Tavs Did you relocate the fuse box and/or the ECM?If so....did you have any problems? Anybody on here have pics of an early M2 with the seat base trimmed/cut down? Thinking if making my M2 "beater" a true minimalist bike. jim | ||
| Tavs |
Dueller: the fuse assembly is tucked away in the lower right hand of the subframe; the ecm is that box you see zip-tied to the seat frame near the bottom of the picture. I did not have to redo any wiring; everything kind of fell into place and has worked great over the last 2000 miles. | ||

Our local BRAG sponsor Destination Tigard hosted a ThunderCross event this weekend as part of their 100th anniversary celebration. ThunderCross is a BattelTrax type event setup in a parking lot with tight turns which require the rider to remain in 1st gear. It IS not a race, you run against your own time. Best times of the day make finals. Best time after 3 final runs wins division. But it IS not a race. All kinds of bikes showed up for the event. Even Ferris could have ran the course on his VFR, but he can't remember where the NorthWest is anymore. I have lots of them let me know if you want more. Enjoy,  Roc showed up on his Salt bike with the glimmer of 180mph in his eyes. Too bad about the rain on the salt flats.  Great looking X1 staging at the start line.  Here is christaylor looking through the corner on his S3. Notice the tire marks in the corner from this "skills" challenge.  There were riders of all sizes and displacement. This is Cody, mtrbkmike's son, twisting the grip on 50cc of 2-stroke screamin power.  Long time Bueller Joy Farmer on her S3T transitioning between corners. Joy continues to put major miles on her Buell.  They only ran the course a couple of times, but it was amazing. Yes, he did the entire course 2 up, one handed, smokin a stogie.  Here is greeneric making the last turn before the finish line where you had to stop in a defined box area.  This was the fastest rider of the day. His name is Brian and he was whipping his old Honda Hawk around the course so fast you'd think he run someone over. | ||

Honda Hawk? The horror... the horror... | ||

Even Ferris could have ran the course on his VFR, but he can't remember where the NorthWest is anymore. ouch, that hurts  dammit, that's it, next year i'm makin' a big SPLASH. happy now?  FB | ||

I'd show up for that one, call it the SuperSPLASH, required attendance of all who have ever lived in the Pacific NorthWet no matter where they be now. Give the date and it will be marked on the calender. | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Ferris, Have an extra room for ya when you head this way. Heck, I would even let ya park your VFR in the garage! Jim | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Mikej Sounds like a great idea! Hey ferris, I think Mikej is on to something here! Jim | ||
| Spudman |
Ferris and Mikej, There is also a guest room and couch/floor/yard available at the spud estates. Ferris at SPLASH brings back some cold memories. I nearly lost my life to hypothermia the last time he attended. Not sure when in July SPALSH 2003 will happen, bet the Washington State Police would like to know. pdxs3t - Did I miss you at T-Cross last weekend? I have lots of pictures to share from T-Cross but none of a beautiful BLACK S3T, bummer. | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Spudman, I didn't even know it was happening or else I would have been there! Ended up at Destinaton on Sunday after the fact! Bummer on my part but, did get a good days riding in on Sunday and then went and seen a kick but Rush concert at the Rose Garden! Jim | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Ferris, I do believe that you should be making a trip up here to do a test run this fall prior to "Super Splash" next year! You are only about 18 hours away and knowing the way you ride, it would be more like 10! Jim | ||
| Spudman |
... then went and seen a kick but Rush concert at the Rose Garden! Dude, me too!!! My son bought tickets about three months ago and invited me to go with him. It was an awesome show touring on an awesome new album. The pyrotechnics for "Vapor Trials" was incredible. I'm still smiling from the experience, or maybe it’s that stuff I smelled burning at the concert? | ||
| Pdxs3t |
Spudman, It was a great show, I was on the main floor 18th row! WAHOOOOOOOOOOO! I even had the chance to get front row 3 songs before the break! That was way cool! Jim | ||
| Ferris |
I'd show up for that one, call it the SuperSPLASH, required attendance of all who have ever lived in the Pacific NorthWet no matter where they be now. Give the date and it will be marked on the calender. hmmmmm, methinks Mikej figures he's gonna cop the "Long Distance" trophy by riding in for this deal from Milwaukee (and judging by the pic in his profile, he's QUITE used to loading on the miles) "SuperSPLASH"? i LIKE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so, who's gonna ramrod this thing?

Ferris, Have an extra room for ya when you head this way. Heck, I would even let ya park your VFR in the garage! thanks, Jim, but are you sure you trust me around Shel? i mean, have you READ some of the things she's said in her e-mails???  the VFR would make a fine weapon for assaulting Mount St. Helens, but by next July there MAY be a new black Lightning in it's place -- fingers crossed..................

Ferris at SPLASH brings back some cold memories. I nearly lost my life to hypothermia the last time he attended. sumbitch, that was a c-c-c-c-cold motherhumper of a ride, wasn't it? remember Stuart Wells making "raingear" for everybody at the gas stop in Cougar out of plastic trash bags and electrical tape? and how cool was that family at the warming shelter below Windy Ridge when we roared in on the bikes, frozen to the bone, and "took over" their campfire? Not sure when in July SPLASH 2003 will happen, bet the Washington State Police would like to know. um, let's leave them out of this, we're gonna have enough problems with the Park Rangers.............

Ferris, She meant everything she said in her emails to ya! I am surpised you are not up here by now! I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you my friend. You did it for me and I will do it for you! There is no time better then the present to spearhead "Super Splash"! What can I do to help get it going? Jim | ||
| Iwannablikemike |
Spudman- you'da man! Thanks for all the pictures you posted. I love the one's of DEAD SEXXXY (that's right he is triple x rated) and of my little man Cody! He will be really excited to see his pictures on the web. He has such a good time with all you guys, thanks again! Kimberlie ps.... super splash, I can hardly wait. SV was groovy, Speed 3 will be SMASHING! | ||

I was going to do before and after photos of my new black cam cover and hand-polished header, but I never took the "before" photos. Oh well, here are the "after" photos:    The fun part about this project is that I also installed lightning cams. Mike L. '99 Cyclone | ||
| Pjmule |
Mike L., I just did my cam cover and primary too.Did them about a month ago,and I really like the way they look. Here's a few shots.    Pat Mullaney | ||
| Dueller |
Mike/Pat--What did you do the blacked out covers with? Powder coated? Mike---how do the lightening cams work with the non-TS heads? Worth it? jim | ||

Those Cafe fairings look ugly as sin. I think it'd look better mounted lower, though...but, to each their own. | ||
| Ferris |
super splash, I can hardly wait. SV was groovy, Speed 3 will be SMASHING! -- Kimberlie call me sexist, but women on motorcycles, women on horseback, and women driving Corvette convertibles have ALWAYS worked for me. not entirely sure why y'all needed to hear that, but now you know. Kimberlie, see you next July at SuperSPLASH. um, i'll be the one talkin' dirty with Shel....... FB | ||
| Ferris |
Ferris, She meant everything she said in her emails to ya! I am surpised you are not up here by now! yeah, that makes at least TWO of us....... There is no time better then the present to spearhead "Super Splash"! What can I do to help get it going? stand-by, i've been scheming, will post some thoughts Sunday evening......... FB |
