Was happy to get off work early today so I can go for a ride on this beautiful day. Only to realize the only fuel I have is whats in the carb and fuel filter. My gas can is also empty so its off to the gas station.

.wee.

I used to haul my 5 gallon tank on a little trailer that I made for my motorbike

Have a trailer but I have not used it in a very long time. I find the rack just as useful for me. I take it off when its not needed; there is only four bolts that hold it on and taking it on and off only takes a minute.

Nope I made it, but it was real close ;)
 
HA!
That must be about a minute or more worth of fuel, I know that because I am a pro at forgetting to turn my fuel valve back on.
It may get you to the gas station, providing it's about a minute or more away.

It's the 'or more' part, that's the clinker.

Chevron is .5 miles according to google, but thats the long way going around the neighborhood. Much faster and shorter to just go down the alley then cut through the apartment complex.
 
That's kinda funny Dave as I ran outta gas last thursday while getting lunch on my new cruiser commuter......at 1am! When I got off work at 5:30am I had to pedal 2 blocks to ARCO and fill up. No big deal as my 4-stroke needs no premix so I just pull up to the pump. The beauty of the 4-stroke.....

When I get around to adding the caliper to it, it will be the rear brake (that's attached to the jack shaft). A powerful placement for a stopper.

I was thinking that, even though it is the first time I ever saw it (on a motorized bicycle), but I was unsure because I saw no caliper.

Wasn't installed, thanks.

Yeah, I like running a smaller rotor like this one pictured on my race bike.....that 160mm rotor just looks like krap to me and doesn't need to be near that large for this application....
