timmythecop Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 after coming out of a 2 day in-bed sickness, I discovered that the problem was that the petcock flowed really slowly and that is why the 2 right jugs were starved of fuel. That has been solved BUT, I still do not have a title and I keep thinking about the court appearance where the judge says "Sergeant Steffes, you should have known better....", so I AM loading up the Yellow Peril for the trip. This is double bad news because I wanted everyone who wanted to have a go, to be able shriek around on that little rocket. It kinda negates all the sleepless days working on it to get it ready in time, but what are you gonna do, right? I think I will drink some gin and then go bid on El Caminos to drown my sorrows.

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted May 13, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 13, 2013 Eventually you are going to take it to court (to get the title, I presume). Why wait? You're going to have to anyways. At least this way you know if you have a street bike or a track bike. Also, there is that go-kart track behind the motel that may be big enough for the 500, but would require on-site testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanadianKen Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Spoke with Timmy last night - I believe the issue is that if the bike were to get impunded in NC for no title, the ONLY solution would be for the previously titled owner to show up in NC to gather the bike up. That wouldn't happen - so Timmy would be out a bike (long term) and depending on when the impound happened during the week that we are there - he may be riding a lawnchair at the motel for a few days while the rest of us are riding. The Yellow Peril is the better choice given the circumstances. I'm meeting Timmy about an hour south of Pittsburgh in Morgantown WV, and then we're loading his bike up from there. Couldn't really get 3 bikes on my trailer - it would be close to overload with that weight - and for a long trip - not gonna do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmythecop Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 took it for a 20 minute ride, It is alarming how quickly it changes direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmythecop Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 more test rides...... I love the motor. Very revvy, and the torque curve is a straight slant up. The power is near the same everywhere, so you do not have to pin it all the time. Really like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
