Mine is on hiatus.  With the $2000 engine I paid for getting lost by the freight company..... I'm screwed.  The company is offering max insurance pay out of $23.50.  Their lawyers have it sewed up to where it would cost me and the seller more than 2grand to take them to court.

Can you spell  A S S H O L E S :twisted:  :twisted:

[Mustang (OP)]

here's a novel idea :idea:
why don't you take the two tigres you bought and make one decent one that runs .............

so what if it's not a diesel it will still sound sorta like one  

[coachgeo]

I cant afford to spend money on something that is just fun.  Hell Im having to sell good necessities, and live with shiaty ones as it is.

A diesel tiger will get close to 100mpg at the same level of fun..  My commute is half hour each way.

[Mustang (OP)]

A diesel tiger will get close to 100mpg at the same level of fun..  

not if it never comes to be ................. :shock:

It will.... I'm stubborn and patient.

If things get tougher and require me to HAVE to abandon the project the bikes will go to good hands.

Are any of you guys registered over there ?

Whats the answer to the friggin question about

What motorcycle is commonly used in Diesel conversions?:
For protection against spam, Answer the above question.

I tried enfield Tiger triumph tiger BMW K100 etc etc etc Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Do they really think the spam bots are gonna get past the friggin alpha numeric Image!

Some people are just too friggin anal about security!

[coachgeo]

yeah Im on there.  I think it is Enfield.  did you spell it right?  did you capitalize the "E"?

I left a message to see if their may be an issue on why you cant get registered.  What username you wanting to use?

If you have never administrated a board before you can not appreciate the reasoning behind the security.  Spammers, robots, register and crap your board.  It is a ROYAL PITA and lots of hard work to keep the junk off of a board.

There's a guy (or was a guy) called coachgeo on this forum who was in the process of doing it.  Don't know if he ever got there but he had done the research.

Why not search for him and his posts.
