Hmmm, how about a cystografin bottle? they're about 300-350ml. Get a breather valve tube setup with a roller cutoff built in... it only needs to last one time really.

Yep, that's what I'm talking about.  The albumin bottles are 500cc.  Vodka is 750cc.

Okay, so I've got it figured out.  I'll bring a bottle and some tubing that I think will work.  The albumin tubing flows really fast and has a special vent feature to prevent airlock.  Way better than the MASH bottle...

I think I can make that (M*A*S*H*) happen.  In the meantime I gotta go hang some drywall.

Thanks Duncan, I think you might have single handedly killed the thread.

Now folks, back to the bike.

I'm thinking that blown headgasket might just be karmic StarkMojo  ;) , Just Kiddin'

I rode Phranc for the first time tonight... what shear bliss.  I think I might have forgotten how much fun that is.  The bike is great, I love the power!  I was slightly afraid that a 750 would be too big, but nope, scooping out the seat and trading out the shocks really made a difference and it's very comfortable.  

I'm in love.

yeah, I was very afraid my 650 would be too big for a noob bike, but it just taught me to be very careful about everything I do, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Went on the Portland ride yesterday, my first real ride out on the road... Bike was great, didn't give me any problems.  Will definitely be getting a new front tire asap, didn't like how that handled on the corners  :-\  I'll have to bleed the front brake and shorten the throttle and clutch cables.  Otherwise I'm very pleased with her. 

Still can't believe I'm riding again.  Really had forgotten how much I missed it.  Living in the Bay Area with an underpowered Yamaha took some of the fun out of it for me.   This bike reaffirms my love of the Honda. 

Here is a pic of Phranc (in the background) with Mark's current build.

Phranc is a truly, truly sexy ride.  You need better pics of that tank to show off the soft blue sparklies.
