Hey Bill, Mamola takes people two up on a GP bike. No reason you can't do the same on a straight liner, put another seat on the back and sell rides at lunch hour!

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #101 on:** April 06, 2013, 08:28:18 PM »

Now that would work the wheelie bars.....where would I put the toilet paper roll?

......probably be waiting for us at the end of the strip!!!

Bill Good luck this year,you and your six(sick) speed!

Good talkin to ya today Bill.
Pipes are ready to drop off at the post office.
Now to build some turbo pipes for the chop.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #107 on:** April 11, 2013, 08:48:48 PM »

Sprocket, same here, honey guess what I ain't got, besides no brains and money? A chopper 750!,
Just gotta find me an old Ness frame for a CB750.May not make Man Cup this year, but 2013 sure became better tonight.MEGA DEAL in the works! Thanks again on those pipes, way cool, Bill

Bill's at it again!

Just read on here yesterday that someone (Ricky Racer I'm thinking) has some chop frames he's looking to unload.

gschuld · « **Reply #109 on:** April 12, 2013, 01:45:26 PM »

Yup, from Ricky Racer:

"It's a good thing I got out of any interest in choppers years ago. No wonder I can't sell my old stuff. Anybody wanna buy a couple gooseneck Jammer frames, a coupla Amen Saviors, a primo C&G trike chassis? Santee rigid? Flame-cut girder? Columbia springer?

C'mon guys, there has to be somebody out there other than Frank and Digger who just loves form over function! All offers considered!

RR"

You certainly need another project Bill, as you clearly have nothing going on now!

Not that such issues have slowed me down yet...

So i'm not buying parts, i'm funding a chopper obsession...

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #111 on:** April 12, 2013, 04:36:04 PM »

Wrong, a 750 obsession! Chopper has to wait, next two years going towards 1320 bikes ! Bill

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #112 on:** April 12, 2013, 04:40:36 PM »

You have 1320 bikes....

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #117 on:** April 14, 2013, 07:14:21 PM »

Racing this weekend,Sat @ Commerce.Team Sam Green gonna get 'em!!

Bill.Good talking with you Frank.

dragracer · « **Reply #118 on:** April 14, 2013, 07:27:29 PM »

Bill,

New phone went dead while we were talking- sorry buddy. Couldn't find the dang charger at first but its on there now.

Looking forward to all of us representing the team next weekend. Hopefully i got the wife's bike straightened out and she'll be racing instead of crew cheif. I've got to get it to a local track to test one day this week prior to Commerce. I'm counting on my big brother being there to help since Gladys' family will be MIA this race.

dragracer · « **Reply #121 on:** April 16, 2013, 09:35:05 PM »

I still want to know what the part was that you saw inside the motor. Focus man, focus!!!! We don't want you starting that thing up till its found and identified.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #122 on:** April 17, 2013, 05:51:03 AM »

Calm down,focus part good reminder! But boroscope is charging as I type,we're looking today,but later.Gotta do real work!!!

Thanks,Bill

dragracer · « **Reply #123 on:** April 17, 2013, 05:53:53 AM »

Bill,

when you get a chance, could you measure the crank to axle distance on the bike and then measure the overall wheelbase and then measure the length of the wheelie bars???

Sprocketwerx · « **Reply #124 on:** April 17, 2013, 08:31:56 AM »

Pipes should be there today or tomorrow Bill.
I hope there's no clearance issues with the frame, and they will need a shot of VHT header paint, Lots of miles for one season on them.
I was gonna clean 'em all up, but when I got into packing mode, I just wanted to get it out!
