Title: Hello from Portland Oregon
Post by: 1bad67 on November 24, 2014, 11:54:10 AM: Just joined yesterday. I have loved the look of these little things for years, but never had a way to justify one. Now I work just a couple miles from work, and its all 25 mph speed limit. I think I can finally convince the wife that I need one.

Does anyone know of a project available in the Portland (Oregon) area? I have several Honda 120 and 160 motors from the kids quarter midget days. Looks like one of them (or the Continentals) would be perfect for one.

Thanks.

The Portland that everyone keeps talking about going to isn't the one in Oregon is it?
