bmi has ridiculous shipping prices though. It keeps me from ordering from them. Mfgsupply has much better shipping rates.

agreed

 

[Blazkowiez]

It happens. On some things its fair, but others its not.

I'm curious to see what the ability to start an online shipping company would be, I've got the hosting ability and stock all the parts they do, what do you think guys?

 

[EagleTalons]

I'd love it, if you used reasonable shipping rates. Also you have to use Paypal.

You'd have a nice advantage because of your association with this group. If you're competitive, I'd buy things from you.

i say go for it. You have all the parts already, the only thing you have to loose is time. i'd order from you too. You would probably need to buy a SSL security certificate for your site. Although if you use paypal, you may not. if you needed any extra help, id be glad to pitch in. Im sure you would also need an account with a shipping service.

Ok I have an engine, a Honda g100. Runs ok now. I will start on this soon, but I was considering a sidecar, what do you think?

 

[KieranM]

it would be......different, would it carry a person, or the shopping lol

 

[r_chez_08]

A person but it would probably not be powerful enough. I just thought it would be kinda fun if I had a mate over, and I could bolt on the sidecar and... Yeh

 

[KieranM]

yea doubt you would have alot of fun with 2 people in it, powered by a g100.


Trike maby...

 

[r_chez_08]

I was considering that too. But I thought a bike would be more fun as it is less stable

 

[r_chez_08]

Ok bike or chopper it is (depends on the size of the front wheel I can find :L)
g100 powered with belt drive or cent clutch.
Briggs 3hp Has a nackered block so I can't use it. Hoping to pick up some 1" tube for the frame. I am going to build it as small as possible around the size if the engine.
Pics will come soon!

hey: r chez 08 when choosing your final design, keep in mind that in the event that you might want to upgrade to a larger engine latter on you can, so be sure to leave enough room for something a little larger.

 

[r_chez_08]

Yeah I suppose. I may leave enough room for my clone without it's fuel tank.

 

[KieranM]

Are you going to be using suspension on the bike?

 

[r_chez_08]

No cos it's gunna be budget, under £50.

 

[KieranM]

any look finding the wheels?

 

[r_chez_08]

Not yet. Does a 1:6 ratio with 13" wheels sound good?

 

[KieranM]

what will you be using bike for, flat land or hilly fields ect?
