They just run forever. Kick start only. I let one of those yuppie HD riders TRY and kick start mine. Great for a laugh.

I got a unfair visual advantage over you guys, living just ~90 miles north of DAYtona so I see all the bikes coming and going....damn few are iron butt riders.......I see more bikes on open trailers behind a freeking TOYOTA than anything else....a Harley on a trailer behind a JAP mobile....
Kiss my ever lovin' ass....this country gone to hell....

My first Harley was a kickstart. A used 1973 Superglide. I had to kick it a zillion times to get it running with the factory Bendix carb. When I switched over to a 40MM Mikuni carb, I just pushed the little lever on the carb down and kicked ONCE. Instant start. I'll take a Jap Mikuni carb over any American carb on a Harley. Wait....didn't Harley eventually switch to a Jap carb before going with FI???

My problem is not the car, but the man behind the car. He took 500 of us and collectively started shooting fish in a barrel. Still never explained why.

I can understand him defending his car. Any one of us would do that. But he took the indefensible position that posting in that thread at CF was the correct thing to do. I tried to explian to him that his car didn't fit the description that the original poster asked for. But he seems to be blinded by how wonderful he thinks the car is. Just vaguely looking like a vintage Corvette racer doesn't mean it IS one. And that's what the original poster asked for. Pics of VINTAGE Corvette road racers. I was looking forward to seeing some pre-Stingray pics, but I didn't see any.

sumpthing must have triggered it...... I do not remember him being a troublemaker......
Anyways..... this whole cross website BS has to stop, we've had quiet a few visiting from other websites, some like it here and stay, some don't like it and leave and some just come over here and make an ass out of themselves.... whatever they choose it's up to them. :drink:
BTW, the above is a GENERAL statement, not specific for just this one thread and its participants.

If he can come up with one picture of that car on a track in traffic he's alright by me. Just one damn picture.
And you've been shot at before. Friendly fire. And you're still standing.

This reply from him just now....
Sadly I was never a photo type, so I don't pictures of him and me or Richard Petty and me or the Ramchargers and me or God and me.... Even now with a brand new pocket digital camera and a cell phone/camera I never seem to take any damn pictures. Very sorry
Funny, over the years this topic has not hardly ever come up....
and I have NO pix of my '60 vette either, or any of my Pontiacs either....
IF any existed, my sis must have them....

I have pics of just about every car I've ever owned...even beaters. Some are at the track and others are just in front of the house. Just about every buddy I had back then had either his girl or another buddy taking Polaroids of their cars. I even have pics of my Vette sitting at Pro Team Corvette before I took delivery and the pics on this forum are of different stages of me taking it apart. I just can't picture not having photographic records of my stuff. It's really cool to sit down with old buddies and exchange pics. And my wife loved them when I showed them to her after we got married. We still take a lot of pics of the house and at Christmas time. Only I don't much like getting in the pics any more.
I'll tell you one thing....if I was gonna post all those "cheesecake" pics of that yellow Vette and list all the doodads installed on it, I'd make damn sure I had at least ONE pic of it at the track. Otherwise, it's just a street Vette with a lot of decals, and not a racer. Hell, you can claim to own anything, but without pictures of it, it's just :bs:

They are real pics, not digital. I'll have to take a picture of them with my digital camera. Not sure how good they'll look

Scan them, then you can post them the same way as digitals.

Okay Mr. Moneybags. YOU buy one and ship it to me. I am in the middle of house remodelling and $50 buys a lot of paint. And my moneytree died two summers ago.

What you redoing?? that's what I used to do for a living....kitchens, baths, you name it....anything inside....some years ago here, I put on a 300' addition and it only cost me 8000 bux.....cheep as shit....
Yeh, I hear you, seem that too boot these LCD tv's are basically unsupported and just considered junk when it fails....so to junk something that is a 1500 dollar item is not on my list of dooables....
waiting for a 48+" LCD for 500 bux, that won't kill me.....I stick with my old glare prone CRT, picks up every light source in the room....
waiting on another 'caine' forming in the south over some islands....must be a bitch living there, every damn time you get your shit together, it's gets scattered again....:stirpot:
