Where I usually park my bike, I found a cool little surprise. A nice and tidy little healing 18 speed MTB with a motor fitted into it very neatly!!

I was amazed. I even left a little note saying "I love your work mate!"

If only I was allowed to wheelie it. Oh the amount of fun that'd be...

Pretty darn cool! It looks like it could very easily be turned into a "kit bike" type thing. Buy the kit with instructions, and add it to your pushbike.

I like the Buell style exhaust:scooter:

Now that is seriously kewl! Looks like a pretty spiffy set up and well constructed. I can imagine the :gob: looks from cagers when they glance across at that contraption!

Nice one!

One of these keeps turning up at bike rallies down here. I've seen it at Winchester, March Hare and Brass Monkey. The guy riding it was saying at one of the rallies that you can buy the parts off trademe to convert any MTB. I just had a look and couldn't find what he was talking about, but did find this ... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Sports/Cycling/Road-bikes/auction-68768762.htm

Cool. It's like the old bikes from way back.

I'll have to keep an eye out for it, I haven't seen it before.

Hard case, that's kind of like a time machine back to the first bikes. However, is it just me or is it a bit silly having the exhaust from a 2-smoke pointing at the contact patch for your rear wheel?

Go to petrol vehicles, bicycle motor kit, then either the engine kit of the bicycle with engine fitted. These guys had a shop in town (now they have moved to an industrial area for some silly reason). They have some really cool stuff. They had one of these bicycles running outside the old shop one day, it sounded kinda neat

I'd get one and convert it to run on top fuel :sunny:
