Cotton eyed Joe

LMFAO Yeah...Meats not banned, never was....he just left on his own, and must be lying about it or somthing I guess. WTF purpose would that serve? And if it was something stupid like he forgot his password, he would tell us, but from what I remember he was out right banned from the site like 45 seconds after getting their "Member of The Year" award. There might be some great people on that site, but if there are, they don't belong there. If the HQ was structured like BT with more forums for different bikes, 4 stroke etc....this place would take every other forum imho.

Maybe an idear w/ the wifes car...... I know 3 different sheriffs deputys, and a city attorney, I'll see if someone can't do something in that department.

First time for me, but I like this style better than any other!!! Its just easier on the eyes, or maybe I'm just simple and impressed by dumb shit. lol. I like the banner at the top. Makes me want to go to the dunes real bad.

I don't want to get into too many details since this is a public forum, but is there a way I can find out who someone is, and where they live if I have a license plate number?? I know what the person looks like, and where they work, and the problem we had is over with them (we hope anyway), but just in case something comes up, it would be kind of nice to confront them at their house rather than at their shop like we did 2 days ago. AH....maybe PM me if you know anything about how to get a search on a plate done. Thanks.

That ain't no shit. Except I hurt my back on saturday, so technically I didn't get anything done because of that, but I had more time to not get it done in. Site looks great!! I can clearly (or not) see I need a bigger monitor, because I'm looking for buttons with my face 1/4" from the screen. I'd rather do that than scroll though. Oh, and I glanced at BT once, but I just couldn't bring myself to actually post there.

You're welcome. Glad you like it!

Also, pay no attention to the slots in those knobs. They mean nothing. I've had people tell me my carbs were out of sync because those slots didn't look to be in the same position...lol... A great way to sync your carbs is with a vaccuum guage. I don't have one yet, but I've seen one from Emgo. They fit various sizes of carb bores and you can get them in 2 cylinder configurations. Basically you are making sure the carbs are allowing in the same volume of air to pass through.

That guy must be from ATV Connection. Someone with a spare eBay account needs to bid that thing up a $1000 or so. **EDIT** in the next 8 minutes

That's what my dad did...was a Major in the airforce, flew for an F4 for 17 years and then went to Fedex and flew the entire fleet. If you stick with it and play your cards right there's great money in being a pilot. Did he do the over night package deal??? Im thinking the Fed Ex Overnight terminal is in Memphis.....Some guy at my shop was telling me about how fucking huge that operation is.

It wouldn't take long if the plane is lawn darting under power. 500 mph+ would take less than 45 seconds from 30,000 feet. You probably wouldn't even know what hit you, or by the time you got to your senses you'd be worm food. On a side note, my dad was telling me about some sort of parachute in development for private air craft. I've seen them for ultralights. I saw the guy that developed the rocket ejected parachute flying in his ultralight on TV when his wings collapsed, and he pulled the lever, and the parachute deployed, saving his ass. Brilliant idea. For commercial air craft it would have to be multi stage or something so it wouldn't rip you or the plane apart when that thing opened real quick.

That makes sense Hmmm....I should go back to using a Commodore 64, or the ol' standby TRS-80

Thats the thing though. I make billet knobs for about 5-6 different transfer cases, transmissions and wenches, and billet fire extinguisher holders too, most of which get anodized, then the shift pattern gets put into them. Its already rough on shit. What is that type of anodizing you're talking about? Is it whats sometimes called "hard anodizing"?? Like what they do to clutch baskets?

I have both 1 1/8 adaptor bar clamps and 7/8 bar clamps with or without key mount. I can put simple nomenclature into the clamps if you want. Usually I just have my corporate logo on them, but since I'm not super busy right I can do that, no problem! I have even more if you want me to send you a parts list. My site is done and paid for, now I just have to get my bike polished up again and take some good pictures.

Right now I'm kinda pissed off at the company that has done anodizing for me and some of my other customers. There is a customer of mine looking to set up his own, so as of right now, I don't do a whole lot unless I have to. And yes, my hands are fucking disgusting. At the end of the day after work and the gym I can get them clean if I scrub them with an SOS pad and straight dish soap.

Stainless....not a shot in hell. They'd be $60 or more.....Stainless can be ornery shit to machine. I'm doing a stainless job for a medical supply company right now that I wish wasn't stainless, but it pays the bills. This one hasn't been polished yet. Typically I hold off polishing my billet until its been ordered. Some don't want them polished, others want them anodized, so no sense wasting 10-15 minutes or more in some cases. I currently sell my dip sticks at $26.00. BHQ members get 10% off and free shipping. That works out to be $26.00-$2.60=$23.40

The flywheels come from the factory with the balance holes, because they are molded and not machined on the outside. When I machine a flywheel the tool always seems to touch in the same spot as the balance holes are drilled. This is because the flywheel has more material in that spot which is the reason for the holes. After I machine a flywheel it is dead on true with the crankshaft and any high spots are machined off. Like Boonman said, many of the flywheels don't have any balance holes at all. I have had both kinds on my Banshee when testing and there is no more vibration after I lighten them than there was before. I hope this helps............ You mean that outside "skin" is a forging??? Probably stamp that thing out in 2 seconds.

wtf?

heh....You'd feel it if you died ON an airplane....lol... j/k Its not the fall that kills you.

i second that... It sort of looks like that. Not really though. I also made the periphery look similar to a sprocket with 9 "gripper gripping handles" to make it a little easier to grab on to with out making it too sharp.

Stainless doesn't from what I've seen. It looks better than aluminum if its been polished correctly. It looks almost like chrome, I think polished stainless looks better than chrome.

$50/set???? The damn material would cost me that much, not to mention the hour or more in the mill hogging that shit down, then polishing it on top of that. Or are they fabbed/rolled out of something like 1/8 plate instead of machined out of a block of stainless? Just trying to get some good info here, but how do you polish them? Electro-chemically. If so, where the hell can I get one? I've found a few, but not exactly what I'm after. I have to remain "small" so the local sewer district, OSHA and the EPA keeps their damn noses out of what I'm doing.

Looks like you guys has a hell of a good time!!!!!!!!!!! That scenery is amazing too. Btw, what did Dangerous Dave do to tangle with the Dumptruck? Was it antagonizing him?? Did he just not like the looks of that dumptruck?? That tire alone weighs something like 3-4 thousand pounds doesn't it??

When I put my engine back in the frame after it sitting for a year and a half, it kicked over in 15 kicks, but after 3 kicks I noticed the chock wasn't pulled, and the gas wasn't on. By kick #6 I saw the kill switch in the off position...I was ready to kick myself instead. I was really hoping to see how many honest kicks it took to get it started after sitting that long. After its been run, it will kick over sometimes in one kick, and I don't even have to stand up to do it. After it sits for a week or so, it takes a little bit to get it over, maybe 15-20 kicks. Dunno why.

#19. Instead of a 5 day vacation...try a 2.5 day trip to the dunes I can get a call from someone, go to the store, pack, get gas and the bike ready in less than 2 hours. My all time record was about 30 minutes and I was headed to Sand Mountain for a 4th of July weekend. And #8
