Thanx I've been getting the itch to do some paint work again.....as my truck is in dire need of some tidying up. Thinkin' about doing some advertising for this site on the side of it :wink:

Well, it's only about 47" long :shock: ......powered by a hopped-up 30cc WeedEater motor 8-) It belongs to a guy who I used to work with....he built it himself....then hired my painting services to finish it off with. Here's my contribution to this project.......for which I recieved an $80 AirBrush upon completion 8) ....... So now I have TWO Airbrushes & I got the pleasure of listening this beaut rev to the moon out on the river 8)

Now why the Hell would he waste his time with WSB? :roll: ......that'd be a serious step Backwards......it'll probably be WRC or F1 for him :wink:

Max Biaggi and Loris Capirossi have blamed each other for their first lap collision at Estoril on Sunday, which saw Biaggi crash out and Capirossi run off track. After making perhaps the best out of all of his 100 premier-class Grand Prix starts, Capirossi took the holeshot from eleventh on the grid only to be passed a few corners later by Valentino Rossi. As Capirossi was forced wide, Biaggi also tried to sneak through the gap forged by Rossi but had nowhere to go as Capirossi closed the door. Biaggi began his description of the incident in diplomatic fashion but later laid the blame squarely at the feet of the Ducati rider. "Obviously I’m disillusioned with today’s events, even though I know it’s all part of racing,” he said. “It was an involuntary accident which came about from a misunderstanding with Capirossi. “He probably had a lot to do on the first lap, he was ahead of everyone from the first bend on the track. He was ahead and detached from the rest and he went very wide, going well outside the normal line on that turn. “I was right behind and with Loris going wide, as well as slowly, I held my line as he closed the throttle suddenly. Trying not to crash into him I jammed on the brakes so hard that my rear tyre left the ground. We made contact then and I crashed.” Capirossi’s opinion, however, was that eagerness had got the better of Biaggi, who tried to make the pass at the wrong time. "I started great, then took some big risks to get into turn one first," he explained. "It was a pity that Max tried to pass me so soon - he could have waited for a better place to attack. Unlike Biaggi, Capirossi was able to recover from the incident, returning to the track in 20th place but mounting a stunning charge through the field to clinch seventh at the end of the race. “Once I had regained the track I started my comeback, passing a lot of riders, but the leaders were too far ahead, so I just made sure I maintained my position. My pace was close to the leaders' which proves we are improving the bike, though we still have work to do." Biaggi’s first dnf of the season means he now trails Rossi by 51 points in the championship and severely damages his chances of winning the title with just five rounds remaining. “It’s a shame, I was in the right shape to do a good race,” lamented Biaggi. “I don’t want to think about the championship at the moment, but it’s obvious the situation is very difficult now. There are still five races left however and we will wait to see what happens."

Yeah.....Definitely glad to see Rossi take it to 'em.......yet again 8) I was also impressed with Capirossi's holeshot @ the 1st corner :tu

:hi aboard Need4speed If your carbs are clean & balanced, then the valve adjust culprit you suggest would be obvious, as you'd be hearing quite a bit of noise from the cylinder head whilst riding it :wink: TBH....from those symptoms you described.....you might want to have a look @ your ignition timing next :wink: Hope this helps.....& keep us posted

Typical 600 class competitiveness......where the numbers are so close, that the real difference is made by the Rider :wink:

I pay $130 a year for my XJ750 :? .....but that's with a ticket I got a bit over a year ago......So I still think I'm getting a pretty fair deal :wink:

Sweet DT 8) ...like the exhaust :wink:

The gear shift lever on my truck used to have an Oury throttle grip from my personal parts bin 8) .....but I've since changed it to a grip from an old Barracrafter ski pole......complete with finger notches & even has Made in USA stamped on it :wink:

...& their interchangability 8) Just got on the road yesterday morning @ 4AM, headed for work as usual.....when I noticed that my headlight was off! :shock: ......pulled over straight away & tore it apart, only to find that the fuses & bulb were still good :? (had just replaced the bulb only a month ago)....so I limped it back home & actually Drove my truck to work......which bugs the sh*t outta me So when I got home, I went through what spares I have left (from my old XJ550) just to see if I could pinpoint the prob. I've got an old fishing tackle box stuffed full of various electrical parts that I've been collecting over the years.....which I was glad I still had, coz I found a good handful of various relays, & through a process of illimination, I found one that worked! 8) I love it when that happens......especially when you consider that the relay woulda cost me @ least $70 :shock: for a used one (IF I could find it)......So now it's fixed & didn't cost me anything more than the extra fuel whilst driving my truck to work 8) Bottom Line: It pays to save all those little spares! :wink:

:hi Aboard JP......& yes, do tell us what you ride :wink:
