  1. http://www.recall-warnings.com/auto-catego...UISER.2005.html Not too bad. I know someone that had one of the first PT's, and from what I remember he said if the thing got in an accident and happened to roll up side down, there was a chance of the fuel pump causing a fire or something stupid. I'd say they've been around long enough to have most of the bugs worked out of them.
  2. Kind of bittersweet. Glad it wasn't either of those 2, but still its a sad thing when its a buddy of someone you know. Hell, its sad when its a fellow duner. You're spot on about life. One minute its here, the next it might just be gone.
  3. For the rest of the week, you are my new hero. I'm gonna send this to a few people that will appreciate it.
  4. The cross over tube will be in line with the choke knob itself. Just follow that from the left carb to the right carb. If you don't have it connected (this is on stock carbs by the way) the right carb will suck in air/sand/cow shit and make that cylinder run lean until it doesnt run anymore.
  5. You have an over flow on the side of the carb, and on the bowls as well. The only thing you need to plumb in is the fuel line, and make sure the choke crossover tube is on.
  6. Porting a 2 stroke engine is alot more than what that $8.00 CD-ROM is going to tell you. It will not give you experience and know how. It might tell you cut here, here, here and here. Anyone could tell you that. Making a port map isn't all that hard either as long as you have a degree wheel, a dial indicator and a few set up blocks. But when it comes down to grinding away at your cylinders, none of that is going to matter. Experience using those tools will then matter. Knowing what you're seeing will matter. If you happen to have a spare set of jugs laying around, who knows, maybe porting is something you'd be good at, but I wouldn't be willing to chop up a perfectly good set of cylinders just to see what happens my first time around if it meant I had to then go buy another perfectly good set of cylinders just so I could ride again/start all over.
  7. I guess I could always give it a shot.
  8. Fuck. That sucks to read.
  9. I have a new fab, +6, chromoly, bare, with round house carrier & brake mount. Gusseted, but no skid plate mounts. Includes all bearings. I'll put up a price and pictures if you're interested.
  10. I think it completely depends on the woman in question. I've seen some women go from teeny little 110lb girls that you could toss around with ease to hulking 200lb behemoths that are nearly crushed to death under their own weight like a beached blue whale. I've also seen some that don't gain that extra 400lbs, that still look attractive to a point even with the budda belly going on. I think over all as long as they don't smell like rotting vegetation (I've smelled some really stinky preggo's before....it ain't pretty) they're all right. Can't say I'd want to "bang" one, and being that the wife and I have decided to not have kids I don't think I'll ever have to worry about it.
  11. I thought Qantas Airlines was not only the safest airlines to fly on, but had one of the best flight records in the world.... Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.
  12. Thats awesome Brad! Does it do a split screen so you can watch a porn on a DVD while you download porn from the internet?
  13. Or maybe put that money towards a good wheelie bar.
  14. Do you have any lingering problems? I hurt my back over 10 years ago, and somedays something as simple as a sneeze will lay me up for a week.
  15. Time is the key. When I tell people that I put nearly 4 grand into developing my own swingarm they think I'm full of shit. Time is money in this business.
  16. I'd put up an estimated dyno chart of what I think it will do if I had the time today. Maybe tomorrow. Broke, I'd bet $50,000 for a prototype on that is close, if not cheap.
  17. I've done shit like that with wrong numbers on my cell phone. mmm.. I'm pretty sure I got someone fired once.
  18. Give em an inch, they'll take a mile.
  19. I was told by a guy that was a career AF guy that most of the shit in those silos is that sea foam green. When I was telling him about these ladders, and I mentioned it he said "Oh, its for a silo." lol....I hate that color. I'm sure they're still bouncing around your receiving dept. Hell, the first order we did sat in first article inspection for about 5 months. We even got to charge the Govt. interest being that they dropped the ball on inspection times. Theres probably someone still doing paperwork on receiving the items, or they're lost. The receiving bay at Hill is huge, and there's shit everywhere. I've been told there are people that are supposed to be doing inventory and/or inspection that actually lay down and nap between the boxes.
  20. BAH! Theres a guy I run into at the gym from time to time that gets that. He takes some sort of meds for it, and its gone pretty quick. I have no idea what he takes or what even causes it other than he's in a lot of pain.
  21. Or do it up ghetto. Get a 13" tv and sit 4" from it.
  22. Its been a long while. Anyone know where the hell he went?
  23. I could make a boy scout leader joke I guess.... nah. Congratulations! I have no idea what it takes to get to Eagle Scout, other than alot of fuckin time. I never joined the BSA, so now when we go camping I'm never the guy in charge of building the fire.
