Congrats from the right side of the country too ... any chance of getting one of those float level gages? Time to clean the carbs again and would like to set the floats a celeb gage.

Thanks,
Paul

Well done and thanks for the excellent dogbones which I recently got
in the mail. Unfortunately haven't had time to fit them yet...

I just got a call from them this morning and they want to do another article in a month or so because I do bike related stuff also.

congrats jim, maybe your shop is one of the few that actually comes through on a project. if it is, you're already one step ahead of any shop i have ever tried working with.

now we just need to get you to focus on motorcycle stuff and ditch that other crap. you know, the crap that actually pays the bills.

Tough to make a living on 15 year old sportbikes though...
Tough to compete with the big guys on the new stuff...

cool! but did'nt you buy a new r1?

Yea, I did Wili. I was just sayin that it's not easy to make a living on older bikes. Limited audiance. But we have a couple things in the works. They just need to be squeezed in between jobs that actually pay the bills...

I take my hat off to you Jim, for anyone to excel in Engineering it is a tough nut to crack, it is only earnt through:-

High Standards
Attention to detail
Work ethics

And last but not least - a desire to be the best at what you do!

Well done mate,

and so what!, there are some old work-horses out there that can embarrass a new steed.
