BEW E....Eve? Eva? Erica? Eduardo? Estelle ? Enigma (a mystery wrapped in a riddle)? am I close?

Great point. That 20lbs will just be giving your bike more entertia.

I don't think a Mac would run any of my machines.

The last time I "used" a Mac was over 10 years ago...more like 12...and I used Quark Express in a graphic arts class. We would scan our report cards and change the grades n shit. Before that was an Apple IIe that I played MASSIVE amounts of ChopLifter on. Hours of staring at this pea green screen........rescuing poor little stick figures from houses before the tanks came to shoot me down.

Are you using Quark Express?

It might only be 20 lbs, but where does that move your CG? There are 2 things that I would worry about. One is, you are trying to keep the front end down under full acceleration. What happens when you let off the gas and you get the weight transfer to the front, that is now 20lbs heavier than it was from the factory....I'm sure with floaty sand tires in the front you wouldn't dig in too bad, but I would test it out a time or two. The other involved the CG again. You've just moved the CG, effectively taking weight off of the rear tires. If you need less traction why not go with less paddles? That would keep the front end down, and if you have the HP to spin the holy shit out of them, gear it up a little. It would kill your hole shot enough to keep you planted, but then you could possibly make up for it in the higher end. Dunno...I've not done much drag racing, and I've never messed with adding weight. Just some observations using my back yard engineering skillz.

I love Corona, but I have to go to a Liquor store to get anything but Corona "Light"..... AND its nearly $15 for a fucken 6 pack. It tastes best with a big ol lime wedge.

First thing: Believe it or not, it has nothing to do with you. Obviously she thinks she wants to do something else. You are who you are, and you are to be taken as you are. You also have to accept others for who they are. If someone can't do that or accept you, that is their problem to have, not yours to correct. I've been through this very thing, and I'll tell you it isn't easy to change the way you think, but I guarantee the second you do, your whole life will turn around. As soon as I stopped thinking that some "people treated me like shit because I deserved it or that I just wasn't good enough for them and this is why this is happening", and changed it to "I deserve better and I'm good enough for me, why do I hang around this type of person or allow this to happen to me" it was all different. I stopped "letting" things happen, and started "making" things happen---the way I wanted them to happen. Keep your head up, out of a bottle, and think about shit for a while. It can be overwhelming I know......But what has happened has happened. No amount of breaking shit or drinking will help in the end, its just a temporary "fix". I've replaced my fair share of shit that I broke because of a drunken rage. It feels SO right.....but in the end it only made me more pissed off because I spent that weekend fixing shit, and remembering why I did what I did because my fucken hands we cut up and bruised to the point it hurt to use them. Sorry to hear about this, hope things can look positive for you.

LMFAO Is there a way to just link all of these "end of the banshee" posts together in one long chain that would stretch to the moon and back?

Where at in Utah are you? Im in the Layton area.

What do you think pepper spray is? Back when I used to read meters, a bunch of us went out for mexican food and beers. At some point, somebody offered me $5 to put dog spray on a taco and eat it. The pool went around and got up to $20 before I went for it. The first bite was pure and total agony, the rest of the taco made me wish I was dead. I spent the next 20 minutes letting my face drain into the gutter (pepper spray opens up the sluices on your nose, mouth, and eyes). No way in hell was that torture worth $20. Amazing since I've seen dogs lick that stuff off their faces like its ketchup. Well yeah....thats why I said that

Yep. I've got a 3 footer that weighs about 20lbs. Heat would not be necessary. With the cheater pipe, I wouldn't even grunt. To tighten I use 2 pipe wrenches and just squeeze with both hands, and everything I have. That and some red loc tite and no problems getting them to stay on. Getting them off, I either use a really small rosebud on the oxy acetylene, or I lock the pipe wrench down and start tapping it with my 46oz ballast hammer. Eventually something gives, but its never been a real production to get it on or off.

Billet, extended swingarm, a-arms, Douglas rims, paint on the plastic, new seat cover

Old school astronaut helmet. When I'm not wearing that one, I wear an Oneal something....I think its Oneal..or MSR....its a great helmet I just can't remember what brand.

My brother in law has a yellow Fiero GT with a 327 stuffed in it. You can hit 90 in 2nd gear almost as quickly as you can stomp the gas peddle down. Talk about a floaty front end though. Almost spooky light under acceleration.

dont waste a jalapeno fighting, eat it HAHA can you imagine getting the capsasin in your eyes....holy shit.... That would be a 3 stooges manuver, but I bet the guy would be going ape shit about 3 seconds after you smashed it in his eyes. Mmmm...jalapeno....You could make nachos on some dudes face with that. Get a can of cheese and some of that sour cream in a caulking gun from Taco Bell... You'd be an Iron Chef or something.

Yep. Also, check the steam purge hose to make sure your gas tank isn't pinching it off. I had a problem with this once.

I know someone that ran their lines the wrong way and it did puke everywhere.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?? You mean the bolts, not us right? When my wife had a bike, I took the liberties of getting rid of that damn air box. While I was taking the plasitc off I was talking with a buddy. I noticed that my wrench was warm...kind of odd...I look at the bolt I'm backing out, and on the nutted end, it was bent almost in an L shape and was hotter than hell. I guess when it was put together at the dealershit, they stripped the nut, and as I was backing it out, cross threading it, it heated up to the point that it just bent!!! I had to break out the 3 inch and hack of about 3 of those stupid butter soft bolts. I have about 80% stainless now...which is about as strong as mild, but looks better.

Seriously though.... Are you hooked on the dunes? The first time I went out I was terrified....and by the time Sunday morning rolled around I didn't want to leave ever.... We went out everyother weekend that year. The next year most of them had sold their bikes for one reason or another.

That gives it more power right? 200% more power. .20 x 200% = .40

Sounds like you had one hell of a trip!!! The dune gremlins had it in for you. They knew you were coming. Maybe you should get it bored .020 over, and buy a .040 piston kit

thats what i was thinkin......if those aint the stock carbs.............that bike don't look like it's worth the powder to blow it to hell What??? So the part about the lime green Civic basically means nothing????

i almost tend to agree with you, as fucked up as it sounds, Kerry is a twat and little bush is a puppet. its gonna take a trophy set of balls to run this country, neither of them have the nuts for the gig, maybe we should just blow all them fuckers up and jack all there shit and be done with it........ It would make for the BEST desert racing on earth. You could put the Baja 1000 to bed, because you'd have the Akmed al-Dubar 10,000 Just have to watch out for the rabid camels.
