Good grief. I couldn't keep up with you before, from Gnaw Bone to Nashville...I'll really be in your dust now.

Re: the mongruel is getting a 1200 motor transplant put in
thanks for the few comments jbz ..brokentoe.......this bike went really over the top in outcome ....it is a whole new ball game to grasp its power .... the video dose a great job of showing how the bike jumps and stays there till next shift ... had to shut it down there was a car coming ... hooch sure shows how well the heart is on these oldwing 4 bangers are... the torque is huge ... it is certainly a treat to have this bike to throw your leg over and ride ... it seems to reach all expectations one could have easy ... and has brought in all kinds of thought on bringing the rest of the bike up to the motor capabilities

Joe, are you back in Orlando yet? I'd like to take a look at your single carb setup before I get to the point of building mine. That 1200 sure sounds strong, hope mine sounds as good when I get it up and running.
