My Machine

Sounds like you're doing something you love.
Always good.
Don't sweat the quality of the pics. Just get them posted.
Text only is meeping boring. Especially on something technical like this.

Solve the bug problem by never smiling.

Upload your pics full size and post them with the thumbnail code. That way we can click on them for closeup goodness. Also, bugs are
good for you. I used to have a cat that almost lived off of them.

I'm Excited! I love those little wizbangers.

I have the pics ready, and its still too big, so I'll convert the sizes to something more swarm friendly, because I'm too meep tired to do it right now.
I was hoping to get a better seat on it,
I got my fast rubber today, and it was part of the problem for real.
Also, I find that after several short rides, it is breaking in nicely, and I'm going to try to take it out for a 20 miler tomorrow.It keeps smoothing out as it breaks in, and the idle seems to smoothly climb now, and I can get like 25 to 30 on it.It is beating the meep out of me to ride it too.Pedal assist means I have to pedal to get it started.Me plus the bike have a combined weight of like 325 I bet.
Pics tomorrow.

Clickythumb test.

his is the original design with old seat and bars, neither worked out,........

Fitting this wasn't as hard as I thought.

I thought I was close to done here,.........I broke the seat carrying the bike out of my basement.It wasn't a good handle, pulled the rivet out of the sheet metal, which I didn't discover till test ride time.

Ladies and Gents, I proudly present my Sopwith Camel.Mark 1.
Bleeds fuel/air from the carb.Working on that.........
Goes like 25.
I'll continue to post as she grows.
I like bugs in my teeth.

I'm thinkin' old timey10 speed with the narrow 60psi hiway tires. Couple of questions. What about braking, Is there a clutch that disengages when you hit the binders or what? Also, how much throttle control do you have? Most 2 strokes pretty much have two throttle settings, off and on.

The throttle is a standard motorcycle style one, had to drill a hole in the bars to fit it.It gives fine control up to the redline/governor/float/needle and seat problem.
There is a locking clutch handle inboard of my front brake handle.It really works nicely.You have to release it manually like a MC. That gives me the ability to completely annoy MC riders , 10 speeders and motorists.
One thing is for sure, nobody ignores it.Everyone stops and either laughs, smiles, or hates it.
A lot of guys have queried me about the kits.
Anyone know of a a good 2 stroker high altitude carb guide?

OH. MY. GOD.
I applaud you sir, on being so incredibly secure in your masculinity.

That looks fun as meep, BTW.

With fuel prices at $1.54 per litre this seems like a viable transport option.

It was meant to be cheap fun.It is clearly the best 200 clams I ever shelled out.
As for the masculinity thing,I look like I should be riding something bigger.
Its the Harley riders that have been loving this thing.They want to hate it, yet I don't need to register or insure it, so WHO IS FREE OF THE MAN now,man? Freedom comes at a 25 mph or so price.
I was tinkering with it at the dispensary, and I put a lame old biker on it and push started his meep.
He said if his legs worked, he'd buy one.The other biker laughed hysterically until he realized he could get 140 mpg, said his old lady needed one and wanted the website to look himself.....Its Audis,old ladies,and the 10 speeders that hate me.
They can suck blue smoke.My carbon footprint just got even insanely lower than it was before.
When the carb is tuned, I'll post self effacing video of the Camel,cruising slowly,low altitude,.........
I've run it a lot of miles on not so much gas.
I am having a serious carb problem, likely from the rough handling during shipping.That said, I think a new one is like 15 bucks, so,......I have some theory to go research about it. Cheers.

So there are two things in the saga of the gasbike. Jrock, my neighbor (not real name)
bought a gasbike kit. He then painted his meeping frame gloss black, and his meep looks tooo much like mine. So I need a new color. Haze Gray? Doo Doo army brown? Cream? I also will be mounting it on a different frame now I think, an old seventies Huffy Sport Cruiser. That meep would look good in any color. ........

Primer red

Red is my one bad luck color.

Needs one of those chopper bicycle kit frames, small back wheel and a bigass front wheel sittin way out there.

Lets see what is sitting around here,.........

My neighbor across the stree has one we are doing for his kid soon , its an OCC. chopper. I'm pretty stoked about it.

put a baseball card in the spokes.

Ching-ching bell and tassels on the handlebars FTW.

When I make the video presentation, I shall, good chaps. I need the bell and tassels for my nieces trike after that.........

Banana seat, sissy bars and a basket...
