Of course, don't they quit working once things are drawn out "straight"?If she's really good she won't need her hands for that.
I'd imagine that not to be very satisfying
Pretty amazing results on the Mustang quarter. That's turning out to be a pretty sweet little car.
Yeah, it's got a lot of potential. I've never really liked Mustangs but I can see why guys do, I guess. This one was a really dry California car most of its life but spent a couple years outside with a car cover on it in the northwest. It didn't do the old paint any favors. My brother experimented with the roof a bit and said it looks like the staining will come off. Needs a good wet sanding and polish to really come back. Still, pretty sweet ride for a 16 year old kid. I'll be over there for work on Friday so I'll probably see the dent repair in person if the car is still at his shop.
Putter on scooters day. White bike got a new chain and knuckle busters.
Blue bike got chain and both sprockets. Rear sprocket was wasted.
New and old chain for comparison...
Both are geared 14/55 now.
I also put a high-mount front fender and hand guards on the blue one.
Planning to do a clutch replacement and install the Clarke XT tank tomorrow. Depending on how it turns out I may order one for the white bike as well.

Allllmost got it done today. Got a late start then had a 2 hour interruption to go look at a '41 Ford pickup with my dad. Got the tank mounted. It's for an XT225 so it's not a bolt-on. I cut up some hockey pucks to make some offset mount rubbers for the front to set it back about an inch. For the back I just bent the supplied bracket and used a section of small heater hose. Really, a pretty easy retrofit. My capacity went from 1.7 to 4.1 gallons.
Then I moved to the clutch. No drama beyond gasket scraping.
The only thing that kept me from finishing was that my fuel line was too short. I'll be experimenting with side covers too.

4.1 gallon fuel capacity in a TW equates to roughly 1.73 million miles of range. I foresee the onset of severe monkey butt long before you need to refuel.
