Re: Engine design

What is the advantage of using an orbital cut? Perhaps the early stones would get too hot? I've been (sort of) looking for an old hand cutter that does the top and bottom of the seat. The one that narrows the seat and sets the height. I learned on one of those and still like them. I picked up many y...

Re: International Motorcycle Show in Seattle

Anyone go?
I was thinking of it but just got back from Oregon caves, went dirt riding yesterday and didn't feel like driving over and back.

Guy I know had his Aprilia RS250 on display.

I haven't tried it yet. I need to make the wiring harness first (not much to it- no battery, no regulator, two switches.)
