Nope. I'm married. Tomorrow I have to play with my wife, not my bike.

Wife had to help Sheetrock the new garage today, so after about 6 hours she says, " why don't you take the bike out tomorrow?"

LOL, nothing makes her want to see me ride away like some manual labor.

Lloyd says it can be 114, 116, or 129 cubic inch.
hmmmmmmmm....... we shall talk more.

Oh, I did find a bike to buy. What do you guys think?

Well, I like the car tire, but I think one Nitrous bottle will get you through most 500 mile days. If I remember correctly from the 70s, once you start in on a second bottle you get headaches and start losing memory,,,,,but I forget,,,,

 

[Keith Grey]

I just want a kick-ass daily driver. The track is just for fun. If you go 10.99 or quicker you have to wear leathers, have a lanyard kill switch, and get a racing license.

Craig and Rob both have those Leather Zip On Pants with the air-conditioning in the back, that they could lend you,,,,,,I mean I just assume,,,,,,

 

[Keith Grey]

Air is cool and dense this time of year so I'm going with 131.3 HP and 138.4 TQ

Hey!!! Claim jumper!

Since I already have 131/138 you get screwed if he rounds out to whole numbers

 

[Keith Grey]

1. Grouchy, Old, & Brain Damaged from alcohol, drug abuse, and exhaust fumes.
2. Willing to support single moms in exchange for getting stripper glitter and perfume all over him.
3. Occasionally rides harder than necessary, whether alone or with someone else.
4. Screws up, admits it, laughs, and says, "This is why we can't have anything nice".
5. Pisses off spouse and family regularly because he's out riding or working on the bike when they want something.
6. Fails to exercise self control in most instances... from riding to ordinary conversations.
7. Has your back... but will embarrass you sometimes.

Hey, I'm not gay but 20 bucks is 20 bucks...

LMFAO !!! No. 4 bears repeating:

"4. Screws up, admits it, laughs, and says, "This is why we can't have anything nice"."

Heard in the fabricators garage next door:

"Where did Johnny go?"
"Inside to get the first aid kit."
"Hey!!! I thought you said this would work?"
"You didn't ask about the likelihood of injuries. Now somebody take a phone and stand outside until this is over."

 

[Keith Grey]

If I use Kyle's dyno numbers it made 1.2 hp/ci... the crank was balanced before and they only balance to within 75% or so (Single pin crank).

Kyle = 131.8 HP
Rusty = 125 .5
Drag Calculator: 940 lbs and 123 HP (hot day) = 11.473 (Which is exactly what it ran). If it made 130 HP it would run 11.20s.

Lol, see this is why I get to carry heavy stuff, but can't touch anything hot or sharp.

 

[Keith Grey]

Just to show what I see when I look at a graph...

Holy ****e!!!! 2100-6400 all over 100 ftLb TQ ?? !!!!!! Well, I guess that will have to do,,,,,

 

[Keith Grey]

Of course I am. I'm solving hunger (you know me) on your dime. Problem X2 solved, for me.

:cheers:

LOL, Hunger doesn't mean the Farmboyasaurus clock went off like it always does every 2 hours, it means you go without food long enough to feel empty. 24-36 hours or so,,,,,,,have someone describe it to you,,,,,

 

[Keith Grey]

Did I forget to post that?

My bad, I thought there would be a new sheet after the 6k + tunes.

I was distracted by a Giant, Giraffe Like Human spending my lunch money,,,

 

[Keith Grey]

The weather here is supposed to get bad. Rain this afternoon and thru tomorrow, The first nice day looks like Tuesday.

Kyle needs a bike delivered to Waldorf... The SMC Dyno is headed to an event today, so I can't use that... it looks like crappy/cold for the next few days... so I made a deal with Kyle that he would tune it this morning and I would deliver that bike for him. It's the only way it'll get tuned this weekend and I'M DONE WAITING.

I am the sofa king. I am sofa king happy that I kept/fixed this bike. I am sofa king excited this bike will be ready to ride on the next nice day. It is sofa king nice to get on MY BIKE and ride. It runs sofa king good and feels sofa king comfortable.

Maybe one of these days I'll ride a bike that works as well and feels as good as this one... or... maybe not.

U R Sofa King Rita Did.

Glad the bike is back together, and hope your day goes well. You delivering the XCT with the white seat?

Anyway, Kyle was brilliant yesterday, and the Giant Navy Guy @navycraig was picking on me in your absence. Took 1 deg out of my timing advance and no more detonation on the occasional lugging at >70% Throttle. Minor inconvenience quickly solved.

 

[Keith Grey]

I think I see the problem....

Nahhhhh, you're a worry wort. Just ride it.

Psych, I see your problem right there,,,,,all those little bent up rivets fell out,,,,

 

[Keith Grey]

you know how I hate spokes, so how about this?

OR, on a more serious, grown up note, why not get a CrossRoads with a few miles and Big Bore it? Mr Greer or Kyle would certainly share the 129" parts list, you have a great custom guy who would probably help just for the experience, AND it is zero fairing, or small fairing, or barn door fairing, or actual batwing, depending on your mood. Plus I bet joy could convert it to pegs.

 

[Keith Grey]

got your back .....you know that !!
Peter

Yup, like always, the bigger kids picking on the slow witted little brother.

 

[Keith Grey]

That's all I have, Keith.

LMFAO!!!!

I guess you will just have to muddle through with it as is,,,,,

 

[Keith Grey]

The low fuel light is starting to flicker... haven't even traveled 130 miles on this tank. I'm thinking 34-ish... but I didn't fill it really full and it was on the dyno for tuning from 5000 rpm and up.

Im guessing the new Dyno sheet print will come when you get to a scanner?

 

[Keith Grey]

Called and spoke to a Josh?? I think he said his name was today. Said I had a Vic I wanted dyno tuned, he didn't laugh. Said some guy named "HC" or Larry said you guys could hook me up and he said, "he won't hold that against me."???? WTF Actually was a good conversation, They are open Saturdays and that REALLY helps me in my life, and should be over that way late April, early May

Let me know when, I'll stop down for lunch.

 

[Keith Grey]

Good morning, sir.

Craig got some stuff done. It was dark and Kyle was working on it with a flashlight.

Yes, the bike with the white seat is going home. Then, I have to haul ass to pick up Puss and get up to the Hells Angels St Patrick's Day party.

Stay safe with the 81, lot of good folks, but booze will be flowing.

Craig had issues after Kyle worked the clutch and Torque compensator a bit? Seperate problem?

Let us know later,,,,if you can still type after the party

 

[Keith Grey]

As far as I can see it's just a $28 TPS... Bosch or whatever.

Good luck.

 

[Keith Grey]

Keith, I need you to hold me and rub the hair down on the back of my neck.

Goodlord!!!! Stop humpin my leg sugar britches, or I am gonna tell Puss. Or worse, your boyfriend Rusty!

You're too old for experimenting. Now fix that KP so we can ride next weekend.

 

[Keith Grey]

If someone guesses the HP within 1... I will send them a gift. If there's a tie, closest on the torque number gets it.
Remember... before it made:
Kyle's dyno -- 132/138
Rusty's dyno -- 124/130
Will be done on Rusty's dyno... maybe today if I can get off work early.

I say 130/136 at best.

Is 131/138 taken yet? No gift needed, your earlier public assertion that you were going to molest me in PA, is gift enough for me.

As a wise man said, "I'm not gay, but $20 is $20!"

BTW, make sure that back tire is up to pressure for the dyno
