thanks john. looks like you picked up a 430? wow, congrats!!!

 

well, 2009 roadster show is over. car won first place, bike won first place, AND bike won best engine!!! didn't think it would win, let alone get 2 trophies! a happy day

 

Congratulations!!!













Bet you can"t go to sleep right now

 

thanks man. and ya, not feeling really tired! lol

 

Wow sick, congrats on the trophies you deserve them for putting in so much hard work

 

Nice!

The Mad Scientist prevails again!

Congrats, homie!

 

thanks, the hours (and money, lol) are countless between building the car and the bike. 7 months on the bike and 3 years on the car
just really happy about the bike. there was some other beautiful ones there and to take honors makes it all worth it. even more satisfying is that it is the first bike i have ever built!

 

thanks scott

 

You're welcome, Scott.

 

bike looks amazing!! nice work for sure, and gratz on the trophies!

 

well, it all comes down to today. bike is totally wired now and i ended up adding a bunch of trick stuff i hadn't originally planned on. have about 40+ hours just into the wiring (the old saying 10 pounds of **** stuffed in a 2 pound bag!) room was tight and had to use ever single sq inch of space to fit the 80-90 wires to make it all work and still be hidden.
gotta work half a day, but after that, it is run time!!!! ironically, the title finally came yesterday too. quite a process that was!
pics and vids to come.

 

i think it's kind of sad as cool as that custom is and how big the motor is, it still wont 'HAUL@$$' like a stock 4banger 600cc jap bike. :shrug:

 

well, for sure it is not made for taking turns. but, with 145rwhp and 140lbstq, it will be tough to beat by most other bikes out there! things like this i liken to rolling art work, some amazing creations out there since i have been delving into the chopper world. don't need to be the fastest with something like this to grab all the attention and respect comes from nearly every age and group. just did the big motor, well, because i had too! lol.
thanks for the compliment.

 

Don't wreck it! Did you ever get that Vespa to learn on?

 

wow, that was pretty bad ***. no vespa. gunna learn on this thing. just gunna start with a big open parking lot and go from there. just a couple more tweaks and it should be good. idle is the toughest part of any engine combo and i am close to perfect on this one.
it sure shakes the fugging earth though!! i like it alot.

 

Sickest car display I've ever scene...bike looks amazing.

 

thanks man
