Test flight Pepto-Pink
Den, No insult was taken, infact I want to thank-you, I mean, yeah I felt like the family I spoke of in an earlier thread that bought a $56,000.00 house in a $10,000 neighborhood, bankrupt!!, but then my moment was interupted by the thought of; Well let me finish this thing, and see what these clone engines are all about", well I went out in the drive and tightened up the chain, put in the oil, gave it a half of a tank of gas, and then told my friend Rob-dog to push it down into the street for a test flight, I pointed out the kill switch, twist grip and brakes, I instructed him to be easy on the gas, cause I knew nothing about how this clone was going to act, I am happy to report that this china doll fired on the first pull, stalled but the second pull, just a little rev, and you could tell that this bike was dangerous!!! Rob-dog goes about 200 lbs, he just cracked the throttle and the front wheel was trying to pop a wheelie, so he put his feet behind the bike, to act as wheelie bars, I let him ride it for about 25 minutes, then a friend "Ray" came along and rode it up and down the street a few times, had to tighten the chain, but after I tightened the chain, I'm like, Heck I built the bike, I should ride it too!, I pushed it out in the street, nervously fired it up, and hopped aboard. This is no kids toy!!!!! I couldn't even think of doing like Crazy Mike did, he hopped aboard and floored it, needless to say the peptobismal pink bike got it's first couple of scratches, and mikey ended up on his ass! I couldn't stop laughing long enuff to care that he just dumpped my new bike, anyway Den35, thanks alot, without your low ball on the price, I'd still be a wondering the value, now I know it, that's at least $800.00 worth of fun, deffinatly not for a kid, and probably should have wheelie bars attached to the rear end, I think I'll be finishing 2 or 3 more bikes in the next few days, then since I live close to Hartville, home of the world's largest flee market, and a spot only cost $10.00, I'll load my completed bikes in the van and spend the day in Hartville, Ohio.
