updates!?! Spring semester is almost over!

Just wanted to give an update:
I have been riding almost every day since new years (minus rain days) with zero problems. The thing kicks off great and just a blast to commute with. I estimate around 1500 miles on it so I will be changing the oil soon and will report back.

I'm actually watching radicalnegative's build pretty closely to see how his tu...
