I don't hate many people, but Phelps and his dingbat bunch of inbreds are at the top of my list.

got the head off today - anyone have a good suggestion for cleaning ridiculous amounts of carbon deposits from a valve? (don't reallywant to trash them for new valved unless I have to)

no interest until they get the rotary in production...

Even though I don't live there anymore...I'm still glad to call the CT Rockers my boys - they always put on good events - this one starts & ends at Hartford Vespa. If I had the means, I'd be there.

Yeah - my friend lives in Austin, about 125 miles from me...I think I'll go visit him in 45 minutes :)

not sure yet - it's burning oil and sounds like shit. I'm running a compression test tomorrow to see where we stand. it's an 03 with about 15k miles on it - I'm just gonna make a wild guess and say the guy who owned it before my buddy spent too much time on one tire...from what I have read the...

Hi, guys..long time no see I am still bikeless (and again jobless) but I found something to keep me busy during my slow days: A friend dropped this off at my house. Pretty sure it is going to need a complete rebuild, but I'm slowly getting into the engine when I have time. (It's a...
