I finally got up the guts to go over 35mph on my Whizzer. I chickened out again at 42mph and still had more engine left. You have to understand why I am chickening out. First off I am a big guy. 300+ pounds now but the diet is working. I already lost over 30 pounds. That being said, imagine a 300lb guy on a bicycle hurtling down the road at 40mph screaming "look out". It is a scary thought especially with a coaster brake. We have all experienced the moves of oblivious drivers. I know I will not be able to stop at that speed. The second reason is I still have the scars from my youthful experiences on motorcycles. My right knee will never be the same.
On another note, I can't say enough good things about my NE upgrade from Quenton. This thing just flies. I have the rear drum brake assembly to put on but I just have not had the time yet. When I get it on then I will see what this thing can really do. Until then I will just cluck cluck along.
