Wow its been a long time. Guess I should update this.
Well after 8 months of training, my knee gave out on me. I was discharged due to medical reasons, but because of a 3 to 5 month time it takes to get medical discharge I just got a general with honors. So sadly, no extra money for me but oh well.
Well while I was gone the bike sat, and sat and sat. The engine is now gone. my brother rebuilt it and it worked, so I let him keep it and it is now a rotatiller engine. works GREAT and is way stronger than the old engine.
Now that I have a full time job and money coming in, I plan on buying a new engine, getting a thumb throttle, and a new rear rim and tire. Last thing that will happen will be paint. sandblasting the whole frame and painting it black and white. if I have the extra money it will get powder coated so hopefully I can do that.
Anyways, thanks to some of the members who watched this who actually emailed me and asked about the project, you guys made me want to start up on her again.
