  1. Dang it anyhow. Now you got me thinking again, We all know just how dangerous that can be.......... AND winter is nearly here which gives me time to act on my thoughts............. Is there already a provision to mount a stud on the foot pegs of a 1st gen or the floor boards of a 2nd gen? (I am assuming that the boards are the first part to drag on a 2nd gen?) I will have to go out tonight in the dark and see if I can figure out how to mount a set of sparkers on my 1st gen. I have sourced some magnesium bar stock to load up in the lathe............... Is there any interest in a set of magnesium feelers to fit a 1st or a 2nd gen?
  2. Here ya go. http://secure.billydump.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=263 These are Titanium which will make good sparks, But if you can find them magnesium makes even better sparks.
  3. Yup you missed some. In #1 , All powered vehicles that operate on a roadway, must be licensed and insured regardless of size or number of wheels. in #4 , everyone needs eye protection regardless of age. Number 4 and 5 contradict each other. If you are not required to wear a helmet, than why have to cover toes and torso? Number 7, dad will just say he is the primary operator and nothing will change. In #8 , Any vehicle that is operated by someone unlicensed will be impounded, regardless of number of wheels.
  4. Today we are supposed to break another hi temp record for the day. And there is not a cloud to be found anywhere. We are getting close to breaking a bunch of heat records. But the weatherman is promising that it will get cold enough to have SNOW!!
  5. There is someone that sells magnesium studs to put on your floor boards or whatever hits first, so that when you scrape you throw off a big shower of sparks to look cool.
  6. My Aunt nad Uncle have a farm. After the last cow escape he was mad and went to the farm store and bought the most powerful fencer they had. He was sneaky though, if saw us heading for the river we would have to cross the fence several times. He would turn it off while someone grabbed a blade of grass to test to see if it was on and then he would turn it back on as soon as someone touched it. then you could hear him laughing back up in the barn. He forgot that he was messing with another prankster. So when he went out to feed the cattle he would turn the fencer off. While he was out in the field somehow the fencer got turned back on........... I have no idea how........... But there were a bunch of us standing there laughing......... I might be a little different, I seem to like electricity. I used to hook myself up to a high voltage source and then I could make sparks jump out the end of my fingers. If you shook my hand or I could sneak up behind you and touch your ear.......... Maybe this playing with electricity explains some things about me....................
  7. I do almost nothing for cosmetic reasons. I did put in HID and LEDs to make me more visible and to let me see where I am going, and save wear and tear on the electrical system. I added a receiver hitch so that it will not be real noticeable but I can still pull my trailer. Other than that I have simply replaced or fixed stuff that was worn out or broken.
  8. I can not say that I have ever noticed the thank or like button not being there on yours or any one else post. On the other hand, you will not see a thank or like button on your own post. If you log in as someone else then they will be there, you can not thank or like your own post.
  9. The bulk of the dishonest commercials just ended now that the election is over.
  10. Defeated...
  11. Clintons home state is now NY. Because a poll told her to live there. The big theme on the radio this morning was "Is Polling dead?" EVERY poll had Clinton winning, Here in WI every poll had Finegold winning. Nearly every poll got it wrong. I hate hearing about polls constantly. I sure hope they are dead.
  12. Careful Puc, rumor is they like to peak in the windows to see who causes the first trouble..........
  13. A lot depends on how properly the powder coat was applied. Was the surface sand blasted to give some tooth for the powder to hold onto? If it is a real good quality powder and applied correctly it will be very hard to remove, If it was cheap powder or not cured correctly it is much easier to remove. Sooooooo You have anything from a not to bad of a job to a near disaster. I would try cleaning a small inconspicuous corner to see how the job was done before just diving in.
  14. Since you made sparks, check for blown fuses.
  15. If you are going to use gold bullets then you are most likely casting them yourself, and most likely loading them your self, which means it is easy to work up a load that will keep pressure under control. Silver is closer to lead in weight and is much more readily available, and much less expensive to stockpile.
  16. I actually like the daylight saving time better than the standard time. I wish it did not change back and forth but would stay on daylight saving time year round. I always go into depression in the winter because it is dark when I get to work and dark when I leave work. If it were daylight saving time year round I would at least see the light on my way home from work. When I get depressed I tend to take things out on others Especially ol @cowpuc
  17. But that means that I have to have a Win 10 machine which is what I do NOT want to have.
  18. My dog is not allowed to wake me up, she just sleeps till I get up at whatever that time happens to be. I am the one waking up the dog. Most of my clocks set themselves. but I do have one old one that tries to set itself, but it was made before they changed the dates. SO it will automatically jump ahead an hour in April and fall back an hour in October, So I get to set that one 4 times a year. The microwave and the car are the only other ones.
  19. IF the v-max cams will fit the 2nd gen heads, it would still help power, not as much as the bigger valve plus the bigger cam would do, but still better than stock. I have no idea about the carbs. If you have access to someone that can do machining for the speedo pickup the the rear end would also give a better gear ratio, or just swap in the gears.
  20. Not as I read it. Not doing but interested to me meant that I am not going to do a vmax conversion But I like technical stuff so I am interested. vs I fully intend to do the conversion but I have not started yet because I am still researching.
  21. The pole is missing an option, "intend to do but have not started" So I had to pick the not doing but interested
  22. That is usually how names get got. Circumstances happen and a name sticks or evolves out of that.
  23. I guess it worked when I sent that little taste of SNOW out east last week. Got Mr Big Tom to wake up...........
  24. I don't think these are meant to be a toy for the kids to play with after it is built by you. I think it is supposed to be a fun project for YOU to build and then set up on a shelf to look at and spin the mechanism once in a while just for giggles.
  25. My three vehicles have fairly simple names. the truck the car the bike OK so I aint real creative. At least the dog managed to get a name other than the dog, She is Molly. But then the fish are just the fish.
