Thanks! Good to be back. Sidetracked by a treefort build, blacksmithing forge, aluminum casting, poison oak, pandemic, and a downsizing at work (still in progress). Those are my excuses and I'm sticking with them. ;-)

Still, I'm quite energized by how well this beast runs. I think my next step is getting proper tires for the front instead of the castoffs from my old Accord. And then start testing it with longer and longer trips. More than the half a block at a time that I have been doing, anyway. Did I mention that I'm still excited about how well it starts and runs (and charges)? Though I'd never see the day. Thankful.
