Still a work in progress some of the more notable designs I put on is the crossed out swastika with the caption “Fuck You Nazis bastards, a Jolly Roger with the caption “Be gone ye fascist bilgerats” and protector of neurodivergent folk. yes the born to kill and peace sign is a reference to full metal jacket, my cousin always calls me private joker.

I’m definitely a more than a bit punk, left, not trusting of authority, do not like maga/racist/nazis at all. My music taste I. That genre is a bit limited, and due to autism and PTSD it’s difficult for me to go to shows due to easily being overloaded. I’ve been trying to add more a punk look to my bike and helmet , kinda like a battle jacket you can ride.

Submission statement: it rained heavily for 2 days on end including a derecho that blew through, my area is under a flash flood warning, Delaware county is under a flash flood emergency with massive flooding in Muncie. Mississwana river has about burst its banks. Might tomorrow as there’s supposed to be more rainfall. Some areas got a 1 in 1000 year rainfall event. These 1-1000 year blood events might be twice a year if this keeps up

When I get paid next week, things I am ordering: CDHpower 10 gauge rear wheel, a new 44 tooth with CNC milled hub adaptor, and a 415hd chain. I already added a ngk br8hs spark plug, and an expansion chamber. Will make sure the wheel/sprocket is better aligned too, and master links are in the right direction.

Lasted about 100 miles, punched the throttle, and snaparoo went the chain, cut the engine and pedaled it back home, going to order a gold 420 chain when I order the new heavy duty wheel next week.

No really most of the time I don’t like dogs at all, even kinda fought with one when it went after me on my bike yesterday this dog is sweet

It started as a little pop up shower, when I got too my turnaround point (the graveyard) it started strengthening, forming a inflow tail and rotation. I admit I hung around a bit long taking pictures, but I booked it outta there when it was clear it was coming my way, I looked behind me once I was about 4 miles away to see a very prominent wall cloud drop down with plenty of lightning. Yeah Indiana weather keeps ya on your toes.

It started as a pop up shower, then when I got to the graveyard it formed a inflow tail, sky got turbulent with rotation, so I booked it on outta there, I look behind me to see a nice little wall cloud form. I literally ran from it on a bicycle with a chainsaw engine attached too it, the last vehicle I want to be caught in a storm on

Seems happiest at about 17- 20mph, full throttle I’ve gotten it to 26, it’s still being broken in so I’m not running it wide open for long, just occasional pulls here and there. It’s definitely starting to break in though, has slightly more power than when I started it.

Working on my back wheel first, CNC hub adapter for sprocket, and a 10 gauge spoke heavy duty wheel. Tires will either be schwalbe , kenda, or Michelin e bike tires.

Submission statement:a sign of poor environmental health, a lack of insects, I would have had to wear googles 20 years ago due to all the bugs, now there was hardly any, only had a few flying queen ants on me and that was it, no clouds of any bug, cicadas are much quieter (noticed when I stopped and shut off bike). Definitely going to make more runs this weekend and take more looks.

Swapped back to the regular seat, gives it a bobber look.

What I’m going to do is seal the outside in epoxy save for the lid and secure it to my motorbike I built so I can have water for when I’m out riding.

Edit: the monster in it definitely was my morning caffeine, you gotta love having to get up at 4 am for work lol

I’m making some improvements to it, starting on the tires, what are some good heavy duty tires that I can put on this, ideally 26x2.215, also going to change those rims to 10 gauge spoke heavy duty ones.

Had to get it where the drive chain was not slipping off, had issues with it rubbing the frame, took it on a pedal only run and the chain stayed on

36t rear sprocket, a slightly upgraded LD80 China doll 66 cc two stroke, and a 4L tank for longer range.

Upgrades to be made: mz65 clone expansion chamber exhaust, springer fork, disc break, and upgraded wheels (12 gauge spokes) a quick little moterized bike is made to explore the desolate backroads of my area, searching for cool treasures and liminal spaces. Ridden by my eccentric crazy ass no less.
