Hello from Portland Oregon
« 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.

Wrong coast, but I'll give it a shot. It's exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

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

I started to get excited, then the more I read about where people were coming from, I started to think it must be some other Portland.

You'll bave to go see the Spruce Goose again. They have really enlarged the museum latley.

Well it is a bit of a drive from there about 2300 miles. Wow that's far but there is one that comes up from California way. Just putting that out there.
