Locodude fitting a bike engine?????

Hi All
Contrary to recent rumours regarding the fittng of a Motorbicycle engine of Japanese origin in the Tangerine Dream, I can clearly state that this is nonsense. Whoever started the rumour should be shot at dawn and then hung drawn and quartered. Frankly you should all be ashamed of yourselves for thinking such a thing!!! A hipocrite I am not, well not today anyway, and who said there was anything wrong with Jap bike engines anyway, not me, I love 'em. In fact that sounds like a good Idea, no,no, must resist, keep taking the drugs. Repeat after me 'We fought them in the war you know' etc........'grandad........bridge........river kwai......'etc.......must resist...........................................................................................................................................(coll apses in a sweaty heap)

(wakes up after a nasty dream)
Ahhhh the sound of twin 40's, the smell of a leaky x-flow, the sound of a rorty exhaust, it must have been a bad dream!!!!

Careful Chris them pesky Jap are masters at mind tricks.

Just don your gas mask, place combat helmet on head and run for cover.

Anybody thought about a Triumph engine? British built ya know.... and apparently the 955i out of a Sprint makes more torque and more bhp than a Fireblade.... and have you heard a triple at 10,000 revs?

think your reading ptm's mind, did u not say this motor was possible ??

built in oil leaks too................


johnston - 16/2/03 at 06:20 PM

built in oil leaks that'll remind him of his x-flow then


locodude - 16/2/03 at 06:44 PM

I'll have you know that the oil leaks are built-in as a form of anti corrosion protection! I know someone who took out a 4AGE engine from a Toyota and it was red rusty. I rest my case.
