We've reserved our very best King/Queen seat by Drag Specialties for the project.

Waiting to hear from Wayne re. his new job. I only have to move the EV engine from my Suburban to the pickup, order and pickup the BBQ, and throw a bag in the truck. I hope we can pull this off

My mother always said if you put your mind to anything you can do it.

Are there any specific needs for this Frankenstein bike?
I'm a bit out of your way, but might be able to bring stuff to Cedar Vale.

It looks like we have an engine, frame, seat and miscellaneous other parts. I think a transmission and wheels would definitely be helpful.

Our builder will have to decide if the engine should be fuel injected or carbureted. I don't even know if conversion is possible. In fact, if I could build a bike myself I'd probably do it.

Wayne cannot make the trip this weekend which was a big part of this whole adventure. I am still ready to deliver my engine to Arkansas and take some decent BBQ to Lindale. Who knows, this still might happen as scheduled, but I believe it will be best if we let Wayne decide when he can make the trip. I'll be prepared to take time off work with very little advance notice.

Don't wait for me Muley. I have too much drama going on to get away.

Dr frankie thinks carbs...I want to run it without a computer. like ive said im a luddite, with a big hammer! I can build manifolds! aint to much metalurgy speaking i cant do! I got a torch, I got a welding mochine...need a trans and driveline! etc.

OK, the parts car is headed out early Wednesday morning with an engine and all of my EV parts I'll probably need as soon as they cross the Mississippi

A friend is visiting family in Little Rock, thereby saving me a three day trip. He's stopping in north Alabama for another load of stuff including a frame. Our Dr. Frankenstein will be flush with body parts just in time for the next big electrical storm in NW Arkansas.

If anyone wants to clean out their shed like I did, now's your chance to contribute to science.

Gotta love it. I like seeing builds and this one sounds like a real doozy.

The

doesn't sound too bad either.

Does this run include the oleo ranch? We're getting a crash & burn collection ready to post in the classifieds, but Ken would like to give the project some stuff. Once the C&B post expires, so does access to the parts. We understand that you won't be on the run.

having a son with autism really keeps me from traveling much. after i get everything here im going to figure what i need to have a Moto Guzzi. Im going to put this honda up for trade/sell to get parts...

Not crossing the Red River this time, just the Mississippi

I think the Lindale run will happen eventually, that is, when I convince a certain someone to be copilot.

But please accept my sincere thanks for the invitation and the offer of parts for this project.

This project is crying out to be a sidecar hack....

troyhamilton · « **Reply #47 on:** February 18, 2017, 04:09:12 PM »

this could happen if i run across one. interesting thought, I have several junk honda 350 four wheelers. the drive line looks like it could maybe work? but ive never had one apart. dont know the ring and pinion either lol but id rather KISS, Keep It Stock Stupid on this one. I can weld so who knows. i can fabricate. who knows, but this monster will live!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sparks will fly!

troyhamilton · « **Reply #48 on:** February 18, 2017, 04:18:49 PM »

troyhamilton · « **Reply #49 on:** October 14, 2017, 09:24:21 AM »

Lannis · « **Reply #50 on:** October 14, 2017, 12:50:17 PM »

Thanks for the pictures!

That's starting to look like a real motorcycle. Ought to be able to log some serious miles on that ...

Does caring for your son allow for any time to get out and clear the cobwebs and ride for a day or two?
