now that the devorce is done, i wound-up with home and store. oh,and a monthly pay out. now i find myself remembering my x1 fondly. wont get one anytime soon either! then a 78 SR500 falls into my hands. going cafe with it since it has a really good motor and straight frame. gonna bob the rear fender 6 inches, form a new saddle,so much can be done ... gonna have fun building it. on topic however. i never had a blast that worked. had a couple x1s, but this'll be different. skinny tire and '78 engineering! | ||

Don't know much about it. Just seen it on the net. Pre 1930's, Does this mean this could be Grand-Paw Blast?     | ||

Very cool. | ||

It still amazes me that anyone ever though a total loss oiling system for the valves was a good idea. The good old days weren't so good.  | ||

Very nice! Not sure I'd trust my own common sense to stop me with a coaster brake at 35mph, but I'll give it a shot!! | ||
| Patches |
Don't think I could trust the coaster brake either. Road Rash isn't a fun part of riding. Do like the look. | ||

All seeing Eye of RA. There is a big following for gy6/qmb139 scooter/moped racing especially South America also a company in Florida supports a gy6 drag bike that is pretty wild. I cannot afford to own a bike anymore. What got me interested in them was there below DOT don't have to pay Insurance, Tax and License. The problem is 50cc or below, 2 HP limit won't climb the hills around here. I would still like to build a vintage board track racer replica on the cheap. | ||

SFMC has the Secret Society Scooter club - their grail is the ton. CF frames, wheels, ti parts and outrageous hot rodding - I wouldn't put it past them to achieve that some day. EZ | ||

Current record is just over 77mph. Streamliner type record is almost double, but it's not streatable in any way shape or form, while the other record holder is - lol EZ (Message edited by ezblast on March 16, 2015) | ||

72 mph on 10 inch tires.  http://californiascooterco.com/blog/?p=3033 I did find this 50cc streamliner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df8XVdKbiLA | ||

 That post brought joy to my heart | ||

Yeah - there are some wildly fast 49/50cc scoots out there - SF area are fans of them as well. There was a kid who worked at a cafe - his scoot had a ti frame and cf wheels and it screamed like a banshee when it ran - lol - one of the secret society of SF! EZ | ||

Wish they would bring back the blast. Splendor Café maybe? About $800.00 US in India, don't know how much here in USA.  | ||

Seen it done with an S3 as well - that thing is so heavy - I see no hope of it beating a Blast. EZ | ||

Its a homebuilt 500cc single heavily modified is the reason I posted it. Aaron may know a little more about the bike maybe. Looks he was running a different class anyway.

Pulling a cylinder off a twin Harley and making it run- easy! Now, adding a cylinder to the Blast, not so easy!!\  | ||

Early 70's Triumph Parallel Twin Engine in a Blast chassis maybe? At least you could still call it a Thumper. | ||

Hi Edward, Thanks very much for your interest in the PGM V8. The bikes are made to order with a current price of USD$180K. There is a delivery time of approx 12 months but we are working to reduce this time. As for dropping 50lbs, consider for a moment just what you are getting for this weight and then compare this to any of the big dual purpose trailies around at the moment.... Kind regards Paul G Maloney info@pgmv8.com.au cid:image001.jpg@01D0EA21.55A1C5B0 | ||

Regardless of shedding 50 lbs. still a lot of motor for a little bike. Would like to see how the PGM preforms. | ||
