Title: How Dumb am I? Join the rush to answer.... Post by: FieroBUZZ on September 16, 2006, 11:59:19 am Ever start the day a bit slow and regret the inability to make a swift decisive move to increase your herd of toys? ::)
How dumb am I? Don't hurt your fingers in an attempt to answer quickly. Saturday means I get to be wheelman for the garage sale tour. Well, we stopped at the second one and they had a home made mini bike turned chopper. Not one of those China jobbies, but a real old style mini bike. Extended front forks ,homemade coffin tank, diamond plate steel seat, 2 inch long exhaust stub... you get the idea. Sign said it needed a carb kit as the diaphram leaked. I looked at that sucker for a long time. I knew it wouldn't fit in the truck, but still it was pretty cool. Went back to the truck and asked the wife if she thought I should get it. "Another piece of crap to sit in the yard" and a dirty look. I said well on the way home if it's still there I'm grabbing it. 3257 yard sales later (and two grocery stores) we drive by. Was it there? Pffffffft I don't think so! :'( . . . . . . . . They were asking the princely sum of................................ $20.00 Title: Re: How Dumb am I? Join the rush to answer....

Wait a minute before any wrong ideas I mean how long it would last around Gary's grinder. Hey Gary what am I supposed to do with the gold roof you left behind. Dan

I'll bring it back with me when I drop off the Blue Thingy. ;) Cheers, Derek PS I have a lot of "pride" in that "gay" blue and gold car. :D Title: Re: How Dumb am I? Join the rush to answer....

Pffffffft I don't think so! :'( Before anyone asks, no we do not have a new two-wheeled toy. :) BUT... I am thinking about converting one of the bikes from carb's to MPFI. Believe it or not, the hardest part appears to be designing a common intake manifold to fit within the space available without creating a breathing problem. :D |
