The dreaded oil thread ?

rb550four · « **Reply #2 on:** December 19, 2020, 10:52:49 AM »

I remember allot of discussion about carb cleaning.... spray choke cleaners, boiling lemon juice, simple green and other things like that, Berryman's or a can of NAPA carb cleaner seemed to take a while to become the go to cleaner for some reason.
But my favorites was how to clean rust from a tank, there was acid washes of all kinds , toilet bowl cleaners, electrolysis, rolling hardware inside the tank to get the rust out, 25 ways to prevent flash rust, what to do if you had flash rust and what the favorite tank seal/ coating might be.

The South Side Dive Bar has been the #1 read thread for quite some time, believe it or not.

As of today, it has 2,269,977 views.

Or could it be the Most Impressive thread?! [prolly no as that was about 7 years ago]

What was the thread where someone sold a tire to Seaweb and he never got it?

And then some of the guys went all "

Alan F. · « **Reply #7 on:** December 19, 2020, 11:29:45 AM »

Yup, I was thinking the same thing.

I looked back 10 years and was getting the central states volunteer riders for the Godzilla SOHC world tour lined up. We ended up gathering the relay riders from Kansas city to Western Pa. I was impressed with the Indiana and Ohio riders. I had the most fun riding with the KC group and then drowning/freezing with the Chicago and Indy riders. My brother and I did KC to Munster In.
I'll never forget the manager of Three Floyds brew pub mopping around and between us while we got to know each other. He also put our helmets in a warm area of the kitchen. My brother and I found a motel and the manager let us park under the canopy. It was cold in the morning and we were still wearing damp shoes and gloves.

Yes the word "Brimmer" took on a whole new meaning for quite awhile. Wonder where some of the guys like Kingscustomcycle,Fenders and Lucky are on this Holiday season.
Thanks everyone for not giving me the boot yet !!

Yes, Brimmer but that's not the answer to the quiz.

Kingscustomcycle is prolly building choppa's w/o front brakes, fenders is preaching how impressive the CB450 is and who the heck ever figured anything out about Lucky?!!!

Godzilla was 2010? Wow. I just saw Seawebs name. That story of going to Sturgis diary was good!

Ding ding! Don and Bender win the prize!

Ten years ago the planning for the relay was officially started, although the relay didn't get started until early '11.

Where is Godzilla living at now ? That lizard really got around. Think member Danny may have been carrying him possibly when he had to sleep in my basement on a bed to short for him before starting a leg with Sean and some other guys.

We got totally drenched all the way from Nashville to the Barber Museum in Birmingham ( 260 miles ) for the hand-off to the next crew. It was so wet and stormy Jeff Ray the museum manager allowed us to store our bikes in the museum lobby overnight ! This might be my most cherished pic of my K1, IN the Barber museum !! April 2011.

My buddy Josh's KZ 400 left an oil stain on the entrance mat that was visible for years until they eventually replaced it

He's looking down on us right now and waving that damn piston at you. He keeps a close eye on me so i don't do too many stupid things.

GZ v1.0 and all the goodies are with me. They are home.

RAFster122s · « **Reply #21 on:** December 22, 2020, 01:25:48 AM »

Wasn't it Lefty who sported the piston? Then there was PimpZilla... Is Lefty still in the land down under? Who is PimpZilla living with? I have a mascot if we put together another tour... It is going to be a gathering right, so you should call the Godzilla to come too... Is that enough of a clue for the mascot?

scottly · « **Reply #22 on:** December 22, 2020, 09:28:02 PM »

David, GZ V1.0 had a piston in his right hand, while Lefty, GZ V2.0 had a piston in his left hand, hence "Lefty".

GZ V3.0 was empty handed, the poor thing, and after FatMatt dressed him up became known as "Pimpzilla", or PZ for short. Last I saw PZ was at the reunion, when Mooshie took possession, but I suspect she passed him back to Matt??

Wow! Time flies. Doesn't really seem like 10 years ago. I rode with Sean and Fat Matt to meet Greg (Ofreen) in Fernley, Nv. Looking back I wish I would have been able to do more of the west coast ride. It was a lot of fun even though we froze our a$$es off going over the Sierra Nevadas. If I remember correctly Jerry and the Colorado guys had the worst winter conditions ride of the whole event. I need to go through my pictures and relive those memories.
