We still have the reeded motor on a bike in the shop. Dean trimmed the piston and added a couple more intake ports. It's a pretty strong running motor but it doesn't compare to our new set-ups.

AH, I was wondering what happened to that engine. Sounds like Dean is one of the guys from the neighborhood. One of the things that the China dolls will never do is rev. OK just wondering, I still wish you guys were closer, I would like to come by the shop. Have fun Dave

Are you going for a 4-stroke rack mount Easy? Wioth a NuVinci Hub? BTW I use those Armadillos and they are a great tyre. They're a rubber compound tread on kevlar walls. Great on corners. That frame looks like it will be a comfortable and fast ride.

The Bike passed the test today! I rode a minimum of 40+ miles in the Mojave Desert. The bike held up great under the all the stess of all the potholes, bumps, hills, sand and rough terrain. I was impressed how well the bike performed with a 47 tooth sproket and how strong the engine ran in 100+ degree weather.

I forgot to mention that even though I was in the land of thorns and lots of tire piercing objects...I didn't get one flat. Those Specialized Armadillo Tires with-stood all the thorns I pulled out of the tires.

And look...No Exhaust or head leaks!!

It was great not to worry about breaking down or power lost due to heat.

In case anyone was wondering...YES, I was wearing shorts and no inside of the thigh or leg burns!
