Seek immediate medical attention if you suddenly go either deaf or blind.
If you put the Federal Government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years time there would be a shortage of sand.

He turned 3 in July so he is doing well with the training wheels, next step is take them off and let that PW50 go. We have country and lake land for him to ride on so that is great.
I am in the middle of building a mini-chopper, 200cc Lifan engine, aluminum springer forks, hard tail frame and Harley tank. I should have used a Briggs/Stratton V-twin engine but next time.

LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES.
You need to practice a little Shock And Awe because for the most part motorists won't see you. Their brains are calibrated to see cars, bikes just don't register. The trick is to ride like they're all tryin' to kill you because that's close enough to the truth. It helps to ride fast enough that you don't have to worry about anything sneakin' up behind you (anything without a siren and a light bar, anyway
) then obey a short list of Rules to Live By.It's not possible to underestimate the intelligence of today's motorists. Someone pulls a dumb move that could kill me every time I ride. If they drive dumb and I ride dumb I'm not just screwed, I might not live to tell about it.
I believe in this and it's tested by research...

Love those Harleys!
Back in the early 70's I built a chopper using a '56 panhead motor, rigid frame, and springer front end with a little Honda 60 wheel on it . In those days I knew this guy with a Vincent Black Shadow built in 50's IIRC. He had this monkey that would ride the bike with him. I rode on the back of the bike once at about 80-90 mph and the thing I remember the most was how quiet and balanced it was. There was almost no vibration. I really did feel like it was the Rolls-Royce of cycles. One day I showed up and the tank on the bike was all bashed in. Apparently the monkey got pissed off about something and took a spanner wrench to the tank!
