a guy at work has one of those bikes.  pretty neat actually!!  i can't believe he paid $650 just for the 50cc chainsaw engine with a belt and pully!!  he had to put it on a regular bicycle (which he purchased for another $600) but he's really proud he gets 100+ mpg......

i bought my first cycle for $600, i'm sure if he looked around he could find a half way decent motorcycle for $1000, he would have saved $200, that would have bought a lot of gas!!!

Detroit has always been a hub of motorcycle inovation and "Detroiters" don't always follow conventional wisdom.
The article below is about an abandoned track that has become a "Mecca" for "motorized bicyclists" and smallbore "cafe racers".

What was old is new again. Pretty cool.

Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent.
But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent.
Saddles and zip codes, passports and gates, the Jones' keep.
In August the water is trickling, in April it's furious deep.

I love this quote from Jim Kunselman on the site.
