It's a long story, but the short of it is that my regular SUV got abandoned in Georgia, just south of Valdosta. Because of this, I have had to postpone a new job that I was supposed to start and was decidedly going to return to work either on foot or riding a bicycle. But the gears began to spin and I really don't wish to try to save for another vehicle. It would just take me all winter and let's face it, it gets pretty cold riding a bicycle in the winter.
So, I quickly put the 2 stroke kit on my mountain bike, that I had bought for just such a thing. I had been without transportation the whole summer and thought that having a motorized bike would be a backup for if my vehicle ever broke down. I have to be independent and don't have alternatives to rely upon so this was my concept of a backup plan.
So I have decided to drive the motorized bike 730 miles towing a small trailer with my supplies. I have to replace the radiator in this vehicle and bring along the necessary tools and maybe a backpack with my own personal stuff.
The maps say it would take 3 days, however I know it should take more. (I don't think they accounted for sleeping)
Anyway, I wanted to hear from experienced builders and those who have put hours on their engines of what I could expect from the performance and longevity of the engine and chain drive.
