Come on, Brew, are you kidding? You don't think I'm all upset do you? It was the comment at the end... "I'm watching your abstract" is more like goof on it. I'm flipping the pages, pointing out, 'well it says right here' and then I start to laugh. You all start to laugh. Who is getting mad/upset/or??? >>> :roll:
Someone wants to know where the bike(s) are? I keep saying, I can back up my world of what is called, watt? "Wire & Fire?" This is like a recipe. Throw the parts in a box. I'll figure it out. Parts is parts. Parts only assemble one way. You get electricity wrong, well, she no start, right? Gas no go? Compression, don't you know?
This [was] bulletproof. I found out later, he was beating the crap out of the bike. A drunk took him out at an intersection. This totaled the bike. He bought it back from the insurance co. Bought another frame and front end. Plopped the engine in. Thus begins Bike #2.
If you want to ear engine sounds, I have bulletpoo on the video chitting some sounds. All I did was assemble the parts per shop manual. A little EOIC to the valve adjust. A VOES installed. An ignition timing adjustment. What else is left?
No pop out of the carb. No knock in the wrong gear. No nose dropping on throttle apply. Thing was well balanced and handled decent. Bike #3 is Shovelicious. Technically, she is done. However, she needs a machined wheel spacer made. Come to find out they are no longer available from the oem dealer. So now she sits. Bike #4 has already begun. I haven't seen the parts, but this frame has already been painted.
Anyone who takes on a build from scratch, knows how long it takes to gather parts, have that look and all of a sudden??? That time of his goes so fast. I'm waiting for his; new round of bars; new round of tanks; his every flavor of the month parts...

Something stops the build. That is the fun part(s).
Here is shesquidly, thinking he'll get to my place before the sissy takes a ding to the top of his head. The bottom fender bolt backed out he was so lucky [again]!
