  1. Lol...I actually got into icp when they first came out, but I was like 16. They do have some dope beats, and on the earlier albums some of the lyrics are hilarious...and kid rock did a guest spot on a song on their first album. I'll still play a track now and then just for nostalgia.
  2. Gotta love die antwoord....
  3. In 2013, the FBI released documents indicating that Juggalos in California are holding their own in a gang war against the notoriously violent Los Angeles gang MS-13 Impressive.
  4. So these are isolated incidents of 1 or 2 juggalos doing insane shit because they're clearly insane, not an organized criminal enterprise right?
  5. Lots of tattoo haters here... let's see some links to news stories about juggalos carrying out all these violence crimes. Manson was a Beatles fan, should we then assume all Beatles fans are crazed murder cult leaders?
  6. Jimmy buffet fans: Identify themselves as 'parrot heads' Wear Hawaiian shirts Drink copious amounts of tequila get DUI's (illegal activity) Not labeled a gang
  7. Grateful dead fans: Called 'dead heads' wear clothing with band logo, get tattoos of band logo, Sell copious amounts of drugs Not labeled a gang.
  8. Ok...still no tag and the back tire is bald but I might bring it by today depending on what else I have going on. Need to finish a brake job on a goldwing and then I'm sure momma has something for me to do
  9. Rode it the other day, gonna need jetted. Pulls ok low but mid and high are anemic.
  10. I work on a lot of bikes, most of them carbureted. I research and soak up whatever info I can find on them. Of the 9 bikes I've owned, 8 were carbd, so I kinda had to learn.
  11. Turns out they aren't the 29 mm carbs...they're 28. Cb750 came stock with 28mm, 500 and 550 had 26 iirc. The mik 28mm will still breathe better because it's a smooth bore. 38mm would be way too big. My bandit 1200 has 36mm carbs. Gsxr1100 had 38. Bigger displacement doesn't always work better with bigger carbs, like any other tune, you have to optimize it for something. For example, a smaller throat carb will deliver better low and midrange power due to higher velocity venturi effect from a smaller throat, but loses flow efficiency at higher rpms. A bigger carb will have less velocity down low but will flow more cfm up top. Cam profile dictates a lot about carb choice. A milder street cam will benefit from a smaller carb for ridability on the street. A high lift, high duration cam will be pretty worthless on the midrange but will benefit from a larger carb that flows efficiently at the rpm that the cam starts to run efficiently. The cam I put in this motor isn't crazy, but is significantly longer and higher than stock and would have really loved the mikuni 29 mm smooth bores...but the 28's will still out-flow the stock keihins. I'd really like to fit a set of keihin CR carbs, or find a rack of 30mm CV carbs that would line up without too much modification. Another option would be to gut my carbs and de-rack them, then chuck them on a lathe and indicate them perfectly on center and bore a mm or two out of the throats. There's enough meat there to do it and the slides are large enough to still function correctly....and I have access to a lathe....it's just a fucking ton of work.
  12. It's more the design of the v twin. Victory makes an incredible motor. 100 hp and like 90 ft of torque. That's out of a 100+ inch motor tho. It's got a 4 valve head and ohc iirc...vs 2 valve head and push rods for hd. You can squeeze huge power out of a twin, that new American v twin sport bike the ebr or whatever makes like 180 hp from an 1190cc twin. Pretty impressive...but put a turbo on a zx1200 and tune it properly and it makes 507 hp. I4 has definitely got more potential for growth because you have more pistons, crank, rods etc to spread the load over but talk to anyone who's owned a tl1000, aprillia rsv, ducati panigale etc and they'll tell you that v twin can make some serious power.
  13. My dad found a set of 29 mm mikuni smooth bore carbs in the loft of his garage...These are what guys were putting on their modified 750's back in the day. Gonna need a full rebuild but should be worth it, these carbs make serious power over the stock kei hins....pics to follow. ...
  14. I only need 1 song played...so not looking to spend a ton. This is a cheap wedding, 32 guests. I think I might try contacting the music director of the local high schools.

    derp.

    Guns are bad and cause crime.
  16. Got one of those after someone stole my genny out of the garage....freaked my dog the fuck out. Had to shut it off.

    Durrrr....hurdurr derrrpp derp.
  18. I've been getting their vape nectar and blue voodoo lately...tasty stuff. Also upgraded to a smoktech sid mod that takes 18650 batteries.
