Had the oppertunity to buy a Valk Engine cheap.  Problem was the engine was in Indianapolis and I am Baltimore Md.  Was talking to Shortleg and he said Road Trip.  Last Saturday we took off and picked up the engine.  38,000 miles on and some bling left on it.  He had an almost new Toyo Proxes Tire so I bought that also.  Now I know I have enough parts to keep my two Valks running until I don't anymore.  It was also great to get away from work and know that how ever many times they call I can't go in.  It was great to be with a friend talk motorcycles, music, food, and what ever and not worry about work.  But now Im back and having a day off isn't looking good for a couple of weeks.  Just got a NoMar tire changer and just chommpin at the bit to put that Toyo on a Valk rim.

It's A Seqway Clone called a Q2.  When we were building the new plant It saved me from having as much pain in my knees.  I am going to take it apart and build an electric trike out of it!  I may work a lot and  tickedoff but it pays for my toys.  2funny

12 mph on a flat floor but thats just fine standing up.  Never really tracked distance but I could run it hard for 4 to 6 hours and I am over its weight limit.

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

Just wondering, but what does a engine bring? Don't have to tell if you don't want to.

I got this motor and tire for $750 including the trip food lodging and gas.  I know the bike it came off of and know it was not abused.  It has 38,000 miles on it. It also still has some bling on it.  Pinwall is getting around $900 for a raped engine.  $1500 for a stripped engine.  Dont really know what a drop in and run would be.
