looks fun. Either you weigh less than I do or your motor has a little more grunt than mine...seems like you get up to speed easier than I do.

I have my wife's little compact digicam with me today, maybe I should try videoing the ride home. not sure how much time it'll record (20min ride) and I have no idea how to mount it, lol.

Cool video Mr. Larkins ....I tried to hold the camera and ride, the streets here are so bad I gave up on that real fast. Be careful, it doesn't take much to take a fall

well, i weigh 180 lbs. and 27 mph is a bit disappointing. i've seen 36 mph when it was brand new and 33mph for the first 200miles...coming on mile 300 now and i can't break 28mph.

Thats weird, if any thing you should be increasing in speed and power. I think you have other issues.

I tried to video my ride this morning, and my camera shut off half way through, and the video file is corrupt
