Cotton eyed Joe

I have some polished blockoffs in stock for $20.70 shipped. I know they're more than the other guys, but they aren't the same either.

Yeah, but no one knows how fast you have to be going to actually get it to work yet.

LMFAO Head out on I-15, turn right onto Blue Diamond Highway. Drive until you get to Pahrump. Stop and fill up at the WalMart, then follow the billboards to the whore houses. If you want, turn about 15-20 miles before Pahrump, and you'll go to Dumont.

im not even going to touch this one stan, go, im going to keep doing this untill your there. go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go at least to watch, this way youll know where you need to be when you start your build, ummm, go go go go go go go go go go go go I'm not wearing pants if I do. Naw...seriously, I'm broke until further notice. BUT the build is going to start soon I hope. I got some a arms on the way, some tubing on the way, my new bender in place, parts on the shelf....just got to get the sratch together to get my engine....if he still has it. Other than that I aint sayin shit.

Me and the old lady try to go every year. We've stayed at the Luxor, the Vegas Hilton twice, and a bunch of others. If you get a chance, go see The Blue Man Group at the Luxor. Best $150 (after a couple drinks) I've spent in a while. Check out the mall at Caesars Palace too. They got some neat shit in there. The buffet at Treasure Island kicks ass, and be sure to get a skull mug while you are there. I had one, but shortly after getting back, my wife decides to THROW a can opener into the sink from across the room....BLAM!! There goes my prized skull mug. Check out if there are any races going on. The Strip raceway has circle, drag, and I think there is an indy driving and a sport driving school around there. If you have the means, you can also rent a Viper somewheres down town..Like exotic rentals or something. Just walking the strip is kind of nice early in the morning when the breeze is blowing and most of the derelicts...er....people...are still in bed. Late at night is nice too. During the day it seems to be wall to wall assholes. I also looked at/around the MGM for a plaque or some sort of statue commemorating Tupac.... didn't see shit. I was hoping they would have some sort of omage or a painting or something for the guy where he got killed.

Some people make their own, I had some lasered out of 1/4" steel, but there is a wrench you use to get that retaining nut out. Mine fits onto a 3/8" ratched drive.

When i stand mine up all I do is put it in 1st and stand it up, no probs. I have never found a use for the e-brake. When I got my banshee I attempted to use the parking brake. If i had it adjusted to the point where it would actually hold the bike somewhere, the rear brake was adjusted too tight and would drag. So I used it a total of 0 times. I don't know why the hell they even bother.

OMFG!!!! HE's bitching about figuring out a given area vs. a known quantity of paint, and how much area it will cover?? Thats simple math at best. HOW THE f*ck IS HE GOING TO BE A MACHNIST OR EVEN A HALF ASSED MAINTANENCE GUY??? I use trig nearly every time I start a job that I have not done before. Its not hard for hells sake. You just fill in the values, click the equals sign on the calculator and you're done. Ask him what "circular interpolation" is or even what a "quadrant" is. Be ready for him to smoke the tires on his IROC out of the parking lot.

I second that emotion. All the cool kids are doing it.

Cool info. Thanks!!!! Wasn't sure if they did it by qualifying times or modifications or what..... Nice avatar BTW

LMFAO Get them to drill and tap a grease zerk in the stingers.

One thing I always check is that the mouth guard part of the helmet hangs down below my chin. The one I have now is about an inch or more below. My old helmet was about even, and you don't want to bump your chin on the bars and end up breaking or impacting your teeth.

LMAO JT, you are the coolest guy ever!!!! Don't forget to tell him about the choke fluid. If it gets too low, and he pops a wheelie, it will make the engine run lean. (I actually got someone with that once) AND...he needs to change the stale air out of his tires. Every 3 months maximum. Stale air is the number one cause of casing failure on ATV tires and its not covered under warranty if it blows out because of it.

So I can run anything I want, just as long as I wear a long sleeve shirt and a helmet ? I'd still consider wearing pants though. How do they break up the classes? Say someone has a motorcycle powered "atv" that they want to enter?? How does that work? Not that I know anyone that has such a thing, I'm just curious.

Its in the shape of a T, and its about 6-8" long and around a 12-14" handle. I'll see if I can take a picture of the one we have at work. HEAVY is the word. I think its made from something like 3/4 steel for the body and 1/2 for the handle. I'm sure it would bury itself deep into something soft like a humans head.

LMFAO There was a guy my dad worked with years ago before he started this business, and there was a guy that did that very thing. It got to the point that people would get out of the way when this guy was in the building. Being a government job, they could easily go somewhere for a few hours. One day I guess this Einstein fired up his lathe and the chuck wrench (for a 10" chuck) came out and slammed into a mill my dad was running. I guess my dad said it missed him by about 3 inches. He took the wrench, walked over to the guy and told him if he ever did that again he would stuff it up his ass. His supervisor liked that because it meant that he wouldn't have to talk to the guy about his bad shop habits. lol..

I've thought about it, but I gots to round up some homies, and some cash, neither of which have been around much lately.

I remember seeing him on the first (or was it the second??) Jesse James documentary, as as they were riding through central Utah, he lays back on his bike and reclines..... and like Fixit said... let the spirits take over. A sad day in the fab business for sure.... hell, any industry for that matter.... Truly a master at what he did. The part that really hits hard is how much more could he have done? None of us will ever know what was to come.

You guys need to do what Walt did for RF. He had us all email him our cell numbers and emergency contact numbers. Then he distributed the list. Even though I couldn't actually get ahold of Walt because he was out riding while I was ramblin on through Vegas, it was still reassuring. Sredish: Just go have some fun man. The past is a learning tool. Did you learn anything from your spill? I'm sure you did, because from what you post here you are definitely NOT an idiot.

With t-5s to hit 120 you will need stock tires and gearing, boost bottle, 5000 feet of altitude ,and push it out the back of a C-5 and watch if fall to the earth....Jim LOL Those C-5's were doing touch and go's at Hill this weekend. Damn big plane I tell ya. You could push 1000 out of the back of that thing, and probably still have room for something else....I don't know what.

They could have induced a coma just to help with the trauma. Its been done to a few family members. Hope he gets well.

is all I'm gonna say.

I'm a little late, but I wasn't on all that much yesterdeee... Happy Birthday!!!! Riding your Passion stroker on pavement would have been the best gift of all for me.
