The wrap is less about the rider’s legs and more about trying to keep the exhaust gasses hot all the way through the pipes for better flow / scavenging. Was a standard cafe-racer mod in the 1960s for BSA / Triumph / Norton riders trying to eke a little more performance out of their bikes to “break the ton”.
That being…
I think they meant it like ‘orange is the new black’ - re: fashion color, not race. At least that’s how I read it at the time.
This is probably bougie-bland in comparison, but one morning many years back, I was out taking some flakes of hay to the goats in the barn when I felt something on my head - I looked up and realized a rat was peeing on me.
“Well, the riot failed, but at least they just have us on standard prison work of breaking rocks.”
Well, clearly she’s not the sharpest pencil in the box, considering she’s extremely pregnant yet going about the city without a mask in the midst of a pandemic. The 911 calls just prove she’s a racist as well as being stupid.
That’s some good Kinja right there.
COTD.
How about $11k for both cars?
He did say “please” first. Threatening death is just the next step from being polite.
I’d say if you are going to shoehorn a car engine into a motorcycle, you’d be hard pressed to do better than Die Moto (http://michaelsturtz.com/die-moto/)
Almost done in Binky time is probably another year.
I think its going to get a lot more complicated before they finish the escargot in 2032.
You and me both. I may have been a little late to the party (discovered BOM & Project Binky in 2018), but my hat is as pointy as those who have been fans since 2013.
Not anti-binky at all. They have to stuff in the drivetrain AND lighten the weight enough to carry around Binky and STILL meet the weight requirements the bus is licensed for.
This damn series actually had me (briefly - I managed to pull myself back from the abyss) searching for reviews of slide hammers.
I don’t even have a pressing need for a slide hammer.
Who woulda thunk they’d be on episode 31 in 2020?
It should be noted that those (self-identifying) Muppets from Shropshire also have a companion series to Binky called The Escargo in which they are converting a library van to an RV / portable shop for when they (finally) take Binky out on rally courses. Although in…
Being from the left coast, seeing the rust on the cross-brace in the engine bay makes me concerned that there is worse underneath where the road salt truly can work its evil.
The 6-speed swap made me lean towards NP, but ultimately, the rust has me leaning back to CP. Too bad as I’ve heard from a couple of folks that…
Oh, shit. I *loved* Tempest back in the day (and BattleZone). This would have been right up my alley if we hadn’t been so financially strapped in the late 70s/early 80s.
The interior of that Lotus certainly has the overstuffed ‘early whorehouse’ upholstery I remember from late-70s / early-80s cars. Colin Chapman apparently was quite the player.
