Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, something something something??
By the way, I like what you did with your primary drive cover. Bike looks nice! |

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. I guess you could infer that if you need to replace those pieces again, it would be crazy... |

No problem Igneroid.
Still curious about the rifle, pic too fuzzy to tell if it's a modified SKS or AK or something else? |

You ought to see the Norton do the centerstand dance. If you put it on the centerstand while running it might move backward a little if on a smooth surface but if you goose the throttle it will shoot backwards about a foot. OTOH, it has a long, pre-government-approval sidestand that actually works the way a sidestand is supposed to work. |

I was thinking that you could make a velcro lash to hold the front break lever tight.
Also, which direction do you point the front wheel when idle? Toed in to the stand side might not be good. Try is toed out and see if it helps.
Also, is your front issolastic in good condition. You may be getting excessive vibration because of it being worn or the mount might be cracked.

It's an Ak variant. Love the box. ( I'm an expert ) Is that welded to the headers?
Will the bike pop/push start from the gate to the road?
I used to push the ol' GT380 out of the garage, down the drive, & push/hop on/start downhill away from the house to "sneak out". When I tried pop starting my M2 at a friends, it just slid down the very smooth drive. |

I have a Blast. If I leave it idling on any minor sort of an incline, it will waltz off with itself as soon as my back is turned. |

Etennuly: I like the idea of the patio/paver block put in the road.
MikeJ: Its a Romanian WASR10 AK variant 7.62x39mm, I scrubbed out the cosmolene, and used Rit Dye to turn the stock/foregrips royal blue.
Ratyson: Thanks, Dremel with a cutter wheel, and 2 colors of engine paint.
Aesquire: The mailbox was $20 @ Walmart, the headers came off an F-body Camaro I picked up for a powerplant for my drag truck. They are just lag bolted to the wooden 4x4's and I just sprayed krylon silver over the rust so if I showed a more updated picture it wouldn't look so nice. |
