| I have an AMF Roadmaster Moped that appears to be all original (down to the tires)and is in good condition. Don't know the year or anything else about it. The vin # is 107141, can anyone help identify it? I haven't gotten it running and don't know if it is worth investing time and $ if it has little value. Appreciate any help.

AGE / VALUE: Bike Bug Brother of The Year - Rev. Johny Mooore Schulenburg Texas & Rally
posted by: Mike Schneider
on 6/22/2011 at 12:14:20 AM
| The Motorized Bicycle Company of Houston, Texas has donated one of its Bike Bug (America’s Favorite Bicycle Engine) front wheel drive bicycle engine to Reverend Johnny Moore of Schulenberg, Texas and honored him as Bike Bug Brother of the Year 2011. The Bike Bug engine is mounted on a Worksman Industrial Tricycle (model ADB-3CB) with a 2’ X 6’ bicycle wheel trailer. The Motorized Bicycle Company’s engineering staff designed and built the accompanying trailer. Their calculations and tests show the Bike Bug 1.2 horsepower engine, industrial tricycle and bicycle wheeled trailer should support 300+ lb. payloads and travel at 20+/- miles per hour and achieve 150 miles per gallon.
During the recent MS150 bicycle event (Houston to Austin 150 miles) – four Bike Bug equipped bicyclers learned about Rev. Moore constructing a church by collecting recyclable materials with a bicycle and wagon during their stop in Columbus, Texas. They learned Rev. Moore collected the materials and hauled them to his facility. At the Church of the Heart construction site, the Preacher and parishioners sort and stack the various items into an immaculate arrangement of various items. The local good citizens of Schulenberg shop at Rev. Moore’s outdoor facility and buy the various items. The proceeds are set to fund the church construction.
We have the award during the Grand Parade All Cowboy Rodeo. More information on the Festival ingcan be found at
www.schulenburgfestival.org
Hope you Bike Buggers can join us.

| Just so noone has to go through the same anguish I did.....My sister bought me a skyhawk 80cc from Kings....they sent a returned engine (dented gas tank, dented chainguard that actually had plier marks from previous customer trying to straighten out for return, muffler actually had oil and carbon residue). I stopped unpacking, called for a replacement. Sent them pictures and they actually had the gall to have me try to file a claim with UPS so they wouldn't incur any costs for THEIR mistake which was pretty obvious.....noone is even checking box contents to even see if a box is a return or new engine. To top it off it was sent via the USPS...not UPS. I asked them for a replacement...and got hung up on. My sister cslled and she was hung up on. I ended up paying $30(out of pocket for their ineptness on an already $180 engine) for return shipping of the damaged parts with no reimbursement or apology. Just a whole lot of bad attitude. If you value your $, time, and patience avoid those clowns at all costs.....I am. I wouldn't even place a small order with them in the future even if they give me a free engine....they are that bad. Also they own roughly 3 different sites selling the same products so you come running to the other site when u get screwed.

| Does anyone know how the rivets are applied when recovering a leather whizzer seat. The rivets do not show on the outside but go through the pan to the wrapped around leather on the inside? How do you flatten the rivet without messing up the outside finished surface of the leather seat??

MOTORIZED BICYCLES: Bike Bug Brothers 2010

| B I K E B U G B R O T H E R H O O D N E W S :You may recall our interview with Mike Schneider, probably the foremost living authority on the Tanaka bike engine kits of the '70s, most commonly called "Bike Bugs". Not only is Mike still involved with those little beauties, he actually formed and heads an organization for fanciers of the marque. One aspect of the club's activities is the promotion of positive contributions by members, via Bike Bug, and acknowledgement of their good deeds through The Bike Bug Brother of the Year Award. Here's the story behind this year's award:"Charles Allen of Columbia, Michigan performed a labor of love for his good friend Matt Schultz, who lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. Charlie rebuilt a bike and a Bike Bug Bicycle Engine for his friend. Matt has been afflicted with poor eyesight recently, and has had to give up his Florida auto driver's license.'

| jerry, I have had problems getting the gas cap off some of my solexes they swell up over time,,, oil, heat,(non flame), and finally, just force it,,, I've never broken one, once its off you can lightly sand the cap, test fitting it, till its good as new. I'm in St. Louis Mo. may have parts you need close by.
