Had a most wonderful record ride today. 88 miles. Mountains, farms, streams, lakes, rivers, cows, birds, goats and an ostrich!
A very nice 1st Anniversary ride.
Virtual Pretend Bike Journey:
Success. Just crossed the Texas border in New Mexico on I-10.
If I go via I-40 just made it into Arizona from New Mexico.

The only way to travel... on a sunny day. Fillerup with 32 Cents. Found a nickle on the ground so it actually only cost me 27 cents. Full throttle gives 26-28 miles per wee-little tank.

Update: Oct 1, 2009 : 35 cents to fill up with premium.

ANNIVERSARY !
June 25, 2007 Installed the Kit
June 26, 2007 Had my first ride!
I will give my one year analysis shortly.
Concerning my VPBJ Virtual Pretend Bike Journey, I have discovered if I qwirk back in time and take I-40 versus I-10, I can say that I crossed Oklahoma, Texas, and almost across New Mexico to Arizona.
I-10 has me running up the border of Texas towards El Paso.
Was hoping to make it to San Diego but my 50 day hospital/recovery furlough slowed the plan down.
So today in honor of One Year Anniversary from the First Ride, I shall venture out on my Golden Eagle Bike Engine Kit Bicycle and enjoy!
Current mileage: 2222 miles. (actually 2,223 but 2222 sounds better.)

Tank modification : Almost One Year Anniversary! 2200 Miles!
Working on modifying the gas tank so the air pressure will leave allowing an easier way to fill it up at the station.
Now the rear of the bike needs lifted for the trapped air bubbles to come out. Then the tank can be filled.
I found a package of 6 squirt guns for $1.00 at walmart. The plug used to hold water inside the playgun is what I used for the back of the engine gas tank. It worked.

Great Ride ... Broken Spring ... 2100 Miles
2144 Miles on the Golden Eagle Bike Engine.
Way out in the country the belt quit working. I looked down and it was not broken but was loose.
I stopped and saw the tension lever flapping. It turns out the spring which holds the lever had broken. I took a bungee cord and looped and pulled the lever towards the seat. This worked. Very glad because I was miles from help and no cellphone signal.
Don't know why the spring broke. You can see the connector hole at the bottom of the lever. Also you can see that the top of the spring, the part with the hook, is missing.
Great ride though! In my Virtual Pretend Bike Journey I am now at the west border of Texas!
