This was supposed to be the weekend! I was planning a victory parade around the neighborhood and everything.

I finally got the mess of wiring straightened out on Friday (thanks Spokes). On Saturday I charged the new battery and put the last few pieces on the bike. Sunday morning I said a prayer to ...

Some of the US suppliers are buying their stuff from Thailand though... I noticed early on that there was some serious crap out there. The only new parts I bought for my bike were tires, air pod, tail light and cables. I've spent a lot of time cleaning, painting and polishing to keep old parts alive ...

Purple! I haven't seen a purple Dream or Benly yet.

I love seeing all the creative ways people can mess things up! The slide was not stuck because of varnish. It was stuck because someone tried to pry it out with a screwdriver. The bottom lip was gouged. I smoothed it out and it slides freely but it's only a temporary fix since the plating is gone on ...

Hi KellieLyne! Thanks for the welcome.
