Tied mine down, extra bungees on the cover as it was blowing 50-55 knots... hoping for a few days of nice weather before i head for Arizona

I rode to Walmart this afternoon trying to get a feel for this Bighorn knock- off tire on the road. On the way home the road in the neighborhood was blocked. Guy told me his puppy was loose and they were trying to keep him from getting run over. I rode down to see if i could help herd.
I had to keep jumping the curb, crawling over irrigation culverts and in between orange trees in this little green belt. I thought i was on Repsol Honda for a minute. It was a hoot. I think a few were wondering if i was going to get stuck.
After showing off for a few minutes i went and got my dog
Told her to catch the doggy. Took all of 15 seconds. Turns out they had been at it over 30.

We used to file the stops on our police bikes to turn sharper. I never found a down side to it. I could do 360s inside a 14' circle on my 1000!

I didnt read through to the end but that spacer is important. I played with different lengths and if you torque your axle nut properly, it will set that gap on the brake drum. I machined my spacer out of aluminum and set the gap perfect. I made a delrin bushing to center the spacer in the tube. I can wiggle it back and forth if needed. A little bit of a pain boring a 17mm hole that long but not too bad.

Amazed such a cheap bike came out with electric start.
