Message: <blockquote data-quote="tfhudson" data-source="post: 85317">37 mph by the radar chronoMy Kings 70cc/ 44T, on max-inflated 26-inch street tires, with me hunkered down low and throttle wide open, clocks in at 37 mph at my nearby "Your speed" radar warning display before a sharp turn.    Coming from the other side of the turn is uphill at a pretty decent grade, with another radar warning, and I consistently clock 30mph UPHILL.  I weigh 180, and my bike weighed 29 or 30 lbs before the motor.  Funny thing is, as long as I watch out for bumps, the bike/motor felt stable at the speed.  At least till it busted the bike frame last night.  The engine leaks quite a bit fuel from... somewhere... but runs strong. I use 87 octane, which someone told me was less sensitive to humidity, and I put a little bit of isoHEET and Stabil in each tank.Oh yeah... I took off the lower part of the muffler and drilled a hole in the bottom of the pipe to let the gases flow straight through.  The sound bouncing of the pavement is probably 95dB and I have to wear earplugs, but I appreciate the fact that drivers can hear me comin. From WAY back.  Sounds like a 2-stroke Harley. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
