A job well done there thundercougarfalconbird :D A very good looking build :!: Here's hoping the snow goes away quickly for you to give it a run out.

Yes that is one very neat and tidy build, applause goes out to you T.C.F.B !!!

That has to definitely be a head turner, comfort with economy, now who could ague with that ;).

dieselbiking at +2c

Post by thundercougarfalconbird »

as it slowly warms and melts here i had to take this creation for a drive, nice sunny day +2 c and dry black top, some minor tinkering is still required but for the most part it works well, 5th gear 3000 rpm = 120kph, 6th gear 3000 rpm = 140kph, i got to log 150km with no trouble, lol, nothing rattled off or exploded ......yet, more time and warmer days required.
I'll do what i feel.

andrew, its loud........ just right.
it runs ok, but warmer weather and summer fuel rather then winter will help power, so far so good
