Re: Another reason to be nice to people

An armed society is a polite society. BTW,I know personally what is required to own a legally-registered automatic weapon and it's safe to say you won't see people carrying them around in their day to day routine.

Re: Chopper Pictures

Clint, These 4 are my bikes. My girlfriend rides the trikes. There is one more on the way in 2-3 weeks which is a 620 hp trike. The paint will match that of the white/tribal bike. I am leading the contest of the number of payment books by a long shot. My favorite saying is 4 more years and they are...

What's the fuel tank capacity,Dave? Are all four of those beauties your personal rides or are you a dealer?

Re: V8Chopper - Bullet Fast

Clint, I'll definitely take a look at the Challenger with the floats. Have you seen the flying inflatables I was talking about? In the neighborhood of $25k last I checked depending on model. I occasionally see one buzzing around here and am really taken with the concept. Not a real "get around...

Re: V8Chopper - Bullet Fast

Clint, Absolutely beautiful birds! Yes, it's amazing how much more versatile, efficient and fun the experimental composites are. I still have an itch with the flying inflatables from time to time. Useful load and what they can do with respect to water are really impressive and beckon me. The though...

Re: V8Chopper - Bullet Fast

I didn't know Fred personally but knew who he was,a pretty active fella in the ultralight community. My flying partner and I always wanted to fly down to Lakeland but unfortunately,we never accomplished that feat. A LancAir IV cruises almost 350mph but probably cost $250-500K to build.

Re: V8Chopper - Bullet Fast

I've been to Sun-N-Fun about a dozen times,Elliot. We always camped out in the Ultralight section of the field.
Here's a photo of the last aircraft I built,a Quad City Challenger II Clipwing Special. I flew it to Oshkosh in '96.

Re: V8Chopper - Bullet Fast

The Trike does have a rear suspension, coil over shock. The ride is very good and would be suitable for cross country travel even though it is geared a little low (rpm is high at cruise.) The Trike has a smoother and more stable ride than my 502 did with the extended front end. The trike handles an...

Re: V8Chopper - Bullet Fast

The more I look at that thing,the better I like it. After reading about how it runs,I'm starting to look towards the future.
What kind of money would it take to have a trike like that built? We would want to tour on ours so could you add a hitch and pull a trailer?

What type of transmission do the V8 choppers utilize? Is it the same Nesco unit the Boss Hoss uses?
The V8 trikes use a GM Powerglide trans,correct?

There are so many people there that don't get on these sites you will meet it will certainly make your trip worth while, it is a laid back, great time, get together for the V8's.
