2012-07-12 | "Auto-darkening welding mask is a decent temporary windshield albeit a bit warm in July! Backroad rally course ends in disaster as driveshaft breaks at transmission output destroying the tunnel. I now know where the incredible vibration was coming from. Lost fuel feed line and all fuel in moonshine jug. This thing is a mess." |

2012-07-29 | "Driveshaft replaced, tunnel and misc sections of body cut out and rebuilt. Still on backroads but now it's licensed! Windshield installed - no other glass in yet. Dynamo won't carry load of all lighting. Pulls to the right. Front end hops during a tight parking turn. Another vibration (engine side I think). First real maiden voyage with any miles past 45 mph, windshield is great!!" |
