See - safety is important to Chowdah, that's why she had the local constabulary check out all the gear on her bike - to make sure it was up to local standards. Clearly the only way this could be achieved was for the local law to take this fine choppah out for a test putt. Sure enough, the cop liked it so much it qualified for temporary plates! (They were pressed for time as they got the final bolts tightened down in preparation for the annual event where they wanted to unveil the new family additions). Well, now that I knew this putt was perfectly safe - I had to give it ride myself. You know, there's just nothing like a pan bolted to a ridged frame with a belted primary to bring an idiot grin to your face - so supersize the bottom picture and see what a true grinning idiot looks like! A few months later I found a tranny and drive set up. The Shovel went back on the table and came apart quickly. I had a guy here put a new bottom end in the pan, while I was building the rest of the motor we sent the frame and sheetmetal to a kid in Topeka for the paint. Yes that's a boat trailer fender on the front now also [the wife wanted a fender] Once we got the paint back it went together real well, and my wife seems to like it a lot. More>
