You sound like me, We need more cardio

Just being in the shop is cardio for me. So much energy is consumed by the rusty stiff joints!

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Ai bot.

I don't realize I'm old till I video my self doing anything.
I groan, huff and grunt like I'm a 500lb slob.

 

[Denny]

Hey! I resemble that remark.

 

[panchothedog]

I don't think I would have the guts to video myself doing anything. Too hard and depressing to watch. Well, maybe sleeping.

 

[Master Hack]

Thats why you only see parts of Egor, never myself.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Looks swingy and army. Thumbs up.

Now the trick is to get the other one perfectly symmetrical.

Why? that would be the ONLY thing symmetrical about this thing. It wouldn't go straight. It only goes straight now cuz of dumb luck.

 

[Master Hack]

This looks like it might perform bedder than expected. I think I'll put some lipstick on this pig and make one for the other side.



Articulation!

Are you gonna be able to get a steering link in between all that? Or are you going to do a leading link

 

[Master Hack]

The R&P are in front, don't really want to open that can-o-worms. l'll make it work that way. The steering was one of the things that actually worked well.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

That's some handsome articulating right there.

Off on another tangent.....
A funny thing happened on the way to the hardware store. This thing followed me home.




Looks like I might have to build a full on Cross kart?

Yeah I think so....

 

[panchothedog]

Amazing! Did it leap up into the back of your truck while you were in the store shoping? Or was it just there right behind you when you got home and parked? Kind of funny, how things that are rolling around in the back of our mind seem to show up at the most opportune moment.

Well, l wouldn't call it the MOST opportune moment, but a great opportunity.
l've been casually lookin, when this poor thing appeared. It was obvious the poor thing was "experiencing houselessness" and the adoption fees were so ridiculously low, when it hopped in the pickup l just couldn't say no.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Is that a kow 900?

 

[Master Hack]

GTR1000

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Nice. Gotta carb syncro? Multi carbs are fun.

 

[Denny]

Well, you have been threatening to build one for a couple of years now. And with low adoption fees it kind of forces your hand.

Not yet…

Well, you have been threatening to build one for a couple of years now. And with low adoption fees it kind of forces your hand

been lookin for the right propulsion unit, l had and sold a CB750. I think this one is a keeper.
I actually started the chassis a couple of years ago, l will get it out of storage but l have to finish the upgrades to frankenbuggy and rebuild the sprocket/input shaft on the naughtagator before moving on to another project.
