98... Looked like no lubes at all to me. Maybe WD-40? Open primary. Looked like a couple flanges busted off so primary case was a no- go. Blew outta there and on the highway. Motor did sound good and strong, though. Fired right up. But everything was well on the way to a full blown rat bike.

 

Time for open belt drive conversion?

 

I'm still working through the description of this bike as "semi-rat".

Looks full rat from here.

I also wonder what chain tensioner he had on it that exploded. I suspect it may have been last week's skateboard wheel.

 

I suppose ya wouldn't want to ride with that guy, his bike wouldn't make it through a 100 mile day of bar hopping...

 

Can we talk about that machete on the side? That is great (the fix and the machete).

 

be cooler if it was a "Howdah" Pistol...
