That would be cool, even though I should be in FL this summer, if plans work out, but we will be doing Disney..... A 99 mile ride you might not even have to fill up till you get home.....too bad my truck can't do that while pulling the pod!
 
I'm pretty sure mine is a walmart schwinn, but when it's free who's complaining.....

A steel framed bike is best.  The China made bikes at Wal-Mart tend to break at the welds.

Ok now you have done it!!!!!!!!!



Give me a site to go out and look at and the next thing I know I'm researching PA Motor Laws to see if I could ride one around up here.  Sure has to be safer than the Bar Stool I had. (Got rid of it before we got hurt on it or we got ticketed)  I think I will be building one.  Looking for a nice Beach Cruiser on Craigslist.

I have 2 big reasons for having the bike:

1.  Gas Mileage
2.  I can't bend my knees far enough to pedal a bike anymore.

I always enjoyed riding a bike in the past.  That was before Vietnam fixed it so I can't!LOL

Thanks, the pic is after much use.... not sure how an orange got in the spokes! hahaha. I have poked around on the forum you mention, but am no member. When I put the bike together I was more concerned with function rather than form, The bike is a Miller High Life sponsored bike that I won from a bar, and the engine is just a cheap one from ebay.

I'm pretty sure my daughter likes the bike more than me...... she never wants to get off, but now she is getting a little big for the seat in the pic, I need to upgrade. We do enjoy the cruise.

that is some kind of nice, I put one together and it does not look half as nice as yours. My brother clocked it at 38MPH with an iphone and he weighs in at 270lbs. I roughly estimated mine to get 70-80 mpg. When mine gets goin its pretty scary, bicycles just ain't made to go that fast, it feels like it is falling apart. And I saw your seat and am jealous....... It is very much needed for the ride.  I also took the baffle out of the muffler...... louder but faster, I started with just drilling holes in the baffle, then removed it completly. wanted to put a pic of mine.....but cannot.....
I really like your dual  chain tensioner setup.... really, I like your whole bike... nice job

The weird seat has to go though!  The seat was in bad shape so I went looking for a cover.  That sheep skin cover was the only one that fit.  But, it is butt ugly!

I haven't had it out yet and we are supposed to have rain the next 2 days.  It should top out at 40 or 45 and get around 100MPG.  I usually cruise about 25 to 30.  The Jeep gets about 14 so guess which one is going to be setting a LOT!

I finally finished my bike.  It is a 2002 Dyno Roadster, a stretched cruiser with a 2HP 2 stroke motor.  The red paint has metal flake in it.  It has a 12v battery, turn signals, tail lights and a 55 watt off road light for a head light.  It is a total of 7 1/2 feet long and real low to the ground.
