We went riding with Muff yesterday, he decided to return to racing again and he bought jason connells honda 450r, when he bought it they told him itd need a new crank soon...it grenaded 10 minutes into the ride.

ok, this is a little odd. a father/son singing a duet originally by jason aldean/kelly clarkson. and they take turns awkwardly staring at the camera

oh and greg at kiwi said he was going to keep as much squish area in the head as possible, but he had a pretty good idea of how to help the flow and unshroud the valves without killing compression too much. i need to bring him the guides and gasket before he can do anything.

We went riding at rices, the sand pit in north haven...i think you went riding there a few years back on holenbecks 250x with Pj. it was like a 5 minute tow back, and no hes racing A class cause he stopped racing for 2 years, so hes allowed to drop down a class.

did you ever buy a stroker piston?

miles- we can always custom fab you a switch panel, if you can draw it we can build it. i know someone with a plasma cutter, welder, drill press, and powdercoater.

no piston yet. i need to decide what size bore i want to run. its going to be around $250 for a custom piston for 96mm bore which is what i want. i could just run the 94mm jug with an off the shelf piston just to get it running. i also need to get threaded bungs and rod ends for my subframe.
