I drop mine off this Saturday for a cam swap, headpipe and tuning.
I will try to get a vid of it running before and after.

Put in cometic gaskets. I am running a .030 I think. Made a big difference in compression, without making her run hot. I just wanted my bike to be more 'ridable' is why I did the mods. Stock, they are hoorz. But its so cool here I prolly coulda gone more aggressive. Still, she has loads of torque compared to stock.

I had to sell her, tho Injured my leg and back almost 2 years ago and couldn't barely walk until recently. Made me really enjoy life again when I got back on my feet, even though I might have a permanent limp. I couldn't work for over a year, and I got denied disability coz I am not yet a citizen(even though I worked, and I have permission to work). My wife, as a cit, got $113/wk for me as a 'dependant'. This after I have paid thousands in taxes. Blergh. My life, mang. At least all the hospital bills only amounted to a couple thousand. If I injured myself like this stateside, I would have been out that much the first day Sry for the rant, it just all came out there.


I miss my bike, tho But I'll get another eventually. So lemme know AJS if ya wanna buy an 044 and a 241

Sexy AF! Reminds me of my youth! I had a 5.8litre '66 stang with a top loader and a 64 TBird. Think I still have a pic of the TBird thats like 25 years old... lemme dig her up...

Ah yeah, here we are:

390cid..uh wassat in euro speak? 6.4 litres?

Irish lose their minds when I told them my Dyna had a 1.5 litre engine. MOst of them don't have that much engine in their cars.

Ain't no room for hognoses in Europe

Yeah true close coupled long trailers and drags is the only way and now everything is getting rear steer even better

And here's some bike pics from the day:

Don’t see many Honda step through nowadays we used too call them chicken chasers

 

[ajschainsaws]

That's cool, don't see to many cabovers here these days. Back in 93-94 I pulled a set of double with a cabover KW, it had a stack of leaf springs that must have been over a foot tall, rode terrible. One day my pup trailer was down and I went to pick up a load, they happened to have a "super coil", it was 7' long and had the bows(that hold the tarp up, like a covered wagon) on my trailer pushed up out of the pockets, it was a 40 ton coil, my truck never rode so nice, just had to take the long way back .

I drove a tipper years ago with deep leaves it was awful empty tried your back
the rear tyres tilted inwards when empty and only levelled out when loaded

Iam ok on the saws at the moment I don’t ever buy any stills
But I might be sending a 420 over later in the summer now there under €300

Nada bother. Appreciate ya thinking of me.
Those 420's are good little saws.

That was on our way back up from Randys gtg a couple Decembers ago, I didn't get any donuts, the kids still wanted donuts so I bought another brand of prepackaged ones, I wasn't to hungry lol.

Is that common place to park motorcycles on the sidewalk?

They do in my white trash neighborhood

Is that what you guys call the cabovers. They can get into spots a truck with a hood can't.
Here's a picture of one just like the one I drove except the color. It had a 450hp motor with a 13sp trans, it pulled well, but the ride....

Yeah true close coupled long trailers and drags is the only way and now everything is getting rear steer even better

I pulled doubles/two 26' trailers behind the truck I drove like the one above, guys were amazed at how I could snake them around and how I could back them. Whats funny is I was only 22-23 when I pulled that setup, then I went to an eight axle setup, guys would look at me like I was trying to steal the truck when I go in it lol.

I drove a topper years ago with deep leaves it was awful empty tried your back
the rear tyres tilted inwards when empty and only levelled out when loaded

What's a topper. That beast I was driving you couldn't keep a pop/soda in the cup holder when empty, it wouldn't just spill, it would fly out of it, loaded was a little better. Now the steel coils they rode better than I did as the double trailers I hauled were air ride aluminum, one day I couldn't find my soda when I got in the truck, the next day and 180 miles down the rd I found it sitting right where I set it when I got loaded.

You just reminded me my 4300 is at a buddies house, need to grab it as well as my 2152 I've never ran lol.
The 241 is a nice little saw, too bad it's way more cash than a 4300, I have a ported 241, fun saw.

 

[00wyk]

I think I might advance the timing on the 241 tomorrow and see how it goes. Not hot enough in these parts I think I gotta worry bout over heatin.

Cabovers have come a long ways. The cab itself have their own suspension now

 

[SOS Ridgerider]

This was my truck back in early to mid 2000’s. The whole top of the cab had air suspension, and had a very unique way of driving. It kinda floated independently from the rest of the chassis. Living quarters like no other truck in Europe, in my opinion.
470hp Mack 12 liter. Rather anemic when pulling 114k lbs in the mountains.

Trailer had a 20” extension in the middle for hauling long stuff, and hydraulic steering on the trailer axles for getting around the tighter areas.
I did quite a bit of long and wide loads, and the trailer was worth its weight in gold sometimes.

How much room was there in the back of the cab Sondre?
Seems it would have a weird feel to it with the cab being independent from the chassis.
