I sold the Goldwing and brought this sexy thing home. Always loved the looks of these street brawlers. I binned the stem mirrors and am expecting my CRG Blindsight to arrive tomorrow. Ordered new tires and an oil change kit. Suspension refresh happens before I can ride it. The trailer ride home cashed the fork seals. Both sides are pretty wet. Might as well have the shocks worked over while its down. I'm not even going to pretend this bike won't end up with Ohlins everywhere, but if it can wait until the car is paid for... that'd be swell. 😆 Handlebar is probably being replaced with a Renthal Street Bar sometime before the season ends.7 points

I was supposed to stay off the bike for a month after a pair of surgeries I had. Couldn’t stand it and cut that a bit short and took a spin in the Valley yesterday. It was great to get out and the bike appreciated the attention and use. Stopped for a sandwich and beer, and then later at a great spot off Riverview to stretch and walk a bit. Then back to my Father’s.5 points

So lots of progress made. Removed the leaking oil mix tank, stripped the body work and cleaned 20 years of grime and goo off, and dipped the carb in pine sol. Put it back together and she fired right up. Cranked the throttle stop in and started teaching the grandson the basics. All we have done so far is work on stopping but he loves it. Little sister is all about it too. Might have to start looking for another one.4 points

We got the Flux Capacitor signed a couple years ago by Michelle J Fox, Christopher Loyd and Tom Wilson (Biff). You can see the silver signatures by each light. Just to the right of the Flux you can see a blue card with a silver piece in the middle. That is part of one of the 3 original cars from the movies.1 point

I am completely onboard with this completely unnecessary engineering feat. I admit that I couldn't see the whole Delorean purchase vision but this makes it perfectly clear.1 point

Well that was a nightmare. Went through the transmission TWICE. Replaced everything inside except the shafts and drums and it was STILL dumping glitter in the pan. Got sick of having to drive a Chevy Cruze so I picked up a junkyard 4Lslippe out of a 2002 Silverado, been running it for 2 weeks now without any issues. All I did to it was swap over my valve body, bell housing, servo, and put in a sonnax boost valve. Going to setup a camera and do a tear down video of the transmission so maybe someone smarter than me can point out where I screwed up. While I was poking around the junkyard with a friend looking for a transmission I accidentally picked up a LQ4 out of a 05 Yukon Denali and a set of 799 heads off a NNBS 5.3 It all needs a good clean, engine doesn't look like any bearings are hurt but the pickup tube Oring was rock hard and cracked when I pulled the pan after getting it home, turns over freely, makes good compression with leaky valves, cylinders are all glazed but overall I think it'll be a great engine for a 400whp goal. Going to try my hand at porting the 799 heads, only got them for the 64cc chambers to get the compression up to 10.4:1 without changing the pistons or milling the heads down, also been reading on porting the BBK intake, has a lot of potential. For the engine build, it's going to be pretty much the exact same setup I had with the L76 in the G8. So mainly just a summit 8715 cam, BTR springs, morel lifters, and then I'll also freshen up the engine new bearings, oil pump, timing set, new seals, hone the cylinders, new rings.. Again truck is doing great with the junkyard trans. 2 weeks of commuting, one trip to Chillicothe and back and one trip to prairie oaks to kayak. Chillicothe trip trans got up to about 160-170 by the time I pulled into the garage, this was with no air scoop, after reinstalling the "scoop" I made out of the fuel tank skid tray? The trip to prairie oaks and back saw a hard stop at 132°. Knowing the scoop functions as intended, I need to get a sheet of stainless and weld up a proper scoop similar to how the aftermarket heat exchangers are setup for the sy/ty1 point

That's fair. I would go Lambo Hurican if I had stupid money. Still have big stock options at my ex employer so there is hope. They are good for 6.5 years from my date of retirement.1 point

Brandon Harris is the president and owner of this company and complete impound and recovery. they lied to me. Threatened me. Wouldn't let me get a locksmith. Said they'd call the cops on me over my signature, and claimed to file a report with law enforcement over yelp reviews and being caught in lies, they use the other company to screw people over and keep a good image for capital and use law enforcement as personal weapons. All of you should file with PUCO, the agency that regulates them.1 point

All is good now. Pulled the tank dump the gas, wiped out as much as we could. Gave it a quick rinse. Fresh gas and seafoam and she's running like a dream again.1 point

Aftermarket gas cap with failed o-rings due to them not being ethanol compatible and 10years old. Parked under the eve of the building to where basically a waterfall was on the tank of my bike for hours in a monsoon. Equals probably a half a gallon of water in the gas tank.1 point
