Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Great idea guys, appreciate it!

Hey Rob, since I'm on such a roll with picture posting, here's something of interest. I put a Magnuson 112 (Eaton) blower on my SSR. I thought I was going to use a centrifical super charger until I found this "Maggie". I thought with any roots blower I was going to have to cut a hole in th...

Ahhhh, gotta say I love this site. I've been trying to do that kind of stuff for years unsuccessfully. Now, for some meat with those pics... The pics in the post above is Gary's Weiand 144 on a smallblock Chevy. He's also using about 175 hp nitrous shot. Highly modified smallblock with forged piston...

Going to try getting some blower pics here...

Ok, got some of the pics I want to my desktop. Can anyone tell me how to attach them to a post so they're not too big? I've got about 6 pics. I was going to start a new "Blower" thread when I can figure it out. Thanks,

Elliot

Rob, I'll PM the number for Gary. He'll be happy to talk to you. Be sure to ask him what happens when you keep spraying pistons that aren't a good forged variety, ha ha. We've seen some pretty funny stuff. They make good ashtrays though so all won't be lost. Also talk to Gary about tires. Yeah, they...

Rob, Keep in mind that the Weiand 144 was put on one of the two original Kannon V8 choppers. Although similar to the current V8Chopper, it is a lot different than the BH frame. Nonetheless, two buds in SW Florida made frame modifications to the Boss, one a bigblock the other a smallblock. The smallb...

Excellent hearing from you guys! Sounds like there's a lot going on and I wish you great success with the bikes. I have a million and one questions, many regarding the tranny. I'll make it a point to find you guys in Daytona and do the question and answer thing then. Glad to hear you'll be there and...

Joe, be careful with Jeff. Once he gets everything "right", he may do multiple (few dozen) "check rides" which will terminate in Daytona or points unknown. On a serious note, I was amazed at what Jeff did with the chopper I sold John W. who then sold it to the guy who brought it ...

Geez, what a piece of work the Geezermobile was. You ever follow up with whoever bought it? Anyone do any track time? As I recall, you had the boost way lower than what was capable didn't you? I put a Magnuson 112 (Eaton) blower on my SSR. We detuned it down 'cause I had some concerns over what I co...

Pete, thanks for the info. I'll pass it on to Gary, Kevin, Chic, and a bunch of others coming up from down there. I know they like to stay near the Speedway so if there's weather they can just hop over and hang with a lot of the folks who are exhibiting there. None are real big on Main Street 'cept ...

Looks like a big year for Daytona. Gary and the SW FL guys have been looking for rooms unsuccessfully. The places they usually stay are booked. If anyone can provide the name and/or number of any area motels preferably near the speedway but doesn't have to be, it would be appreciated. They will be t...

Steve, I've had the auto vs manual discussions many times with buds while drinking a brew on a rainy day. I used to use the arguement that in the 23 years I drove Corvettes, I only had one automatic and I traded it 6 months later. Just didn't seem right. There were those during those discussions tha...

Besides Joe, you couldn't tell me I'm an asshole and I couldn't call you a fartknocker over there. One of my favorite expressions these days is; "it is what it is." There's some really good things going on over there, there's some really good things going on over here (without any baggage)...

Steve, What a guy! You'd take my new chopper to the Keys and "test" it for me?! Wow, let me think about it. Will get back to you in a year or two. Appreciate you jumping in with the history of the bike and company. I know Tom put a lot of time and sweat into that effort and sorry it didn't...

Ok Rob, that confirms things for me...I'm a sick sonofabitch. I watched that video intently and when it got to the part of showing him all layed out spread eagle, I laughed my balls off. He was doing some weird stuff right beforehand like standing up and kept repositioning like he was nervous...or S...

Not to get off the subject but where has Joe R. been? I wanted to see him give KISS a bunch of shit about spelling, hee hee. Joe, no need to go underground here. Come on out! You haven't given me a hard time since the Yahoo days and I'm needing it! I would also like to hear any news about the stroke...

Rob, I can't find the video link for the crash on that website. I did read an article where he tells about what happened and the resulting damage. If you'd point me to the link I'd appreciate it. I've watched the two drag track videos on the site a dozen or more times. The way that mutha hooks up wh...

Yep, great site! Membership is sure to increase as the board has a very friendly, relaxed feel. People get used to a certain format and any others then look and feel strange. I found this one to "feel strange" for about 10 minutes before realizing how easy and comfy it is. My crystal ball ...

Nice going...really great idea and great asset!

Elliot

I appreciate the information on the company and bikes. There's a lot of interesting stuff there. Some of it I was aware of from when Tom was part of the company and we chatted. Much I wasn't aware of. Sure would be interested hearing from someone who either rode one or took a good up close and perso...

Has anyone kept up with this company? I went to their website and saw under the list of "events" that Daytona, Myrtle, et al weren't mentioned. Wonder if this is still a going thing. It showed three models although it looked like there was not much more than paint differentiating them. Has...

Folks, I thought I'd start a new thread as it's totally off the topic of the old one where I've been discussing this. Rob, Kiss, and I have flipped some posts back and forth about the electric bike that did 7 seconds at Pamona. It's an incredible piece of work and incredible video. Go to http://www....

Oops, found the video link. U.F.R. !!!

This is unreal! I didn't know this was referencing a bike earlier. I had seen an article about a 4 wheeler and those too were incredible performance numbers. The 1/4 mile time and speed these guys did is just amazing! I keep wondering what it would be like without the noise. I compare it to the 10 s...
