What's going on in your garage? Part II

[rosco15]

Looking good. I think I need to repaint the interior of mine this year. Starting to look dirty.

Wow! Nice job on the bike's paint....
And the trailer....
How did you finish the walls ?

Looks like the whiteboard I used in mine.
And your floor is much nicer, I just painted mine with grey floor paint.



As for snow, its snowing today and we are suppose to race at RT66 on the 22nd....:?

Course I'm not even ready yet...still waiting on parts from Schnitz....

Hey Bob, we are getting more snow today. The walls are the stock wood, just painted. I hope to have it all done today.

[lecroy]

The days are just too short and I can't seem to stay up as late as I used too. LOL

I turned down a little ring for the fuel cap to dress her up a bit.


This valve is to turn on the nitrous. I used to have to lift the body to do it. I can now just reach down while sitting on it. Great for sitting in the lanes....

[lecroy]

Hard to believe the difference.

Let me give you all a little advice. Don't use stick tiles on your walls of the trailer. They won't stick. Liquid nails time! LOL.

Bob, my thought is that if the bike makes it down the track without leaking oil, it's a good bike. My favorite bikes are not always eye candy, or the quickest. I like the ones that you can tell the people who own them, built them. We have a guy that runs a hand built turbo bike. Even the body work was hand made. He is lucky when the bike makes it down the track. Each part has a story. The bikes I like the least are the cookie cutters, with some paint.

Thanks again for the comments. All of the bikes are being painted. I need to get some pictures of the real flame bike. We were laughing that we may need to take the summer off and just show them before they have any battle scars.

Lecroy...I hear ya about good bikes...but yours is still purdie:-D

Well my parts arrived yesterday....
A new outer bearing support kit for the sprocket from B&G...plus a new set of fibers and steels....
Gonna try and get it all done today and start her up tomorrow....
Plus finish cleanin' out the trailer....I put a few things in it at the end of the season to make more room in the garage....


First race next Sunday.....\\/ \\/

Didn't leave any time for T&Ts this year....just unload and go...

LMAO!!! At first I didn't believe it was the same trailer, then I noticed the air and fire tanks.

I vow not to use my trailer for a second garage. LOL.

I solved the loading problem, the cheap way. One 6 foot 4X4 and a chain saw. Seems perfect for the height. I picked up a little 12 volt winch and bolted it into the floor off to the side. It has a little remote control so I can run it while holding onto the bike. I replaced the steel line with a nylon cord. Just have a loop that I will put around the peg. Mounted the ramp to the side of the trailer and got the tool box bolted in. Used silicone on the tiles. This seems to hold them in place.

Was just going to tie it down from the front but took the bike for a test drive and she shifted. So I need a channel or two more tie points and its ready. Just need some warm weather now.

[rosco15]

I do the same thing. My trailer is still full of lawn furniture and garage stuff I wanted to store. Gonna have to get it out this week.

Thompson actually opened today. I was working, but did stop by after work just to watch a bit. it was mid forties this afternoon and snowing by 7 pm.

I didn't shoot this video. It's a friend of mine making his first 9 second pass. 9.53 @138.

GSXR 1000 monoshock conversion 90% done. :-D

[lecroy]

So much for my latest jetting. Tried some driveway tests today and it is now way too rich. Another call to Sudco...

On the plus side, this is the kids bike with the new paint..

Torco Skull Shine images on the sides are hand painted..

He wants to learn to ride a car tire bike. Dad's been trying to figure out what to put him on. Ended up with a whole new bike. It's a Kaw. Not as quick (8.90s bike) as the Suzuki (8.60 with 3/4 throttle) but should be more deadly. Has "2006 track champion" painted on the tail. LOL He plans to start the season with the little bike, then switch over the the Kaw after we get some time on it.




I like the flames on the Kaw with the full body.

[80GS1000]

Great dragbike, love the flame paintjob. :-D
