Yup, I forgot how lonely that walk back home can really be. Yesterday I cut a tire, first one in two years. I'm too old for that kinda workout. So for breakfast, I had a new tire and tube. Now to mount it. Safe rides, fellow travelers.
I just bought a new engine stricktly on price. I think I can get it running safely. Its a big-bore 52mm with a balanced (supposedly) crank. It's advertised as an 80kph motor (about 50mph). I'm both skeptical and hopeful.
This engine will replace the PK80 on my Bayside 7spd cruiser, my daily rider. The PK80 will be my son's first build. He has a frankenbike he's been working on pretty hard. That'll get him into blue gas life.
