    not necessarily a funny

    Comment


      Kind of a funny, it has new "breakes" not sure what those are, but anything with a new break is not a good thing.

        Cafe passe, street trackers are where its at..




        I do not know where to begin. I am pretty sure the exhaust is made of EMT, as evidenced by the cast EMT coupling.

          It's an interesting build, for sure, but I have to wonder ... are the cylinders turned around?

          It appears that the carbs are on the front of the engine and the exhaust goes out the back.


          Then, the exhaust appears to go forward, under the bike into some straight pipes,
          then curves off into the EMT that bluewool was talking about,
          then into a muffler that might look right on a lawn mower.


          And those cheap pods are going to get SOAKED when he rides past the neighbor's house while he is (over-)watering his lawn.

            On an RD rotating the cylinders is easy, but WHY?
            On a 2 stroke, that exhaust system has got to rob a ton of power. It either needs 2 stroke mufflers or expansion chambers, and it has neither. Very odd, very odd.

              People flip them for the TZ replicas - a nice straight exhaust up under the seat or around the frame. Speaking of the frame I like the custom modifications to allow the carbs room up front. Rectangular tube 'welded(?)' to the round frame. He needs the money for his next abomination.
              Oh and those holes in the cooling fins ... WTF


              oh and the guys at 2stroke world have seen it...

                I remember that bike,it was at the Spunky's vintage show I went to with Trevor and a few guys from BCCMC.

                  I had wondered, once or twice, why on motorcycles the intake was at the rear of the engine and the exhaust on the front. After seeing this, it all became obvious.

                  I actually like the paint scheme somewhat. The blacked out spoke wheels against the yellow and grey are kinda nice. The rest of it is pretty "meh" for me, though. Especially that zip-tied sidecover.

                      It does have "shinny chrome". Isn't that called a parts bike? Just wondering.

                              Yea, I saw that again too. Here is what I find funny/interesting:

                              I need to part with this bike for medical reasons. ... I would be open to trading it for an atv 4 wheeler of equal value. Hunting items would be considered as well.
                              So he can't ride the bike for medical reasons, but an ATV is OK? Or hunting equipment?

                              Maybe he shouldn't have made it into a hardtail back breaker!

                                I love it when they say they have too many projects and must part with it but then offer to take another bike or project on trade. Have seen that many times!

                                By the way majicmarcer my son has just bought a 83' 850G and he wants to start a little ride locally for us GS'ers. Don't know if we'll ever do it or even if there enough of us GS'ers around here but I'll keep you in the loop
