What in the name of...??
« on: June 03, 2005, 01:29:02 PM »
Ok, I know that "Beauty is in the eye th ebeholder", however, this is just an atrocity.  It's not like this guy brought some krylon paint and a few decals at the auto parts.  This "example" took time, effort and $$$!  I'd love to free the motor that's being held hostage within that fram and bolt onto my CB...

For me it is my Gary Pucket and The Union Gap album.  "This girl is a women now, shes found out ......"     well you know what I mean.  Sorry about the singing though. 
These wonderful little birds are great flyers, delicious eating, excellent for training your hunting dog, and just fun to shoot,or stuff and keep around the house.  Bobwhites can be put with other types of Quail and have very large penis's.  Quail are very popular with the babes.

Do you think it would cost much to turn it into a motorbike?

Good question!  You should email the seller and ask him.

Hi Mike,
I have a 73 US bike mag with article by RC tuning a big Four.
Quite good, but I don't think he gave to much away.
Pics of his pistons show two left and two right handed pistons with offset valve recesses.
That was the reason I asked you about the Wiseco recesses being in line front to back, and all pistons the same.
Sorted now, and have you checked your email.

Thread drift over.  You should have seen some of the bikes I had years ago.  You would'nt be seen dead on one now, but then I thought they where great.  Passed my test on a Monkey Bike in 63, but that was a bit special.
