I burned about 3 tanks of gas before mine really started running good.

It's my only means of transportation, so I don't think it will take me very long to get through three tanks. I let one of buddies ride it and he already took down a trail and through a mud hole. I love this thing.

we all love them and I'll be darned if I know why and my wife says im nuts.. why would i ride it in the cold when I have a perfectly good car. That car is on the block in a month... LOL i haven't moved it in a month and before that it was like once a week tops.

James- I wouldn't get too crazy in the mud/water/dust with your bicycle motor until you replace the air filter with something a little better.

Kinda messed up the welds but were already puttin together another motor mount that will look better and be much stronger. My buddy works at a fabrication shop and were makin up plans for a dashboard and lighting system that will include rear turn signals, tail and brake light, and a head light. Might mount the speedo somewhere on it to, or just next to it. Let me know what you think.

I've done a lot of riding in the last two days. I am amazed at the gas mileage, it's gonna take me longer than I thought to burn up three tanks. I've been asked by about a hundred people what I was ridin on and I think these things are gonna get a lot more popular. One thing that worries me a little bit is a funny squeal noise that I hear once I get goin pretty fast. It sounds like a belt squeal in a car, but there aren't any belts on this thing so I'm not sure what it is. Could it be a bearing or something? I gotta say, I LOVE MY MOTORED BIKE! Any help about the squeal would be appreciated. I don't even know where to start.
