Well, The Re-Cycle made its first public appearance today. We were holding a mini track meet at a local motorcycle shop that allows us to use its rear parking lot. EVERYBODY thought the bike was really cool, and couldn't believe that it was al made from tire irons and scrap metal! After a leaky carburetor was changed out and the idle adjusted, the bike fired every time after three hard pulls. It wound up being used as a mini-pitbike to run from one end of the track to the other, and performed flawlessly each and every time. I have to say I'm VERY happy with its performance, and glad i took the time to take on this challenge. I still need to work out a bug or two, like a proper killswitch, maybe grind a couple of welds down smoother, but it runs!!!
One of the guys on another forum is trying to talk me into putting a mini-sidecar on it. Maybe, but that may be a project for the next Re-Cycle .... This one still needs to be stripped back down and painted, most likely FFB (Flat Effin' Black) primer, the only color to put on something like this ...
