Re: TRIKEZILLA - BMW V12 Trike

The bare frame in the two pics give it a good perspective as to the wow
factor it will project out on the street.

Keep up the pics, this will be a good one. :banana-dance:

big brother knows best

Seems that passage and signing of a recent new law by the gov of florida has made me a habitual and repeat felonious offender.

While passed to restrict the internet cafe it has given its wording made the use of computers and smart phones illegal.

Wonder if it'll be a good excuse at work. :D

Re: Welder

Preheating the weld area to about 500f helps improve starting weld penetration. I use and electric dual temp heat gun that has a 550 / 1100 f selection.
Remember the mantra "practice, practice, practice" Your welds will improve.

After a relaxing bath, Monica Lewinsky was looking at herself naked in a mirror...remembering her time with Bill Clinton. Her frustration over her inability to lose weight was depressing her. In an act of desperation, she decided to call on God for help... "God, if you take away my love handles...

Re: Making Cable Ends

I like that little solder pot plus the reminder you need the specific flux. What type of solder did you use?
