I put my new tires on today and then it started snowing!  I love the snow!  Like I need an excuse to burn some gas.  Took the bike down to the neighbor's field.  The new tire hooks up pretty good in the grass and dirt and mud over there.  I had to get a couple pics in the daylight.


I love presents!

Great look'n bike matzilla  :-D.. I absolutely love the "honda haul" solution, and i definately plan to employ the idea.. Now if i could save my tire and adapt some sort of training wheel / d.o.t tire combo, i'd hope the law couldnt say anything  :wink:. Is the solution legal in your state? Ive been brainstorming a roof top hauler for my honda prelude, but im thinking your idea is better and less work.. I have no truck anymore, and only the prelude to work with.. Thx, nice job!

IcemanK5:
I like the way she turned out.

matzilla:
Thanks! I am happy with my results so far. Just ordered a bunch of stuff.  The Vapor computer, the PTEnduro mount, frame guards, another chain and new sprockets.  Deciced to go to the 14 up front. Came with a 13, I bought a 15, don't like the 15 on our trails.  Don't like the chain rubbing the case either.  Decided to go stock front and a steel 50 out back.  Also got some new knee and elbow pads. Like Christmas in January!

As for the Honda Haul, I don't know if it is legal or not.  I figure I was lucky not to have caught the eye of johnny law.  You can probably get a hitch setup for your prelude, and find an inexpensive light weight bike trailer.  I am looking in that direction myself.  I won't be able to buy a truck till I am done paying spousal support.

IcemanK5:
I think you will like the 14 up front and the 50 out back.
I run that set up on mine...works out real nice.
