First build - the journey begins

Killed the top end of rose motor at 847 miles. Tried to use the top end off a spare motor but, I think I screwed it up trying to port it.

Bought another Rose motor, arrived fast because she's local, put it on and started breaking her in today

Put a new rear tire on while I had it apart, I will probably do the front tomorrow and seal the magneto case because we've had some rain.

Going to put the skyhawk frame idea on hold and pick up two new top ends and another spare engine, just in case.

Sorry to hear about your engine problems. I hope your new engine lasts longer.

I know why....

"I cruise at 26-27mph on the stock unported jug with stock exhuast."

It's not a motorcycle.

I moved to TX right after I posted those pictures and shipped my bike to TX with me.

In transit the forks were damaged and I didn't notice right away, so I couldn't blame UPS and had to eat it.

I eventually got new forks cnc front/ rear mounts and after some problems with old gas and stupid acorn nuts installed by gremlins while I slept, shes back.
