Out of action

[bootlegger]

A mate gave me a performance expansion chamber for it. I fitted it today but it was way too loud.
Yesterday I picked up one of two new boat motors. They are 2200 cubic inches each. V12 650hp.
They weigh 1900kg and chew 14 gallons of petrol an hour. Check it out  So I now have a 66cc motor for everyday and a 32000cc motor to annoy the greenies. http://www.cawpba.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=107

I like the milk crate is it an optional extra Dave ? ;41

[bootlegger]

The only optional extra is the Heameroid ive got from the seat.

My 2 year old daughter loves riding in the milk crate. Every afternoon I take her for a little run around the block (very slowly).

Im actually getting used to it now.

[Reklaw]

Getting used to what, the Hemorrhoid? I thought that would have been a pain in the a...

[bootlegger]

Well Im feeling I have this thing reliable. Did over 100 ks on it today and only had to stop once to tighten the engine mounts. The run from Georges Hall to home tonight proves to me that driving is a joke. Whatever ground the cars made on me on the M4 I made up at Eastern creek.

What a weapon! The chicks will mob you with this!;41

[bootlegger]

Sting 69 I know one thing Ive got more chance picking up on that stupid bike than I have with my Vette.

The girls actually smile when you are perving at them through their window in the traffic plus if I can find a way to bounce off one of their cars and only get a little hurt she might give me mouth to mouth. Heres hoping the only other group that envy me are young school boys and the clients waiting for the bus out the front of cherrywood village (a home for the mentally handicapped near where I live). I actually think they feel Im one of them. They wave to me every time I go past.

Rode to Eastwood and back today. The motor ran like a clock all the way. The frame snapped completely in two again. Time for another bike.

So you didn't over wind it, then.  ;39

[bootlegger]

I Did actually. I was running this car from the lights when it backfired. I thought it was blown but it just cleared itself and kept going.

Got the new bike today and fully rubber mounted the motor. This arvo while testing I stuffed up and hit one of those white markers on the side of the road.

As I hit it I was praying that it was plastic. Well guess what steel. I went straight over the handle bars landing on my back. ;50

As I hit the marker my leg got caught and tore my jeans from one knee around to the other knee.

Im nursing a 6 inch gash from my groin to my inner thigh, a sore knee and back.

I still consider myself lucky if that gash was any deeper I would have cut an artery.

I havent had a stack like that since I raced motorcross. This is serious stuff.

Ive got a month to go on Monday.

Nice one Graham. The only problem is it only works downhill but I do have machine guns.
Im still sore all over. I think I hurt a lot more than my leg.
Put a performance carb and a smaller rear sprocket last night. More speed :luv

I can see a book emerging from this experience: "How to Hot Rod your Bicycle"

Graham Im started to know how Burt Munro (worlds fastest Indian ) felt.

Nifty Its funny you mentioned the bike. When I finally got back up the bikes motor was still running with the back wheel spinning at 100mph.

Im still sore this morning. ;38

Well Ive got 2 weeks to go. I have given up on the motorised bike deal. A week after hitting the pole I got hit by a car at the Elizabeth drive and Cowpasture rd intersection. A guy didnt see me crossing the intersection and drove straight into me. I didnt get hurt but another bike got broken. I managed to straighten the back wheel (it was still heavily buckled) and still get to Milperra only 5 minutes late.

I got another bike after that and then the motor blew up completely coming home from Fairfield on Saturday. I pedalled the last 10 ks home.
 
These Chinese things are junk.

I just rebuilt my motor on the hydro for the weekend races at Forster. Hopefully I dont blow this one.

Didn't see you, yet I expect you were wearing your hi-visibility jacket?

Glad you weren't hurt.
