One of my memories with bikes is, you would watch Eviel Knievel jump something then as soon as it was over scurry outside and look for cinder blocks and boards to make a ramp. Those 2 feet off the ground seemed very dangerous and risky back then.
Mustie1 your fourteen-year-old boy comment. Got me to thinking. Where would you go from there? Ponder that for a little bit! Here you've built this amazing trike at 14. Where in the world could you go from there? I guess your last name would be Tuttle and your first name would be junior 🙂
I used to cruise my neighborhood with a bicycle trailer picking up scrap bicycles thrown to the curb or piled up in somebody's backyard. I use go-cart frame for a quad cycle that was pedal powered. Mounted a couple old speakers to my handlebars and use my Walkman for the first bike in the neighborhood to have a radio system. Unfortunately at 19 I become physically disabled so I don't have that creative output anymore! So watching your projects gives me even more crazy ideas only if I had somebody to create them?I went to create a propane powered wheelchair that has the least a 50 mile range before refueling? Now I customize my wheelchair with an air horn and commercial grade strobe lights just to annoy people. Thanks again
@berkelusa I checked out your vids and your right were into the same stuff, and I see your favorite tool is the wizz wheel too, do you go to amhurst swap meet?
@mustie1 Ahh. I thought they were going to sit more horizontal, therefore only be able to hold maybe 2/3rds. But 90% is plenty, assuming they stay sealed.
That leads to another question. How does the thermos seal hold up with it sealing gas instead of hot coco?
i like your project philosophy 🙂
make the gas tank strap on so you
can tilt it up to fill it or carry it to gas station
in case you run out while your out on the road. lol

You are an engineering marvel Mustie. Great project done in your usual style.Thanks

Great story about the bike, duct tape and the washing machine motor. Thanks for the videos.

Looks like a lot of fun. I was thinking a frisco'd peanut or sporty tank…have fun
