Thanks, y'all! Yeah, it's a total hoot to ride, though the seat is a bit firm... but hey, you don't build a bike like this for comfort! :D

Congratulations!!! :laugh:

Was it a nice feeling driving it the first time?
Seems like the old man liked to sit on it, maybe he is used to drive bikes?

So now you have to start a new project, so we can sit and look for ideas and solutions on things! :cheer:

Oh yeah! Well, you know... it's thrilling, but you're constantly listening for the clank and tinkle of parts hitting the road behind you. :P

He still does!

Hahaha! After it gets too cold to ride, I'll stop tweaking on this and get back to building guitars and amplifiers!

I made an end cap for my Kerker out of a peanut can, plus fixed a couple of exhaust leaks at the head.

I made the same kind of silencers for my car. There was no way I was paying the going rate for these. I used soup cans that worked perfectly. Also, you can change the hole size to get the sound you like.
