As a guy who has done and continue building "stuff", this is awesome. Nice to see a few young people actually building stuff and not afraid to try, or get their hands dirty. Well done!

[@hellohun7331]

As an older fabricator, it pleases me to see younger guys having an interest in in such a project. The rest are still staring at their devices running into light poles. If this is your first, you will have many to follow. Many nights will be spent laying awake thinking about how.

[@JakeSanMartin]

Thank you ! We will definitely have more builds.

[@shane_7even_ten569]

I like that they used the old school sand and heat to bend the tubing, no one but us old guys even know that technique anymore.

[@lutzvonpeter9170]

Shawn Ireland Excuse me? What other method is there to bend a tube without kinking???

[@oiltoast3723]

Wow so what did you watch this on a chalk board.

[@victoryfirst2878]

Being an motorhead at birth, I can say with a great degree of certainty that you guys are going the right direction. I am planning to make a bike from scratch starting this winter. Am a tool and die maker by trade. Can make anything from start to finish. When done I will show you what an old man can do. Keep on making stuff fellas too. Good day and peace also.

[@bassjumpblues3631]

My great nephew is following in my footsteps in metal and everything I know is a pleasure to fill him in. Great Job Fellas!

[@davidgeorgea]

Beautiful l am old school myself . Apprenticeship was sheet metal and coppersmith trained 7 years . Moved over to maintenance engineering. I just loved making things . So much today is mass produced . So l was excited to watch the project from pipe to paint job . A great way to inspire the young and creative .10 out of 10 from me

[@berylmurray1009]

Having built bikes as well I give this a 10/10 for cosmetics props to the students with skills. Well done!

[@steelwheels327]

Absolutely amazing!!! Nice to see they actually have colleges now to support people where their interest are in something hands on vs being stuck in behind a computer

[@the.j.b.5782]

AMEN

[@rdc327]

That, my friends, is a work of art! Well done!!

[@dougdillard9006]

OMG... That is so great. Thank you so much for sharing all of your talent.

[@nattydreadlocks1973]

Holly crap! How have you guys not gone "viral"? Just send this video along with your resume and you will get any engineering related job that you want.

[@mikeydizme1]

True craftsmanship and art. Congratulations. Incredible!

[@route6295]

Tolle Arbeit. Auch klasse gefilmt. Erklärt sich alles von selbst. Thank you, guys

[@jake226m]

[@dougharvey9766]

Amazing effort guys well done, you should be very proud : )

[@69JANKS]

Cool Build 👍...... wow that's 57hr weeks invested over 7months. That's Dedication👌

[@steveturpin4242]

Brilliant! Thanks for this. Excellent result!

[@phasetwentyeight]

Well done. Appreciate the tools you have access to!

[@kalleklp7291]

As a blacksmith and machinist myself, I'd like to congratulate you to this amazing project..! Very well done and with an eye for the detail. Well, I'd TIG weld all parts on it if it was my build. However, that shouldn't sound like critique and doesn't make this build any less facinating.

[@jamesmcgrath1952]

Wow, that is a work of art and what a skill set. Just incredible.

[@mikemoore9757]

Bravo to you guys. That is a beautiful racer!

[@OcotilloTom]

Great job. The engine looks like the ones on my old 1949 and 50's Cushman motor scooters. I put many a mile on them.

[@williamlott7612]

And here I thought the youth of today only knew how to use their thumbs...beautiful job, congratulations. Darlington, South Carolina

[@MartrildonnoDesigns]

I salute the young guns of America and there creative mind's, long live the talented youth !!

[@orugasmongi2813]

Great job, congratulations, regards from Argentina.

[@mchristr]

What an education you must have gotten building this functional piece of art. Well done!

[@samtellier7441]

dud so right

[@anton.j.]

Nice bike, and inspiring video!

[@bigmacboy876]

Im am dumb founded by your craftsman ship and quality. You are a real master engineer keep building!

[@steveturpin4242]

Brilliant! Thanks guys...now I'm going to build one. Cheers!

[@kilogram064]

I had an old bicycle when I was a youngster and if I remember it correctly, it had a frame that looked a lot like an old board track racer that had somehow managed to be rehabbed back into a bicycle. I wish that I still had it. It would have made a pretty decent racer wide tires heavier, than average frame construction, spokes that would have been at home in motorcycle wheels and at one time it had a springer front end.

[@robertatwood2503]

Say this is Ben coming up in my recommended for a while now I said you know what I'm going to watch it I am glad I did y'all had did a fantastic job on that

Inspiring thanks for such an interesting video. I'm putting together one of those motorized bicycle kits now, nothing like your amazing efforts, but it is neat to see what is possible with many hours of work and dedication. Too bad you couldn't build one for each of you!

[@streetglide40sw30]

Very Talented young men , that is a work of beauty all of you should be very proud of yourself . Harley and Indian would have loved having you young men on the team back then.

[@billlowe6883]

Well done, thanks for posting. 👍

[@magna59]

Lovely piece of work .

[@stevendiaz6391]

[@boeingman345]

Thank you very much! The Automotive Restoration program worked with us and our vision to bring this project to life...very grateful to them for taking that chance with us.

[@edtuller2537]

Well done guy's look's GREAT !!!

[@stelleratorsuprise8185]

Well done, cool project I hope they had fun building this. Making the tank out of copper is a good idea even if I don't understand why they put in these rivets.

[@classicsrule8651]

just terrific. hand built. looks period correct.

[@davldbigman6034]

That is a work of art,nice job!

[@JakeSanMartin]

Thank you!

[@justinbelshe]

Good, clean work!

[@Jackofallthetrades]

Makes me proud to be a fellow Mac grad! Well done, gentlemen! Any video of you guys riding this beauty?

[@boeingman345]

Unfortunately no videos of us riding it, although it runs. We did not want to attempt a run since it may be going to some events soon. Great to hear from a fellow graduate!

[@monkeyjuju7441]

Adam Mashiach that's a shame

[@ezajunior3267]

This is a masterpiece 😍😍

[@chopperdavez]

Kudos to the instructors and youths of McPherson

[@chopperdavez]

Boardtrack Tribute Society group on FBook is looking for mentors and members like y'all

[@chrisb7613]

Really cool looking machine!

[@hectorcarmona3091]

nice,great,thanks for the video

[@YZEDR500]

Excellent work! Love the copper fuel tank.

[@antman5474]

I like it, wouldn't look out of place on the chitty chitty bang bang set.

[@magidchellit6966]

magnifique moto comme a l'époque on voie le moindre petit détail moteur qui tourne comme une montre suisse trais bon travaille vérry vérry good job thanks for the super video

[@loridurcholz8182]

this board track racer has been built to perfection! I like it a lot! But I have one question, what was the type of engine that they used to build it and where did they find it?

[@RushBuzzing]

Most excellent, kudos.

[@JohnDoe-ir2ft]

Good job! Now take it to the track and have some fun.

[@lellorosano3401]

Bravi ragazzi avete realizzato ragazzi un progetto meraviglioso sin nei dettagli. ancora complimenti.

[@tomascharles5080]

Wow that is one beautiful looking bike.good job guy's.

[@TheTorkerman]

She's lovely!! Well done, so glad you didn't fit a cheesy Chinese engine like so many others have done, thats a classy build!!!

[@monkeyjuju7441]

TheTorkerman-Adam on the other hand I can ride my bike with a cheesy Chinese engine daily, this bike probably still hasn't bid ridden :/ I'll take my rideable Taiwanese/Chinese bike over a pretty piece of American art any day. But that's just me.

[@nikkarter2454]

nice work! what model of all-white tires is used?

[@themullystacheshow3610]

Good work guys. What engine is that?

[@angelsone-five7912]

I don`t impress easily but this did it, awesome!

[@JoeSmith-zg7in]

this bike is a work of art.this Is very insperational.good job.

[@ademardesantana9472]

Parabéns!! vcs são os melhores que já vi!!!.

[@twocanplayatthat]

Incredible! You should be really proud of yourselves. Nice work. Love that red colour that went on prior to final paint! Any idea what that red was? or was it a mix you guys made? Almost looks like an Indian motorcycle red ?

[@boeingman345]

Thank you for the comment! So, we originally debated between the dark blue we mixed and an Indian red. However, the red you see in the video is simply DP74LF Red Oxide Epoxy Primer (PPG system) which is the basis for paint work. On top of that, the K36 High build primer is laid out and then some sealer and finally topcoat (with the various sanding stages in between).

[@rching5039]

Totally awesome this is truly building a bike. No bolt on mods here

[@robhabraken8064]

Yes it is great to see young people building bikes or what ever

[@mtroy0620]

Very nice a worthy effort and you did it proud.

[@boeingman345]

Thanks very much, we are certainly proud of it.

[@veronika8904]

What engine was used??????Really like the foot kick start also...

[@johncromar8382]

Did it ever perform, or just pose?

[@ALSmith-zz4yy]

Hats off to you guys, great job. One question though. What is the purpose of the coil in the copper fuel line?

[@JakeSanMartin]

A. L. Smith Thank you! The coil in the copper line adds rigidity and keeps the line from vibrating. Excessive vibration can work harden and crack the copper line.

[@ALSmith-zz4yy]

@@JakeSanMartin I see. So the coil acts like a shock absorber spring, easing the stress on the tubing. Mystery solved.

[@TZ-nq3lz]

👍👍👍 Like from 🇮🇹

[@doncarlo5]

I find hope in the new generations when I see this ...

[@JakeSanMartin]

Thank you!

[@gregorycombs2527]

Great build, but will it function like the original?

[@G56AG]

Very nicely done, only obvious flaw I see is that the foot pedals in the position they are in would probably be dragging the ground, it looks impossible to ride til that is changed.

[@dridemoto]

Beautiful bike !

[@LoneRevD]

Pretty cool, interesting musical choice lol... I thought I was watching The Omen or something for a while.....

[@angelsone-five7912]

Sounded like they were chanting "pee off" to me! lol

[@porfiriosantiago4860]

nice talent beautiful piece of art.

[@kristieroden7463]

Simply amazing

[@nightster6378]

Beautiful! If I can make one difference I would have done was paint the engine silver as tough it was alloy.I'm collecting parts to build by own but don't have the facilities at hand you do, I will be using a Ducati Cucciolo engine, the fuel tank will be a 3" copper tube pointed at each end, 21" NSU Quickly wheels, a really nice pair of girder forks all of whick I have already aquired and of course the whole thing painted red. My problem is getting a frame I want here in the UK.

[@cliffwebb1621]

Nice work guys.

[@panagiotishatzis7304]

Amazing.....masterpiece!

[@boeingman345]

Thanks very much, we all put a little bit of ourselves into this one.

[@faerieSAALE]

real racing Board Track Racers used 27 - 28-inch wheels and long stoke 1000cc V-twin or 500-600cc One Cylinder engines. They had one throttle setting only - FULL THROTTLE with a magneto cut-off to slow down and the feet of the rider for brakes. Many men died trying their hand at riding what came to be known as Murder-Cycles on Board Tracks of Death. A nice little toy you boys made there with a washing machine Putt-Putt motor - but it is no Board Track Racer.

[@laverncarroll]

Beautiful just beautiful

[@7272nighthawk]

very nice work of art my only gripe is all that work and I never seen anyone riding it!!!!

[@boeingman345]

Thanks! Unfortunately, with the normal load of school, other big projects and the fact that we put it on official display in the Automotive Restoration program's showroom we have not had a chance to ride it. However we do know it all works. Maybe sometime in the near future.

[@edvolcom]

This is AMAZING!!!!!!

[@snoopu2601]

Love it all hands on.

[@sablatnic8030]

Impressed! Very impressed!! What is the engine, an early Briggs?

[@boeingman345]

Right on! It is a Briggs and Stratton Model Y that we modified the carburetion on. Thanks for the comment.

[@crpth1]

Awesome job. :-)

[@boeingman345]

Thank you!

[@jackson_7246]

Hi! Can I find out where the engine was taken from and what size tire

[@lilnick5636]

Amazing.

[@bigfishproductions4333]

really nice work guys

[@teawteaw2540]

เป็นความคิดสร้างสรรค์ที่คนสมัยก่อนบุกเบิก คนสมัยใหม่ยังชอบในความดิบ ประยุกต์ตามเครื่องมือที่ตัวเองมือ ยอดเยี่ยมครับ🍒🍒🍒

[@Makermook]

Beautiful job, guys! But...no footage of anyone riding it?
