                Thanks Bill.        Hey, If i can donate  $ 100.00  does that mean i get a custom RC Shirt ?
                                            Is  XXL OR XXXL  Possible ?   

[Sam Green Racing]

Yes Jon, sounds like you want a wall hanger

[Sam Green Racing]

I am awake guys, I've asked Russ for his Paypal account but he has not responded yet.

Sam.

Yeah, I'm ready. Be sure we find out how to get credit for the site being a sponsor. Too cool!

This is in hand Ron and the club got mentioned in a recent TV slot.

Sam.

There's another $100 in your acct.

I call first dibs on that pristine NOS RC header when you run across it in the bowels of a garage somewhere! 

[BLUE71TURBO]

Yes Jon, sounds like you want a wall hanger

                  No,  I need it for the hanger that's over my WEE WEE !!        

                  It's more like a " cantalever "  condition.   

[FuZZie]

LOL!

[angeldeville]

OMG! I think i just peed my pants!

[Jim F]

well at-least you didn't pee in the kool aid

[NickO]

Why do I get the impression this thread is descending into the depths, lol.

Come on guys this is one important restoration that we all want to see come to a successful conclusion, back on topic please, (sorry for the proxy moderation Mr Green)

[BLUE71TURBO]

  Believe me NickO,  the main topic will never be lost here.      You gotta have a break and some fun along the way.  If not, it makes for a very boring life,  Right ?

That's ok Mr Oldfield, it's good having a bit of back up while I'm on my way home and between computers.  sounded rather formal, hey what old chap.

And pack it in you lot.

Mr Green.

I was just trying to sound like I had some authority Sam, (no offence meant guys, my tongue was firmly in my cheek). 

[BLUE71TURBO]

 No offense taken NickO.  most of us older and wiser guy's can handle the poking and slander.  It's the younger one's that will have to learn from years of time served in life.       Now back to the....WAIT !   WTF !
   My screen is flickering,  something is trying to come on..........

  There is a dimension beyond that which is known to drag racers. It is a dimension of nitro sound and timeless infinity. It is the middle ground between sanity and total insanity, between science and superstition, and it lies between the deepest pit of man's fears and the summit of mans knowlege. This is the dimension of man's desire to seek out the boundaries of time and speed. You now have entered the
 " R.C. ENGINEERING ZONE "  !!   

[Sam Green Racing]

R U on drugs Jonny ? 

Sam.

[BLUE71TURBO]

  OH heck no.  Well.......Just what the doctor said i needed.        I'm just real happy as i have been given the best job opportunity that i have ever had in my life.  An old friend of mine has patents on some medical equipment that's used all over the world.  I'm going to be the sole person that calibrates the new and older machines.  They are used in labs to seal medical instruments.   I'm going to be traveling to GERMANY and JAPAN off and on also.         The company is called  VAN DER STAHL .  Here's a video.............

             Van der Stahl MS-451PV

   

[Sam Green Racing]

That's cool Jon. I have a mate who is a haemophiliac and has hepatitis from a dirty blood transfusion.
He was real poorly once and had to have an operation where they had to use an endoscope.
Because of his condition the instrument can not be used on anyone else so it was sterilised and sealed in something similar to the machine you mentioned. It was put into storage and can only be used on him should the need arise in the future. Sorry for the hijack, we need more info from Russ.

 Hey SAM ,   Is anyone keeping track of who is donating  $$$  and how much ?   

[sorcerer]

I certainly am ...money and parts. I have to tell you all...I think trip to the UK will have to be arranged. I have been there on business, London and Galway and loved it.

At least the following people will be part of MC history:

Mr's Green, Hastings, Benton, Dison, Debow, French, Oldfield, Nold & Griffin will own the front end on the Atchison Topeka and The Santa Fe. Mr green will probably own the back half as well and Mick will make sure I get this wowed down after that 100 foot up, burn out.

I hope I have not left anyone out and I have emailed all of you.

One of my Sorcerer fab sponsors came by yesterday and was torn between the 2 bikes...I let him know, thanks to the people on this site that we will have duel roll out of both bikes.

Just for starters..I have a pretty cool 11 x 17 poster of the professional garage shot, shown above. They are heavy stock, high quality prints. I will send one to each of you should you choose to email your mailing address to me. I can have them autographed by RC Sr if you would like and with any wording you'd like added.

Anyone down on there luck or ill here is welcome to a poster as long as I can print them at the discretion of anyone throwing in.

A very grateful, Russ Collins Jr.

OBTW ...I'm updating this as members join in..Mr. Nold has joined in....this keeps going and will have that rim as well.

I am having the posters made up special, sent to my Dad to await instruction and then they will be mailed directly from RC Engineering...good thing my brother does this for a living.

GOOD NEWS, got a positive ID on the front rotors, they are made by Barnes, and I think sold through KOSMAN, back in the day..!
 I found 2 examples, both were on Ceriani forks, one on Mad Mel's Turbo 69 CB 750, the other on Bill Hahn's Funnybike that he was running in 83.... That ought to make it a bit easier...

[Old Scrambler]

Good work Frank!  Take a look at Post #26................it shows the upside-down bars in standard clamps......and shows good detail of many other items

[Bill/BentON Racing]

Russ,that's so cool,ironic on the F/end,I fell in love with that gold anodized rim way back when your Dad first ran it.Put them on my first RR bike in '85.Tell him thanks,Bill
Put 'em on Calendar Girl last year!

                   OK,  I'm digging deep.  I have to join the R.C. ENGINEERING  Family !   Finding the front end isn't enough for me.   $ 100.oo  Is on it's way !   

[FuZZie]

I think that puts us 1/2 to the associate sponsorship?

Thanks BLUE71TURBO !!!
