Biker Build-Off

I was looking through the archives, and has it really been seven years since we had one? Time sure does fly.

Not much real activity on here anymore. Not like it used to be

They were always fun to follow.

Bummer for sure but it has simply died off .

I think the economy had a lot to do with it. Parts availability and fabricating skills deminished and I think the contest rules didn't reflect those situations. Putting a time limit on the contest made sense, but I think that time limit was what caused folks to sit back and watch instead of joining in. People arguing with the moderators caused a problem.

Not enough ingenuity these days either. Parts online are all the same.

I can’t find any pipe for the frames… Once I do I’m building a few bikes that will directly be like the others I built but with the temu bike size in mind. Frame just barley big enough to wrap around a 212cc engine.

I didn't pay much attention to the build off back when they were happening just too busy. In 2017 I retro fitted a Tec 10 HP to my 71 Rupp RR2 I had to cut and modify a lot of parts also made a billet side cover, I wish I would have entered that project in the build off.
