building a boardtrack racer

[@jeffhunter2553]

For a young man you have a very impressive skill set. The fact that you're using that skill set to to build machines that give folks a glimpse back to the early days of motorcycling as also very impressive.

[@BedStuyBro]

Don't mind all that other stuff. Anyone who will re-spoke their own wheel has my full respect from the jump. Great work, creativity, craftsmanship, and dedication.

[@alexbrewer4570]

Or that much skill in machining their own parts!

[@nickhersheys2706]

Re-spoking is messy. I want to try it someday

[@bomberdog6638]

DITO!!! This ol boy's got the fever and the skill !!!

[@George-ie1si]

That first ride must have been a wonderful experience Well done on a great build.

[@5AXISDLOCKHART]

very nice build. I noticed in a reply above you are a engineer. It is good to see one who can actually build something. I really liked your solution to connecting the drive sprocket. That was some nice bridgeport work.

[@mafiageek123]

Gosh i love that bike. Douglas we gotta take a ride sometime on our bikes man. Mines been working pretty good lately thanks to you. Plus if you ever need an extra hand in your work shop im always free. - Geoff

[@thedude2278]

anybody that has to question something about this build doesn't get it. magnificent job man especially the way the lifan motor was fitted. cheers brotha

[@paulrose4201]

I love that you made your own hub mount! That’s dedication!!

[@danielhoffman2299]

It's so refreshing to see a young engineer who still can visualize things..Your craftsmanship is impeccable..I wish you all the best and many happy hours motoring...Next question is WHATS NEXT ?

[@dphotos007]

What a wonderful craftsman you are. Looks like you are in my neck of the woods in So Cal.

[@mg1342mg]

Fantastic job. You really captured the spirit, especially by building it yourself. I'd love to ride it. And thanks for using "I Remember", one of Kaskade's best.

[@DanciestCheese]

Your craftsmanship is over my head. Dammit.

[@paulolodicora4471]

Your piece of work is the best seen in youtube yet!

[@GasserGlass]

You captured the essence of the early motorcycle...nice job

[@georgewocosky]

Fun fun fun . . . Just subscribed . . . I'm impressed with your abilities at your age . . . quite commendable ! I'm an old 'geezer' . . .ex aerospace machinist, surveyor, bit of a design engineer, rock faceter, . . .wish I had access to machinery when I was younger ! Now I'm getting into metalcasting . . .so I can make anything I need . . . who needs cash ? . . . oh yeah . . the banksters . . take care ! . . . and keep the vids coming ! Thanks

[@PaddleDogC5]

Wow great skills. I love it.

[@1reefluvr2]

Awesome build Doug

[@Purdyc12393]

reaally nice craftsmanship! turned out great

[@anubis1100]

those 125cc lifan engines are the best for small bike projects, i got a 250cc V-twin one and stuck it into my mud bike, the ones from Canadian tire with the briggs engine in it.

[@honeybunchickens]

Thanks man. I checked your bike out and is beautiful. I hope to build my own engine one day like you. Ive been wanting to do it for so long now but is going to be even harder for me now i lost all my tools, No lathe or mill anymore. I know though's two combined i could fabricate a custom 1900s style engine. Ive made non working single cylinder engines before only for display. Hopefully i will do the real deal next. We all have to start somewhere don't we. cheers from Doug

[@heavystarch100]

The key way on the rear adapter was genius!!

[@jasonargone5993]

Skills and skills and yet even more skills.....this is what 'handmade' means...with a purpose ! Nice bike.

[@pauldean8638]

All homebuilt with pride , knowledge and tons of hours ,attention to detail and perfection, keep at it as you'll soon be another burt Monroe(home tuner that set one heck if a land speed record)

[@Burnersforvanlife]

Buet didnt fuck about with piss poor chinese replica engines!

[@Hitech82]

Nice job. You are a very good bike builder my friend.

[@patnaty]

you have to be proud of that bike nice talent here dont stop your work

[@sanchir82]

Wow what an amazing build! Do you have a blog somewhere or a build thread on some forum? where we could follow your steps and get more info on the specs? specs like engine, frame, hub..etc. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

[@fairyheli2]

nice bike and shop, one day I hope to get a shop like that

[@ericmcginnis9413]

Sweet build bro!

[@MrZenamic]

Excellent! You have done a really good work.

[@longhwin1]

Very creative! like your attitude!

[@ВадимКузнецов-з2й]

...Дуглас! ты молорик, отличная, кропотливая и качественная работа, удачи тебе во всём и творческих успехов в дальнейшем😉..!

[@critchley3819]

beautiful, you are a craftsman, don't ever stop what you are doing..

[@f.rickpalmon9350]

Amazing job, you've got great skill

[@labanachecklowery5662]

I love all of ur bike projects keep the good work i likes to see more beachcruiser projects im working on my Micargi at the beginning of the 2014 year Just to get some ideas!!!! :-)

[@RUBIZEN]

Nice. I want to do one but I already have more projects than I can handle. In case you do another, websites that sell cruiser bikes have some cool springer front ends that would be perfect for board trackers.

[@bigmacboy876]

Impressive! Great worksmanship and Bike of course! I see you installed a 125 Lifan engine cool

[@ericmcginnis9413]

Awesome build bro!

[@MrBusinessman305]

you're the best . good job u have plenty time on your hands

[@mr221mph]

VERY NICE WORK LAD!!! KEEP IT UP!

[@TheLittleworkshop]

Hi great bike would like to have ago myself can you advice on a good starting frame and wheel size, for a nice low track racer. Many thanks

[@1908Rick]

Nice work. Brings back memories of building mine, and I built the engine from scratch too. Search "1908 Harley board track racer" to see it.

[@gavinrichman8610]

Dude this is sick! Do you still have it?

[@robertsalmon6893]

Awesome job, well done.

[@bomberdog6638]

Loved the bike and the skill it took to build it however whoever done the camera work needs some help . I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it hadn't jerking around so much ! Other than that though I thought it was great !!

[@AlbertaClimber]

Beautiful job, finished product looks awesome. I'm really curious though, why you would make those filler plates out of brass.. only to paint them black?

[@deltafour1212]

Did you build the whole frame from scratch? What size and type of tubing did you use?

[@AudiQuattro72]

Hello. What measures used tire and rim? thanks

[@MARTY7N]

quality workmanship,like your tools also! ;D

[@8inlinea]

Awesome!! Great job, really! May I ask if/how you put brakes on it? I know the real board track racers didn't have any, but if I were to build a replica (thing that I'm willing to do sooner or later) I would prefer to have some sort of braking system.

[@7minibike2]

nice job that looks very cool!!!mike

[@eduardojerez695]

douglas felicitacion four your invention motorcicle,you very inteligent congratulacion.

[@RatAndRaven]

awesome!! does the motor have a gearbox? I never even thought of using a horizontal single...

[@user-vd3em7xz6g]

Mantap Bro motor clasic trend melegenda di jalan

[@DanciestCheese]

Quite enjoyable watching someone with such skill, though. Dammit.

[@jetmano]

What is that thing you got there in a vice in around 1:40, doings something with that metal strip?

[@teatajanelli]

Superb bike. You are a wizard :)

[@alonsogarcia6518]

What style engine did you use?

[@OptimalLifeNow]

Nicely executed.

[@BiknutProductions]

Really enjoyed watching that. I learned a few things too. Thank you.

[@giraffeheavyfactory]

lololol you DIYed CNC sprocket bracket, great job

[@paulhawkins2380]

What happend to the copper petrol tank that was been formed? Or is this one a original tank been fixed up and put back into action

[@Feosnake]

how much would you charge me for just a fram to a 80cc?

[@lanceladewig2793]

Nice project, do you have the video without all the nausea inducing special affects by chance?

[@mack_titan]

Good work! I would recommend a bigger and better engine on your next project.

[@screaminsix]

Awesome! Great Job.

[@michaellong6605]

With that kind of talent you would think someone could set you up with an period type engine and you could go racing. Might be worth the effort to circulate this video.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Very, very nice indeed. One word...CRAFTSMANSHIP!

[@cbgreenbay]

Nice fab skills dude !

[@RubenMartinez-xb5ko]

Un crack el muchacho que artesanía 😊

[@loungekast6533]

Wow... That's clean

[@ridethroughlifertl]

What engine is that nestled in your frame? It looks so iconic, but I can't place it.

[@albertopadovani4237]

Amazing! 🏍👍

[@dougdillard9006]

WOW....so talented.

[@lipkvichfabrication1799]

Sweet paint on that tank

[@patlab1000]

[@georgexabo5949]

[@5zizuca]

[@Dangson121]

did you braze the tank together?

[@hookedonmermies]

Yes

[@hookedonmermies]

I did yes

[@trekranger]

WHAT kind of rims are you using ?

[@rahmatmetaldetektorpalopo]

Amazing

[@jimfitzgibbon5492]

Doug GREAT job ! What bike frame did you chop & modify at the start of this project. I bought the same engine with the same plan as you. But I,m looking for a donor bike?

[@LemonidisK]

bravo!!!!!Kostas from Greece!!!!

[@ericmcginnis9413]

This vidio has me wondering if his making of the rear hub adapter is what spawn them or did they already exist and if simply made one of his own or chain did he come up with the whole design! Basically did he invent it but then again I don't know how long they have been out!

[@1misticointolerante]

Excélsior...... excelente.!!!!!!

[@madmax16117]

Awesome. Your a mad man. Like me.

[@ravikanth3618]

superb looks same as harley davidson

[@nickstorey8204]

How cool is that!

[@SierraMercury91]

Nice skill set

[@6bettyboo9]

wow ! awesome job man !

[@ginger1993ful]

Is that an auto trans ? I see the shifter there on the side of course but no clutch lever to relieve tension in the gears when shifting, is there something I'm missing in all that ?

[@raymondo162]

Look carefully and what you'll see is a cheap knock-off copy of the Legendary Honda 50 - which has an auto clutch................

[@ArcturanMegadonkey]

WOW, brilliant stuff!

[@archer7212]

I thought the point of the drop loop was to have room for the crank case?

[@anythingoldmechanical]

You've made a fantastic job.. But you need a bigger engine installing!

[@honeybunchickens]

@ArcturanMegadonkey thanks

[@bikerdude73]

How big is the engine? Great little racer by the way :-)

[@wastaggio]

nice job! are you allowed by the state you're living in to drive that thing on a public road?
