Posted 13 years ago. You were way ahead of the currently popular Track Racer Trend!. Truley a piece of hand crafted art.

[@stelleratorsuprise8185]

Nice build, the modifications on the engine where a great idea, it turned a lawn mower engine into a motorcycle engine.

[@nigelcarren]

Tis a thing of beauty Mike! BRAVO from an English armourer in a French forest! 🏆⚒️🇬🇧

[@GreaseMonkeyAuto]

I'm 3 mins in, and whoa dude. Already. You're very skilled.

[@greggolden2242]

THE BEST BUILD YET. GIVE MY LEFT NUT TO HAVE ONE LIKE IT. QUALITY QUALITY.

[@williamsporing1500]

Nice bike! And one of the most excellent doobie bros. tunes to go with it…

[@greggolden2242]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. A WORK OF WORKING ART. ONE OF THE BEST BUILDS.

[@LoweSpeedFab]

thats the best motorised bike iv ever seen well done brilliant

[@Fluxo2]

Extremely.well done. Beautiful piece of machinery !

[@MrRichinil]

Thats an awesome conversion on the engine . With everything exposed im sure she stays plenty cool too . Great workmanship .

[@kilogram064]

Using this video as a beginning point for my build. I have the bike now, getting the engine this payday. I possess most of the tools already. All that is needed is workspace.

[@mycroftselene3326]

Yes she's beautiful I love it! Muchos gracias por la video mi hermano!

[@nickrupp2336]

That's an amazing bike build !

[@jrw2823]

Quality build! One hell of a cool bike!

[@popeyeman69]

What a work of art!

[@vrgt2003]

The motor is a Honda GC160 tricked out by machining the flywheel and adding a "Flat Head" look to the top. The clutch is a standard style centrifugal clutch on a jack shaft that is where the pedal crank is. I found bearings that fit from Northern Tool. The bearings slid right into the existing bearing cups.

[@oepolish]

I'm using your video as a point of reference for my latest build

[@David-nq4ps]

Clean build 100% ..

[@45zuko]

very nice mike brown. yours is truly hand crafted.man i have to get a welder!

[@JasonBelgarde]

EXCELLENT WORK!!!!!!

[@pies61]

STUNNING

[@ccleveland4000]

this is the sweeties thing that i have seen

[@MrZenamic]

Hi Mike well done!

[@767dag]

i love the valve cove ...desing thats so cool , what a work of art and craftsmanship

[@coburnlowman]

Ok. Now I can understand the engine. The push rod tubes on a flathead n all had me stumped as well as all the rest of your engine. I had in my mind been thinking of a wAy to use a modern ignition coil but have it look Vintage. Your dummy spark plug in the top aludes the working plug as well as the ugly stamped valve cover. Those Honda and Clonda as I call them are most reliable but just look to modern. You have made a Kool cover that really looks functional and 1900's ish. I'm sure if you made just the engine dress up as a kit you would pay for a small cnc mill in a hurry. Thanks for some great ideas.

[@leonardarola]

Wow, 12 years ago. (2023 here)

[@elselsblut]

wow you are a master respekt!!!!!! what a nice bike yo made there a hallo from austria

[@Mattydeee93]

Mike, this bike and video is really inspirstional. Im currently looking to do a similar project to make a board tracker styled road legal bike. Dont suppose you would be able to do a quick video explaining what you done to the aesthetics of the engine? Thanks - Matt

[@vrgt2003]

[@skyypilot]

ok, now I get it.... Mostly. That engine is a neater piece of work than the frame!

[@kopynd1]

a wish a could show u how its done in england you would be really impressed

[@luckyrabbit666]

I see you removed all the engine covers and removed the air fins off the flywheel.How do you keep your engine from overheating at idle?

[@sanchir82]

awesome build, did you guys have to machine the flywheel smooth to get rid of the cooling fins? Also is the governor still in place with the carb upgrades?

[@trekranger]

Where did you get the tubes for the forks and are they welded?

[@toro64xxx]

EXCELLENT AND BEAUTIFUL ENGINEERING WORK!!!...Are you planning to market it ? I would like to buy one, frame, tank, engine and rest of components.

[@joshuamorales9909]

regards how could you put on the right side in the fredwheels sigueñal?

[@hellohun7331]

Nice job. You used a real but modified engine instead of a chinesieum two stroke.

[@lbarusso]

Parabéns

[@767dag]

hey that so inspiring ....what engine is this . its got me wanting to order parts , by part and start one

[@danielmccormick6584]

How far did you stretch the top tube? Thanks

[@FPSAustralian1]

[@angelomarcio6497]

[@thebaker331]

[@michaelwoodsdale460]

What kind of power plant? Briggs and Stratton?

[@sandroscotto6218]

Top primeira linha massa

[@steveng6271]

What type of Tyres/wheels are those?

[@leswilson7119]

Can you please explain the transmission- clutch setup on this project as i am very new to all this. many thank

[@jasonhatcher9279]

Brother, nice work but I also need clutch as well as engine explanation. PLEASE just tell me the name and manufacturer of the engine and the tranny too. You'd change my life if so. I currently have advanced lung cancer, I have two Triumph Bonnevilles. Both 1973 models. One is bone stock and the other is a Streettracker I placed my soul into and spent 2 whopping years ti build. But I do not want just another trendy motorized bike but rather a board track style replica. forgive my sob story but I am dying, And I have not a clue how much time I have left. But before I perish, I at least want to build one more bike and make it one like yours, Such a thing would put a little joy in what's let of my life. If yu do not wish to reply here on KZbin, please ket me know and I will send you my e-mail address. Again, great work! I hope you will contact me. Thanks ... Jason

[@LoweSpeedFab]

are the exposed pushrods real or just for looks

[@miliardojoe664]

wooowwwwwww

[@VooDoo669]

What gauge steel did you use for the tank?

[@sanchir82]

oh I see the governor arm is disconnected, but looks like the governor is still inside.

[@konstruktionslos1670]

fuck year. very, very nice one. I like it so mutch ;-)

[@diogosantos214]

Nice build bro, i would like to speak with ya in private, cos ive got a bike more less like that but i dont know how to put my centrifugal clutch working in that way , soo if you can answer this i would appreciate that mate Anyway real Nice bike 🤯🤯😁
