Sylvester Posted May 27, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 27, 2015 You may have unleashed Tippy's independence. Who knows, maybe a crotch rocket is next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted May 27, 2015 Share #4 Posted May 27, 2015 That is just very cool. I bought one of those (or similar) a few years ago. Got it running and sold it. Now you make me wish I had held onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowpuc Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted May 27, 2015 What is it? Make? Model? Year? Cruising speed? engine size? Very Kool.. Would be awesome for just getting around town.. Its a 1981 Murray, 1.5 hp, cruises really nice at 25 - guessing 30 is about tops. It is Puch motored and it seems to be fairly well built. I am pretty amazed at how well preserved the engine was after setting all those years - amazing compression and super quite. It has a very similar carb (Bing) to my very first bike (1959 Sears Allstate also made by Puch - parts of it are still with me after all these years), you know the one - with the neat little float tickler to prime er up. I had forgotten how teeny tiny those little carb orvices were.. Used to be able to actually see those little puppys but now I had to wear two pair of 3 power reading glasses and a magnifying glass to clean this one:big-grin-emoticon: Sure looks like she is havin fun. You could have at least pointed the mirror in the approximate correct direction..... In all fairness, Tip actually wanted the mirror like that so she could make sure the wind wasnt messing up her pretty hair:Laugh: and I thought that position would be perfect for signaling @Flyday should he be circling over head! Besides Fool, this particular model didnt come with reverse so seeing to back up is really not necessary:rasberry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAWildKat Posted May 27, 2015 Share #9 Posted May 27, 2015 Can I get one with trike wheels on it? Although (sadly 30mph is too slow for the streets around my house, 45mph might keep me from being a pancake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
