horseman with no horse 26 #1 Posted September 29, 2023 I was so excited to get my speed horse moving after many a months of it sitting I kinda just kabobbled the thing together for testing. The second day I built it I got a little to trigger happy so to say turning the corner at high speed. I ended up getting a tank slap in my steering, tried correcting it and almost rolled the horse. Thank god I had the thought to hit my nice brakes before I rolled her. It wasn’t even till several hours later that I noticed I had severe belt burns from the lack of a belt cover/guide on the drive belt from my leg slamming on the belt. I was so thankful for not literally dying I guess I just didn’t notice. I guess it runs in the family though considering my grandpa did the same thing with his mini bike chain at my age. Even almost a complete year later I still have scars, apparently they stay with you. Lesson learned lol. I also noticed my hubs we hanging on by a thread when I got home too 🤦 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
