I’m glad the old shovel is running better with the brakes.
My bike now has 300 trouble-free miles on it since spring. That may not sounds like a lot but it sure gave me ‘trouble’ this spring. It’s running nice and we have a good relationship now. More miles to come!

My son has zero common sense but hopefully by time hes old enough to ride, especially on the road, hell gain some.
I hear ya man! Its good to get the kinks ironed out and enjoy them. Even more of a win when youve been fighting it and now its running and riding.

Over the many years a pile of kids showed up at the shop and asked me to teach them how to ride a small dirt bike 80cc
i agreed but - we have a 75 toot hill paved what the call tar and pebbles and 30 degrees angle - so its kind of slippery with the loose gravel
what they dont know anything about is stopping and foot control - so they are allowed to ride it up the hill but no motor coming down - if you put your foot down you have to push it up the hill and no engine coming down - that’s the deal if you want to learn - we bring water and a chair it takes a while for some but the pushing the bike up the hill is the teacher not me
