That sucks.
 I lost a faithful fur family member a couple years ago.
 I feel your pain.

General Chatter / Re: Why so fast?
March 15, 2024, 10:36:36 AM
After years of racing and lots of street shenanigans I am now at the point where speed is not important.  In fact I would rather ride a smaller bike on back country roads at a very leisurely pace.
 The thrill of speed doesn't elude my memories. Neither does the memory of multiple broken body parts that came with it.

Quote from: SoCal250 on February 22, 2024, 05:16:16 PM"In most markets, the bike gained a six-speed gearbox, with the now-familiar left-foot change and one-down, five-up shift pattern, although bikes sold in the UK had the top ratio blanked off."
Really? :umm:

From what I've read there were 2 RD versions 6 speed and a 5 speed
 The 5 speed was essentially the same as the other but without the 6th gear. Supposedly that was in line with 17 year olds and less age motorcycle license rules.

Appreciate you Mark.
 That I'm sure is a lotta work just so we can be the cool kids on the block!

General Chatter / Hell of 2 stroke!

Pretty amazing stuff the Nazi engineer's were creating.

"The Junkers Jumo 223 was an experimental 24-cylinder aircraft engine based on the Junkers Jumo 205. Like the Jumo 205, it was an opposed piston two-stroke diesel engine. It had four banks of six cylinders in a rhomboid configuration, with four crankshafts, one at each vertex of the rhombus, and 48 pistons. It was designed for a power of 2,500 horsepower at 4,400 rpm, and weighed around 2,370 kg.

Only one example is known to have been built. It is rumored to have been taken to Moscow at the end of World War II, where development may have continued. The engine was contemplated for use in the four-engine Messerschmitt Me 264 long-range bomber, https://planehistoria.com/me-264-amerika-bomber/

My teenage years car was a 62 Chevy Belair straight 6, 3 on the tree.
 It didn't have a pvc but it dud have a breather with a tube to the ground.
 Dirty and nasty but super reliable.
