Insomnia, Dyslexia... alcohol overenthusiasm... take your pick. I tried manualslib and a couple other places but these engines aren't every sought after apparently. Probably because they weren't exactly in the Mod The Ever Living Crap Out Of This BLEEP market so no one really cared. Kinda like...

So in the increasingly crappy pile of crapshoot crap that's been slowly building it's crappy way to the crappy ceiling of my crappy shed I pulled out a not-so-crappy 'Cumsee from the engine sludge that's made it's way to the crappy unfinished floor. (Hot Rod Tech Tip: Old engine sludge works...

"YOU'RE ABOUT AS USEFULL AS POOPY FLAVORED LOLLY POP!" Is the only thing that comes to mind when seeing this. It aint fast. It ain't stable. And it looks like it can barely hold it's own weight. So was this just welding practice or did someone think this was gonna catch on?

Whatever the case stay away from the new Goldwings and Yamaha Star Ventures. Crap reviews, no fun if you can barely have the driver and passenger on it before you exceed max payload, and I dont know about anyone else but I like my bars attached in a direct link to my wheel. Not a 23 individual...

Personally I love the 2018 F3 I rented for a weekend. Great performance, response, and very comfortable with the short reach bars. 0-60 in a 1acre course was about 4ish seconds. The Ryken has the $5k price chop going for it but it's also a smaller cc. From a 35-0mph stop test it was 18ft until...

So she went from crap to mediocre to WASTED. I got her all goin nice and smooth and in less than 6mi she went from light lifter tick to death knock to DEAD. Somehow I managed to break the 8/7 lobe off the crank and basically blow apart the rest of the bottom end with the shrapnel. So this is a...

You'd be shocked at what the market is during tourist season up in Maine can be. Canadians especially would go into the campground and offer BIIG moolah for ratty looking Shasta s and Scampers and some of the old vintage teardrops. As well as the ecobox Airstreams. Then you have the richfolk...

I think this applies to 99.99999999999999999999999999999999998% of us....

In a factory built cart about 38-40mph on a Manco Magnum. Had a GX390 w/ 22" mud claws. Sketchiest thing ever if it went over 5mph. Home built was 72mph but that had a Honda 450r on it. The $2.99 masterpro bearings weren't happy about 1/2mi down the road but it beat the S10 I raced. That was...

Paint was rough and engine ain't a 350 but thats why I like it. It's lived and needs love. So gut the interior, $20 rattle can spray job, set of Kickers 6x9s, and fuzzy lucky dice and run this BLEEP! But 350 Rocket will come into play one of these days. Or the LS1 from the Roadmaster I junked...

But it was old a cheap.. and so are the parts. I can fix this for a fraction of what I bought it's predacessor for. Older the better in my world (When it comes to vehicles) A tad too new for shoestring a bubblegum but still within the ziptie and paperclip repair territory.

I figured a few... if not all of us... have some sort of story or thing goin on that just might make them Roadkill boys proud of our luck (or lack thereof) so let us join hands and share our tales of woe. This could be anything car, kart, bike, truck, or even boat related. Share your wildest...

Roadkill would be proud. Picked this '82 Delta 88 up for $500. It made it 1mi, had to add 2qts of trans fluid. Made it another mile, needed gas after just putting $10 in. Made it about 12mi, then water pump locked up and broke the alterator belt. Made it about another 10mi where the front right...

Case closed. Oil passages got blocked from running nasty 2yo convetional oil for 1300mi and blew out the pressure switch AND took out a chunk from the block. But I got $600 for it with a blown engine and like ZERO things NOT wrong with it sooooo yeah. Bye bye dodge, helloooooo Delta 88.

I kid you not Ive wasted $40 at the coin op today. And each tine I get fown the road it gets just as dirty. 323k and owned by a dead fat guy who never heard of the world "clean" or "wash cloth" but she dis her job. Now its time to bust out the moped and try not to die!

All vacuum lines are clear. So are the PVC valves. But I want to know why there was oil collected and slung around in the blower fan and through the vents. The cabin air filter was drenched with the fresh oil. Thing is its not coming out of the hood so where would it be coming from? Plus the air...

So.... I moved... again. BLEEPIN FINALLY! This time a lil more central to all the fun stuff. Especially since the Corvette museum is about 20mins from me (I'll let you guys guess). Also in Roadkill fasion I bought a non running truck on blind luck for $300 and moved it 1300mi to my current...

So picked this up today for $25. Couldn't pass it up for that super jew-friendly price. I never liked Toro but this was a steal. All i know is that it's 2 stroke, loud, and runs like a dream and its a Suzuki which makes it better than the comp already. Info is very scarce from what I've seen so...

Picked this up off the side of the road. '84 Honda 700 Shadow. Actually runs pretty **** well. The guy didn't know what make it was but he had all the missing parts. He got it from an estate sale and thought it looked cool. 1 McDicks coffee later and I own it. Lil wire brushing and some fluid...

As for gear ratio the optimum one would be at LEAST 6:1. That way you get a good balance of both low strain on your drivetrain and engine. But it all depends on the OD of the rear tires. My brother weighs in at 270 and he runs a Manco Magnum w/ a Predator 301 w/ a 40 series. The rear tires on...
