Could probably give him a run for his money....on the Mullet.

Weather's again improving for the next 2 days....all though it was 22f this morning Taking the Mullet for another spin after the Mrs. & I get back from a bit of grocery shopping...

Not too many but next door in the panhandle of ID, they can be found.

I've been blessed to see them petty regularly from my kitchen window....

Walmart's meat sux.... the Mrs. & I just Traeger'd up a coupla steaks last night from BillyBobs....petty damn tasty!

Need to ride it some more 1st, but I just visited their website & found out it has a 14amp hr. battery....& they're coming out with a bigger one yet. Weather's looking better for the next 3 days, so I'll have to ride some more on PA level 5 & maybe get a better idea on the range.

Went to their site & inquired.... it's a 750w unit from a company called Star Union. Scored a fender set as well, while I was there.

Front brake is already on the LH from stock....after I sort the electronic shifter, I'll see if I can swap the rear brake over to the left (flipping over the lever & MC)....depends on how room is left on the left side of the handlebar...it's gonna look a lot like my Mongoose...nothing on the RH side, just a place to latch onto w/ the hook. Not sure yet....still researching that.

That his pal BillyBob has a moonlighting gig?.... Actually, this is only 3 short blocks from my place & I gotta say that they sell the best damn meat around! ...& cheaper than all the big name grocery stores that are 20 miles away. All my buddies & neighbors who hunt, take their kills there to get dressed & wrapped. I'm about to pay them a visit for another 50 lbs. of burger & some steaks....my freezer is gettin' empty!

That looks like some Fun there Fred....nice report.

I was laughing the whole time I took that one.... just for your sake!

Sure was....mostly in PA levels 2 & 3. Got home & still had 86% of battery life left. Turned it up to level 5 for that last few blocks....Beast get's right w/ the program! The 750w motor really puts the power down.

Headed back down towards town....had a stop along Clark creek on the way... Decided to have a closer look @ the Grand Ronde river that runs through an RV park along the way... en route towards that.... River is pretty full from the spring run-off right now.... not to fret there Pete...just remember-- It's NOT your bike!...lol On the way home I rode up north to the end of a new subdivision where there was a field full of dozy cows...1 came over to say Hi...lol Overall, pretty happy with the improved ride quality...but noticed some shifting issues (jumping between 7th & 8th gears)...but the electronic shifter should sort that out.

Weather turned out to be quite nice this morning, so out to the garage I went w/ manual in hand. Tightened up some loose fasteners around the handlebar mounted computer & pumped the shock up just slightly as well as adjusted the damping....which equated to a big diff in the ride...all on the positive side. So I donned the Bell lid, glove & shades...then headed for the eastside back to Cemetary rd. for some nice views. Looking west....where I'll end up heading to on another occasion. 1 last view south towards Mt. Harris. Last week I put a coat of black bed-liner on the battery for protection until I hunt down a pair of fenders. I think I'll repaint that again with some Herculiner which is a rubber/urethane based bed-liner....also cover the front section of the mid-drive motor. It'll also help insulate the battery for those cold weather rides. A qwik tour through the cemetary as there was a few flowers dispensed on grave stones...probably because of Easter weekend. Looking NW towards where I live....

Sounds like something's not as tight as it should be....due to the typical vibes from a big single. My aircooled SuMo is quieter.

Billy No Mates is legendary....

Been married 3 times but have only 1 ex-wife.... Mar. 13th 1981.... Jan 20th 1988....Feb 12th 2022

The Painted Hills.... near John Day, OR

After spending this month attending to domestic maintenance.... just rode UP to the top of my steep driveway, sitting down....in 7th gear- on PA level 3. Still gotta install the electronic shifter & tighten up a few fasteners...but just about got the brake pads enbed'd. Gonna pump the shock up a bit as well. Might just have to do a ride report tomorrow.... My sore, piss-poor excuse for feet are mucho appreciative of this Beast that's an absolute blast to ride!
