Pat's Bike

My friend Pat works at Rochester Harley-Davidson. He knows a lot about performance, and it shows with his own motorcycles. If I could have any Sportster - I would take Pat's. It's just totally badass. He rides the shit out of it - and has ridden it on many long trips at high speeds. When it breaks - he makes it even better. It was nice to meet all Pat's friends - and I'll see you all again real soon - Your friend -Noot

Jordan's CH (a sneak peek)

I think Jordan's bike is coming along great. He's worked really hard on it, and I'm sure you'll see it in a magazine someday soon. Jordan let me stay at his pad, and hang with him and his girl Courtney (who's pretty darn nice - and cute). Thanks for everything - see you soon !

I really like this guy . . .

We had a good time together in Rochester, Minnesota. I hope to see you all again real soon. I think he still owes me $2.00? He didn't break my clutch lever or wreck my Schwinn - but, I acted like he did.
He's really super cool and I like giving him a hard time. I won't be so harsh next time. I let him have some of my pizza. He's got cool friends. I love you all. -Noot

10.3 to 1 - Big Domes !

Too much bread . . .

I guess there's a Motorhead Box Set (which retails for $600.00) that Lemmy has told his fans NOT to buy.
It has like 60 albums worth of early Motorhead - But, he thinks that's too much money for his fans to spend on their music. Lemmy is cool. We all agree.

XLCH Clutch Cable Bracket

This mounts to left side of crash bar boss on frame.

One Fast Brit . . .

. . . my new email buddy, Sir Patrick, sends me pics of his KHK Bonneville blaster. He's quite knowledgeable of the KR, XLR platform. Professionally built. On to the next cafe . . . catch him if you can? Wow !

Probable cause . . .

I thought I'd check the timing on his magneto before I disassembled the engine. It was a solid mount mag - and timing was very retarded. This can make your engine run hot. Above optimum temps. This may have led to scoring. Piston-wall clearance was +.005, so it was plenty loose for cast pistons.
