I modified the stand pipe in my oil tank last night. This morning I successfully ran my bike for about 20 minutes without any drama. A few minutes ago I took the Trump for a quick and slightly illegal trip around the block. I'm having some carb problems, probably associated with sitting for so long, but I'll get that worked out.
I do have a few quick observations.
- the hardtail makes one seat of the pants difference I didn't anticipate. It seems quite a bit quicker... Less weight maybe?
- it doesn't handle much differently than I remember. I'm a little surprised as the wheelbase is about 4 inches longer
- It's louder and more obnoxious than I remembered
- It was the most fun I've had in months!
- I can't wait to fricken finish it now

Remember the whole idea of the bobber (before Jesse James or OCC), wasto throw anything non-essential to make the bike lighter and therefore FASTER!
Be careful. Have Fun!!!
I do understand that, it just made a bigger difference than I expected it to. I'm ready to "bob" 50 lbs off myself now!
