Any owners in UK?
Are there any V8 owners in UK who'd like to meet up?

Re: Any owners in UK?
I'm sorry we haven't seen my best Brit bud on the site lately...Jimbo. We talked the other day and he's up to his eyeballs in work and this is a busy time of year for him. He's had to foresake time at the computer and websites. It's also cold and wet there as far as riding. I'm sure he'll be popping up here soon as he can see the light of day work wise. He told me he will 100% be at the East Meets West in Oklahoma in May.
I think Jimbo is selling his chopper. He's actually been using it as center piece at shows he does and loves the bike but hasn't had enough time/opportunity to ride and has his sites set on a totally custom V8Chopper 2 and 3 wheeler. Hard to imagine selling that beautiful custom chopper he now has as it looks and rides incredible. I was very lucky to have logged some seat time in it before it went overseas.

Re: Any owners in UK?
Hi Steve Taylor & Wildman, names steve and i got me one of those fat bastard motorcycles last autumn
i rode her for about a 1,000 miles before putting it in the shed , winter riding not being its natural habitat, though i nearly did fit heated grips
did'nt want to get off
1,000 miles in north devon on a kannon ford 351 is no little thing
i'll find some pics of our roads some time, by the way the 'puter has disallowed my pic's so far? is that a pixel problem?
anyways, i'm going to improve its handling and braking, possibly revalve and re spring forks, with a fork brace or an entirely new front end,would like to know what other people have tried.
my motives for joining this site where entirely selfish
i need info on my wee beasty, fuelling and electrics would be a start, has anyone got a manual for one o these?
apparently the gearbox is 'tuneable' ie the power delivery can be altered? is this true? and if so? how?
so thats enough for now. also Hi too, to all you other V8' ters
Looking forward to a Great year of miles for smiles and blowin' minds ![Cool 8-)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Our admin big brother tells me that our newest 'John Wood' is also from the mutha cuntry. Damn, in our perennial off field battle thats at least 4 of you Poms against 1 (active) Aussie. One or two more and we'll be nearly even...spose then I'll call in the Kiwi's. ![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)
