[@kameljoe21]

Harbor freight really should include a base 100 to 200 cc motorcycle engine in their line up for those wanting to replace their aging ones in dirt bikes and other atv units. They already have a replacement for pretty much everything else. I replaced a brush trimmer motor last year for 120 bucks and less than an hour to swap and clean the unit up. The thing is pretty old and it was far cheaper than buying a new one. There are a ton of other older equiments that people swap engines out on with ease. I have even seen people swap out engines in the little skid steers with their 22 hp model.

I've actually done something like this in North Dakota. In North Dakota, it has to have a horn, headlight, taillight and brake light. Fenders too! Motor has to meet requirements. Not real tough here. The highway patrol comes to your house and does the inspection and there's a small fee. Paperwork is then given to take to the DMV and wallah! I built a trike and it was a blast. The transmission eventually went out and I dismantled it. But not before having the time of my life! I drove to work in the snow all winter. Never got pulled over.

You know Sean, I have a little 19 m/o boy, and isn't it amazing how you get to see the world through their eyes? I've likened it to getting to experience things for the first time, all over again.

@TexRobNC I agree. When my twin sons were young (4 or 5 maybe) we were watching some toy commercials and an ad for some plastic goo that came out of a former turned into a silly blob of a toy.
