Honda Dream Machine Event

FINALLY! I did the first trek to work on the Dreamcycle. Three miles of sidewalk, crosswalks, city streets and residential cut-throughs. It wasn't as hard as I feared and only took twenty to thirty minutes. I entered it into the Honda Dream Machine event, an event for Honda workers to display their custom cars, classics, and anything and everything they have worked on. Those Honda gear heads are really into cars! (and motorcycles). They appreciated the uniqueness and effort involved in the Dreamcycle.
 Off to the races! Er...display circle.



I scraped a wall next to the sidewalk on the way home and broke the connection of the tie rods to the steering wheel. Pushed it back in and went on. It would fall out.... repeat. Only had a half mile to go so I made it. Screwed it back together the next day.
I discovered through this journey, by the excessive tire wear, that the wheels are not aligned straight. The tie rod that I need to adjust seems to be stubborn and I will have to buy a vice grip to turn the tie rod so that it adjusts its length by threading into the end adjust nuts.
