All the Harley dudes/chicks would think it's cool.
Cruise that thig down and park with the Aprilia and Ducati crowd would be priceless.

You guys are f'n funny...that's why I love this place so much. I can see how good of friends you all are and truly know each other. Anyway....We stayed more South (Killarney) and in the small villages. Went out to Dingle, cruised the ring of Kerry, hit Cork and Waterford....racked up a shit-load of ...

Maybe that's what he meant, but not what he said.
I was misinformed. Thanks for setting it straight.

I understand, because the stuff I have had here taste like crap. It's way to bitter, thick as mud, and no matter how cold you make it, it goes down harsh. Were you drinking the extra stout or the draught? The extra is the old school guinness and I agree tastes like shit and is harsh, the draught ca...

Thanks man. Here's more... This is what we drove: http://inlinethumb28.webshots.com/32987/2093247100102045454S425x425Q85.jpg This is what we saw: http://inlinethumb28.webshots.com/39835/2543913770102045454S425x425Q85.jpg Couldn't get enough of this: http://inlinethumb08.webshots.com/42951/2907184110...

We rented (I drove) a Skoda TDI during our vacation in Ireland. The puppy averaged better than 50 (more like 55) MPG. We cruised around for 3 days, all day every day. On the 4th day it was down to 1/4 tank, so I put in $50 Euros ($80 US) which was roughly 40 liters. I turned the car in at the air po...

Yeah....I know.
I don't care either.... I got shot in the ass over there for pointing out that kind of truth, look who's laughing now.
I said it before.... Shit like that is proof of where the pro's are.

Maybe he was in fact one of them jet-skiers that they try to keep out.

Here's the proto-type.
Just had to show it off here....

Shouldn't the old turd (not that 500s are turds) be the thrasher and the SH bike be the trophy????

Won't see stupid shit like that over here.
Glad to see that y'all set him straight.

88.7 hp.... 1/2 hp gain when lean....

He didn't say how much of that 1000hrs was dyno flogging time.

Daytona had to be the most painful race I'd ever seen (for one rider). Chad was blasting through the swamp. Was he a full lap in the lead??? 1/2 lap- to go and I saw the back-fires coming out of the pipe....then it quit. He was kicking it for at least 5 minutes....it wouldn't start. It was a cratere...

THAT MOMENT JUST BEFORE THE PAIN BEGINS....... http://inlinethumb62.webshots.com/29181/2836475600102045454S425x425Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb62.webshots.com/27837/2694923410102045454S425x425Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb16.webshots.com/43023/2999545510102045454S425x425Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb36.webshot...

Well....since the engine came w/the carb, throttle cable and twist grip, I'd say that's what the previous owner had it running on (with?). I don't have a PWK, so I might run the Mikuni and pay close attention to how the jetting feels. Hey 87...you're over by the Quarry, or was that the Forum? We met...

I don't mean to come off as a dumb ass, but I have a carb question. My spare engine (that UPS lost) finally came in, and all looks good. It's complete with gear/kicker and other items I need, and.....it has a Mikuni flat-slide carb. I don't know the size or model yet, I just unpacked the engine and ...

I'm dealing w/all the cradle issues of a 125 as well. I would have done a 250, if I had a 250 to start with. The 125 was cheap, so I'm less behind in the $$$$ game. I'm doing all the fab work myself, so it's a time issue instead of a money (paying labor) issue. I have the engine mounted into the swi...

You are correct I was wrong, the again I was half asleep. Sorry.... I work with D/C systems every day and I forgot the CDIs use A/C. DUH...... it's powered by a spinning magnet. After reading this, I just can't believe that these issues have been going on for so long. So what it comes down to is tha...

I sat here last night and read every reply, no wonder I'm a zombie this morning. I spent some time on the other forum, and did some research on the SH ignition/lighting kit. I went to SH's website and read their description on the unit. Hmmmm, improved performance, less of a hit and easier starting....

After I was jousted, I finally read the rules. I then realized it was a 500 rider forum, plain and simple.....you HAD to have a 500 in running condition....period. It's a good rule to keep out the non-500 owners, that is if people are honest. Liars and posers are only kidding themselves. Mine was in...

Sounds like a lot of trouble just to get rid of one person. I take it there's more to the story.

Their loss is this place's gain.

Mike already beat you to the punch. He called me a few days ago and offered a whole case, so I have some of his left over to pass around. I'm not sure where to start, except for the fact that it's an honor to have a thread started in my name. I've been here off/on for a while and just never seemed t...

Good to see you over here, slayer.
You too, Mike.

Looks like it'll be one sweet build... Don't remind me about the rules, I'm still worked up over that last episode.

I decided not to have it done. The extra down-time and expense -vs- results is a no brainer. I need to get my cylinder prepped and back together ASAP. Have some extra $$$ for the beer fund is always a good idea. I located a coater North of San Antonio that can do it fairly cheap. I just hate to wast...

Yep....F1 is the place where new ideas are born. Where else can an engine spin 19K rpm, last for 2 race weekends and have springless valve trains. There and the goo-roos at Cadillac and Corvette produced many ground-breaking ideas as well (too bad Ford tweeks GM's version and takes the credit). Enou...

Whatever I said before, I didn't mean that Surf N Turf was a rip..... I know what it takes to have one of these done. It can't be balanced w/the rod on the crank. The crank has to be pressed apart to remove the rod, and then pressed back together for balancing. They figure the weight %# in relation ...

Anyone hear anything good/bad about having the piston coated in a 500? I'm building a turbo engine for my Camaro.....the pistons have a dry film (lubricating) coating on the skirts and a heat barrier coating on the domes. The combustion chambers/valve faces will be coated also, that way less heat wi...
