  1. LOL I'm not too sure she knows if its chicken or tuna.
  2. I willingly give money to God. I throw a fist full of 100's in the air, he keeps what he wants and gives me back the rest.
  3. I've seen it first hand. My dads cousin is an electrical engineer. The fucker figured out how to watch satillite TV wink wink, and a bunch of other shit. Totally into HAM radio building all sorts of other electronic gadgets and do dahs, but he had to have my dad help him change the spark plugs in his car once. Once because my dad said he'd never help him again. Started out with him taking EVERY spark plug wire off of the plugs, making no note as to where they went. Then he took the hood off the car. I have no idea why. I was 15. Then he took all the wires off of the distributor. Finally he gets to taking the plugs out 4 hours later and by this time he's dripping with sweat and covered in engine grime. He eventually gets all the plugs back in, and asks the million dollar question to my dad who was busy working in the back yard machine shop, attempting to make a living. "What order do the wires go in?" It was a Ford, so my dad didn't know the firing order off the top of his head, and they spent the rest of the night trying to get it put back together correctly being that NO ONE knew the firing order on this car, or where the #1 cylinder plug went on the distributor cap etc. My dad can still change a set of plugs and wires in about 15 minutes to this day, but his cousin still can't figure out the procedure and pays someone else do it for him.
  4. Cool shit aint it? I had a wireless connection up until a few months ago. My wireless card icon said something like "11MBPS"...is that good? Then my damn neighbor moved and I got moved back to the dark ages of dial up.
  5. I thought it was a 2 handed variation of the Shocker. And I thought the Phazer was a 2 handed variation of the Punisher.
  6. I need to finish both of them.... On this one, I need to fab a +2, or a +4 swinger get it chromed, get my seat cover installed, get some billet lights, get some chrome pipes, then do something about those jugs. Not a huge list, but a list that has alot of $$$$ in it unfortunately The other one is getting there. I need to get off my ass and get a stainless gas tank drawn up and to the welder. Then we can start it.
  7. Damn right. I got basically a "clean up" with no real hogging done and it made a huge difference. Mostly cleaned up the transfers and opened up the windows in the pistons. As soon as the other bike is done, this one is getting sent off to someone for some serious "real" porting.
  8. Tell him the cat stole it. It worked on me when I was a kid and my shit came up missing.
  9. Yes you can mod it for reverse. You simply tell her to get off and push you backwards.
  10. I'll see if I can elaborate here. I've seen the insides in pictures but not up close, but its really quite simple..... The drive dogs on the gears are ramped so when you engage the faces, the gears will ramp, then the flat faces will push together. The shift drums are also cut away to allow one shift fork to move the drive dog, and allow the current engaged shift fork to be pushed out of the way by the unramping of the currently engaged gears. This happens when a higher gear is selected. Your transmission is actually in 2 gears at once for a split second, but because some gears float on the counter shaft, and others are locked on the splines, as the other gear spins the countershaft faster, the slower engaged gears are forced apart by the ramps. It all depends on what side the pressure is on...the driver or the driven side. If I can find a good picture my library of Sand Sports magazines I'll scan it and post it here. The major draw back is when you let off the gas without pulling in the clutch....the driven gear puts the pressure against the driver gear and tries to ramp out, but the shift drum hasn't been rotated to a point where there is clearance for that particular fork to disengage. What happens is that set of gears trying to force apart under tremendous force BENDS your shift fork. Then you spend the rest of the weekend drinking beer.

  12. Larry The Cable Guy used to be a member here?
  13. http://i21.ebayimg.com/04/i/05/72/74/f0_1.JPG ^^^^^^Should just start right up.^^^^^^
  14. Agreed. Got to mod it a bit to get it to compare to a 2 wheeler.
  15. All of them but #6. Lately I've been pissing down the drivers side window of my neighbors car in the middle of the night. Just kind of pry the weather stripping out of the way with a screwdriver and have at it.
  16. Agreed. Another one of those "If I only had the cash" moments.
  17. LOL Soccer moms in a hurry to get to Costco so they can buy juice boxes in bulk.
  18. I had to use the BFH, and we put an impact on the other side so it would virbrate and rotate as we hammered on it. Once it was out we had to clean up the bolt with some sandpaper because of the corrosion. When you put it back together use a shit load of nickel grease.
  19. Me either. But then again I can tell people "I have the new PS3." "Oh really! How is it?" "I have no idea."
  20. I don't have the numbers here in front of me, but I'm sure they are somewhere online, but the PS3 is supposed to be the fastest gaming console ever made by a factor of 10 or some shit like that. I'm holding out for one of those. Can't wait to see the next installment of GTA. Hopefully by then I'll have a 50" DLP.
  21. What kind of bike was it? I had a buddy get pulled over in his camaro doing 95 in a 30. The cop was more than pissed, but some how, he didn't get arrested, and the car didn't get impounded.
  22. These came with a set of a-arms I bought a while ago. The bolts and nuts were rusted together so they got cut off with the 3" wheel. I have no idea what size is needed either. I washed them, sand blasted them, and washed them again. Very few dings, a couple of scrapes, but otherwise look pretty good. $30 shipped. USPS money order preferred. Pay Pal makes enough fuckin money.
