there's not much I like better than a good garage sale day. I got some nice old metal organizing drawers for the garage for 4 bucks, an old school full face helmet for a dollar (I collect old metal flake and goofy helmets for garage decorations) that looks like this without the windscreen:


but the best part is a set of 40mm Dellorto carburetors for a type I VW motor. manifolds & linkage, but no air filters for a hundred bucks. They go for $500-$700 a pair used & 40mm are the perfect size for the baja's 1910 motor. Yippie! They're very similar to weber IDFs, but supposedly a little smoother running overall. They look like this:


I'll get better gas mileage, smoother part throttle running and more power than the single weber 44 that's on there now. A single carb means super long intake runners where the fuel falls out of suspension. Long runners are good for low end torque but that's it.

tried linking to something but couldn't make it work. oh well. gotta run to work.

This looks neat, wish I knew about it earlier:

one mile standing start top speed shootout

it's at the Nellis air force base of all places. Killer! I haven't taken my R1 to the track, so there's some safety wiring & stuff to do to meet their tech inspection. I haven't even read what the price is yet, but I'm pretty broke. we'll see if I can manage to make it. Maybe just to spectate if nothing else.

hmmmmm. uploaded camphone pic and it put it right here on a new journal entry for me. That wasn't my intention. oh well, since it's here, if you want to see a problem just right click and take a look at my palm. It's not as bad as it looks in the photo, that's a relatively thin piece of flesh you see hanging off. mostly it's just going to keep me from bowling with the rest of SGVegas this weekend. My previous blog entry was about how much I love working. This palm situation is going to modify that view a bit this week.

Man I love workin! I luve it! work work work. good thing too, because I'm BROKE!

Tavin Dillard is purty dang funny buddy I tell you what.







There's only about a hundred and fifty more videos, check 'em out.
actually there are 105 more I just checked.

apparently tonight is another midnight mayhem at the drag strip. Unusual to have 2 Fridays in a row. Last time that happened the turnout was very small which means a lot of runs. I should go, but I'm still undecided. I haven't changed anything with the mustang yet, but I can try being a little gentler off the line to keep more traction this time. Only got 2 runs it's first time out, one I left it in D out of curiosity which cost me almost a second over shifting manually. So basically one run so far. I'll report tomorrow if I do go.

I'm declaring a war on my torso. The first battle was close, but I ended up victorious. I brought the mountain bike back from Colorado on the last trip since I was missing it terribly. So being out of shape and over enthusiastic I decided to take a trail I hadn't before. The particular trail is a part of the Bootleg Canyon trails that I regularly ride, but it's not on any map because it goes off Boulder City land and onto BLM (I think?) land so it's really not supposed to be there. If you look at the map, where "Mother" goes off the left side of the map it continues and eventually turns right and works it's way back toward the main complex. I thought (actually was told) it joined up with "West Leg" near or at the top of that trail. Actually it makes a huge loop and connects at the very bottom (furthest outward portion) of Caldera. I started out at the very bottom of POW, judging from the scale I'd estimate my total ride to be close to 20 miles, definitely at least 15, lots of climbing & lots of downhill too. It was a super ride and I'm going to do that exact route (but probably the other direction) more, but I'm going to have to take more water. I got a late start, like 7:30. I saw nobody at all after 8:00, by 9:00 it was probably 95 degrees, and I figured I must be at least half way, so I might as well continue on although I started conserving water. up until that point I figured maybe I wouldn't do the whole planned ride, but just go "a little further" and turn around. By 10:00 it was probably 100, the high was 105. No shade anywhere. That's not bad for here unless you're working your ass off and run out of water, which I did. I started getting goosebumps and funny chills toward the end, but I was still sweating so it wasn't serious. They say you're in dehydration/heat trouble if you stop sweating. I felt like I had a cold for the rest of the day though. Take that you fuckin stupid pot belly.

Another nice long ride after work yesterday. It was overcast and raining a bit which brought out a very big desert tortoise! he was inches from the trail, but I saw him before I got there. I got off the bike and walked it around, he never even went inside his shell! I kept my distance because I didn't want to stress him out:

I think they mean environmental sorts of stresses, but the idea of something that moves .025mph getting stressed out is sort of endearing, so I give 'em a break. Too bad I left my cell phone in the truck or I'd have taken a pic to post up.

Fuck, I just broke a tooth. this should be a fun weekend.


5 hours and the tooth hasn't started singing yet, maybe it'll be ok until Monday. Dragstrip tonight! Nothing new with the mustang to address it's traction issues so I'm taking the R1. yippie!


since this entry lacks anything entertaining here's Graham Reynolds aka The Golden Arm Trio doing a Star Wars Medley, i think I posted it a couple years ago, but I gots nuttin else right now.


got an 11.115 @ 135 out of the R1, that's a little better than the 11.4 from the zrx. got showed up once by a gal on another stock length liter bike (but it was my worst run at 11.56 (tire spun and the front lifted) and once by a young kid on a stretched 750. Best 60' time was 2.25 which is bad, nearly as bad as the mustang. I don't care to do burnouts to aid traction, I favor saving the tire. front usually comes up first anyhow, so why bother. Fun regardless, but I doubt I'll take the R1 much anymore. I'd rather take a bike that's slower but surprisingly quick than one that's expected to be super fast. I'm wondering what kind of time I could get from the H2 with a stretched swing arm and geared specifically for the 1/4. if I could do 11's that'd be tits. I'll look into it. It would save me money not trying to make the thing handle.

I'm off to Colorado for a week, it's my niece's 2nd birthday. My cousin who usually takes Norvin to his place for me is out of town, so I switched my flights to Thanksgiving & I'm taking the pickup & the dog. I'm very happy about that, I hate to be away from Norvin. Plus I'm bringing back my mountain bike which I miss most terribly as well as the ZRX. It's cool enough in the mornings now to hit the trails and I've got cabin fever. Next Friday is the open night at the dragstrip, I'll take the R1this time.
