My old man sent me a link to this cool looking motorized bicycle kit. It looks kind of like the original Harley if you know what that looked like. So naturally, I bought it and then ran out and bought a Beach Cruiser to mount it on. Kit says it goes together in about 2 hours.
Bill says it goes together in about 2 days.
Kit says basic tools are all that's needed.
Bill says; please define basic tools?
Kit says it comes with everything you need.
Bill says, ha.
To make a long story short; I successfully built the damn thing and it looks every bit as cool as in the picture.
It actually works pretty damn good too! After put-putting around through its break-in period I opened it up and headed for the beach. She cruises at about 40 mph, which, believe me, is plenty fast enough for the Beach Cruiser Frame. Word to the wise; ladies, this could replace every secret toy you own. :wink:
Now here's the dilemma; I live in a condo and I really don't have anyplace to put it. Right now I have a smelly bike sitting in my foyer, and though it leaks no gas, the smell is inescapable. And even if I store it on the balcony, it is only a matter of time before some miserable old bag catches me with it in the elevator and has a fit. What the hell was I thinking?
This is the building if you're curious:
