Default Cycle whore thread

A guy on d.ms brought that up. Apparently Chris doesn't like practicing in his dianese.

My favorite pick is after its first roll and you can barely see it but the gasoline is spewing out of the tank.

Not boding well for the new duc.. I guess THATS what happens when you don't have a frame.

finally got to ride the Duc today and test out the new shift pattern. drive to work sucked, guess i had it at a bad angle and most gears were hard to get to go in to. after work went to adjust it and when i got to trying to adjust the linkage to be longer it flipping broke! not wanting to miss out on riding time by waiting to order a new one, i found a small thin steel bar and measured and drilled to my liking. took it for a nice long drive and it worked perfect!

I'm really hurting for progress on the CB750... in order to get the CBR600 exhaust through the front. That + the GSX-R swingarm needs some width too so the whole big needs to be widened... shits driving me batty.

On the plus side the CB400 Powered Gokart is on all 4 wheels again... Just have to finish the motor mounts, I'm going to check with local machine shop about getting the motor's drive gear machined down to run the kart's chain.

In other news, this 40 degree then 70 degree then back again weather needs to make up its damned mind!

Wow that is some good luck, just make sure its beyond sturdy and won't go anywhere. That is not a good day if that goes on a ride.

Yeah, I'm glad I had stuff laying around time Fab something up. It's a solid piece so it's good to go. I'm probably going to Fab up something prettier looking and roll with that instead of buying a new one.

Anyone else have dreams about being a GP racer? Like legit sliding and bumping around with the best of them or is that just me?
