FAQ?

--Does this group have one? Reason I ask: I'm riding something
that's not quite a motorcycle but it's closer to one than anything else I
can think of, at least as far as the powerplant goes. I'm looking for a
*usenet* group where I can discuss the various things I'm doing to it. I've
found a few web-based discussion areas, but honestly I haven't found a web-based
forum that's worth spit. Any suggestions appreciated. Oh, and here's a link
to the contraption I'm working on: http://www.nmpproducts.com/artcar0607.htm
--I'm told the 150cc engine is generally referred to as a "GR-6" and
that it may be a Honda knock-off...
--Thanks,

 

That's not a car or a bike...it is a parade float.

Yeah !! To tell the difference between a real bike and a junk
contraption parade float, just contrast it with the stuff you see
on TV from OCC, Jesse James and the bike buildoffs and uhhhh.....

 

Wow, I love it! Is it amphibious? 8^)

I tend to think that if there were 'frequently asked questions' about
motorcycles they wouldn't be very relevant to a 4-wheeled one-seat
pirate ship, they wouldn't be much help.

Why not just as -your- questions here? I'm sure that's allowed. I
don't thnk there's a Usenet group for motorcycle-engine-driven pirate
ships.

 

I've thought about putting one together for quite a while now.

 

Okay, I had a couple of moments after work today. It's done.

He probably uses his fingers, not his tongue.

 

--Well for starters I want to mess with the exhaust system; i.e.
increase the diameter of the exhaust "manifold" which seems very restrictive
to me. Curious to know effects positive or negative others have had from
doing similar things to similar small engines.

 

--Ayup, but it's got a motorcycle engine in it! ;-)

 

--I beg to differ: it's *not* a "junk contraption"; I started with
tquite a bit of research to find it. The goal was to start with the cheapest
*new* ready to run drivetrain I could find. I wanted a tubular "body" so
that I'd have something to attach stuff to that had more strength than a
typical auto body panel. It's worked out very well, but the engine *is* a
POS

 

I use my prehensile tail.

 

Oh, yeah, that's it.
