At last, got this cute little baby ring... should have this monster on the road tomorrow.
Thanks Raf!

Just working on some if the mechanical stuff...
Moving the motor back.
Making cutting boards, etc.

Did ride it around the block yesterday though, pretty darn nice for a super heavy rider
Oh yeah, got the tire brake working... needs a bit of tweaking.
This is a flat land only bike!!

So here's a bit of the mechanical set up on the grill. Two spits turn, driven either by the sprocket on the wheel or by a motor.
Obviously it's mostly run by the motor, unless we're in a parade or somewhere where riding around and roasting a pig makes sense...

It's a prepper bike, can use it to cook dinner while scavenging.

This a REAL Bug Out Bike!

I'm just amazed at what was used for materials, the degree of workmanship, and the beauty of the finished product.

 

[Jaypem]

Thanks guys!
It's funny to be toiling away over here while the build off is going on...but I don't think I'll be able to give my BO bike the attention it deserves until this one is done.

 

[Jaypem]

Had to change the tail light...

You are very skilled and this is an amazing bike. Wish I could eat some pulled pork for it.

Got a few things done on the Asado today. A wood shelf on the front with a lid over the tool box.
I'll do a pan rack underneath opposite the tool box.

Putting the motor on the back helped the weight distribution, but the sprocket is extended way out...so I'm putting a small cutting board over it and I'll build a shroud to cover the chain next.
(Can never have enough cutting boards or beer holders on a BBQ.. )

Looking good .

 

[Jaypem]

Looking good .

Thanks Raf...the small chain ring rocks. I really like that cycletruck gearing. There's really no need to change gears on a rig like this, it's all about going super slow, chatting with people etc...this bike has no business being anywhere near a hill...going up or coming down

Made a bolt on sign for the side of the BBQ.
Just had dinner with my sign painter who will get the sign tomorrow and try to make magic happen before next Thursday

Gotta get a weight on that rig when complete!

 

[SILVERKINGPC]

Yea, and make sure a roasting pig is inside before doing so..

 

[Jaypem]

Yep!
I'm not known for making them light...
It's going to get heavier still...

Pulled this image of the interwebs...grill I made for a chef.
This thing has hundreds of pounds of fire brick in it.
Uses a fork lift to load it on the trailer
