Last San Diego Ride I was on they weren't very friendly and tried to block the bike path all together on one occasion.
I welcome all and any drag races as Ive not seen one of them maintain 47 MPH yet.

All from San Diego knows what I am riding, I am just wondering what is Scotto riding; Tandum, black, or blue and black? Can't wait, this will be a blast. Getting everything tightened up. Excuse me I have been drinking scotch... Scotch, scothch, scotch!
Well the ride started pretty good, the engine was bogging quite a bit. For the most part running good. Then as we got close to the freeway in the UTC area she began to run good. This lasted up to just past Solana Beach then, two broken motor mount studs. Limped her all the way home.
have some pics from the start and will post later. Time to take the kids to Chuck E Chesse first.

Ride was well after you left till we got down the road to Encinitas and the Morini exhaust start falling apart at the seems. Was a tad bit lound after the muffler fell off. We departed Carlsbad and my Cns carb decided it didn't want to hang around departed Carlsbad. I had to put that back on which caused the float to go bad again. We got down to Encinitas again and Scotto got a flat. The Morini exhaust continued to fall apart. Max was loosing power. We ended up stopping a couple more times to do adjustmets. By the time we got to the top of Torrey Pines, Max's bike was going to code. We ended up leaving him in La Jolla to get his Van. The Quadra-cycle had virtually no issues at all. I made it back to Downtown SD with some broken welds, blowby oil everywhere. But she still runs and took me to work. All in All. That was one helluva ride.

I am sad that I once again missed another one.
I never get Saturdays or Sundays off, so it will be difficult in the future too.
I really, and I mean REALLY like that quadracycle!!!
I have been contemplating building one with perhaps an EZM.
Still, a Go-Kart with pedals.....? What's the legality of that?
CVC 39000 states that a bicycle can have 4 or more wheels, but CVC 406a states that an MB can only have 2 or 3.
There has to be some sort of give here....
I really want to build one similar to the one in the photo, only having 24" rear bicycle wheels.
I do not want to build it just to have it impounded by the Sheriffs around here though.
Sorry, I'm just thinking out loud here.
Edit: Who's is it? Any info on the buildup of it?

I personally whatched that guy drive by 1 sheriff and 2 highway patrol (he even rode it on the I-5 north for a few miles) and they never gave him a second look.
I had fun meeting up with everybody there. The ride was going well till about the half way point up to Carlsbad. The engine started loosing power (about 25%). At Solano Beach I realized I had a blown head gasket. I decided to go back with BadBooh that had the broken engine mounts. We were averaging about 10 MPH for about 3 miles into the return trip when my engine seized up at idle at a stoplight. I pedaled it all the way back to the starting point with a seized engine.
This is my experience with my Raw Motors 80cc engine. In town with varying rpm's and speed the aw Motors engine does well. In a WOT for extended periods of time (Over 10 miles uninterrupted) the RAW engine starts to break down and/or seize.
I'm trying to decide if it's better to buy another complete engine or rebuild the one I have. BadBooh who is the guy that is selling the engines only for $90?

Thanks to the Lucky 7 that made it to the big ride.....here's the start
When it was all said and done, here's what I ended up with.....75.3 mi. on the GPS. This was a fairly long ride

Eventhough I did not complete the journey I had a blast while I was there. The best part was the bike limped me back home and I didn't need to peddle or call in a tow. I always have a good time on these rides and always have something to fix, or improve for the next ride. I would be happy to have another within the next month.
i was all set to go, but i promised my buddy i'd finish his bike over the weekend. i built him one before and it got stolen, so i had to get this one together so he doesn't have to pedal to work.
sounds like you guys had a good time, despite the damages. you need a really reliable bike to ride 75miles in one shot.
hopefully i'll make it down there one of these days...
