I keep getting e-mails and private messages from people scolding me for encouraging other members who post ideas for projects that some people have deemed...'unsafe'...'obviously too difficult'...'tried it already/didn't work'...'not what the person needs, even though they say it's what they want'...etc.
I'm not a moderate person...if you tell me you want to build a turbo drag bike for your three year-old...fine, go for it, man...can't wait to see the photos. I'm not going to tell you that you might not be able to build that kind of bike, and I have no idea if your kid can ride it or not...it's not for me to say...
I'm just here to learn from your experiences.
I also get some flak for encouraging people to try engine mods that some people think also fall into the above categories, and I've been called a hypocrite, because I don't post my own engine modifications.
Personally, I don't want to share them here...
Since the early seventies, I've been hanging out with other guys from Cushman, and if you were ever interested in quarter-midget racing, you've seen some of the modifications done to those engines...
I'm here because I like to make functional minibikes and parts from scrap and junk...not to discuss engine mods, although I enjoy reading your ideas on the subject.
I'll probably never say something can't or shouldn't be done...I honestly believe anyone can probably do almost anything if they try...and a lot can be learned from failure... like trying again, without giving up.
If we didn't try new and difficult things that might not work, we'd never end up with things like this...
