I snagged that liner from the 500. The rings were still in it and the piston is melted against the bore. Anyhow, anybody have an opinion on my '85 frame I got out of there? Reckon it's useable or does anyone know if that kind of heat will make it brittle? I have a nice '97 frame in the basement but ...

I like electricity myself.
Funny how someone just can't let go. :)
Acid is pretty good too.
I've been told before that I have evil thoughts.

Seriously though.
I've found that multiple layers of security like you had will stop or severely slow down most thieves.

Sam passed out while it was burning. EMS had to look after him. 30 years of his life went up. I'm glad I skipped going up there yesterday. Look real close at that pic of the CR250. You'll see the footpegs, and the brake rotor right where they were on the bike. Also, he was building an '00 conversion...

My heart was in my throat when I drove up. It's worse than I had imagined. They didn't get anything out, it spread so fast. Then about 300 rounds of ammo started going off. The aluminum framed bikes just melted. They look like crime scene outlines. I had 3 bikes in there and a cr500 frame. I found t...

I'm just now reading this in the online edition of the local newspaper. I'm gonna head up there in a little while. My '85 frame and paint package was in there as well as a '68 DT1, '71 CB450 and various other frames and parts of mine. We'll see if anything survived. http://www.mtairynews.com/view/fu...

Well, that's pretty much why a diesel doesn't do great offroad, at least around here in the mud. Tremendous torque. My buddys ram 3500 gets stuck all the time because it spins so quick. A more fair comparison would be a Duramax I think. I don't know much about the Duramax but surely it would have pu...

If you use your buddy's nitrogen tanks remember you'll need an air shock adapter so you can pull the hose off without losing any pressure from the reservoir. Go to a mountain bike shop and ask for an adapter for a Fox air shock or similar. You've got an air cooled big bore. Is it high pressure too?...

No, can't use Argon gas. Didn't really get a good explanation. Argon is more dense 0.58 (Nitrogen) : 1 (Argon), I understand that it is only a reservoir about the size of a pop can, but racers are always saying ounces lead to pounds... :P Also took it a bit further with the ideal gas law PV=nRT, th...

'85 '97 shocks

Follow me on this one, '97 roller with rear shock. '85 with an Ohlins shock. '82 with a factory shock. I wanna use the Ohlins on the '82 and it looks like it will work. Does anyone know if the '97 will work on my '85? The '85 is being painted so I can't match it up right now. Mostly concerned with t...

You know what a speed bag is right? In the gym, a boxers training tool. Imagine a really good boxer pounding the crap out of one and not missing a single swing at it.

Shock charging

I'm gonna rebuild a shock and was wondering where do you guys who have done it get it charged with nitrogen, I don't think any of the shops around here do it?
Will argon gas be ok or does it have to be nitrogen?
