You can try putting some weight in the tires something like sand mixture or bb's would help with centrifugally balancing the tire. That may help it feel more stable.

Chris' steak? Is it tube steak? :gabe:

Tempted as well. Probably wont eat, but would be fun to go hang and chill. Have to see what the wifey has planned for us first.

Nice! Gotta love when neighbors are willing to help each other out. is he leaving it gravel or planning on blacktopping it?

Welcome shy-guy. What kind of ride do you have (says Infinitay but what kind)? Anything Done to it? Where you from (says dayton)? Do you race? Do you wanna race? :nopics:

That's odd. Did you wipe down and clean the wall first? Makes me wonder if there was something on there that was keeping it from adhering properly. It could have also been due to the humidity too. If the outside layer flashed over and trapped all the moisture/solvent in the stripe it could cause it to peel like that. At least it came off in one solid stripe and not a little here or there. much easier to fix that way.

welcome to the board sir. Nice ride!

Right? lol It would look better too

That thing is different but still barftastic lol

Oh I know the process there Steve, Just trying to avoid it to be completely honest lol. I want to see what I can do to avoid having to respray it. But I know I am going to have to eventually anyway.

Looking good sir! I'm gonna have to have you see what you can do with my pile. 20 years of weather exposure, and at least 15 of them in the Arizona sun

There is a really fun straight shot that follows up the river from Dublin to Prospect. River road (st rt 257) to Klondike Rd (straight through at the light on 42). Klondike dead ends into rt 36, make a quick left then right at the flashing light back onto 257. That will run all the way up to Prospect with some nice straights and curves mixed in. Stop at the gas station/ice cream shop/ or pizza place in Prospect for a break. Then take rt 203 all the way back to South Section line rd, that will dead end at a round about back on Home rd to complete the loop.

:funny: I usually hit up the country, heading north east out toward Mnt Vernon. There are all kinds of decent state highway cruises with good, smooth roads and twisties. The further north east you go, the better the elevation changes get too. Ohio 555 is a blast for that as well heading south. I do miss the days of old where you could do the 270 loop in 20-30min late at night.

Right, they aren't torque monsters, but they do keep the revs going once you are moving. If you want something with more power/low end grunt, a small horizontal shaft engine would be better. Something in the 5 hp area would fly. We've built a few of those back in the day too. Usually we put them on a custom rack that hung over the back tire and ran a chain/sprocket set up.

^^^^^ this, We usually just used what we could find. Most 50+ cc engines will have enough power to tool around on.

That thing looks like a blast! Good luck with the sale, definitely the right time of year for it.

hell we use to make them out of weed eater/chainsaw motors and a centrifugal clutch.

I do not own the bike but helped my buddy put his together.They are very simple and easy to do. Hardest part is getting a frame that works with the engine you have and making sure the sprocket fits on the axle. Typically older style frames work better (the ones with a swooping mid pipe) but a little fab work will go a long way with whatever bike you choose to put it on.

Saw this on the news this morning, makes you wonder how long they have to wait to "clear the road" or what other damage it did to the houses and such.

Always liked those. They are easy to upgrade and plenty of suspension parts for them. They are beasts off road with a few tweaks.

Might be a different pulley that is attached too. Does the pulley have a "spacer" between the alt housing and the pulley itself on the ones you are looking at?

That's awesome man, glad to hear she didn't have/give any issues. Who knows, you may have influenced one of those kids to get into it too!

Nice! how did V do with all those ppl around?

Get that supercharger on there! That would definitely help with the Getty-up and go aspect. Nice pick up, and will be a blast in the twisties regardless.

I put new skins on the car yesterday, Man does it feel like a whole new car. Ride is much smoother, quieter, and grippy once again. Hot or cold, I am ready for summer fun. Next up is some mushroom hunting lol.
