yup a chinese 2smoker breaking the engine in . today got it up to around 35 ( asked a LEO friend who was runnign radar) :police: Got it up to 35 today ( radar verified ) now i need road tires. so i cna do 30ish without raping that engine O0
also need a good flashlight. ( i can jerry-rig a mount so it will function as a headlight.) riding at night is scary :nono:
bought a LED flashlight, until i can round up the $$$ to get a proper light. it works, BUT i DO need a helmet, and a way to fight off pneumonia again lol :oops:
so whats wrong with the tires on there? its the motor working not your legs? the ebay tires are designed to create minimum drag (thus traction), so your legs work less at higher speeds. I am pretty sure regular tires would provide the best rim protection(bending), not sure about handling at those speeds.
so are you going to be atgatt? most automotive accidents occur below 25mph. :laugh: dunno about bike.
wear some bike shorts.....under your clothes

Working on atgatt. broke as hell lol. got a proper headlight. 5 almost hit by cars this week alone. i tapped 2 of them with my foot while yelling, brakes suck arse at 30. gear. well, before tires. goin after a helmet, the tires are 10 years old, BUT in decent shape. main hting is well higher speeds at times, BUT mainly less rolling resistance. so WHEN i have to pedal, wont have to as much, PLUS wiht the knobbies on it, it vibrates, like well, :icon_twisted:, it kills my back. trying to remove the vibes as much as possible out of it. as soon as i can. filling the handlebars with bb's to lessen it somewhat. after i round up fundage to get a lid, ill get that, then tires
Lol it happened again tonight. another almost got hit by a car. makes 7 times now :mad: i am visible people just dont pay attn. definately getting a helmet soon lol. got a feeling ill need it. and ill dig out my mesh jacket and put it to work. just gotta be able to get into the trunk of my car :technical: :technical: ( lock is jammed )
EDIT 2 times yesterday, andonce today. involuntarily bunnyhopped onto the hood of a honda accord, twas either do that, OR hit the car at 35 mph, i said WTFH, and gave it hell, and landed n corner of hood. ( tire tracikis. Buddha Loves You complained, i gave her a choice, said, either you can let this go, OR you can call the police, and explain why YOU caused an accident, i cna come up wiht all sorts of broken crap on my bike, she let it go
Yay found my tortoise shell helmet. so im covered there. now ill get my mesh joe rocket jacket out of hte trunk of miss piggy and im set for the time being 8)

Hmmmm i overhau;led this engine in 1994 at highschool shop class. it ran then. tonight i got into my workshop and pulled it out, primed the carb, and it ran briefly, im contemplating fabing up an enigne mount, and putting this beast on a bicycle ( it is pretty clsoe visually to a 3.5 briggs engine. this one at 7k rpms runs near 14-14.5hp if i decide to use it, im repaiting shroud, and other rusty looking parts. cause it lookes like hammered shaZam! right now
