Decks become bulkheads, bulkheads become decks, hatches become doors and vice versa! Fore goes topside and aft goes below decks! Madness!

It’s way too early to be speculating on the economic impact of this COVID-19. Cuts have focused on low wage jobs is because those are the easiest to eliminate and are more likely to be directly affected by the virus. However, the information I’ve been seeing trickle out looks grim. I expect we’re going to be seeing a…

Yeah that’s pretty weak; our bad. I’m going to start suggesting we all wait until hangovers subside before we do morning posts.

Please, just stop. The rotary, once Mazda moved away from carbs and plentiful oil injection, was a disaster. There's no reason to think what's essentially a two stroke engine is going to be better here. Ive' had first and second generation rx-7's, so I'm not a hater.  But give it up already.

Well, today’s your lucky day; your grievances have been heard!

Ditto..
I wanted to make my Suzuki VX800 go 150mph.
Custom High comp pistons
and VS1400 drive hub....
tuned carbs....
Check
blown front conrod
then;
shrink ported heads
mega cycle cams
custom Carillo Rods (which Ill never get to see again)
custom 5th gear at .75
nology coils and custom wires - obscure NGK plugs too
41MM FCR carbs

The question really is what’s on the b-side.

“It was huge and ungainly, with a perchance for understeer thanks to the turbocharger kinda tact on to the front (hence the Blower name)...”

What fun is learning from the mistakes of others? Obviously I have to make my own VERY DIFFERENT and also VERY STUPID mistakes to learn anything of value.

Take it from me as I’ve been down the making-it-faster path and regretted it: keep it stock. I own your bike’s arch nemesis, the Kawasaki AR80 and a friend talked me into making it “faster”. I really haven’t ridden it since. I got a big bore kit but it was cheaply made and the cylinder wasn’t bored perfectly round and…

I have a fun Mt Rose highway story.

Ah, I’ve never been sure how many of the contributors over there have much interaction with each other outside of the comments. I’ve been reading Hooniverse since Day 1, but I wasn’t sure if he was still with the lighting products place; he’s not around as frequently as he used to be. I was kinda surprised to see that…

Absolutely, Pete’s a good friend of mine. I’ve been on his show a couple times, and he helped hook me up with the LED lighting for my Scamp trailer (that’s his day job).

Damn, flip those forks around to make a poor-man’s trailing axle would tighten up the steering something fierce. Slot in a NInja 250 twin engine and Bobs your uncle you’ll hit the Ton at least once before you die.

No one could ever have questioned your 2-wheeled street cred, but the fact that you commuted on an MB5 for over a year is goddamned legendary.

These are very cool! Ever talked MB5s with Tanshanomi over at Hooniverse? Pretty sure he was a committed MB5 rider for a while.

Yes, this whole thing has certainly put a huuuge spotlight on the dangers of fast travel across the globe. I am not sure much will change post COVID19, but less planes in the air and cars on the road is a good thing. I really hope more people who can, start working from home on a permanent basis, and more business…

Perhaps one of the lessons we’ll take from this pause is that, yes, it is often possible to do business in ways that don’t involve jumping on a plane, just as for many people it is possible to work without commuting.

You must have some awesome stories!

There were far too many people flying around for no real good reason anyway.
