Hi guys. Judging from my last post which didn't seem to go over too well by redirecting everyone to see my video on YouTube, I've decided to make another chopper build thread but I'll make it on here.
The chopper I'm building will be the TMC Dumont hubless concept motorcycle of which I will include a photo.

I do like your video. I make my videos the same way. The only problem was that it was "age restricted" (for some strange reason). I would like to encourage you to continue making your videos and your projects the way that you feel best. If you wish to change the way you do things, do it for yourself and for your own self improvement.
This forum is dedicated to helping members improve their skills and techniques through sharing experiences (both good and bad). It is up to the individual member to take that knowledge and do with it as they wish. I (personally) have learned a great deal from this forum (and the members of it)

So, on that note, "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!"

Thank you for the encouraging words, it means a lot to me and I'll continue with my work or my hobby because it's very enjoyable.

That engine reclines at around 2400 r.p.m., which means, right off idle, you have full torque and full horse power. No transmission was necessary, which sheer brute force, it lunges forward. Interesting pick. You will do it justice. As far as your trike, it got a lot of looks, maybe not responses, but a lot of views. It also came out great!!

This bike was more of a work of art. No front or rear brakes, it relied on the engine to slow it down, and it didn't handle well, but it sparked the imagination, which is what art does, especially art you can ride. :)
 
Jesse James's Radial Hell Aero bike powered by a 7-cylinder Rotec radial aircraft engine is also a beast that needs no transmission, it has a scrub wheel which directly mounts to and spins the rear tire with the textured tube. Incredible workmanship, you can't hit the ground leaning this over, unless you roll off the tires. Might be an interesting project, no one has made one. I don't know why he didn't put brakes on either, I have too many miles on bikes, they should not be ridden without brakes, especially front brakes. ;)

Yes I've seen some videos of these bikes and they're so unusual looking that they look really cool. It's nice to see something out of the ordinary every once in awhile because it catches your eye.

Thanks my friend, appreciate the encouraging words. As far as how my new bike project will look, time will tell on that but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
