    Great setup with the bike mate! Your shoulder... Story of my life. Done all sorts of stupid things thinking all the while I am going to hurt myself bad here... Not a scratch. Walk out the back verandah, slip on the tiles, In casualty. Never really hurt myself doing stupid things, Doing innocent things no one ever tells you be careful with, bad accidents.
    Get better soon mate.

    • @DktheWelder
      @DktheWelder  День тому

      The rear wheel is so big that if it had rear suspension I wouldn’t be able to reach the ground haha. I might make a smaller rear sprocket so I get a bit more top speed 👍

    Bleeding bike calipers is always a prick so grab a cheap pressure sprayer from mitre 10 and rig it up with some hose off the end of nozzle trigger. Then you can pressurised back bleed it from the caliper bleed nipple to the MC. Works mint

    Tote Goat on Steroids. Do you know what made ATVs so dangerous? I like this bike, and for ATVs, I don't blame the trike design, but imagine in the hands of the wrong person and a rollover, and then the crushing weight? Yeah, it may have seen like a good idea at first, but buddy, I HOPE you don't suffer a serious rollover on this behemoth. Love to try it out, but I'm thinking side-mounted rollover bars for me, just to be safe.
