Let's Ride!

After hooking up the front brake, it was time for test run!

Look Ma! No Kickstand!

Before I crash it into a curb, let's get a few pics

How do you like the reversible kickstand?

About face.

The best angle...

After I rode it, I let the Mrs. take it for a spin... she wasn't too confident... I was confident she was going to ride it into the curb, but she didn't.

All in all, it rode pretty good. It's comfortable and rides well. The throttle was pretty vague. The Tecumseh governor setup has a lot of slop so the twist throttle didn't engage until twisted about 75% around. Then by 80% it was full on. I rebent the linkage springs and that corrected the vagueness as well as giving me about another 5 or 10 mph on the top end.

Next up is a front fender, a proper kickstand and creating a foot pedal for the rear brake. Stay tuned.

Time for the details!
