I get it Chief. I ran my own business for several years until I decided the boss was an A$$HOLE for making me work so many hours. It took me getting hurt and off work for 6 months to realize I didn’t have to work so much to live. I’m semi-retired and hoping to make it completely retired within the year.

I’m jealous that you’ve ridden 50k already, hard for me to find the time.

Wow, not only does the picture seem to show her existence but she’s sitting close enough to appear she might like him. 🤣🤣 Happy Birthday.

Part 49 of what Carl? Your schematic is blank. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is it just me or is the axle too far forward for good pulling?

I don’t think Larry is making those anymore. I built a set for my bike, I’ll be glad to share pics and drawings if you want to tackle it yourself. Scroll down to video labeled Newkirk to see them, they fold up to get on/off the bike.

I’m thinking maybe a lift for hot steel in a blacksmith shop. ???????????

I know the used the later rear drive Cougar and T-Bird pumpkins, not sure what else. They are 7.5” rear ends.

Wow, glad for you that the dealership is taking care of you. This is another example of why I shy away from new designs of anything, there is an inherent learning curve and issues to be worked out. Not to mention my technophobias 😬😬😬. I seem to end up like your buddy’s story. Hope this gets you miles of smiles.

I have a friend into hams. I can forward pics to him to get an idea.

The points are the most common issue for the pump. They are easily replaced and if my memory is correct they are around $30. Don’t use the cheap internet pumps, they don’t hold up.

Hannigan uses Ford car rear ends, they cut them down and make the independent suspension axles. The pumpkin needs to be mounted upside down as drive shaft rotation on the bike is opposite of a car.

I like organic on the rear, less lockup.

Search rampless trailers and watch some videos. I’m considering one if the day comes we decide to haul the bike, now we just ride the whole trips. No way I’d put a heavy bike on the hitch.

A couple of great Reagan-isms.

Why would they adjust the valves at 5000? Way early.

Are all 4 choke/enrichers closing fully?

Are they seated correctly? Vacuum leaks can cause it to go high. Also check your cable routing that they are closing.

Easy choice for me. Marlin 1894 .44mag. Dad bought one new in ‘75 or 76 to deer hunt with. We hunted deep woods where a 75 yard shot was hard to do so we didn’t need high speed guns. I took my first few deer with that gun and bought its twin right after high school. I can’t even estimate the number of deer I’ve taken with it. It’s just automatic that I reach for it the 2nd Saturday in November, I go back 35-40 years when it goes bang. There’s a safe full of different rifles and calibers but the first day of season is reserved for the 44. One of my brothers has dad’s rifle, we don’t hunt together often but it sure is fun to sit in a tree and hear that distinctive boom on a frosty morning.

It’s crazy how different the laws are between states, in KY all you need to sell a gun is to have a gun for sale. No permit needed to buy, sell, or carry. I keep my CCW permit so I can carry in other states. Show a CCW card and no waiting to pick one up at a retailer. Our permits are weapon permits, not just guns. Switchblade, brass knuckles, saps, etc are legal.

Sure am glad Carl’s wearing blue jeans in that pic, not just chaps.

Regular key. I had some made at a local locksmith.

Welcome to the circus, you’ve found the best place to be to keep her going.

The first engine I ever tore down was an old Chevy 350 that used the paraffin based Quaker State and probably never changed it. Trying to learn how to pull the heads on an engine when I couldn’t find the bolts was rough on an inexperienced teenager. Sludged up to the rockers and a rod thru the pan. NOW BACK TO SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING. Sorry for the hijacking.

I’m not sure I want to know where they stuck those clamps on her to fly. Looks painful. 😬😬😬
