Update: he rode it home in a rainstorm, drove down a road just after a farmer spread manure in an adjacent field. Result: got the innards of the motorcycle all splashed up with shitwater. Not good with an open primary and all those vents and stuff.

These are the pix that I tried to restore on page one of this thread but can't because theres no post editing here

Update: the guy lives down the road from me and has the bike running again. I can hear it every time he fires it up. He hasn't ridden it yet, don't know why

Well, one would certainly want to believe that so they could sleep at night.

In completely different news my neighbor is a large man with a shaved head covered in multicolor flame tattoos. We call him Ghost Rider.

I think it's more of an art thing rather than a safety thing. He was showing what he could do with metal. I doubt he's going to ride it much.

BRAPBRAPBRAPBRAP instead of MAAAYBE tuning for efficiency. I just hope no one else dies with him in The Crash.

This is the real world equivalent of those GTA crash youtubes.

He's putting in some new lifter cam thingies. Supposed to provide for more tdc pause for .000009 seconds of ignition or something

I stand corrected. It's a shovel-head not a pan- head engine. He explained the difference, I still wouldn't ride it

That... is not what you want to see in an engine, tell you what.

The copper coil is an oil cooler. I guess he blew a lifter thingie riding it yesterday. The engine is a 1970 something pan- head he rebuilt.

OK, I hereby name that thing DEATHCYCLE3000. Is that just a copper worm for oil cooling?!

Now he's putting an S&S 1200 in the thing. It's either going to boil the highway or look lie the ending scene from Easy Rider.

I might, but I wouldn't want to be responsible for cleaning up the oil puddles on the runway. ;)

If Harley made an airplane would you fly in it?
