They’re looking at that keg like where’s the tap!? They are looking at the keg, thinking, definitely on a DUI!  |

Maybe the sticker I need on there is actually "NOT BEER!" so no one tries to steal my gas tank.

4:25 in this vid, someone got me doing a burnout. I think this shock is just way too soft. It rides nice, but it bounces every time I do a burnout. The horn is because my gut is hitting the button as it bounces. lol youtu.be/P1W-Bd-Ysh0?t=265 |

Any updates on catching the BMW A**hole?
(Oct. 4, 2019) Police identified Josiah Ament of Lititz, Pennsylvania, as the driver who drove his car into a crowd of guests last weekend.
“In reference to pedestrians being struck at 33rd Street & Baltimore Avenue, it was not a hit-and-run,” Ocean City Police Department Spokeswoman Ashley Miller said. “The driver was still on scene but had moved away from the large crowd for safety reasons.”
Last weekend, a video posted online showed crowds of participants on 33rd Street and Baltimore Avenue surrounding a white BMW. For reasons unknown, the driver, later identified as Ament, suddenly drove his car into the crowd, hitting two pedestrians.
Police charged Ament with reckless driving, negligent driving, driver spinning wheels, driving a motor vehicle in a manner to cause skidding and driver failure to exercise due care to avoid pedestrian collision.
Miller said Ament was cooperative during the investigation, and police released him after issuing his citations.
Fortunately, neither of the pedestrians who were hit suffered serious injuries, and they both refused medical treatment, Miller said. |

Update from my friend is that his wife heard about using vids to prosecute on facebook so that really has no weight with only that info. People like to talk out their... well they just say things with little merit. EDIT : From a 2016 article about Cruisin' OC in may : ""Our officers will be looking at these videos and if they can positively identify the drivers and get probable cause to charge that driver with any wrongdoing, reckless driving, things of that nature, then the driver should expect a ticket in the mail," Richards said." So it's not out of the question, but I'll prob post as planned whenever I get to that point. Speaking of vids... just got part 5 of the TPR series done and uploaded. Crank install, a couple of bearings, making plugs for the e-start holes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfkVG1m8-Y0For the “third support” bearing installed on the primary drive gear (I believe) how ddid you know what size to get prior to install? Started a build thread for my Jog’s rebuild and am gathering parts now, but not sure how to get this one figured out? Also, when installing new bearings in the gearbox, do you prefer stock or a particular brand? |

For the “third support” bearing installed on the primary drive gear (I believe) how ddid you know what size to get prior to install? I knew the OD of the shaft going through the bearing (bearing ID) and the ID of the seat in the case (bearing OD) and then go with an available thickness that works with the depth of the race. That or someone told me or I looked at what the E-Ton used. I can't honestly remember. Also, when installing new bearings in the gearbox, do you prefer stock or a particular brand? Stock Yamaha would be fine. Wouldn't go for stock Chinese. I usually end up with SKF, but I'm open to other brands like FAG, NTN, Koyo and more. |

I forgot that you had your cases apart and were able to measure the seat beforehand. I may just have to wait until mine are split I guess. I’m sure I’ll be able to keep myself busy in the meantime with the rest of the build while I wait for it in the mail. Thanks for the info sir. |

Was hooked on that build video series on the youtubes(T2 sounds great) ...its funny seeing all the assclowns comments..and people talking smack on the legendary Peace Pipe , going to get another 2t for a winter project..Cant let the 2t fade away.. I must admit I was annoyed reading comments this morning. The majority, or at least half, seem to think I have no idea what I'm doing. Like I don't know that this cylinder is supposed to use a hyper race pipe and lightweight ignition. I also don't know how to tune a scooter. I have a few matter of fact comments about what I need to do to tune it. What weights, what timing, etc... I have an offer from a guy in Philly to tune it for me. I appreciate it, but I assume that's again because I must appear to be lost. I don't think it pays to be honest. You're better off to come across like you know everything so people question you less. Also not a good idea to stray from the herd. ONLY pair a hyper race kit with a hyper race exhaust. You might learn something if you do it any other way and that's pointless when you can just buy the most expensive parts you can find with the most prestigious names. Some people get it, but a lot don't seem to understand that goal 1 was not max power even though I made sure to go over that in the series. I plan to go there at some point...sort of. Not right now. What I'd like to do is try to find an exhaust and ignition for it maybe before the May 2020 car show. Probably MVT Digital Direct ignition. No idea on the pipe. Depends what's available for what price and how well it's supposed to work. Just can't happen right now. I put myself in enough of a hole just with my "cheap" engines lately so I have to dig out a bit. Regardless, I actually accomplished what I wanted. I got a replacement for the 103 that's at least as strong as it is and seems to work to ride around the car shows so I don't miss them. That point is totally missed though. If I worked on the 103 instead, my guess is that I'd be telling Ryan I can't make it because it's leaking again. Obviously the Peace Pipe sucks and looks weird because it's not what everyone else has. One comment was "get a u shaped pipe so you can go fast". I might just go grab a 1.25" U-bend from the parts store and put a flange on it. I appreciate my subscribers and that people actually watch my videos, but I think it's only human to get annoyed when it starts to look like people think you're totally clueless. You guys know me. I don't claim to be a genius, but it's not my first big bore kit either. It's odd how polarized things can be online. The majority of comments are either asking for help or telling me that I make things look easy or the total opposite that I'm a moron. I guess it would be kinda odd if people commented things like "not bad" or "okay job". |

Grain of salt and all that man. You did what you wanted to. Detuned a hyper kit to a little more manageable with the parts you have. Everyone is an armchair tuner....
I had one guy yell at me in french about why I used a soft mallet to seat the cases on the RC (because you can. Its a roller bearing so the bearings slide together with zero interference) I even talked about how you can do that with that kit but i guess it was lost in translation.
Deep breaths. There are all sorts out there.

I think the majority of the people do not clearly understand your unusual goal for this build. Even fewer know that you accomplished what you set out to do. I doubt it will help much, but post the latest OC ride video and provide the stupid ones a link to it.
By the way, this video series is very, very good!
