Mark me up to the “you just discovered this?” crowd. We were doing this in the 70's + 80's. There were no good quads at the time. You made your own. Taller tires-different size pulleys -over ridden governers-pull start-up pipe exhausts. Same fun had as these guys-just no you tube videos. 

Lets see how long before a very similar story ends up over on The Drive.

Do you know if they just got those Stainless cars-or just got rid of them? I saw in one of my classic car magazine about 3 of them sold as a group for $1 million recently.

Dunno if you can say it’s behind the times. Between FBMarket place/Craigs , every lame 80's bike gets its tail cut off and a tiny seat and small bars doubles(?) it’s asking price. And All the custom bike that come across my feed are sporting the same look. Massive worthless tires-no front fender-and take off every…

Are we done doing cannonball runs across country? (Since the record has dropped like 6 times.)

I’ve worked for collections that the owner was a man of means-and the toys sat. Until that magic Sunday where you had the moring free-Then it was pick which of the dozen cars you were going on the 50 miles ride to grab lunch. (And they all better start at any moment!!) If this happened 4 times over a summer it was a…

Oh yea. 163 ft lbs of torque will find any weak link in your car. I have a hillclimb car that had run ther gambit of motors over the last 20 years. The last was a swap from a build GSXR (180 hp-79 ft lbs) to a Busa (185 hp 104 ft lbs.) It broke mounts that were fine for every engine. And if you bolstered one mount,…

I thought the same thing. The salemanship to sell this is as remarkable as the fact it works.

NSU sighting! Do a shot!

I guess everyone is too young to remember the original Italian Job?

The indoor rally circuit was something that came from Englands crappy weather-and Lucas’s even crappier electrical system.

Wisconsin maded the mistake of asking people to vote on a new slogan for their plates a while ago. They couldn’t use the number one pick by far: EAT CHEESE OR DIE

And what happens if you miss  first shot?

My $65 one the wife got me for Christmas has a clearer picture than the shops $950 Snap On one.

Umm-ever hear of rallycross?  https://www.scca.com/articles/2014455-rallycross-what-fun

I got a racing buddy-extremely intelligent-and a bit quirky-but thats how they come I guess. He was working in computers before we all had them. Well he had been hillclimbing an old Alfa-and he showed up in a new Porsche. Company got sold-stock split etc made him a millionare overnite. One day about 20 years ago,I…

Wow! I was ahead of my time. Back in 1979,(yes i’m old) We had our senior class trip in Washington DC. And it was gonna be an 8 hour bus ride. And we wanted tunes for the ride. I made a wooden box-and put 2 5" round speakers out opposite sides-a casette player out the top-and a motorcycle battery-with a small 110v…

My 40 year old one is exactly the same as the modern ones.

Dammit! I want it! To tie in with another of your stories—thats the car I want to do a Smyth kit pick-up. TDI-cuz I’m that crazy old hippie that runs cars on veggie oil. (I have over 300k on various vehicles on the slop.) If you haven’t heard, VW’s suck! And I had 440k on my 92 Jetta. The car I replaced it with is a…
