WTF is JOG?

Yeah, they are idiots (in matters of riding motorcycles). Tell them to go out on the highway and lock up the rear wheel at 60. No clutch and no letting off the rear brake. If they live to tell you about it ask them what's in their underwear.
In a car, yes, I even did it once, but not a motorcycle. I use to race motocross and when things lock up, you usually hit the ground. (Sometimes you can pull the clutch and roll out...sometimes.) No as big a deal in the dirt without cars around you. Out on the road?? I pray it never happens to me out there.
It sounds like you need transportation. If I were in your shoes, I would confirm the easy suggestions like the flywheel bolt is not the problem. If it's not, I would buy the first $1000-$1500 used Savage I could find. You will likely be putting $1000 plus in your bike plus downtime. You will have transportation and you can then swap motors or your custom parts to build the bike you want. When you are done, you can part out the rest on here and recoup the bulk of your money. Folks on here are always looking for good seats, gas tanks, side covers, forks, engine parts, etc.
