As you can see, the Mikey Bike Team has made some modifications to this Safticycle. They changed the fenders (Does anyone know what kind of fenders they are?) as well as added a new cable activated rear brake. This bike will be at the Portland Motor Bike Show in mid-July for all those who want to see this bike up close and personal. It will not be 100% complete but will surely be a site to see!! Please continue to visit because more restorations are in progress.

LaRay-ish Frame

This is our LaRayish Bike. This LaRay frame will be totally customized (Which is why we call it our LaRayish Bike).

LaRay and Salsbury Restorations

As you can see the MikeyBike Team is busy restoring many motor bikes and scooters. Not only are they restoring a Safticycle (pictured below) but they are also restoring a LaRay and a Model 85 Salsbury (pictured above).

Safticycle - sanded frame and fenders plus more!

As you can tell from the picture, we have made some updates to the restoration of this Safticycle. Our MikeyBike Team sanded the frame and it is now covered in primer red while the fenders have also been sanded but are covered in primer silver. This Safticycle features a 6.5 overhead electric start motor with a Comet TAV-2 Torque Converter. You can also note the big, oversized rims and 24x400 tires. The MikeyBike Team also added and lengthened the rear drop outs. The Safticycle is still a work in progress so make sure to visit often and see more updates!

Safticycle Gas Tank

Here is the newly restored Safticycle gas tank, you can tell what a dramatic change it has undergone. It was painted a nice, bright red that just pops with the white "Safticycle" logo.

Safticycle Restoration

Our MikeyBike Team is now onto a new restoration project, a 1951 Safticycle, that will be customized for the owner. As you can tell from the picture this baby is going to take some time to be fully restored.

MikeyBike Team and the LaRay owners - the Lynn Family

Pictured is the Lynn Family with our MikeyBike Team. The Lynn Family was here to take home their beautifully restored LaRay. Thank you Lynn family for the wonderful LaRay hats, they are greatly appreciated!

The finished product!!

The 4 Star General says it is complete and just in time for the holidays! We are just waiting for the owner to come and pick it up.

Test Drive!

Handlebars and more....

With the addition of the handlebar, grips and throttle, our restoration is nearly complete. As you can tell we cannot wait to take this baby for a test drive!

The addition of the belts and guard

The fuel line is complete and the MikeyBike Team added the belts and the guard. Soon, this bike will be finished!

Addition of more parts!

Here you can see the addition of the kick stand, tank sticker, and the sheave. The wheels were pin-striped and mounted. The fuel line, however, is still a work in progress.

Adding the wire for the rear light

You can see we doing the finishing touches of the rear light wiring...We are in the Christmas Spirit!!

Adding wheels and tires....
