would still require a battery or other form of current to run would it not? the dave plan bypasses all potential failures in the charging system for a proof of operation

Not necessarily.

Charging system yes, battery no.

I need an old bike to wrench on and curse at.

I'm just stupid giddy about it. We've already cursed at both bikes loading and unloading them.

I'll have to figure out how to load the video I took of my dad and husband trying to unload the Honda jimmy rig style. It was hilarious.

Hubby almost dropping the Honda because my dad decided it was not lined up properly and so he pulled on it....without warning my husband.

Or actually, he warned him that he was going to push...instead he pulled.

I love the look of the old bikes.

I can't wait to see them after you have them cleaned up and stuff.
