Nice Lloyd! I got out yesterday too, only for a couple hours though as the roads were drenched when I got up, had to wait for them to dry out.
I'll trade with you, it's rained pretty much every day here for six weeks now. I've barely touched the bike this year, it sucks ass. I'm ready to move back west at this point.

Nice bike Lloyd and its nice in desert area like ID & UT. But I feel your dry heat for sure being in a neighboring state... HPI, we will expect the rain in 5-7 business day please lol.
If I could send it I would buddy. Needless to say, humidity has been off the charts here too. I mean I know I live in a rain forest, but there's times I'd like less of the rain forest attributes.
Something that always puts a smile on my face, new shoes for the bike! Leaving work early tomorrow and headed riding.

Picked up this 1982 Yamaha Maxim 750 today for a sweet deal today. Needs work, but seems to be a good bike. I'm thinking bobber.

If it was sendable.....Randy would you split the overnight priority charges with me? I have seen enough, if we get the same amount of precipitation this winter, we will all be eskimo's
You figure out a way to ship it out for the rest of the summer, and I'll cover all the shipping Seriously man, I'm really miserable, it's rained almost every day for over two months now. I'm seriously considering moving to AZ next year to have a drier climate, and generally (except this year) warm year round also. If we get this much snow over the winter, I'll literally go nucking futs.

Well get ready for a ton of pics lol
Start with the two cars I miss more then anything in the world.
Both were na-t and pushed about 650. When sold they were reverted back to na.
Here are pics of my current build in my auto x car ( 1990 eagle talon tsi fwd )
Notice the discolouration on the one rod, this is caused by oil starvation which leads to spinning a rod bearing. This was the reason for my rebuild, I went from eagle H beam rods rated at 800hp and upgraded to Manley turbo tuff I beams rated at 1000hp . My talon may never see anywhere near those numbers but it gives me peace of mind knowing I can throw more boost at it now with out breaking.
Ok here are some pics of my buddies 450hp RB20DET I built for his skyline.
Here is a shot of my talon and my new auto X car a awaiting a new motor.
The pic of the Subaru is the day I picked it up before it was sitting on coilovers and 17" rims so it looks very grama in that pic haha.
Only last pic is of the motor coming out of my wrx.

How about all you guys arguing over who has the biggest e peen just give it a rest? This is the second thread in as many days with this BS, and it's getting old.
You don't like drifting, fine. But to think it takes no skill is just narrow minded and ignorant. Same goes for drag racing, off road racing, rock crawling, motocross, etc. Anyone who says any of those is easy and lame (or any other form of advanced driving or riding) has obviously never tried it. It's always easy to talk crap about what you don't know or understand.
There's enough arguing on the internet, and I don't come to RCNT for that, I come here to get away from it.
Now to get this back on track, I really want one these, would be so much fun since it's basically a street legal fifty with more power, good suspension, and brakes.

Must be this tall!
How tall are you...lol, when you say fifty does that mean 50cc?

I'm 6'3", and yes 50cc as in Honda CRF 50. I ride big bikes also, but I love my fiddy like a fat loves cake, it never, EVER fails to put a huge smile on my face. So much fun!!

Hmmm I think I want a Fiddy now!
That reminds me of when my girlfriends was riding her nephews 50cc Honda dirt bike last fall, she hit the smallest bump, her legs slipped off the pegs and hit the ground, she slid off the seat while still holding the handle bars, I heard a scream!, and was able to stand up in time to watch her doing a superman while disappearing into about 40' of willows, from the safety of my balcony.

Yeah man, the fiddies are a hoot for sure, and good workout to boot. This is us a couple summers ago

@slowngreen
Thanks for my talon I'm hoping to make 550hp as a street car to sneak up on those pesky vette owners that over run the roads. But my funds are holding me back at the moment so I'm more worried about just getting it running haha.
@HPIguy
I'm sorry for picking that last fight, but I do agree with what you say. Those who can't appreciate a sport are easier to just say nothing about it then stir up stuff. We are not even here for the cars so why fight like children over them when we are here to help and be helped by others regarding something we all like doing Rc'ing.
