Don't mind all that other stuff. Anyone who will re-spoke their own wheel has my full respect from the jump. Great work, creativity, craftsmanship, and dedication.

For a young man you have a very impressive skill set. The fact that you're using that skill set to to build machines that give folks a glimpse back to the early days of motorcycling as also very impressive.

That first ride must have been a wonderful experience Well done on a great build.

I love that you made your own hub mount! That’s dedication!!

anybody that has to question something about this build doesn't get it. magnificent job man especially the way the lifan motor was fitted. cheers brotha

Awesome job, well done.

Your piece of work is the best seen in youtube yet!

Your craftsmanship is over my head. Dammit.

You captured the essence of the early motorcycle...nice job

Impressive! Great worksmanship and Bike of course! I see you installed a 125 Lifan engine cool

Really enjoyed watching that. I learned a few things too. Thank you.

What a wonderful craftsman you are. Looks like you are in my neck of the woods in So Cal.

Fantastic job. You really captured the spirit, especially by building it yourself. I'd love to ride it. And thanks for using "I Remember", one of Kaskade's best.

reaally nice craftsmanship! turned out great

very nice build. I noticed in a reply above you are a engineer. It is good to see one who can actually build something. I really liked your solution to connecting the drive sprocket. That was some nice bridgeport work.

Amazing job, you've got great skill

Excellent! You have done a really good work.

Awesome build Doug

Thanks man. I checked your bike out and is beautiful. I hope to build my own engine one day like you. Ive been wanting to do it for so long now but is going to be even harder for me now i lost all my tools, No lathe or mill anymore. I know though's two combined i could fabricate a custom 1900s style engine. Ive made non working single cylinder engines before only for display. Hopefully i will do the real deal next. We all have to start somewhere don't we. cheers from Doug

Nice. I want to do one but I already have more projects than I can handle. In case you do another, websites that sell cruiser bikes have some cool springer front ends that would be perfect for board trackers.

WOW, brilliant stuff!

It's so refreshing to see a young engineer who still can visualize things..Your craftsmanship is impeccable..I wish you all the best and many happy hours motoring...Next question is WHATS NEXT ?

Nice work it looks like fun

Nice work. Brings back memories of building mine, and I built the engine from scratch too. Search "1908 Harley board track racer" to see it.

those 125cc lifan engines are the best for small bike projects, i got a 250cc V-twin one and stuck it into my mud bike, the ones from Canadian tire with the briggs engine in it.

you have to be proud of that bike nice talent here dont stop your work

Awesome! Great Job.

Sweet build bro!

Gosh i love that bike. Douglas we gotta take a ride sometime on our bikes man. Mines been working pretty good lately thanks to you. Plus if you ever need an extra hand in your work shop im always free. - Geoff

Skills and skills and yet even more skills.....this is what 'handmade' means...with a purpose ! Nice bike.

wow ! awesome job man !

Very creative! like your attitude!

you're the best . good job u have plenty time on your hands

Very, very nice indeed. One word...CRAFTSMANSHIP!

VERY NICE WORK LAD!!! KEEP IT UP!

lololol you DIYed CNC sprocket bracket, great job

All homebuilt with pride , knowledge and tons of hours ,attention to detail and perfection, keep at it as you'll soon be another burt Monroe(home tuner that set one heck if a land speed record)

Beautiful job, finished product looks awesome. I'm really curious though, why you would make those filler plates out of brass.. only to paint them black?

quality workmanship,like your tools also! ;D

beautiful, you are a craftsman, don't ever stop what you are doing..

Awesome build bro!

Hi great bike would like to have ago myself can you advice on a good starting frame and wheel size, for a nice low track racer. Many thanks

The key way on the rear adapter was genius!!

Mantap Bro motor clasic trend melegenda di jalan

Wow great skills. I love it.

Wow what an amazing build! Do you have a blog somewhere or a build thread on some forum? where we could follow your steps and get more info on the specs? specs like engine, frame, hub..etc. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

Nice fab skills dude !

Nice job. You are a very good bike builder my friend.

Inspiring,Great job

I love all of ur bike projects keep the good work i likes to see more beachcruiser projects im working on my Micargi at the beginning of the 2014 year Just to get some ideas!!!! :-)

...Дуглас! ты молорик, отличная, кропотливая и качественная работа, удачи тебе во всём и творческих успехов в дальнейшем😉..!

Awesome!! Great job, really! May I ask if/how you put brakes on it? I know the real board track racers didn't have any, but if I were to build a replica (thing that I'm willing to do sooner or later) I would prefer to have some sort of braking system.

Fun fun fun . . . Just subscribed . . . I'm impressed with your abilities at your age . . . quite commendable ! I'm an old 'geezer' . . .ex aerospace machinist, surveyor, bit of a design engineer, rock faceter, . . .wish I had access to machinery when I was younger ! Now I'm getting into metalcasting . . .so I can make anything I need . . . who needs cash ? . . . oh yeah . . the banksters . . take care ! . . . and keep the vids coming ! Thanks

How cool is that!

Hey man! That's a beautiful piece machinery that you've built!👍 I'm just wondering where you got the wheels?

Good work! I would recommend a bigger and better engine on your next project.

Superb bike. You are a wizard :)

Loved the bike and the skill it took to build it however whoever done the camera work needs some help . I would have enjoyed it a lot more if it hadn't jerking around so much ! Other than that though I thought it was great !!

Wow... That's clean

Quite enjoyable watching someone with such skill, though. Dammit.

@ArcturanMegadonkey thanks

nice job that looks very cool!!!mike

Doug GREAT job ! What bike frame did you chop & modify at the start of this project. I bought the same engine with the same plan as you. But I,m looking for a donor bike?

Nicely executed.

nice bike and shop, one day I hope to get a shop like that

You are the man! :-)

Amazing! 🏍👍

nice job! are you allowed by the state you're living in to drive that thing on a public road?

Amazing work. Inspiring...

WHAT kind of rims are you using ?

Sweet paint on that tank

Now thats cool!!

With that kind of talent you would think someone could set you up with an period type engine and you could go racing. Might be worth the effort to circulate this video.

What engine is that nestled in your frame? It looks so iconic, but I can't place it.

douglas felicitacion four your invention motorcicle,you very inteligent congratulacion.

awesome!! does the motor have a gearbox? I never even thought of using a horizontal single...

very cool!

Did you build the whole frame from scratch? What size and type of tubing did you use?

WOW....so talented.

Nice project, do you have the video without all the nausea inducing special affects by chance?

bravo!!!!!Kostas from Greece!!!!

What style engine did you use?

Dude this is sick! Do you still have it?

top notch lovin it

You have got skills man,,,,

Great video

You're a genius

How big is the engine? Great little racer by the way :-)

hi from colombia, i think you are an artists, its an amazing job, do you sell them?

the frame is funky lol funky as shyt lol

superb looks same as harley davidson

nice work

Beautiful bike

Is that an auto trans ? I see the shifter there on the side of course but no clutch lever to relieve tension in the gears when shifting, is there something I'm missing in all that ?

Wow that's fuckin great. You should start a production line probably sell like a jillion of those

how fast does it go ?

Hello. What measures used tire and rim? thanks

You've made a fantastic job.. But you need a bigger engine installing!

Nice skill set

wish i had all the tools you do right now.. im young thought so it will be awhile before i accquire more tools for builds..
