Rode the cb77 for the first time around the neighborhood.

[GarageRacer]

I got enough parts to finish the cb77 enough to be ridden. I had no speedometer, tachometer, or rear brake since I'm still waiting on the cables.

I probably broke no more than 30mph around the neighborhood but it felt like 50mph with that little 305cc engine.

I did learn a couple things, first, the engine still needs tuning, but that was obvious. Tuning in the garage can only go so far. Second, it's NOT a good idea to brake with just the front brakes. The brakes are rubbish and I'm pretty sure that I smoked the front brakes.

Also, I'm pretty sure the bike is more fun than my r1. It's so light and so imperfect, it's great.

Update, there was one thing that bothered me about the front brakes. It would do a pulsing with harder and lighter braking pulsing. I think it's either bad shoes, something in the drum that's lodged, or worse, the drum is somehow distorted where it isn't round.
