Default Re: Riding in the hood.

The thing about having so many er er custom features on the bike, is you really do need a fill tool kit just to go to the store. I took off to the lake again today and got home without incident so I decided to do a full tour of the neighborhood. Off I went pushing the toy chopper up and down the large hills of high point. Yes it is called that for a reason.

The custom thumb throttle screwed up close to home so I rode it home using my fingers to help out the controller. when I got home I did a couple of things that seemed to work, so off I went again. I got about two miles and out it goes again. I did a couple of things with my tool kit and it seemed to work.

When I got home and took it apart so that I could really find the culprit. The big problem lol was that I had moved the control too close to another control so that it wasn't able to seat itself correctly. No big thing but being home made the adjustment so much easier.

I would also like to report that the Transylvainia Chopper is ideal for a fat old man. Now that I have it pretty well set and running or walking in it's case, I suppose this thread my be replaced by riding in the country. One thing is the vibrations are soooo fierce I may have to go with some very old cameras since all this new stuff couldn't stand the strain.

Spring is on the way.
