A bad marrage is like dirty carbs... It just makes everything else suck.

P.S.  Good thing that event wasnt in Poland or else you'd see Humber in the back going "Dont Throw that! I could get 100 EURO for those Primary Gears!!"   ;D

P.P.S.  Thanks for the Gears Humber!  Love em!  ;D

The funny thing is that the spare engine that I have for my V was in the process of being installed into a 42" ride on lawn mower.? Yes! a "Tim The Toolman Lawn Mower"!

The guy enters lawn tractors into tractor pull competitions, I guess they have a "class" for lawn tractors.? Just before installing the V engine into his lawn tractor, he found another engine with greater torque.? He fired up the mower for me and pulled it out onto the asphalt street and pulled a wheelie with his freakin' ride on lawn mower!

Outstanding!

They haven't landed yet.  Next shuttle mission may try to retrieve them.

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

They probably thought the bottom end was shot instead of a loose starter clutch!

If you check their other photos you'll see the Gods have punished them for the way they treated that poor little V engine  :D

That is an interesting use of the V engine. I?ve another. The same year my Vision was purchased, early fall, that winter I visited an old friend at his business. We used to ride some in the early 80s him on BSAs me on my Kawasaki. His bride to be asked him ?What do you like to do besides work??  he is a workaholic. His response was he used to ride his BSA. She purchased a nice mid sixties 650 for him. We were looking it over and me telling him about my Vision. Another fellow was there and he started asking me about my Vision. Turns out he has and 83. I ask how do you like riding it? He responds with ?I don?t ride it I use it to run my air compressor? Turns out he has this huge air compressor and needs something to power it. He buys this 83, bolts it down somehow, removes the rear wheel and fits a mutli belt pulley. ?I runs her in third gear at 7500rpm?.just turn that little knob under the tank on the right up? he added later that he had to hook a car radiator to it to keep the engine cool. My buddy says he thinks the guy runs a jackhammer right off the compressor. He also said ?tough little motor, I been runin it years?
