Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Rob,

If you have a link to that electric stuff I would appreciate it. If not, do you remember any of the stats?

Bill, Not that there's any science to my statement here, but I killed those two deer back to back in the truck in one week and killed another two during the course of a month all recently. One came out of nowhere and I nailed it at 55 mph in the truck on a busy 2 lane road. No time for any evasive a...

Ricky, Those statistics are mind bending. It's unbelievable that parts can withstand those kinds of forces, pressures, etc. I guess they often don't come to think of it. Watching the NHRA runs it seems like about 50% or probably well less end up making a successful run. I know lots of times it's due...

Bill, really sorry to hear that story about your Dad. I had only vague memories of Neal having mentioned it to me and it was well after the fact. In the big scheme of things I think your Dad was lucky. You've still got him and can relish many good days ahead I hope. There was a young gal this past y...

Bill, I'm going to look up "Charlottesville" on my mapping program as soon as I quit laughing my stones off. That picture of your bike's rear end, the fire....I'm speechless. That's just too damn funny! Bill, was it your Dad or Uncle who wrecked outside Daytona? Has he fully recovered? Nei...

Bill, How the heck are you?! Missed seeing you the last few Daytona years due to commitments, my moving, etc. I've got to figure just how far you are from my hacienda in NC. I regularly cruise through a few VA towns but they're inland in the mountains. We'll talk and perhaps I'll eat some bugs (no w...

Eagle, There's books that can be written on carb leaning, timing, nitrous applications and such but some general considerations you may want to consider. On these boards, Geezer, Carb Mike, Adrian and Fast Eddie are great consultants with respect to fuel and timing issues. Most of my V8 bikes and tr...

Eagle, that fire you're seeing is most probably due to a very rich fuel mixture or a timing issue. No, in spite of that motor being very high performance, it's not a nitro dragster and you don't want to be seeing flames. It's all unburned fuel. Lean it and check the timing.

Elliot

Appreciate hearing you are riding and happy with the bike. As mentioned, I know this bike and was always amazed at what Mike did with it... looks and performance. The sound alone can give a guy wood. I personally stand behind Mike and Summit as a result of history and other's testimonials. He's done...

Ricky, Thanks for the kind words. That chopper sticks with me years later as I too thought it was a great looker. Ran like a raped ape. Not sure why as I didn't do that much to the motor beyond cam and heads. Going to the Holley carb instead of the Edelbrock (and Demon in between) and spraying it de...

Rob, Appreciate knowing that. I remember some wild stuff going on especially when it came to V8eyedoc doing his thing. He'd take a pretty good spanking occasionally, ha ha. As mentioned, I made a lot of really good friends over the years as a result of spending time on that board and getting togethe...

Eagle, A few thoughts here which will have a total value of .02 cents. Not meant to take anyone's back, whitewash your troubles or anything, but serve as food for thought. Let me preclude it by saying I have nothing other than a very casual relationship with Mike and good memories of some great ridi...

Eagle, I haven't caught but little bits & pieces about your bike. I got the impression that it was formerly Marco Mike Kelly's personal bigblock Boss? If so, I've driven, raced against, and done a lot of trolling through Naples and Ft. Myers next to that bike. It was always one badass ride and g...

A very interesting thing has occured as a result of these boards. After 50 someodd years of making friends through conventional means, I ended up making numerous, high quality friends as a result of "meeting" if you will on these type of sites. Yep, I see how internet dating got so big! Th...

Got it! Thanks for your help. When not knowing these things, you could either be a REAL popular guy or branded as a cheap skate. For all I knew, $50 U.S. could have been $500 Euro or .50 Euro!

Elliot

Hate the need to be spoon fed not only with picture posting but now with giving bucks (vs Euros). Can anyone tell me how to change the Euro to dollar when I click on the "Donate" (PayPal) button?

Elliot (Elsboss)

Joe, you are 100% right on. Of course both you and I freely admitted that Lamont can do whatever he wants with HIS site and I respect that fully. I don't have any gripe with Lamont (he's a really good guy) or some of the dumb shit comments that followed up the thread being blitzed. I don't need to m...

Thanks much guys. I'll give it a try here in a moment. Appreciate the help. Really glad to see/hear a bunch of the old crowd is still coming to these sites. I talk to Geez via email frequently as with Neil. I see Steve Barr often and of course all the SW FL guys although not nearly as often since I ...

Unless I missed it, I haven't seen any chatter about Daytona here. Lots of it happening on the other site. No need to repeat all that's been posted there regarding rides, barbeque, get-togethers and such as it seems to be very well covered but did want to invite all V8 riders (or anyone for that mat...

Joe (or anyone willing to help), Can someone give me the short version of how to put a picture below your post. Can it be done like a signature? I readily admit to being pretty good on a V8 at the track but extremely challenged when it comes to pictures/computers. PM would be fine so as not to screw...

I didn't know whether to post here or on the "Censorship" thread but seeing ol' bud, Doc Joe here....here I is! Great looking site. Hello Joe! I was right in the middle of the thread on Lamont's site regarding dealers, Milwaukee BH, and the bullshit that Pass-N-Gas was going through. I had...
