Tire Bloom Solution




   Hot Wheels has a very special tire size on the front that doesn't seem to be available anywhere anymore. It is a 70/70-15. So far, other than the bloom, the tires are in overall okay shape, if not slightly poor, but if possible it is probably best to keep the originals healthy and strong for as long as possible. 
   It has had some tire bloom on it since it came in- and there might finally be a solution! Enter: Weathered Membrane Cleaner! Results may vary... Time will tell how long this lasts! 
   Very exciting to have black tires to match the black bike again! If anyone has tried any other products and had success, or has any other bits, feel free to comment!

High Score! New Official Top Speed!

   Hot Wheels was ready for some major action after being out of commission for its most recent repairs. It's running better than ever! The performance improved so much, that Hot Wheels was able to reach a higher speed than ever before, topping out at about 55 mph this time! Too bad there was a cop, because it might have even had a little further to go! For a show that exciting, Hot Wheels deserved a VIP parking spot at its destination!

   Some of you might have noticed that other mini-chopper that seems to like to hang out with Hot Wheels! That's Goldie! Goldie is a Diablo 125cc mini-chopper.    Goldie came from a friend, who got it from a different friend in the group who passed away a while back. Originally, legend has it that this chopper was discovered in a man's shed, next to a few others, each with its own different theme.     Goldie needed a lot of work as well when it came in. The front forks were completely shot as far as the finish was concerned, and the chain kept popping because it wasn't assembled correctly at the axle- it never had a spacer it was supposed to get.    After the basic routine maintenance, some major cleanup, ironing out all the mechanical and wiring kinks, it was time to add the headlight, paint it up, and take it to Bike Week!     Wait, no, of course not. This thing doesn't have a clutch! Goldie was born to have a suicide shifter...
