My first bike failure...It had to happen sometime I guess...lol.

One of my bikes, the brakes are just scary. I need to upgrade the brakes. The other, just doesn't wanna go over 20 mph unless there is wind pushing me. Zeda Firestorm 80 too. 99% sure it is due to my intake being pure crap. Gotta get that fixed ASAP. I might just buy a brand new bike with a MB reputation for my Zeda Firestorm.

Nope, i won't be getting to this until Monday morning...My Buddy from White Sands Missile Testing Range tells me he's got some "doo-hickies" so i don't even have to pull the motor off the bike to do the "easy out" routine...I told him I doubt that...He tells me he is gonna make a believer out of me...lol...DAMIEN

If hes a mechanic he might have a doo- hickey to get it out!!!

Tell you what... I am the Jinksies. I was at a BMX race last year and brushed up against a world #1 rider that day, an olympic Gold Medalist. I was teasing my daughter who races that I got so and so's sweat on me, giggle giggle. She says ah crap, no. You got your bad luck on him. He crashed the next race... just sayin.

He is...He can actually make parts from scratch if needed when they are not readily available on some of his military drones he gets to play with...lol.

I told you I was scared to go faster than 20 MPH on that bike. You said something must be wrong with me or my speedometer. I said no I am scared of my brakes.

I was scared crapless just putt putting around on it in the parking lot, using my boots to stop me...lol.

Ps...It's nice to "go" but it's even nicer to be able to "stop"

Lol you should ride my bike (Sparesbrook) its rim brakes only. It gets dicey from time to time.

I am making it sound worse than it is. I have stock caliper rim brakes on my Walmart Bayside. You gotta pull the heck out of them for them to work. I think Damien is just spoiled by his disc brakes.

However, I do have disc brake adapters that just came in for that bike. I held off on installing them so I had two bikes for today.

This weekend, Bayside brake upgrade with pics and finally (maybe) tearing apart an old engine to send pics to Karl Snarl.

You held off only because you wanted to see me leaving "racing stripes" in my undies...lol...lol.
