Neither of the two phantom users with Spikey's IP address had voted and only one of them had posted (2 posts)

They're gone now so no harm done.

I will initiate a regular check for duplicate IP addresses from now on...

Man, I am just now seeing what has been happening over here! Got to try to keep up better. I went back and read all of the goings on and I have to say that (as has been basically already said) I have a hard time believing that Spikey would pull something like that, especially after all that he has been through with his bike burned up and all. Gotta give him credit for a great build (as others ALSO have great builds too!) I feel he did a great job on the 1st one AND again on REbuilding it! Not really MY style, but so what. It doesn't mean that a person can't appreciate the efforts and skills used. Spikey, you go man, Good Luck To All!

Steve, thanks for all that you do AND have to deal with!

You still running without the shifter cover?

Wicked minimalistic look. Almost like there isn't enough to keep it going, NICE....

Paul, every time I see that bike, I start imagining how good that one runs, cause if it runs HALF as good as it looks, anybody going against it will be having some TROUBLE!!!!!

Great job Paul!

i think two more are in order here

paulages · « **Reply #91 on:** February 03, 2009, 05:00:54 PM »

i didn't even notice this thread until a couple of days ago... yes, Soos i'm still running without the sprocket cover. i have an oil pressure gauge mounted directly at the oil pump. i also like to keep an eye on that front sprocket, with the sprocket specialist style circlip retainer. makes me a little nervous, but has shown no sign of working improperly (it hasn't come off

).

i'm thinking of adding a ducati 750/900SS style half-fairing to it this year and reworking some things. i like the simplistic look, but i think it would go a hair faster with the fairing and i'd have a way to hide a dash.

oh, and Soos... there's enough to keep it going. going fast.

FunJimmy · « **Reply #92 on:** February 05, 2009, 08:55:47 AM »

That one is just amazing to me. The work involved to get it there, the build, and the final product........
Beautiful work and bike IMO.
