I turn wrenches on all my vehicles from the 1946 Studebaker M5 with a SBC 355 to my wife's 2012 Denali. I've been turning wrenches since I was about 14 helping my father and friends.

Both of my older brothers put lawn mower engines on their bicycles when they were 12 and 16 years old.
After Dad tested them in an empty warehouse parking lot on a Sunday, and when he found they'd go 40 mph, he told 'em to rig it up to a governor.
 
I remember putting suicide forks on my first bicycle. Two pieces of pipe hammered on over the front forks then beat flat on the outer end and drilled for the front axle bolts. Good times. My first chopper.
I remember doing this alot .
Banana seat on my chopper ;)
