I started about a year and a half ago building a homebuilt clone of a 1910Pierce. It's getting close to being finished. It got a 1936 Wisconsin AB motor, comet torque converter, Model A Ford control pedals, and belt drive to the rear wheel. Most of the bike is made out of stainless steel. It will be named the "Peace" and have decal like the Pierce when complete. Look for it at next years meets.

Just about done. Rides good, still working out bugs on the front fender and need to replace the rear drive gear with smaller. Pictures really suck but here they are....Louie

OK, I found out I couldn't take pictures in the sun with my camera, too much wash out. If you saw this bike in Eustis you may have seen the front fork support bracket broke. Well I found a much stronger collar to weld it to and all is well again, I even finished the front fender. So these are the final pictures. Enjoy. Peace!Louie

Congrats on your invention... but I have to ask the question especially of the other guys on this thread, do you really think a 2010 invention belongs in a strictly over 30 years old club environment/rally. I mean, great for what it is, but it is new... literally, and the only remote link to old antique motorcycles is the idea behind it.
Peace and may it never rain on your ride

Hey I know it's just a toy made out of junk in my garage, but the motor is a 1936 (74 years old) Wisconsin AB and the pedals are Ford model A. And it's not just the parts, it's the engineering, try and make a frame and front end from scratch. I feel it's pretty easy to bolt any old bike together that's already been together. Or even make a new part from an old one, but made a pile of parts from scratch that all fit together and WORK together.
I don't know if you ever make it across the pond and to the meets but alot of people know my 1920 HD original paint bike that I've won many field events with the last few years and my '16 Miami that I ride around at a lot of meets. I have bikes from every decade that I purchased many years ago but may never be able to afford any more. Alas I'm not a wealthy man so I build junk out of my garage, besides have you ever saw a Pierce riding around at a meet? I've been a member since 1984 and never have.
Peace (as in piece of S***)Louie
