As photobucket has messed me up and I am not paying the $399 ransom.
My WooooHoooo thread about the scooter is dead. It was all about the pictures and "you did what?"
So if anyone is still interested I could upload so.e of the pics to this new thread.

Load them up. I for one was enjoying your progress and ingenuity.
Truly a marvel of what can can be accomplished with vision and talent.
PB fucked everyone world wide demanding a ransom for photo hosting.
FWIW, I have never liked PB. I always got a pop under with a separate link to the photos when I wanted to see a close up of an image. Very annoying _________________ I have learned over the years.

Rolling into a motorcycle meet (Sturgis south).
Long tiring ride in the southern heat.
My middle daughter when she was a teenager.
10 plus years ago.
I put a small wind deflector on it right after this.
80-85mph wind all day long is tiring, just look at that expression.....lol

I never seemed to get much response in my WoooHooo thread.
Have made a friend in Mark, even friends on FB. I guess we are both a bit weird and relate....
So.
If I could edit I might try to restore some of the pics.
It don't work well without the pics.
Maybe link the two together?
Or just go back to the old one and keep posting updates?
I dunno which to do. So I had started over.
Maybe it should all be in the "other" topic instead of "performance"? |

So on the T-1 version looks like no cooling tin just electric fan. But maybe that monster gas tank is acting to direct the cool air downward, can't really see. Have seen two wheel bikes with T- 1 and T-4 engines. None use sealing tin. Must be hot at a Red light. But on the other hand it is pushing almost no weight so it should run cooler.
Does it run cool!!!!. _________________ email: [email protected]

You very much can not do this in the city.
I am in a small southern town with only a few stop lights and I don't go there.
It takes mph to cool.
I have no real data. I can physically touch the heads.
The mofoco heads run much cooler to the touch than cb heads did.
I can lay my hand flat on the top of head while going down the highway and not get burned. If you wiggle a finger by the plug boot when you touch the hex drive of the plug it will burn your finger tip.
The dip stick is only warm, it and the oil drop on it can easily be handled.
How hot is it?
I dunno.....seems ok.
No instruments.
Several things though.
Takes mph.
I have some tall gearing. 3.44 r/p and .82 fourth.
Big cam, low dynamic cr. |

sorry for got to add ...continue please us off the wall people like this kind of stuff too.
if I were to build something like this I would make it look like a prostock motorcycle for the most part and have a funnell faring to funnel the air in nicely and aero looken. and add duking to the lower portion that can be reangled for winter driving so my nuts dont freezze and need pb blaster to get me off of the thing , but I seem to be getten so slow and too many other things going on it wood take me 2 more lifetimes to compleate it...I better start tomarwo |

Mark, if you donīt know how to, let one of your friends help you make an automatic share with your local computer every time you are at home or at the office. It is easily done and can save yourself for a lot of problems.
I use Google to link my phone to my computers on important stuff.
