Jeez.... Nov. 1976 ... I turned 16 that month and was cruising around glendora ca. on my RD350 , and gas was about .65cents a gallon ! Boy how the world has changed . Glenn

I got the monster ride for this year , but I'm having trouble getting the suit on ....

And you've got great taste in music too , Float that front tire ! Glenn

just do a google search for " All Balls bearings" they make all the kits you could ever want , just look up your bike . Glenn

Or at least scaring yourself once in awhile , But it is a fun ride ...

Greeves , The last thing that little Bugatti is , is a "kit Car". It is a extremely accurate replica that was built in France , one of a numbered series .

Thanks !

Maybe you should come and visit when MY! new shop is finished this fall ... (winds prevailing in my direction ) (aka , my a$$ is on the line ...)

We need a photo of the bike !!! (aka : what the heck is one ? )

And that from the man that expects his weedwacker to last 200 hrs. !!!!!!! (I've got a 4t weed wacker ... and adjusting the valves is tedious !!!) Glenn

Whatever one you feel comfy on , go to a few events and poke about ... You'll get your needed info ., just ask !

Beautiful !!!!! You got too much fun ! Glenn

Dear Sir; I have been doing this for over 4 decades ... And my services at the facilities I do restoration work and engine building is taking pending appointments about a year in the future ... And it was a ground up restoration on the XK150 , and then after delivery the owner came back and said he wanted more oomphh ! So he paid for a different intake manifold , cams , and a trio of webers . I'm more than willing to do what the customer wants to pay for . But I take ZERO shortcuts . And Jonv8 at the start of this thread was asking a question about some detail he wanted the particulars on , so voices were heard , and although I'm across the pond I can speak proudly of Jon's knowledge , as I contacted him a few months ago about a customers Bugatti type 37 replica , with a rover powertrain that I had never seen here in the states before ,with a strange drivabilty problem and in 2 e-mail conversations , I was able to deliver the car back to a very happy customer . NON OF US KNOWS EVERYTHING ! And the only stupid question is the one you are afraid to ask .!!! I went to the one person in my world of contacts that I thought would know what I needed , That is part of the beauty of the information age we live in , WE CAN SHARE THOUGHTS AND INFORMATION ! And if you haven't noticed , we share all kinds of thoughts here , world politics , the economy , GREAT jokes , saving endangered species and the list goes on . Yes this is a Trials website , and undoubtedly the best one there is , But we are ADULTS (for the most part ?) and can converse with our friends and expand our knowledge base . Glenn And Yes that is Cooper / MG #1 , I get some fun stuff to play with ...

Can't vote without measuring the barrel ...!

TOO COOL !!! keep the critters safe !

I use my front brake more than the rear ... ? And would the weight of a extra pump be viable ?

laird387, A color tune , had one years ago !But trust me , I still do MY bikes by feel ... ( and I can't afford to replace my wideband sensor array after two stroke tune ....!) But multi cylinder cars get the full work up . You would appreciate the XK150 I just finished , 3 webbers, starts like its fuel injected , hot or cold , and will slam you into the seat and it's air conditioned too ... And keep your photo's and stories coming , it's not history if you don't share it ! Glenn

As a "tuner" ,engine builder , Licensed emission technician with about 40 years of twisting wrench's under my belt , I wouldn't think of taking someones money for tuning their motor for peak performance without my 4 gas analyzer hooked up and sniffing ... What comes out the tailpipe tells a amazing story if you understand how to interpret what you see . Glenn

That last bit almost hurt !!!): Glenn

Is It FAST ???

It would be nice if the powers that be would just declare open season on all / any poachers ... It happens everywhere ...! Glenn

All that being said, wouldn't the mechanical type used on PWC's and ATV's serve the same purpose ? and spare tethers are readily available ... Yeah I've been to Glamis and the CO. river more than once ...

Change the fluids and then ride it hard to find out what it needs ! Great bike too !

As the title states I'm amassing more unique parts to refurbish my ever faithful 240 pro ... When done it'll be truly worthwhile . But I have one question to put to you all ... My fork sliders and clamps and swing arm have all been powdercoated recently in the standard red , I rattle caned the frame when I first went thru the bike in red . But this time I think I want the previously powdercoated pieces to remain red , But maybe the frame in something different ? It will have a special one piece seat/tank unit in red , so maybe a black base frame ? or should I just stand true to the Fantic colors .... And all the pieces for the aluminum tank on my section have been made , just got to weld it up and polish it . I can't wait to use that bike ... Glenn

That's so true ... Just like 7/8 of the folks that buy gxr's and the like , can really even grasp what the bike is truly capable of ... We always want the newest and best , whether we can use it or not .... I'd just love to see a proper entry level bike on the market ... But then again I'm getting old a grumpy too !
