First Real Road Test...

[SirJoey]

Took the BullDog for her first real road test this evening.
14 miles, & I'm so outta shape, my legs felt like rubber when I got home,
even though I was using the motor as well, off & on...

Anyway, no serious probs, just one minor one. My little BullDog came loose,
flew off, & got a little road rash, so I guess I'm gonna have to can that idea.

I've tried 2 different kinds of glue so far, & neither has worked.
First time, it was Gorilla glue. That failed to hold him.

This time, it was silicone glue, which held for about the first 10 miles,
then, bummers for my little buddy, as he went sailin' & ate asphalt! :(

Now, the top of my downtube is a mess. Gotta figure something out to cover it with.

Also, wanted to find out if I could actually climb "the big hill", totally unassisted.
Actually thought I might be able to, since I've got this thing geared so low.

HA! Couldn't even scratch the surface! :eek: Even the way this thing is geared,
I couldn't pull the roughly 425 total pounds (me AND the trike)
more than about 100 feet before burning completely out!

...and "the big hill" is about 1/4 mile to the top!!! :(

So, if I ever make a grocery run on this thing, & the motor craps out on the way home,
(like it already did, once before, when it was on the CycleBully), I'm SKROOD!
"The big hill" is uphill on the way home... bummer.

Joey I bet the ride down the hill was fun though :D:D:D.Yep, that's the one where I hit 37 mph that time on the Trixter, with the CycleBully pushin' me!
This time, I just coasted, from a dead stop, no motor or pedals at all, just to see what I'd hit just coasting...

26! Yippee! :taz:
