Anton, how fast does your 1200 go on the highway? I have a 1600, and I usually cruise about 65 miles per hour. Do you use miles or kilometers in Russia? _________________ Let's do the Time Warp again!

I think that bottle over the coil looks silly, sorry...
It also lets the fuzz know that your a drinker...
Just add a Zig Zag Man license plate frame, and you'll be all set |
Ha! You're critiquing his beer bottle and you still use the term "the fuzz?" |

Hi Tim!
We use km/h.
Maximum speed 115 km/h (GPS), but usually I drive 85km/h not to make big RPM.

Someone always has to be Wise...

Wow, that's a gorgeous, very original looking engine there! If it was a USA delivered dual port engine it would also have a dash pot and throttle positioner/altitude corrector on it as well.
Nice job! _________________ Contact me at [email protected]
