Goose, I have only put rings, bearings etc. Mainly just maintenance. If I had a fast bike when I was in my 20's I would be dead by now. I rode with "THROTTLE WIDE OPEN ." Like a lot of dumb know it all kids.

I understand perfectly. Thank goodness I was a poor in my twenties (and now haha) or else I would have been wrapped around a pole somewhere.

Building a bike would be a real challenge. Might be fun to try a custom made bike along the lines of a S-40 Suzuki. Basically a big GZ. Keep it simple and you have less moving parts.

Right now I'm committed to finishing the old GMC and that takes all my spare money. I could not afford to build a pedal unicycle. Hahahaha.

I found this little GZ for my son to learn on. I think it is the perfect size for that. He finished the safety course a week ago Sunday and got his motorcycle license last Wednesday. He is going good on it, and is using a helmet and wears a green/yellow shirt. Cars can see those construction shirts a mile away. Leaving the headlight on does very little to make you visible. I have noticed a lot of bikers in this area (Quad-Cities, IA/IL) wearing them. Just makes sense to be seen instead of laid out.
