Well it seems I have put countless hours into the bike over the past weeks, yet if you look at it there probably doesn't look like much progress and I hate to say it, there is still heaps of work yet to do!
I must say that I am really enjoying building the bike but I sure wish I could just get it finished. My deadline is to have it done by the end of June when we leave to go back to NZ for a few months. I am very keen to do some of the NZ bike trails and there sure are some beauties.
Here are just a few of websites but there are some other really good websites -

Am rather keen to have a go at some of these with the new bike.
Just to explain the engine just clips in and out so in just a minute or two the engine can be taken out and put in your back pack. Ideal if you want to drive from home up to a mountain bike trail using the engine and then just unclip it and ride the trail like all the other mountain bikers. Note to self - mountain bikers just don't like people using engine on trails designed for bicycles.
Or the bike is ideal for boarder crossings. Yep it is very difficult to take a motorcycle through a boarder crossing as you just need lots of paper work but not for a bicycle. Just put the engine in your back pack and pedal your way through the crossing, once on the other side put you engine back in and you are away !!!
