Hey 56f100,
Welcome to the site, some great folks on here.
I hope you all are making it ok w/ all the storm stuff going on.
There's a group of folks from Long Island that are on this forum also...I think they are also part of the Long Island Mini Bike Club...perhaps some folks you know..there was a bunch of Long Islander's at the windber minibike reunion..met Bubba and some of his friends.
Speaking of 50 and building mini bikes - i don't know our exact demographics, but i'd bet at least half of us are 50 or over ! (I turned 55 last week).
No matter the age though, a bunch of like minded, good folks on here !
So welcome to the fun, and you all stay safe.
