73 z1

Daaayum, those 15* valve stems are rockin. I'm glad to see that this bike found a good home. I had one of those Orange RTV specials before. They even thought that RTV could replace a head gasket. I wish that I had some pictures of that one.

when i tore down the motor that came with my 1327 bike i brought back from florida the damn thing had expanding foam filling a hole in engine cases in front of mission cover! :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:
yes they are among us folks! :woohoo:

Oh these valves are for sale now!!:laugh:

Before this was taken, I already removed big chunks. I wish I have taken a picture before I CLEANED it up. Close to a whole tube was used, I reckon.



Whole bike has been rigged up so bad. Wires for the handle bar switches are all cut up. 3 ugly push switches are taped on the handle bar and frame. Rear brake torque link are cut/welded to shorten. Rear brake master cylinder is attached to the frame by a hose clamp. God knows how much more of odd things I will find by the time I will be done with it.

Bugs are bad now, not just in the yard. Mosquitoes bite my ass off in the shop.:evil:

I LOVE NORTH CAROLINA!!!!!!!!


so pretty and laid back and great folks ....the bugs tore my ass up though and i was so bad about attracting them that folks would put me over away by myself at picnics to draw the little blood suckers away from them ...:laugh:

they were so big that they would squirt blood when you smacked em...:woohoo:

great bikes...my 73 went through a fire...and it had gotten so hot that the coils and clutch nylon engage gear were melted like goobers onto the bike...imagine what else is shot....someday...soon i hope to get to it.....the stupidest thing i did was strip it all into boxes to svae room...goood thing all the parts are BBQ colored..:blink: .at least i can tell what bike they came from..

>they were so big that they would squirt blood when you smacked em...

That is absolutely right. There are many huge blood sucking flies too!

Well I am just getting ready to walk out the door to go to your back yard SF.

Big enough to stand flat-footed and rape a turkey! :lol:

WTF with the Valves... Holly crap! :blink:

South swamps of Georgia... some truly creepy critters/bugs in there dar woods... :S

Example... Chiggers, I mean truly until you've been there WTF is a chigger.....
Doesn't take long to figure how fast them microscopic nasty ass little things can mess you up.

And spiders, seriously speaking I've seen 20-30 foot spider webs across tank trails. :blink: OK, lock & load for that's one big freakin spider to make that thing... Holly crapola...

This thing is bad. Bite from this thing stays with you for weeks.

Yes indeed... Nasty little bastard.... :whistle:

oh ...do you mean that silver dollar size welt on the back neck that leaks water for two days till you scratch the top off in a fit of pleasure, then leaks blood for a day ,then the itchy scab for a month that is dying for a fresh scratch off every three days and scars you for two years...yeah those suckers are bad and do not quit..once they zone in on you it is them or you a death match....and it is often the human that wins most of these death matches...but the sheer numbers mean a few must get through,and those few cost dearly.....the big all black ones are slower and clumsy and loud...but if they catch you under a picnic table or lawn chair
or unaware they can be the worst fly bite in history...




or these tiny black ones that are trying to drink your eyes and cover your calfs...i hate these babies...



sorry to get this thing off track....
