Here are some pics of a 100cc two stork that my dad and i took and completely rebuilt. Striped down to frame, cleaned, polished, and painted everything we could. New seat cover taht my dad made. Don’t know what it tops out at yet. Too afraid to try. I’m just learning how to ride and don't have a helmet yet. I did get it up to 48mph in the back of my neighborhood the other day but backed off for fear i would kill myself. It's kind of hard to see the pin striping on the tank. Anyway here they are.

Looks nice. I think I should get one of them just for fun smile.gif

How much do they usually run for? Do you need a licence to operate them?

Looks nice. I though it was new but retro design. And then I knew it's 1969. Good work!!!

yeah, i'm really enjoying learning to ride on it. so far only 1 wreck. it wasnt to bad. didnt hurt the bike really. you would never know unless i pointed out the spots. you cant even see any damage in the pics. im getting more daring too, or mabey just stupid. either way. lots of fun. lol and the best part. i have a lot of girls, "you HAVE TO give me a ride." im waiting tell i feel comfortable enough first. but that will make the ride that much better laugh.gif
