Torque Fest is best . . .














I think the most fun is probably camping, havin' a few, the bands, the bikes, the art, the swap meet, the cheap food and beer, the rods, the very understanding law enforcement (which I heard gave everyone a break who happened to deal with them) . . . or the vintage cars & motorcycle races, or maybe the buses?  It was all super cool.  The best part was all my friends I got to hang with again.  Thanks dudes - Love you all !

Torque Fest . . . a bit more.

















Can't really say enough about this event.  Heard all sorts of opinions . . . had to find out for myself.  My total grade for this deal is an A+.  If it was broke from before, they fixed it.  I went to Viva Vegas the last (2) years - and this is better.  really super cool.    Only in Iowa

Square Boards . . .


I told this guy I'd put his scoot on my blog, but the pics are kinda dirty (and I hate blurry pics), but here goes anyway.  He had it set up neat - Way Bad Shovel Chop !   Runnin' 'round Sin City . . .

Bay Area Style

Hey Klein . . .

. . . "he's such a dapper lookin' dude ain't he ????"  Hey, why don't you come ride with me June 2nd to the Knuckle Shuffle?  Got anything goin' on that week?  Maybe get Jeff to go?  A couple more good folks . . . maybe, just maybe . . . might be fun?  Oh, it would be a blast !

Linkert Manifold Adapter

Whoever made these did a great job.  They are even tapered from end-to-end. You can now run a Bendix or Mikuni (with flange adapter). Nice

Big Noot & Tator

 . . . discuss the latest news . . . and what Jeff Wright is doin' . . .

Bore Gage Breakdown

Had a problem with our Standard bore gage.  Can't work on stuff if I can't measure it properly. 
Big Noot took everything apart and fixed it.  Whew.  I hate down time.

Very Important . . . and very True.

You must true each flywheel 1/2 before reassembly.  In this case, the sprocket shaft was +.003 to 4 out at the bearing race location.  Too much.  We replaced the sprocket shaft.  Now?  Dead Nutz !

My wife said . . .

"No more motorcycles parts in my new stainless sink . . ." 
(But, this is Jeff's and she's at work)

'52K is back runnin' . . . break-in time
