    nice trike

    I don't know anything about it other than the vid and pic, but from the vents it looks like there is an air intake in front of the engine on the top, and outlets on the sides.
  2. If Rob ever walks up to you holding a part and says "Steve, this fell off your car", don't believe him
  3. not to worry Steve, if I make it, park next to me, and it'll look like a show car :thumbs:
  4. Unfortunately the only instructor I've had drive Frankn7 kinda sucked. I KNOW my car has a long way to go, but on one of his runs, he accidentally started off in 3rd and ran in 4th. In the other, he pushed brakes and gas at the same time in the stop box, and damn near hit a curb. I stopped asking him to drive it. He wasn't even close to my time. On the other hand, I've had Brian Garfield drive my vette a few times, and it's always a treat to ride shotgun and watch how it's supposed to be done. I tried all day long and the closest I got was .5 seconds away from him just jumping in my car and driving it (with me as a passenger, and talking to me the whole time :crazy: ) The thing is, these guys are most impressive in 2 or 3 spots in any given course, when they can just make the car dance in transition. I still have to learn a lot, but the biggest thing with me is putting the car through a left/right (or right/left) transition, while having to reduce speed in the middle. Comparing to what Brian was able to do, my braking was MUCH less decisive, and when I tried to be more aggressive, it was spin city. He just has the touch - as does the driver in your vid.
  5. from the 41 second mark to 44 second mark... WORK OF ART. Nicely done!
  6. I pray for no rain Actually mine didn't have a top to begin with, so I can't help you there.

    well, I think the speedo thing, and the chute were just BS. To me it's a styling exercise more than anything else, and it does have a bad azz attitude about it.
  10. I have never heard anybody scream in frankn7 As Jon once described the experience http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t214/ls2sam/8wjhvs.gif But then again, I happened to be on the victim side when mopho took me for a ride in his backyard. I had to ask him to slow down after 10 minutes of twisties.
  11. you got sniped.

    some of the vid is bs... but pretty cool http://lh6.ggpht.com/_v0mSChs8pu0/SmYKvhlRtjI/AAAAAAAABao/ArBNwSwil4Q/IMG_4108.JPG
  13. if they could only make their website work
  14. LOL... but it goes both ways. PG County police... the police report says that the student assaulted the officers. The security camera footage was mysteriously misplaced. First they couldn't find the tape, then they found it, but the time period in question was erased and nobody knows why. The footage is a private video. Turns out the head of the security camera system is the wife of the mounted officer in the video.
  15. hmmm. I think it's worth more than 4K. I wonder if the 550 is for sale too.

    My son Cameron (10) was enjoying the great outdoors - you'll have to click and go to youtube, blow up the vid to see the target. Ryan (7) shot his first arrow too. Other than that, some fishing, and hiking. Every time I go there, I wish I could stay there. Just gotta get the kids through school.
  17. Martin, why not run a little test to confirm this... unplug supply line to carb, and put a pressure gauge on it - on a day when you're home and have time to monitor it as pressure builds.
  18. I was thinking what is that annoying background noise... until the car stopped and I realized it's from the car I wouldn't mind having an electric car though.
  19. pump can't fail and keep running to put 2 or 3 more gallons in when both master switches are off. Martin, Call BP. I hear they have a big container they can put over your car to suck all the gas out of it. At this point, they might sell it for $1, but you might have to move it yourself

    came out here with the kids this weekend. Glad I couldn't take the seven this time around. It's the 9th of May. It was snowing last night. No accumulation. It's currently 31 degrees. Wind chill is 19.
  21. pretty wierd. the gas vabor pressure theory totally makes sense. how is your tank vented?
  22. :rofl:
  23. :iagree: Done with this topic. Thanks Martin
  24. Explain to me why it's a hot button issue with people. There must be a reason, right? I'm sure you think it's just racism. I assure you there is no issue with celebrating their heritage that ONE DAY OF THE YEAR. It has a lot more to do with the other 364 days of the year. Here is exactly what you said: "I bet they didn't do this on Saint Patricks day". I'm saying nobody would care if they did. nobody would even notice. I was going to say school, but schools are closed on Memorial Day and 4th of July. Again, you are missing the point. WHY DOES SEEING AN AMERICAN FLAG IN THE UNITED STATES CAUSE A POTENTIAL FOR VIOLENCE? Been pulled aside in the "random" search area at the airport many times. No problem. They're not doing anything I wouldn't do. And if I see a suspicious looking middle eastern running from a SUV, I will probably call it in. Call me racist.
