Wow, Didn't realize at first there was a 3 year lag. Have the fuel lines been replaced in the interim?

Hi Dan, Sorry but another person on the Locost site beat you to the punch by just a bit and he picked up the frame this afternoon. Thanks, Dave

Locost Super Seven frame. All you have to do is add just about everything! A variant of a plus 4 oriented towards De Dion rear suspension. Great start on your project. 46" wide. From back to front: 31" from back cross member to first, 53" to the second, 84" to first front round tube, 94" to front most round tube. I got it for free from someone who welded it together about 3-5 years ago but then he got a good job and was going to buy one instead. I've not done a thing with it in years and have realized at this rate I'm not going to get to it. Passing on the Free to good home. All my Miata parts are gone except a set of hollow-spoke wheels & tires which can be yours for very moderate cost (Warning - on was painted sort of a pinkish color). Tires are probably pushing 10 years old and should only be used for rolling around & posing for goofy grin sitting in a frame pictures.

No, the tax is paid by the purchaser; the seller does not have to pay a tax.. If the car is sold out of state there is no Washington tax applied. As Luckcy Dawg said, even if one purchased a vehicle in another state and moves here a tax (not a sales tax, another term is used) is applied. It is only if the purchase is recent (I think within a year) and also, I think, if a sales tax wasn't applied in the state of purchase. The main reason for this was people crossing the border to Oregon and purchasing their cars there and bringing it back into Washinton. Oregon doesn't have a sales tax. When I moved here from Oregon 12 years ago, I didn't have to pay the tax on my truck as it had been over a year since I had purchased it. Now back to our regular programming - Good luck with the sale. I might swing by Park Place and drool on your car (I promise to wipe it off).

Don't forget to add our Friendly Washington State Sales Tax which was pushing almost 9% back then. Puts a real damper on people who like to cycle through cars.

Thought he made a good decision - trees are bad news and a surprisingly small tree can kill you. Just ask the guy who nailed about a 6-7 inch tree with his Chevy PU outside my work, except you can't as he didn't survive. Also did the same thing with a motorcycle & 10 mph curve whose sign I somehow missed. But my obstacles were not trees but rather honey buckets at a small rest stop. Fortunately no one there & missed everything. Type in Dante's View, Death Valley in Google earth and you'll see the sharp right hander shortly before reaching the top.

My favorite by far is the North Rim. It is higher so it is colder and gets more rain so it is more foresty than the South Rim. It is less crowded, views are awesome, more wildlife, and aspens turn colors in the fall. Lodging & camping is far more limited however so if you plan on staying there check for reservations ASAP. Takes a while to get there and it is a dead-end road out to the Rim. If you are lucky enough to be there on a clear night, north of the Rim it continues to climb and, if I remember correctly, it levels out at around 9000 ft. With VERY few light sources around the number and brightness of the stars will knock your socks off. The South Rim also has it's benefits: It is more developed, has more museums and look out points. Aerial tours from the airport, vistor centers, ranger support, dining choices, variety of levels of rooms from basic through the El Tovar Hotel, etc. Being lower at 7000 feet and with way more lights the stars are not as prominent. More traffic, some roads are closed to private vehicles but there are tours. You are kind of reaching the end of the summer monsoon thunderstorm season. But be prepared for a surprise rain in the afternoon even if it looks clear during the day. I've seen it go from clear to thunderstorms and back to clear in just a few hours. Although you can seen the North Rim Lodge point from the South Rim (if you know where to look), the drive is about 200 miles and usually takes 4 hours depending on the amount of tourist traffic. I made it waaay less than that hitting the road pre-dawn on my Honda CBX.

I wonder how they will "kill" him off :smash: and go to Stig #3.

Found on craigslist in Seattle, WA area http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/1928384031.html No affiliation. Just a few drool marks on my shirt.

Hardtop is removable. I wonder if the doors are also (probably not)

It is pretty low but the initial ones are for touring bikes. If they come out with a sportier version later it might be higher if the mechanicals are up to it and the cams more aggressive to warrant it revving higher. But you'd lose some of that low-end torque. Alaskossie I think your assessment is a good one - thus it would be a good seven motor. I doubt it has a reverse tho, ala Goldwing. I haven't compared ratios with high revving bikes but the juicy amount of torque probably comes from a longer stroke ratio compared to peakier motors, thus lower redline. This is topic already being kicked around in another thread: http://usa7s.com/vb/showthread.php?t=4368 Being the past owner of a Honda CBX in-line six & even toyed with the idea of putting one in a seven just for the sound. Video with sound is posted here: http://usa7s.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2498 IIRC the Bim six it is only 20 inches wide and guestimating from photos the engine looks about 24 inches from the front of the valve cover to the rear drive output. And about the same height depending on if you kept the stock intake or fabbed something with less height. Already dry-sumped with built-in tank. A fairly tidy package.
