Man Overboard
« on: November 18, 2019, 06:26:29 PM »
Feck that pretentious Lagavulin 16! Sour mash from a Ball jar will do the trick every time. This is what you need instead of wasting away daubing moly on splines.

Amazing. I love this thing.

Heat off the engine shouldn't be a problem in Vermont. Just restrict your riding to the months from November to March, making sure to use the studded snow tires that I'm sure are included in the price.

So many curvy Vermont roads....must be a thrill with car tires, and minimal cornering clearance.

we think the bricks throw heat.
can you imagine the heat generated by sitting astride a small-block V-8?
I'll wager that could roast some chestnuts..........

Just the thing to take to the local cruise in and put those boys on their Triumph Rocket 3's to shame.

A friend of mine went to the drag strip one day - it's been over 20 years ago. I don't remember why we went, I think somebody we knew was running that day. It was one of those days where anybody could pay the fee and run the strip. There were a couple guys with Boss Hosses there that day. What I do clearly remember is one of them stripping all the cogs off the drive belt. Which leaves the bike pretty much helpless.
