That makes me wish I had my project car back.
Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

Note to self, check weather before riding.



I was riding home earlier this week in the fallout from Tropical Storm Faye.  Wearing my full Tourmaster kit, water STILL managed to find ways in  [laugh]  I think it was that 8" of water I rode through that was supposed to be a cross street that soaked my books ~

I'd actually be able to work on my projects in a couple more weeks. Work is beating me pretty good right now.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

red baron and I were going to have the sandy and buffy show.

He didn't want to be buffy.   :P

Didn't want to be Mr. Pink, either?
Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

Toyota doesn't make performance crate engines (that I know of) but LC Engineering does. . . it was $8,000   :o :o :o :o :o :o 8) [evil]

It made 200 foot pounds of torque on the engine dyno from 3000rpm to the 5000rpm redline.

3 times the power it had from the factory  [evil]

That thing must be down around 2,000 lbs right? Nice power to weight ratio  [thumbsup]

I think it's more, but I don't think it's much more.

We will get it to the scales to check it.  If I had to guess Id say 2300 pounds.

I think it's gonna rip

Well, the Ducati/Triumph dealer was closed so I spent a few minutes at the Japanese dealer.

A nice selection of bikes in the $5000 range.  Kawasaki ZR7, 2 Suzuki DR650's, 2 Honda 650 XR650L's.  The also had a Yamaha TW200.  They've still got the Monster S4R that I nearly bought at the start of summer, it's marked $8999.
