Got the lil dog out for a walk yesterday . Oh man!! Its not any slower thats for sure! It lit right up and ran great! Way better than it did at 80 degrees last time.. It was in the 60,s here yesterday so i made some notes for future jet changes as its gonna need leaned up in the summer less dense air. No studders like in the warmer air. That could also just be a needle movement? Interesting putt on the mutt for sure.. First i saw a hawk on the fence so i stopped on the shoulder and let the engine warm while the hawk and I checked each other out. I woulda swore that engine would scare him away but it just seemed to draw him/her in closer for a better view. Thats what caught my eye to begin with.. I was turning onto the street as the hawk landed and just stared at me. I thought "yeah, soon as i stop its gone" but nope. Just stood there cocking its head and looking/listening to the 2T. First couple times i got on it at low speeds it just spun.. I went with it the second time and it was cool until i was crossed up and it wanted to go in the neighbors yard  It wants to go straight! If you have it pointed straight at the neighbor, its gonna go there! Thankfully it didnt and i got it back were i needed it.. Erica didnt ride yesterday.. She didnt feel to well with a sinus headache. I need to check out the front end and headtube. Seems like its developed some slop. All else is well!  |

Probably but i havent seen any.. Im sure people, many people have talked around the bench about this idea.. In fact i know they have. Heard many stories at the track from people looking at it. Talking it out and actually building one are two separate things. One talks, the other builds. John is a true building/manufacturing wizz. Takes a life of builds to acquire that kinda skill to this. Cant wait to show what it can really do the way it is!!! Then maybe a better pipe? Bigger bore? A Stroker YZ125 base would be nasty but they cost way too much! There is plenty left in this lil Beagle, its just getting it all to the ground thats the task  |

I don't think it's the way to go at this level, but it would make an amazing pic to see Snoopy wrinkling up a slick attached with bead locks.  |
