 Re: what's an old hippie to do..
After last night's debacle with the chain and gas line, I'm looking forward to the weed eater engine and build. I guess because I started with electric friction drive, i like the simplicity of it.
If I get it working as i hope to, then the Captain America bike is out of here. I have had offers for what I have in her. which is next to nothing compared to a scooter, I will probably let it roll out of the showroom so to speak.
It is fun and challenging for sure. Actually my worst nightmare turned out not to be so bad. The rear wheel locked up and the bike went into a death skid but was controllable. It could have been worse.
I'm going to put a different wheel on her and then ride it of course, but I'm also going BTTW on the friction drive when it arrives.
Since I have no idea that I can actually make the friction drive work, I'm going to order a half link for the bike chain this very minute. |
