Mine is the wannabe ammo factory. I have the Lee Loadmaster, it's a 5 station auto indexing progressive press. When I get it tweeked and running nice it will easily do 275-300 an hour by myself. If I have somebody to lend a hand with keeping the case feeder stocked and the loaded round catch bin empty I can do 350 an hour with a nice steady pace. My tumbler finished another bucket of cases so I ended up doing another 200 rounds of 9mm since my post earlier. I'll finish the last 200 or so cases I have left in the morning and hopefully switch over to 45ACP for a few hours. I have several hundred cases ready to go and the tumbler is chewing on 300 more right now. It's a lot of work but man has this thing been one of my better purchases.

Well, no real shooting anytime recently as I am about out of pistol ammo. WTF So yesterday and today I have been on a reloading binge. 650 rounds of .40S&W last night and this morning and another 400 rounds of 9MM today. Got more brass in the tumbler now for the 9mm just waiitng for it to finish up. Here are a couple pictures of the 9mm progress.

The worst part is that they aren't made in China or even anywhere on that continent. The are built in Argentina, hence the manual being in spanish.

Just because nobody ever reads the manuals.

I've got the exact same snowblower. It's a real nice machine. I've never had any issues with it and with a little stabil it has started every year. This would be a good buy for somebody that needs a mid-size machine.

If done on land you have approval to be on, sure . Dang autocorrect.

So whats the mural to the entire story; Regardless of who is delving out the punishment, fucking up while doing shit thats illegal sucks. When you get caught red handed and need help saving your ass, it's gonna be painful.

For the normal around town commuting type stuff I wear my leather work boots. If I am doing a day trip or longer I wear my Sidi B2 track boots.

Still for sale. Currently working to get the lack of title situation corrected. Please let me know if your interested.

You knew that I have the 749 now and just wanted to be really sure I couldn't keep up with you on the track. I see how this is.

You also have Picnic Pizza, there are two of them in Zanesville. It's a real good New York / North Jersey style pizza (actual pie slices).

Guys, it's a Triumph. They are still wired by the dark lords from Lucas electrics even if the names have been changed to confuse current owners. I would still have the battery checked but also check the wiring from the switches down past the steering stem. On the Speed Triples and also on some of the Sprint series bikes triumph ran the wire loom too tightly past the steering stem and it causes the wires to either be pinched or pulled apart in that area depending on the clamp that holds the wires to the frame. Check your bike by turning the steering to full stop in both directions and see if the problem gets worst. You also want to look at the wiring with a good flashlight while turning the bars and make sure it moves freely without binding. Also check the main wire loom connector under the gas tank that comes from the switch gear to the rest of the bike. I have seen overheated and burned pins at that plug on Speed Triples. Not sure that the Street Triples would still have these issues as this is stuff I have seen on 2006-08 model year bikes but it can't hurt to take a quick look.

Found a longer version with sound that goes all the way till the bike stops moving. https://vid.me/ETkc

Mine just folded back and packed the spring with sand. . No video of it unfortunately.

Bump for price drop to $3000. Nows the perfect time to get that track bike you always wanted.

Depending on what broke there is also a $10 rebuild kit you can buy and maybe just fix yours versus trading it in. It's something worth asking about if you like the vintage feel of the one you broke. Snap-on p/n RKRS77

Also depends on what the bikes ECU is capable of. My Triumph Sprint and most of the 1050 motor'd Triumphs have an OBDII connector on them and you can custom map the bikes ECU just like you would a powercommander. You just need the right software and a dyno and you are good to go. My Ducati has the PCIII on it and a custom map. I had tried a pre-made tune and it wasn't anywhere near correct for my bike so I had a full custom map made while on the dyno. As a side thought because I don't know if this plays into your question. I would stay away from most generic tunes/flashes. They may be close enough to correct and should be good for getting you to the dyno but I wouldn't flash an ECU and then blindly trust it will not harm your engine. Both of the internet "Ideal" tunes I downloaded for my bikes were actually pretty far from good once on the dyno. Take it and get it checked out when your done to verify.

I'm going out to Indy for Moto-GP next weekend. If any of you are going and want to see it in person let me know and we can set something up. A few more pictures. The new fluid cups mentioned previously. Closeup of the rearsets. And more pictures of the progress at my photobucket; http://s267.photobucket.com/user/vf1000ride/library/1996%20ducati%20900ss%20CR

The ethanol/fuel issue was bad enough with my Ducati (sportclassic) that between when I purchased the bike new in 2008 and when I bought $3600 worth of hand make aluminum fuel tank in 2013 I had to have my OEM plastic tank replaced 5 times under warranty. Never once did they supply a tank with a fix for the issue. Mine wasn't with the pump mounting flange but with the attachment to the frame of the bike. The swelling of the tank caused it to fall out of the forward mounts and the tank would only then be held to the bike by gravity and the single bolt under the seat. If you were running at highway speeds with a nearly empty gas tank it would lift off the frame of the bike and more than once I had it fly up and hit me in the chest. Here is a great picture of one of my tanks were the top surface was so distorted and twisted it looked like a funhouse mirror. You can also see that the tank shifted about an inch to the right as on a new tank the key is centered on the stripe.

I know this is not the greatest option but I played their "It's your modem" game in reverse with them and eventually got the problem fixed. I always owned my own modem also and they kept telling me it was my equipment. I replaced it once as a good will purchase but the drops and slowdowns/crashes continued. I agreed to rent their modem and had it sent to the house. I won the bet because even with their equipment it continued to perform poorly. I would call them once a week and request a new warranty modem to be sent to the house as quote "you must have sent me a faulty modem". After 3 weeks they refused to send me another one because it was obviously not a modem issue. I agreed with their new findings and told them to get their lines fixed and I promptly sent their rental modem back to them and got a refund of my three months modem rental. They came out to my house and replaced every piece of exposed coax and even replaced the buried drop line in my backyard. Even that gave no results, they eventually replaced the cabinet in the back yard and that has solved the issue for going on 2 years now.

The simple answer if your in the Columbus area. Go to Iron Pony. Try on everything in your price range and find out what fits best. Narrow your search from there with the other options you want.
