    Please stop spamming this goddamned thread with your fucking SPAM,.. TOWLIE!!!

    Talk Cycles stay on subject.,,like most of your shit posts they are directed at accusing someone of shitpost all the while you are the shit poster.

    Like most threads a small amount of divergent subject matter is normal..however you are nothing more than a spammer after my posts.

    Wake up smell the coffee and get with the program.

    Maybe you could comment on the motorcycles you have had..?

    Maybe you could comment of something other than trying to derail all posts by me ?

    You are still included in any round I buy for the house because I know you are not the, towlie stoner doof cock you come off as.

    Don't you wish someone other than you or I would post something in this thread that has at least, somewhat, something, to do with cycles or at least some cycle trash comments ..?

    I am hoping to get some rides in this spring and find some good subjects to post about.

    I appreciate you backing me up PB, you are a class act.

    Hey, if you have problems with my threads nobody is forcing you to read them. There are a few women and men here who care about those things.

    My bud who lived in Daytona for 10 years used to host about 10 bikers at his place ( had those glossy, black laquer mirrored top living room furniture if you know what I mean..lol) and the lot next to his house was vacant so some tents and travel trailers would be parked there for people who made leather goods and stuff for sale downtown.

    Allways someone coming or going and instant new friends.

    He and his wife would do the same as you, work and party when they could...big fun.

    About 20 years ago (I never have forgot this insult) I pulled into a gas station outside the city limits, no ciggaretts.. just a station you know like, Hudson Oil, highway exit to nowhere kind of pit stop place after about 50 yards of pavement down off the overpass you just exited off of the pavement stops and gravel road takes off in the two directions...farmland empty wilderness where am I.....

    So, I hop off my scooter and this old guy maybe 70 or so is walking up to the widow on the wall to pay first for fuel at the same time I am I am in no big hurry just minding my own business we get there about the same time. I got off my bike sooner than he got out of his truck so as we aproached the window...old dude takes a step back and sais, "Hello there, Slick".

    I thought to myself should I be offeneded..?.. or feel like, ..right, old timie dude.... I am slick slick like like the polished knob of mine I just pulled out of your daughter.

    Does this old guy just go around throwing out insults to gain a advantage over any situation, as his opening line.?

    Is he a X military officer or cop ( who spent 30 years lying in court to pick peopls pockets).. Military officer of a high rank..who recently retired and now has no authority over, "everyone" he runs into like he did when he was in the system..?

    Was, "slick" a compliment like, hey.. nice jacket greaseball you got that crazy pomade hair there Elvis, ( I didn't but maybe he thought I was Brando in that 50's cycle flick) ?

    Was it a comliment in a non disparaging way like,... slick, I wish I could be like you I am all plastic and cant be like you, I cant dress like you, I am mister plastic business man pointing fingers at you due to my wasted old unslick style.

    Was I looking, "SLICK!!", like high falloot'n swells from up the hills way..?

    Am I a cunt who takes everything as a personal attack ?

    So, after several scenarios run thru my mind only a couple seconds have rolled by...I say back to him , "you can gohead on, there cool daddy"..I wave my hand across my body palm up and slide my hand away towards the window as a sign of passivity "non-conflict initiating".., palm up, you know,.. I didn't bow but the arm movent is the same...he just smirks at me and walks up to the widow and pays for his fuel.

    Never saw him again never forgot being called, Slick.

    Maybe, in another life he and I could have been friends and one night I could get drunk and punch him in the face.

    Mutha On Bitches!

    First off, railing against an old timer is like pissin in the wind... You're relieved, but you're still covered with piss.

    His point of reference is much different than than yours. A smart man not only realizes this, but takes the time to learn something positive from the encounter. The most out of everything, as it were.

    Stop being a punk, and take some time to learn whats worth learning....

    Yeap, that is exactly how I felt "way over 20" years ago, glad you liked the story.

    It would be cool if you posted some motorcycle themed info around this thread if you wanted to.

    I am kicking this thing over with some help from Pete's Bro not much else, an it is just beginning to sound like a piston may pop and perhaps roll us on down the thread pages towards something sweet, just over the next horizon.

    Most excellent I knew about the pan it is in your AV I had no idea of your other two bikes.

    Your pic makes me want to work more and get another bike..pure motivation.

    I never put a new front fender on my bike since my wreck and I have been looking at a older 2007 HD parts catalog and they offered a Sport Front Fender that is short like the one you have on the flat black bike in the front of your pic.

    HD no longer offers the Sport size fender and I have found a outlet on the net for it very expensive, and one on ebay.

    Do you have any info that may help me in locating that style of fender ?

    That size/look is perfect it may not fit a 07 883 forks but it loocs close.

    any help welcome.

    I can paint so it doesn't need to be factory finished to match my paint.

    I wrote back and forth with Barney quite a few times and am still concerned ...over a month ago he posted some issues about his leg he had to have more surguries and it looked like a tough call, that he had to make.


    How is he ?

    Thats a 1980 FX wide glide front end with a 16 instead of a 21. That fender was meant for another type of fork (later), and I made aluminum mounts to fit that FX lower leg . I'll have to look it up where I got that. Then I'll Pm it to you.

    That was what he seemed to be saying, trying to save it was making the rest of his recovery long and wasn't working.

    It isn't just about the physical injuries either,.. as very few know, he is in my prayers and can't wait to hear more from him.

    Dual plugging was very big with Shovelheads as they had such a huge piston dome, There was an un-quenched side of the piston. That bike is dual plugged, multi-spark (35 before, TDC, and 5 after) and single fire. Plus the coils are 120.000 volts. Wild stuff in the 90s. And those heads are billet aluminum from the Netherlands, hand machined with a handful made.

    I think I got this right ...it is obvious that dual spark plugs is to create more burn of the fuel and O2 mixture that is simple math to anyone who has some knowlege of a combustion chamber.

    It seems after doing some reading about "Quenching" that this is mainly because of a section of the cylynder head that isn't completely burning all of the mixture and it can create Hot Spots instead of a even heat of the cylnder chamber above the piston were the valves are.

    It seem this dual spark method is also for the lower octane feuls that are still prevelant (especially the 1980's) to create more energy with less octane. Unleaded type of thing as opposed to leaded fuels.

    It is interesting that one fires before TDC and the other after TDC .

    That explainds the two large coils.
