tackleberry2000 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 There is something in life other than shooting and building guns???????? :o??????I work 60-70 hours a week (mon - fri) and have another 15-20 (sat - sun) on the honey do list a week. I find a little time once in a while to work on guns and shoot. Not much time for anything else for me. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Two-strokes are most definately a little known in this day and age.I remember long ago mocking a buddy for wanting his Dad's 250 Norton two-stroke. At the time he said quite seriously "It's more bike than you can handle. It's a screamer." Just a matter of fact.I want one now.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xzaq103 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 My hobby/passion is diesel performance. Ive been working and playing with them since 2004. In the summer im always racing at one track or another. My diesel addiction turned into a career in 2009 when a buddy and I opened our own performance shop. We sold some parts and worked on a few trucks but our main source of income was building performance injectors for older Cummins trucks. We parted ways i may (don't start a business with a friend) and I opened my own shop up in July specializing in injectors only.

planeflyer21 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yup, they're pretty cool engines! Seem to be well engineered.They've been working on certification for installation in production aircraft for over a decade now. When they get it Lycomings are going to be DIRT CHEAP.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built that one from boxes of parts. The bikes you are referring to are Chang Jiang which has roots to the 1938 BMW R71. They can be pretty cool once a decent engine (usually from a 70s BMW) has replaced the flaky Chinese original. There's also the Ural and the Dnepr, both essentially BMW copies.Here's another of my girls. This one is a '78 R100RS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Urals are Russian made. The Chinese versions are of about the same quality.The best models are made in Ukraine by Dnepr, a little more modernized and better quality control. They also make them up to 850cc.My non-mechanically inclined buddy bought one of the two-wheel drive Urals. Knowing he is who he is, it was constantly down. If it wasn't the popping out of gear it was the electrical system, if it wasn't the carbs it was the oil circulation.Don't know if this is true for the Urals, but the Dneprs can use Volkswagen cylinders...bolt right on. You can also get a 2-wheel drive bike as a "kit", bolt it together yourself for like $3k the last time I checked.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
