More progress on the buggy, got the front end just about sorted out suspension wise. will have 14"" of travel total. Still have some work to do on reinforcing the a-arms and fabbing the right side suspension mounts.

I can't wait to see this buggy in action!

Wild_Alaskan · 05-14-2013, 08:30 PM

Got the engine put together with fresh rings and gaskets, motor will be ready to mount when I get some all-thread and finish fabricating tabs. Tested the electric starter and it works very good.

Thanks for posting the update, WA! The engine looks good.

Extra points for displaying it on the kitchen table. I can't tell the difference between Cinnamon Toast Crunch and the much cheaper Cinnamon Toasters from Walmart.

Your sharp wit always brightens my day, Brother Weld!

I get the cereal in a bag which I assume is a similar generic. I like it fine.

I'm a cheap (frugal?) bastard. More $ for the Husky/KTM fund ;-)

I buy the bag of kid feed too.

I was disgusted to discover the knockoff raisin bran I bought from my local grocery store the last trip was more expensive than Kellogg's Raisin Bran!

I almost always check the price per ounce before I buy a generic product, but they fooled me this one time.

Never again!

God help the guy who rips off Spud on his Raisin Bran.

Amen!

I also fear for the woman who takes FastDoc in divorce proceedings.

There will never be another of those.

I am in the process of perfecting bachelorhood.

I think I would be living out of the hanger.
