Hey, anyone around these parts remember me ?
« on: September 11, 2014, 02:30:41 PM »
Yo,

Joe aka "ProTeal55" here from Chicago.
Been quite some time since I was here and active on the forum.
Great to see its still alive and kicking since i was here last.

Lots of things have happened since my last time here on the site.
Some good, some bad, some "eh" , but long story short I am still alive and kicking.

I am honored to still get emails / questions on the two bikes I did build logs
here on this site. If anyone has any questions on those builds feel free to email
me and I will do the best I can to help out.

Current "project" is a 1973 CB125 that I picked up for $50 with a locked up motor and no title I am going to turn into
a badass little looking scoot for my house. I will get a build log going for that if anyone cares and add the link.

Hey doods,

I am hanging.
Been awhile and alot has happened since I posted back on here.
The ol' Honda bug bit me again with a CB125 I plan to turn into a badass (looking) little scoot
for the house. Have the Road King for riding, and my Bel-Air is in surgery currently converting it into a
1,000 HP tollway driven street car !

Thanks Jerry. The 55 was in need of some minor upgrades and now it's on it's way to a full blown 1,000 HP street car.
Once I get it back I will post some pics and videos of me doing block long burnouts  ;D

Sure, we remember you.  Did you post links to some great anti valentine parties?

Would like to see pics of the BelAir (or it didn't happen)

Ask and you shall receive..


The car is currently under the knife at my buddies racecar / engine shop getting a host of upgrades, mainly a 555 cid big block that should easily be pumping out around 850hp or so. Also doing a 4L80e trans so I can actually drive the car and enjoy it. Pics of all of that once I get it back (prob. Spring 2015)..

YOU BET I remember you! You were doing some cool stuff, IIRC.
I have a 1974 CB125S I'm doing, too! Post pix! We'll compare notes. As soon as I get mine together, some guy here wants to buy it so he can have a 125 with a disc brake. :)

Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.
