What's the history on that failure?

S.C.

1986 RM250 ridden by a moron. All I got was the engine, The Junkyard dropped it off since I was the only one there who could bore a cylinder and rebuild a crank. And most everything else that required thought and skill. That's how I got the blown Ducati too.
So my guess on the RM is either no oil in gas or carb varnished up and running lean as a corn beef sandwich. Maybe both.

I don't know how people can not hear/smell/sense something is not normal with their machine. I'm a bit OCD and have saved two catastrophic engine failures due to failing cam train hardware, but even the average idiot should be able to notice a tick, whine or whatever, in an engine, that wasn't there before.

a little Iraq action

A gift for my wife from a buddy. (I dont

Lobster in Ensenada the combined weight was nine pounds

He drove THROUGH a cinder block wall. The water is a Koi pond with around $150,000 worth of koi. We ran a chain through the cab and lifted it straight up and out. When my guy set it on the ground I pulled the chain and then out of habit I closed the door. It latched. Hyundai makes a solid product

I was doing some diving. Trying for a reverse one and a half. Kept getting 1 and 1/3rd

it’s called “Critter”

tales of an SR71 pilot..

a little long but a great read. Mach 3.18 In-Flight Breakup Of An SR-71 Blackbird by Bill Weaver, Chief Test Pilot, Lockheed Among professional aviators, there's a well-worn saying: Flying is simply hours of boredom punctuated by moments of stark terror. But I don't recall too many periods...

whats the stream work Tim?

Removing about 350 yards of debris to keep the channel clear. The dam is for drinking water supply to the city.

 

[Qwik]

He pulled a bunch out of the area in the upstream pic

 

[maui]

350 yds is a LOT of material. I think most tandem dumps are 16 yds? Almost 20 truck loads?

 

[Qwik]

Roughly. Four days of moving rock. Part of my job is supervising contractors but these guys are pros

 

[Qwik]

 

[bowtie]

I can think of worse ways to earn a living.

 

[Qwik]

Try spending eight hours standing in 34degree water doing inflow reads.

 

[bowtie]

insulated hip waders

I think I could sit in that stream and dredge for months.

Uhhh...what's the backstory on these?
Is the 916 a new addition to your stable?

Wine keg in basement of Heidelberg Castle. Just enough to get you through the winter. Check the human down front.

I'm so excited.

 

[BIggerDanno]

Bought mine new in early '79 for $3420
Was the sweetest sound I've ever heard!
Sounded like it was going a million miles an hour going through the gears.
Top speed was 130 at 6000 elevation.

 

[gsxrian]

Modified CBX - F1 sound ..... best sounding bike EVER!


Modified CBX - 20k rpm

 

[BIggerDanno]

 

[Team222]

Why the Bancquart CBX can rev to 20k, you decide? It's a marketing tool for his performance shop.

The CBX valve float issue was apparently addressed as follows (quoting Lionel Brancquart):-

"...we have worked a lot on the weight of the moving and rotating parts! we are 55gr lighter (tappet, valve +2mm tige de 4mm, retainer titanium Xceldyne, springPSI, twin cones, pellet) x24 parts all the parts have a surface treatment, the connecting rods are longer and lighter to accommodate piston in 66mm 2 segments and above all we have a very efficient ignition from Emanuel Guyonnet (who manufactures all the ignition for Guy Coulon Tech3)..."
