The flickr captions are awesome.  I think Harbor Freight should use the Red Panda as its mascot.

What kind of animal chops off the fork stop at the bottom of the frame without replacing it?

Take a look at this men, some peanut (not me) has chopped the Rhino Horn off a K0-K2 top triple, what a monster! I bet he's a poacher in South Africa........



My K2 was hit by the same poacher, we gotta find this moron

I have a spare unicorn top triple but it would be a little pricey to ship to Oz.

Back when it really didn't matter, I did that to a Unicorn tree. Then, drill into the stumps, tap and screw the ends of a cut hose clamp so that the buckle is at twelve O'clock. Then you can lash a solo tach dead center in front of you. Worked pretty good for my POS roadracer.

It's all that K #$%* that's causing trouble huh! Good thing it's heart is F  ;)

A good redneck would grind down all that excessive weld weight too so don't forget that. Damn, I can't find my redneck smiley, the toothless one.

Ha ha, thanks Jerry, of course I haven't attempted to fire up that F engine, but we all know that the best part of any F is the engine (unless it's an F2 of course........) so hopefully it'll be good. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Sweet! I had heaps of rhino horn top clamps years ago, and gave most of them away not realising that they were going to go for silly money now, so it's good that Yamiya are making repops. Don't you just love Yamiya? It won't be long before we'll be able to build complete repop bikes! ;D

Yamiya has bikes for sale. A few still there not sold out.

For a guy with deep pockets, just order and enjoy ;)

Honda should make a copy of the K0 and sell as new bike.

Yeah, I keep looking at their K0 tank/sidecovers/airbox/headlight bucket/headlight ears set and their repro seats, and even though they're way better than used items, what price originality? I guess they've got Honda's blessing to sell this stuff, and for all I know they could be owned by Honda, so maybe I'm just thinking too much? Us rednecks don't like thinking too much........... ;D

Ha ha, I've got two friends in Sweet Home OR, one of them chews tobacco, snorts snuff and makes his own apple pie moonshine, and the other takes his family to a sleazy looking "all you can eat" diner (only for special occasions) Bill, I reckon they're pretty close to being rednecks, so surely that makes me an "Honorary" Redneck? ;D

There's a stand-up comedy dude that does a routine to explain whether someone is truly a 'Redneck' named Jeff Foxworthy;you ever listened to him? I think he cut an album too.

Non priority without tracking would be significantly cheaper. I've used it, seems to get to Oz reliably, can't say for other places though ;)

I'll see about non-priority with tracking. Otherwise, God knows what happens to it.
