What fender and paint? I didn't see any fender or paint

Damn John, You need to carb down that "Send" finger ..... :shock: Seems that a consistent problem I've had over time was too much carb for the application. Amazing how some of those flat spots, lumpy spots, flooding, and other fuel related problems would disappear going from an 800+ cfm ca...

Tom, I've had a few conversations with Mike (Kelly) about FI because one (or a few) of the Vanquish bikes had it. Seemed Mike got pretty disgusted with all but one setup that was appropriate for a F1 car and hugely expensive. I happened to ride that bike and it was incredible, but as I recall, the F...

One of my friends had never been on a V8. His eyes got real big in a hurry. He has been on a hard tail before and a soft tail chopper of the V2 type. He reports that the V8 Chopper rides better than even the soft tail Vtwin choppers he's been on. Jerry rode his first V8 Today. http://app.onlinephot...

I'm glad Michael got his new ride to Stan and had the V8Chopper guys go over it. I was in the trailer when they were removing that #$%* piss poor excuse for a windshield and making it right again. Not sure what happened when it was sitting at Marv's but it needed to move south and be ridden 8-) . Re...

Cool pictures CR. Thanks!

Welcome to the club. When the V8 Chopper bug bites, it really sinks its teeth in, eh?? Look forward to seeing it when you get it!!

Chris

Bryan, Great seeing you and Jenn again. I just watched the video of Jenn and Cheryl test riding the Bosses. That's very cool stuff. This was my 2nd Daytona amongst the 25+ years I've been going where I went as a snowbird taking a break from winter weather like you. Have to admit it makes it all the ...

Gents, for you guys that didn't make it to Daytona, I'll testify that it's one of the best looking bikes I've seen. I actually pulled up next to it and parked first day feeling pretty smug about how great mine looked. I saw that one and moved mine because it made my paint look pretty insignificant ...

I personally think a 17 would look better than the 18 although I've never seen one. Never have been a huge fan of little to no sidewall on a bike tire. Also wonder how much cushioning comes from a larger sidewall? The 18" tires have so little sidewall it appears there would be little if any sho...

Rick, I'm the first to admit that each of the V8 bikes, V8Chopper, Boss Hoss, and Vanquish, all have their niche and all excel with their respective strong points. I've never been too brand loyal 'cept for Yamaha outboards. Both Fords and Chevy's in my drive/garage. As stated, I'm as happy as a pig ...

Rick, Congratulations and best of luck. This is a very good thing for both V8Chopper owners and the factory. Your comments about the V8Choppers are something Gary and I have known for 5 years now. Having bought the first two choppers Stan did, we've thoroughly enjoyed the bikes and our friendship wi...

Rick, Are you serious :?: Is it the one I'm thinking of :?: The one where I asked Stan if we could just swap out metal parts :?: Wow, this really catches me off guard (in a great way) and may help explain why Stan was in Atlanta today :?: Regardless...congratulations :!: :!: :!: Elliot :shock:

Mike, Cool observations and comments. Yep, Stan and David are first rate. The bikes are awesome. Stan ended up having a pretty successful time in Daytona in spite of economic times. There were more tire kickers and picture takers than I've ever seen. The product speaks for itself and then when a buy...

Ricky, Thanks for putting up those pictures. Memories of a great time! I wish I hadn't been so damn lazy to not want to screw with my camera. I took some with my phone camera but they sucked as far as quality. Thanks again for memorializing Daytona '09. Was great getting together with you there. Be...

Daytona's over and I'm left with many great memories. It's always been about friendships to me more than the bikes or riding and this one was outstanding in that regard. Can't possibly cover all the people I saw and enjoyed spending time with or I'd invariably leave someone out and make them and me ...

Tom, I'm at work in Lakeland right now slowly worming my way toward Daytona. After a lunch meeting this afternoon...I'M OUTTA HERE! Got a call from Steve (Barr) last night. He's chompin' at the bit too and leaving Raleigh a day early. I'll help him offload around 10p tonight instead of tomorrow. Loo...

That chopper trike looks extemely badass. Is there somewhere I missed on the board that details motor specs?

Els

Ie..shuttle launch is rescheled for March 12 time unknown at this moment..will keep you posted! FINALLY...the shuttle ain't ready to launch but I sure am. T minus 1 day to Daytona for me 8-) Got to test nitrous on the 520 DART last night before loading the trailer up. Quite a spooky experience :sho...

Wish I were going..............enjoy........... Tell El to get his drinking boots on,,,,,,,,,,Maimi will be fun !!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't race anything fast. like a Harley or T-Rex.........ha.......your old....... :lol: Have fun, and don't forget to give us updates via the puter........... Geez Hey Geez,...

I'm not sure who if any is interested in the shuttle launch but I sure am. If there's any in Daytona who are watching the status and would be motoring south to see it, please let me know so I can hook up with you. I am trying to get there around 4:00p Friday. Staying at Tropic Shores. Number below....

Ricky, Check my weather meter below. I'm one of those guys ready to thaw :oops: Just in case you're ready to rub it in, remember paybacks when it's 99 degrees in Tallahassee this summer! :twisted: When do you get there and where you staying? I'm pulling in Friday afternoon, 2/27. Looking forward to...
