eat your heart out CB ;D
Special thanks to Devious for taking time out of his schedule to go see this bike and verify its condition. :smiley-asskiss: :smiley-asskiss: :smiley-asskiss: :smiley-asskiss: :smiley-asskiss: :smiley-asskiss:
It was an Ebay auction at his local dealer in Birmingham and he went a looked at the bike for me and made it possible for me to know it was good without being there :smiley-asskiss: :smiley-asskiss:

Nice one! Great color too. :drink:
If I had known about the price, it would be sitting in my garage... not yours. ;)

Glad to help. It is a great looking bike.

And I sure wouldn't mind getting my hands on one. :wrench:

Too late!
I have done a 1.8L inline 4-banger, and a 403ci LS Chevy just this winter. ;D

On the S3, I may have what I need on the fuel side of things, just need to make sure.
Nice ride,I miss my R3 already.
I hope I get to buy mine back at salvage auction in the next couple of weeks
Nice pickup..... now you have the cruiser AND the hooligan... all sides covered.. ;)
you suck Dobie! :finger: I just now saw this thread, dang, I'm slip'n! You will definitely have to lemme know whacha think about it. Maybe, just maybe... a few years down the road... I might could add one to the stable. :fingure:
Congrats on the new wheels you lucky bastard!! ;D

I'll have you know I already have 3 bikes in the 'stable' Dobie. It just so happens I only own one. :twofinger: But I do have the keys to the other 2 in my possession, so they git thrashed from time to time. ;D
I need a better job so I can buy more bikes. How can you be cheap if you have more than one bike, can't ride both at the same time. Lucky bastard!
It's been mentioned in other threads but, Devi deserves humanitarian of the year, I mean he's helped "the slow kid" quite a bit and I'm sure has helped most of the rest of you. Devi is racking up some serious karma points. Oh and sick bike dobie :jerkoff:

Guys, it costs me nothing to help, and it sure beats sitting in front of the tube.
As long as it doesn't stop me from boating, all is well.

I have some boat tuning to do this weekend, so I might be out of contact for a bit. Trying to get a 2.5L V6 two-stroke dialed in and tuned up. Broke my nose again working on it Thursday (don't ask - stupid move that brought tears to the eyes :'( ), and got sunburned Friday tuning it and doing a photo shoot for a couple of boats for a magazine.

A twin turbo 403ci LS6 is next. Shooting for a reliable 1000 hp on PUMP GAS. :eek:

Don't pull the awe shucks..... We could send you a bottle of bourbon a month and we'd still be in your debt! :pow:

Now which boat mag?? Are we gonna get to see some pics?

Hope the weekend goes better now you have the bleeding out of the way! :drink:
My brother's company ( www.rpmpowerboats.com ) makes a fast 26' catamaran called a 26 Redline. One of them will be in Family and Performance Boating Magazine in 2-3 months. We have already done shoots and performance tests for Powerboat and Hot Boat magazines that were out in March and January respectively. [good bikini shots in Hot Boat ;) ]

My little yellow STV will be a filler article that could be used anytime later this year. It wasn't a planned article, just kinda happened. It may have photos of me with cheeks flapping in the wind at 100mph. I wouldn't go faster with the photographer on board without protective gear... the boat goes a LOT faster. They may not use any shots of my ugly mug at all. But Mercury Marine did for several years.... go figure. :laugh:

As for the nose, no blood this time (the eighth break). But twice I have had cartilage sticking out the side, and only a small amount of blood, and never a black eye. It only took a few minutes to realign it - lots of practice. But it is sore as hell, teaching me to be less stupid.

And I am sitting here looking at the data logging from Friday and making the boat faster while sitting at a desk. Technology is fun!
