Adventures in Motorized Bicycling
What's The Big Idea?
Nothing special, really...this little site will be my home-base as i embark on my new life astride a Motorized Bicycle.
Updated 01-02-2010
Hello, I'm Augie Deabler, I'm 52 years old, and early-retired due to disability. I've enjoyed a fun 3-year "career" promoting Motorized Bicycling, thru running a couple internet forums & organizing a few events. Some of that went very well, some of it not so good, but all of it was fun...and I'm proud to have played a positive part in the early growth of this unique motorsport.
In the process, I learned a lot...and as my own idea of a Motorized Bicycle began to "build itself" in my shop, I realized what I was looking at...a bike built for The Road, the Long Haul.
Did You Know? The first motor vehicle (of any kind) to cross the nation coast-to-coast was a Motorized Bicycle, ridden by George Wyman in 1903.
I'm not seeking notoriety for myself, but I DO admit I love showing off the motoredbike...while I have a personal relationship & professional affiliation with Golden Eagle Bike Engines, this site doesn't have any sales content or commercial links. It's not a how-to guide, but a way to let people know how i'm doing and where I'm at.
I plan to make use of as much federal & state camping as I can, and I'm also going to try and "collect" race tracks...talk my way in for a lap (& a pic) wherever I can.

What's Next?
I'm currently in Ocean Park WA, but come spring my permanent home is the saddle.
I have most of the winter to tinker & build, tie up some loose ends & meet some obligations.
My first "destination" will be Michigan & the home of Golden Eagle Bike Engines...and all points in between, email me augidog@mb-rambler.mysite.com if you're anywhere along the general route and would like to clink beers.
Stay tuned for more details & an eventual map.
Shakedown Run to The Volcano
Aug 17-19 I took a jaunt to Mount St Helens, to test both the bike and myself...
Tho we both were taxed to our limits, we made that awesome 3-day 300-mile grind, and lived to ride again.
