Synopsis of the Cafe crowd so far
Hell, we can do her! Jack the fender up, bend her open some wid a pair of 2x4's, do a chain drive conversion and make up any remaining distance with a beltsander on the tire.
(might piss off the wie-shung guardian spirit cat-thing a might on that last one. Pissing off things that keep razor blades on their toes and that shoot yellow fire out of their eyes might not be such a good idea. Maybe if we give it a bowl of cream and politely explain we are respectfully increasing the cornering radius to save the lives of small dragons everywhere it might be merciful to us. I sure don't want it riding around on my pillion seat all pissed off at me!)

PS -- this was really 'way too easy, you didn't even have to think about it very much to tell me how to go about doing it. Now that somebody said "chain drive conversion" there is apparently a lot of extra room to play with as the chain takes up a lot less room than the belt and pullies did.
Now I gotta go find a bigger tire to keep things interesting. Sluggo and the bobber crew deserve nothing less than the very best efforts out of you guys.
