i rode the ditches by my house. it was probably only about 2 miles there and back.but i did jump a few driveways.i didnt even know it broke till i got home.it cracked on the motor side right where the foot peg bolts on to the frame.it will set me back but im not going to give up on the old thing!!!!

Do you think you can weld and gusset your frame? I saw a frame on ebay going for around $200.

i have at least 4 cracks i just welded on this rebuild. i made gussets and welded it back together. cracks happen on all bikes just have to get used to it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Let me know what you find out there for a gusset kit and where you got it. Sounds like a good idea.
