My freinds mini bike had a brake like that in the 1970s, Rear wheel had a plate that rubbed the wheel

Is there a drip valve for the engine?
Great machine, but I'd update the brakes.

This is going to be my senior project in machine shop.

"Franklin" coal as you described is not at all hard to come by these days. Coal burning stoves are very popular today and coal is very easy to aquire. Go to your local farm supply store or wood burning stove outlet and you will likely find pallets of coal right there waiting for you in 40 lb bags. You want "rice" coal, that would be the modern equivalent of "Franklin" coal.

60 mph in those days? And I read he was 77, I'd say the adrenaline got to him and the heart attack came before the crash. Still, a manly way to meet your end, IMHO.
