Well I dd get her out today, but I was unable to get a way to get the bike to my friends. So I had to make do with a few banzai runs up the street just to check the trans, which worked flawlessly. Being that it's -2 I used a hair dryer to warm up the motor, which still needed 6 or 7 good kicks to st...

Put together the rear brake rod I made to replace the old one, hooked up the chain fired the beast up. The empty lot beside John's shop was only big enough to get in second gear power band before having to slow down. Soon as the power turned on the front end lifted in the same manner with scary ease...

So after a ton of hard work from John with my help, Roosty who sent me a great PJ carb and still not accepting requests to send money, my Finner is running awesome. I went over the carb, John checked the float level and in 6 decent kicks the Finned Monster roared to life. It has never started easier...

I have not had much luck in finding a carb for my 84. A new stock 84 carb straight from Japan is way out there in price and not what I want anyway. If anyone has a really good PJ or PWK style carb for sale I'll pay what it's worth plus shipping. Cheers.

Your right Roost, that upgrade would have been ideal had I known. I'm guessing that would have meant newer clutch basket and plates to match. The basket and plates that I have look really good, so maybe after there done I'll make the upgrade.

Nice Road King Rhino. That is a pile of miles for a bike is such good shape. I've put 30k on my bike since May 24 last year and still counting.

Thanx Bob. I debated on posting this pic because of it's poor quality, but here it is. John was impressed with the machine work, I was relieved because I have close to 8 bills into the cylinder alone. Poor machine will ruin your day, but the boys did a nice job with the bore fitting the new Wiseco p...

Easy now guys. Keeping the CR and rebuilding it has always been on my list. At least I still have it after all this time. Paying for a house and all the bills because I choose to live by myself means money has to be prioritized. Other interests like buying the Hog and women tends to set you back qui...

So here are a couple pics that I do have. In these pics john has just finished installing the bearings and crank along with the trans gears. Since I've never worked on one of these before and wanting it done right with no mistakes, I was glad to have Johns old school ability in putting this together...

Ever since I was a kid and saw a group of bikers I knew that some day I would have to have my own bike. So after many delays like divorce and roofing the house I finally got what I wanted. Hell I bought the bike before I even had my permit! https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/5847e368d1bdaeb3d...

Finally after a few years of sitting in pieces I am rebuilding my 84. A good friend of mine got me motivated when he mentioned that his Dad used to race dirt bikes professionally back in the 70s and 80s for Honda. If you followed racing in Ontario Canada you may have heard of John Lake. He had the s...

Listened to lots of Robin while partying in the summer. We usually crank this one right around sunrise. I like this version cause of the 3 piece line up. Reminds me of Grand Funk Railroad or Blue Cheer. Hope you enjoy the show.

You can now by chocolate covered bacon. Now I like bacon, but not that much.

Hang in there brother. Just remember that there is a better place when we move on.

I like Billy Lane and the Martin Bros, but to me the best builder was and is Indian Larry. Just before he passed away I had planned on quitting my welding job and going to work for him. Wish that was still possible.

Happy 420!!! I celebrated right at 4:20 with a bowl, a beer and then another bowl!:bong:

Authorities are catching up to Craiglist about this very issue. This topic was even discussed on Dr Phil, so it's not a well kept secret anymore.

I like number 9. Awesome!

Those girls are going to hit the big time. Rock on!

Nice Torino! I was going to say that you should add the Starsky n' Hutch stripe, but I'm to late :D . Here is a car for me if I hadn't bought the 300. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevrolet-Monte-Carlo-Chevrolet-1970-Chevrolet-Monte-Carlo-collectors-20-621-miles_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6171QQit...

That's the coolest T-Shirt I have ever seen!

Great stories!

The Ruskies did the same thing over Canadian airspace only a few weeks ago. They were "escorted' by Canadian Air Forces very promptly and without hesitation. Seems like the Ruskies are testing there limits and need to be Put in there place.

Big fan of the Guess Who. Just have to add this one.

I don't know how I forgot about Triumph. Here's my favorite tune from them.

I'm really diggin' the Chixdiggit stuff. Rock on!!!
