A solemn vow. If I ever get hit by a car [knocks on wood], I promise to come back and haunt the driver until he dies from fright.

24" Wheels

Actually not. I did notice a slight (1-2 mph) speed increase, and easier riding on the rough country roads.

I plan to swap out the front fork and replace the 16" wheel with a 20" electric hub.

Next time you're at the hardware store, grab some lock washers. That'll put centexwoody's concerns to rest.

Honking

I see a big difference in a driver giving a "toot" or "toot, toot" versus giving a "hoooooooonk".

Bright Tail light
