RailRoad bob still about Hans or is he off Bear hunting??

Iwasthinking about him too Max.

Hi guys,

I haven't logged on in a long time, been busy working away from home for many weeks.

Glad to be back on, and looking forward to seeing all the cool shit that has happened.

Glad that Big Jim, started this thread. Hope all works out well for everybody in the coming year. Gary, hope things turn around for you down in Texas. Your knowledge is your most valuable asset. Safe and prosperous New Year, all.

I have been away a while, hurt, retraining... book learning isnt as easy as it used to be 35yrs ago lol. I didnt even know the site had gone down until yesterday when I went to show a buddy the " best bike building site on the web".
I see my build log is gone, no biggy, still at it anyway.. or rather not much has changed with it. Super Bob's too, riding buddy.
Hosedragger has trike axle plans up, must mean ya built the trike.. have to have a look for the build.

Good to be back. Thanks Gary for putting it back up.

p.s. where is biker radio?

Ken gave up biker radio.

What has Ken been up to? I haven't seen him on the board in a long time.

That sucks, I thought it was awesome!!

He's on my facebook, I'll give him a shout.

How about Zuezdog? He was doin some inspirational stuff.

Zues popped up on CW awhile back. He sold his bike to one of the other members (I think it was Rod) to finish. Sounds like he's doing okay.

That is a nice build..like the front end on that, tried to get in touch with Jaxon, not much success

I think Yona stays in touch with him.

Howdy y'all,

Glad to be back.
Been busy with the new job, family and all.

The bike is doing not so great. Last year decided to rebuild the big bore engine.
This was the original engine I used for the build.
Bought an aftermarket gasket kit. Piece of crap after being told it was the best on the market.
Missing rubber "o" ring sleeves and a valve cover gasket. Also the MLS (multilayer steel gasket)
was suppose to prevent retorquing the head after the break in period.
Well that didn't happen. Oil leaking from the head gasket. Retorqued and still leaks.

Sooo, this year I'm replacing the head gasket with a well known brand, (Wiseco)
Also swaping out the transmission shafts and gears from the spare stock motor I have. Bottom end feels a little loose.

I'll be posting pics and notes of last years engine rebuild and this years headgasket and tranny swap.
Hopefully this will happen in the next week or two in the projects buils section.

In the mean time, I'll try and visit a little more often as time permits.

Glad to be back,
