FURLOFF 500

First, a little inspiration........
 

 

 





Focus.

Same idea as last time. When you get everything done on the list, drive it to somebody's house. They owe you a beer.
4th of July is the due date

We will find a car show or just bonfire somewhere, or something. Then, we will grill meat and admire our machines and celebrate our awesomeness. Judging will take place, and the winner will receive a trophy.

Here are the lists.

Meat and Hindy:

1. POR-15 the old gas tank (can't afford new tank right now)
2. Electrical (turn signals, tail lights, headlight etc)
3a. Fix the black engine and get it running (timing issue?)
3b. Tuning (tap/bore spark plug hole, balance carbs, etc)
4. New spark plugs and wires
5. Put on the new black handlebars with new grips and cool side mirrors
6. Fix the slack in the clutch wire
7. Chop current seat frame for new café seat.
8. Whatever else pops up during all this (I'm sure there will be plenty)
9. Insure bike/plates/test/license/drive to work

Mr. TP (for his bunghole), and the CRAPTOR,

1. Front bumper
2. rock rails
3. skid plate
4. front light bars
5. rear lights
6. light wiring
7. front perch adjustment (preparing for the change to 37s)
8. CB radio

Mr. Fartknuckles, and Helter Skelter,

1) put the demon back together
2) working lights (headlight, taillight, brake)
3) registration
4) mufflers (done right this time)
5) fork seals
6) rear fender struts
7) cables
8) clutch

Mr. Shorthorn and the Hentai Bomber,

1. Clean up tank, get painted/sharpie
2. Polish all engine cases
3. new rear fender
4. new rear taillight
5. convert rear turn singles into run/brake/turn signals
6. repaint headlight
7. fix clutch cable
8. fix carbs


Mr. Muffin the Cupcake, and the clod-hopper,

1) Swap engine in F-150 (go from 5.8L to 6.7L)
2) replace the window that I smashed when I was mad at it last Monday (drivers side)
3) swap out rear axle
4) replace entire brake system
5) replace steering system
6) install lift kit, and new steering stabilizer
7) replace steering box
8) convert to electronic fuel pump
9) convert to HEI distributor and 4 barrel carburetor (currently a two barrel)
Let the games begin.

The Hentai Bomber LIVES!!!


After many months of laying dormant, the Hentai Bomber rose yet again like the Evil Japanese monster Godzilla, to reign terror on SoMD. With drilled exhaust vomiting it's disgust at the world, the Japanese Sexmachine roared to life after a brief sensual massage by the Master of Carburation, Sir Chewie, and the prodigal Son, PG.

With the resurrection of a SoMD BBBuildoff bike, it has raised the question in my tiny brain........another buildoff?

I have a bike in pieces, so does the "Man with a Girl's name," and I am sure that Mr. Faggins and the Texas Shorthorn can find a half dozen things to do with their bikes before some sort of stupid deadline. Takers?? I dub it the Furlough 500.
