First Roll Out
« on: July 14, 2015, 04:34:27 PM »
Well here she is her first tool out into public view. The bike formerly know 56 with a Honda gc190 will be know throughout the world as "The Wonder". Well what do y'all think?

Alright Reese . :)

I think you built that intake manifold to balance the exhaust . ;)
Are you bringing it to Portland ?

Yes she will be in the stable for sure. I don't know if it works or not maybe if there's time for finishing touches I may get to ride her. About that intake just don't look to close at it or the muffler not my best welding for sure. It kinda sounds like there going to be a lot of clean up jobs in town to be done. When are you planning to get there?  ???

Imagine yourself if you will, you spent the last three days tinkering with your bike that wouldn't stay together in Portland. Your working in 100° plus or minus the heat factor. You go for a test run until it can't get fuel and dies a mile and a half away on the backside of a hill. Good news it went over the hill with no problem. Picture is of the front side back side goes further down. Boy is it hot out here.

Sideways ... Most likely why the bike quit , Reese . ;)

I had about the same thing happen a week or so ago . But , my bike quit because the motor was starting to disintegrate . Bad lower rod bearing ...

You probably just called for a pickup . I had to push a mile or there about . It was hot here , too .

Pd it's hard to call for a pickup when you have the keys to the pickup. So yea I push it all the way home.  :'(
