I’m at a loss for words! I located a pulse generator for a Polaris snowmobile that I shoved inside this contraption and reached out to Joel for a new used flywheel. Here’s the loss for words part. Approximately a day before ordering the flywheel, I ordered a new jacket from a company in Seattle. The jacket is yet to arrive, but an engraved flywheel and a bottle of fine German beer arrived via UPS today from Joel in Germany….ENGRAVED…he engraved the flywheel with my name on it! As if, in 500 years when this bike is discovered in some dystopian Mad Max type scenario, they’ll hang the flywheel on a wall in a cave and worship the legend of the man that once rode it.
As a side note…this ridiculous bike runs…not well, but it runs. This winter I’ll be tearing it down to its bare bones for a rebuild, but for today it runs with a case full of milky oil. Hats off to Bergdoktor, whom I’ll be ordering all my bike parts from in the future.
Did I mention that the price was incredibly reasonable?? Thanks so much!
