Nice bike Zombie, Have you taken it out for a whirl yet!

[TelecomZombie]

Bike is great in the inner core of the city, Torques away from cars @ lights & keeps up with them in the stop & go traffic. Looked like a number of people ( Porsche & Z350 owners) were miffed & perhaps a little pissed that this cycle was passing them constantly.:devil:

This bike is temporary as its low end & l plan likely to modify it for greater speeds later.
Need to find a dealer for the new High end Schwinns with drive shafts as l won't buy something as personal & longterm as this off the internet.
Particularly interested in the esoteric CONTINENTAL (drive shaft) or more likely the WORLD or CAMPUS for ease of maintenance.

Hope the Training Wheels can come off before l head off to the beach!! :rolleyes: Yes l Love bugs in my teeth!:hehehe:

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Pepsi l've ridden bikes on & off road, on frozen Lake Ontario with studs for years & there is a difference in performance with starting take offs & up Hills!

Looking at pics from your link l noticed the exhaust pipe likely would be resting on your leg & the open chain is a serious safety hazard. Gas Stations would be within their legal right to refuse service. Internal combustion engine is totally illegal except back on the farm. My Ebikes are Street Legal .
lnteresting but No Thanks
