I posted some pics of my tour buss on my profile. I had mentioned it before but only now did I realize that I could put pics of it on my profile page. Part 53 Chevy truck, part Yamaha Virago, Part Vannagon, part lawn tractor, and whatever..... it gets me to jams with a 200 watt amp sporting a 15" JBL, a 5" squaker, and a 4" horn. I also carry two of my favorite Strats and a dog or two.

I've always ridden bikes, never had a license for a car since I made a mess of my dads car when I was a kid. (Snuck it out in the middle of the night when the folks were at a dance and the accelerator stuck on me. I nailed about every garbage can in the alley before I could get it back to where it was. Unexplainable dents appeared in the fenders.) After that I only rode bikes. Much safer.

Very Funny..

BTw Leon Russel aint got nothing on you man

Bad ass !
Love that Johnny Winter look , too !

Posted here... thanks .. cool! I don't know how to do that stuff. It is a nice ride. 85mph on the first barrel of the dual Webber. Then when the second barrel kicks in it has a power surge to 90-95. Then it blubbers because there isn't enough air flow. I should supercharge it but I would loose the MPG. (29 @ 55mph, and 23 mpg @ 75mph.

for the curious, there are three more views of it on my page.

Had to let the hair grow this winter. My daughter kept forgetting to bring over her hair tools. Finally she called and asked if I still wanted it cut. I said nope. I'm just going to let it grow.

Who programed this spell checker? A kindergarten dropout?

I guess you don't have winter there in Iowa!

I want it just for the slots!

We sure do. And nasty ones at that. When I was younger I used to ride all winter. I once took a friend home in an ice storm with a -70degree wind chill. Then I came back and took her daughter home. During a blizzard I went visiting friends just to see the expression on their faces when a bike appeared out of the whiteout during the storm. None of that these days.

Of course that was on a two wheeler (A dirt bike) But I still ride in the winter when the streets are fairly clear. Other than that I just go to the store once a week when my daughter goes shopping. Her car is a lot warmer. I only have one problem with it. The heater sucks in winter and the air conditioning sucks in the 100 degree summer days.

I LOVE IT SLACK!!!

I think it is really nice and a great color too!

The hair is cool too, especially for a rockin guitar player like you, but I gotta say I can't imagine not having a car...Need a stereo to blast the tunes, just take me to a car show, my favorite place to be, around muscle cars!!


Ride on and play on Slacker G!!

Tammy

That is freakin' awesome!?!

You must have manufactured it yourself, right?



btw, you look more ilke Gandolf the White than Johnny Winter.

Pretty cool MacGyver'ed trike.

What's up with the airflow? Heck, put some vents/ram air ducts in there.

Although, I can't say I'd want to be doing 85 in that puppy.

Yes that is a home made ride. I have a site that is called> Slacker G's Roadart < that shows how to build a simpler ride step by step.

The airflow is good. It even has a spoiler underneath that diverts air into the engine compartment. It's just a head/valve airflow problem. I have a brand new tricked out engine with super flow heads. I just haven't bothered to install it. Actually it still needs to be broke in. But in order for keep the gas air mix in proportion I would have to supercharge the carb air intake when utilizing both barrels. The thing handles like a dream, but with a flat bottom I would also be concerned about 100mph + speeds. No problem, 90 - 95 is good enough. I start to squirm a bit at that speed anyway. Too much faster and I would have to carry a change of underwear even on short sprints. (

Now that's just cool ...
