    Are the included mufflers pretty quiet or no?

      thanks for the killer info. i have 4 or 5 chainsaws and 1 was already destined to be a knee grinder on something. had not comitted a bike yet, but thinking it would be a better idea than a skateboard. not cooler, just better.

              I promised my 10yr old son I would do the motor conversion on his OCC Stingray. I saw a guy on EBay who sells custom drag style exhaust pipes for them. I think it would be cool with a chrome tank, drag pipe, headlight and foot pegs on the front forks (so I could put my feet up and ride it). That's the neighbor boy in the picture.

                I've seen those OCC Stingrays with the little enignes on them, I think it would be cool to have one of those with an engine and the headlight and stuff.

                  Since the occ bikes have such a fat rear tire the supplied sprocket setup won't work. I have not really looked at how people are motorizing them but it can't be hard. There are many many parts made for these things now so im sure someone makes a kit or something. I've seen the stingrays with ohv engines on them.

                          I've seen a couple of those, but I've never seen one home-built that looked as nice as yours.

                                oh- another thing- how does it start? do you ride and then let the clutch out and 'jump' it?
