Author Message   Hodakaguy Posted on Thursday, December 14, 2006 - 01:53 am:        Now if I could just make it fit it would make some serious HP We performed a major overhaul on some Ingersoll Rand engines at work and a few pistons were out of spec and needed to be replaced. I took one of them home to make a vise stand out of. The bare piston weights 400lb. Sitting next to the piston is the wrist pin and a used intake valve out of the same engine. Thought it made for a funny picture.

I would ask if you had extra but the shipping would kill   Chasespeed Posted on Thursday, December 14, 2006 - 09:38 am:        I would ask if you had extra but the shipping would kill Hell, I would drive to go get that... Love it... I used to have a couple 3618 pistons, valves and sleeves, but cant find them... damn ex-wife...

Thanks for sharing. Great looking bike too. Henrik   Sleez Posted on Thursday, December 14, 2006 - 10:54 am:        i would love one, polish the hell out of it, awesome end table   Tbolt_pilot Posted on Friday, December 15, 2006 - 05:23 pm:        At first I thought..."Honey, I shrunk the bike!" Then I thought..."Lookie thar Tiny Elvis! That thang's HUGE!" (for the old SNL watchers) That vice fits in pretty well too.   Tripp Posted on Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - 04:38 pm:        home!?! that's an awesome garage you got there! and what a buelltiful tuber!   Hodakaguy Posted on Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - 07:16 pm:        Thanks, I would really LOVE to build a shop but don't have the room, or the money. So I did my best to convert my small two car garage into a shop. The cars stay outside, only the Buell, my scooter (1961 Lambretta TV175) and my tools get to stay inside :-) I tried to talk the wife into selling the house and building a huge shop with a "house" built into one end, she didn't quite go for it. Not sure why, sounded perfect to me Hodakaguy (Message edited by hodakaguy on December 19, 2006)   Woody1911a1 Posted on Tuesday, December 19, 2006 - 07:57 pm:        "At first I thought..."Honey, I shrunk the bike!" me too ! my fist bike was a Hodaka 100B btw   Djkaplan Posted on Wednesday, December 20, 2006 - 08:34 am:        "I tried to talk the wife into selling the house and building a huge shop with a "house" built into one end, she didn't quite go for it. Not sure why, sounded perfect to me" I think every guy has fantasized about his perfect home/shop. Mine was a huge steel building with two bay doors and an apartment built into one corner. I got the blank stare when I proposed that one, too... so our garage is my shop.
