Welcome back, glad to see you posting again.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Tue Oct 11, 2016 3:59 pm

Thanks guys, nope on the board track takes to much lumber, I`ve had it up to 25 mph on sod which seems fast on a bicycle.
Haven`t had it on the road yet.

Pitchy, my friend, it is just so darned good to see you here. I absolutely love that board track racer, and never would have thought of hanging a Wisconsin on a bike frame. My last Wisconsin was a 9-horse -- on a Gibson Tractor.
Hey, is that a "penny farthing" high-wheel in the background?
Very sorry to hear you are wrestling with serious health issues, especially as the cold and wet weather approaches.
Awaiting spinal injections myself, and maybe more surgery. Phooey!

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Tue Oct 11, 2016 6:21 pm

Thanks fellars, Bill that`s just for looks made it from a old hay rake wheel.
Wood cutting time here, not fun when your hurtin, best to you and your ailments .

Really great to see you back here again, hope you plan on hanging around for a while. I was going to suggest you tell us about your steam boats till I saw the board track racer. Without reading I would have thought it was a vintage machine. If you find the time I would love to hear all about it.

Pitch, thanks so much for the build photos and the Youtubes. Your board tracker surely does have a sweet exhaust note! How many horses is that Wisconsin?
