I lived in the 4th ward D-town for 5 years, we used to have a saying - It's not the heat, it's the Stupidity!

The F models were short swingarm and not blue/white.
I had an F model (1st 750 slabbie) and 711ed it.
Flexi-flier I called it lol.

My '85 was red and black, I loved that bike. Memories have faded but I do recall how light it was.

Heck of a thing to happen, blowing that fuse....

My buddy has a '15 Mustang and is looking at getting a '20 GT this fall. He had an '05 that he put something like 350,000 kms on before he traded it for the '16. I can identify there isn't much room under the hood.

It's too hot to even ride the bike for me. I saw a guy go by with no shirt, shorts and sneakers and a little bowl helmet on an HD. I flinched just thinking of the June Bug that hit my visor the other day-it sounded like a gun shot, I could just imagine taking one of those off the face...

I was born and raised in the Caribbean with no A/C and work out doors at and industrial facility that keep the equipment at 190’F using steam lines, so I’m used to the heat. I think I just had had enough of it yesterday and should’ve left that job for another time. Wrenching is my therapy, but I was reaching my breaking point after a 13hr shift. Today I’m staying in my office, drinking lots of water and hope nothing breaks outside.

Take good care of yourself Miguel, we only get one shot at it.

Thanks Kiwi! Today was a lot better and I had a chance to recover, even though I was working. Will be packing tonight and taking 2 weeks off. I’ll be heading north with my busa in tow tomorrow. She has a date with frank at powerhouse and I get to enjoy some quality time with friends and family up there. Love being on the road, so I’ll enjoy this 2,500 plus mile trip.

I’m out as we speak, waiting for my mate to turn up, gonna look at a k8 that’s for sale.....

 

[c10]

I rode today to deliver my wife's shock to EBR Suspension in League City TX. They have a very nice dyno. RJ is scheduled for a dyno run when I pick the shock up next Saturday.
It was 87 when I left home @ 8:45 am and about 94 when coming home @ 10 am

 

[Kiwi Rider]

I checked out the K8 Busa that's for sale, I know the guy, he bought the bike new, 22,000km but very dirty and needs registration renewed ($500) , new tyres and new battery,
It's been sitting for 18 months unused and needs a lot of love.
Mint condition but dirty.
Full USA Yoshi 4 into 1 system.
Dyno tuned with PC3 179rwhp
May be able to get it for a good price . . . .

So, does that mean you bought it?

Well . . . . technically it's not in my possession YET.
But I've always visualized the things that I really desire . .
and they usually materialize sooner or later!
It's all down to the right price, where he's happy and I'm happy,
and of course the bank releasing the funds, but that won't be a problem.

Keep us informed mate, also try to post up heaps of pics . . oh and video of POWERHOUSE and Frank, really want to see the shop and the man himself (provided he's ok with that)
You should drop into Steven's shop too, he's just around the corner from Frank's!
