Hey everyone,
I recently decided to get a bicycle, and as I started looking around, the thought of having a motorized bike of some form seemed interesting. While visiting my brother-in-law in Tuscon, I saw some people riding 2-stroke kits on these beach-cruiser bikes and a few days later I drove to Bisbee to visit SpookyToothCycles.com's headquarters. The town itself is crazy, it's next to an old pit mine and it's up in some mountains. I got the Dresser Chrome kit (or so I thought) and when I got home I found out they gave me a Dresser Black. Oh well, but I'm coming to like the black look anyways, and they gave me a free speedometer to make up for it.
My brother-in-law put the kit together and a day later I was cruising around doing the break-in. Slowly but surely the bike has gotten faster, and now that I got it back to my hometown of Las Cruces, I've been riding everywhere. I bought a storage container for the back off Amazon and it rocks. I also got some gloves ($5) at walmart that have the fingers cut off, and a killer AGV Blade helmet ($99) that keeps me from eating bugs all the time.
After four days of trouble-shooting a high-speed power loss problem, I found out the motor mounts were loose and after fixing, I'm cruising at a steady 31mph!
I had my first dog chase the other day and nearly pissed my pants as this doberman got right up on me, but I gunned it and laughed as he ate dust.
I bought a Bell light b/c people said the expensive LED lights suck arse, and the Bell light is bright as **** but it eats batteries like I eat jalapenos.
Anyhow, this is long enough, so here's my "HELLO WORLD" from Las Cruces.
