Scooter Bob Posted May 3, 2012 #1976 Posted May 3, 2012 It looked like it was on its original foundation. It sure does. The guys at SMOKSTAK.com had this to say about the engine pics... "It's a Y V probably a 50hp. The 50hp has a 14in bore 17in stroke, like mine. Being in South Carolina it probably ran a cotton jin or an ammonia compressor? " "Yes its a YV, Hot bulb head. pre 1925? Looks like they are having a Great Trip!http://www.smokstak.com/forum/images/smilies/wave.gif J.R. " FYI for those that are interested... Hot bulb head Diesel means that the engine didn't have enough compression to light the fuel when the engine was cold. They heated a metal rod with a gas flame that would get enough heat in the cylinder to light the fuel (think glow plug on a much slower time frame). Once the engine was warm and working, it would do the compression ignition thing all on it's own. I haven't done any serious research on this engine yet, but I believe it is a 2 stroke, and from the look of the chamber attached to the crankcase, it probably uses the downward piston movement to create pressure for the air to scavenge the cylinder at the bottom of the stroke.

ragtop69gs Posted May 3, 2012 #1978 Posted May 3, 2012 That looks like the new 2013 RSV engine. I'm not sure they'll have room for the cassette deck though

etcswjoe Posted May 7, 2012 #1983 Posted May 7, 2012 Anybody had a phone call requesting bail money:rotf: Not yet, had a couple close calls with the guy I was riding with this weekend.
playboy Posted May 11, 2012 #1984 Posted May 11, 2012 It's been almost two weeks on this target posted 4/29/12 and we were really getting some momentum going.
jointventure Posted May 11, 2012 #1985 Posted May 11, 2012 Yep, I agree, so if no one has a problem with me changing the target. How about: A pic of You, your bike and a beverage delivery truck. Could be soda,beer or water. [ATTACH]67089[/ATTACH] like this one.
playboy Posted May 11, 2012 #1986 Posted May 11, 2012 Haven't Check the list but thats sounds original great Idea. Just glad it wasn't your bike your wife and the milk truck.
Flyinfool Posted May 11, 2012 #1987 Posted May 11, 2012 Some of us do not have a wife.................yet.

playboy Posted May 15, 2012 #1989 Posted May 15, 2012 If you would change it to a pic of you your lawnmower and a beverage truck I would stand a better chance of getting it That is the only thing I seem to find time to ride the last two weeks.
ragtop69gs Posted May 16, 2012 #1990 Posted May 16, 2012 Ok this has sat on my desk for a few day's, it's time to move on.
ragtop69gs Posted May 17, 2012 #1992 Posted May 17, 2012 I'm at loss at the moment for a target. How about I sell this next target for a $10 bid to one of the St. Judes auctions? Any takers?
jointventure Posted May 17, 2012 #1993 Posted May 17, 2012 Looks good to me too. What's the next target?
ragtop69gs Posted May 17, 2012 #1994 Posted May 17, 2012 No takers OK your next target is You, your bike and a Patriot Guard Riders Flag Line
etcswjoe Posted May 17, 2012 #1995 Posted May 17, 2012 No takers OK your next target is You, your bike and a Patriot Guard Riders Flag Line I like it !
KarlS Posted May 24, 2012 #1996 Posted May 24, 2012 This game just stalled without me being able to play anymore. Now get out there and and get the .
dynodon Posted May 24, 2012 #1997 Posted May 24, 2012 Problem with a PGR flag line is it isn't always right n ext to the bikes. Also, the flag lines are quite solemn occasions. I haven't been able to get to a PGR event for some time, maybe the target should be reset for a more fun thing?
eusa1 Posted May 24, 2012 #1998 Posted May 24, 2012 Many folks doing pgr parades next mo:whistling:nday.
etcswjoe Posted May 24, 2012 #1999 Posted May 24, 2012 My problem is if I am at a PGR event that has a flag line I am in it.
dynodon Posted May 24, 2012 #2000 Posted May 24, 2012 Many folks doing pgr parades next mo:whistling:nday. Mike, good thought, but one problem, never seen a PGR flag line in a parade. Flags on bikes, but not the flag line.
