark (wingnutz) from WI showed up after work tonight and brought two of the three board track motorized bikes I had bought recently with him in his car. So after eating some dinner we unloaded the bikes for some play time before it got dark. <center>

  3. Mark's a good guy, I am a little surprised he didnt try to ride one up.... I guess he would need a ride home though.

    Those look like fun. And a good way to lose a gonad.

    I let Mark ride my black bike. I've had this one home for over a month now. I ride it almost every day or night.<center>

    Still have one bike left in WI at Bobwop's place. I would like to thank him for buying all of these for me and helping me in many ways. I couldn't ask for a better friend than him.

    I don't know any details I just bought them for fun. The cream colored one supposedly goes 50 MPH and the black one goes 45. Don't know about the maroon one yet.

    maroon bike is geared more for quickness than speed. Much to my liking. Doesn't have that "fancy pants" look. Much to my liking.

    I would prefer blackwalls and poverty hubcaps

    Those things are really cool. I'm not sure I would try to get 'em up to 50 though.

    Yes, they are not that old. The white or beige colored one is mostly custom built and has alot of neat details. It really has the look and feel of an antique motorcycle.

    Just a thought here...
    A step by step "how to" of how to build one of those would probably win the next tech challenge here on the HAMB :D

    Ha ha! My bike doesn't even know who I am. I have 40's Columbia Bicycle that I bought from the original owner (true story). It's hanging in The Push Bar now and I was thinking.....

    Pir8Darryl is right, we need a tech or you need to start marketing them. That looks like too much fun and I know my boy would like it!

    Well someone else will have to do it. I sure can't take any credit or claim any knowledge here. I sure know how to ride though.

    Well Russ, since you are one of my coolest friends I will keep them around for you to play on too. Lots of low budget fun which in today's economy is a good value.

    No Mark----YOU have got it made and yes I will bring them to the event in the back of an old pickup truck and then let the games begin. You can ride too. They will really be good to have at the drags on friday night.
