So what are you doing at the job David? Making meth or what? You said it involved chemicals.

The cart is officially a pain in the a$$. It took me 5 hours to get the coil overs on the front and the shocks on the back. I did my car faster than that. I found a maintenance and service manual online actually there are two manuals not including owner's manual. The maintenance manual was 212 pages and the service/parts manual was 112 pages for a freakin golf cart. I can't beleive it. I am trying to remember the order to put it back together in. Too many days have passed. I hate putting parts on and then removing them just to put on another that should have gone on first.

My father comes home today. He is recovering better than expected every hour. As of right now he has only been out of open heart surgery for 62 hours.

The Gunbus 410 cubic inch V-Twin motorcycle is complete. The monster engine placed in a motorcycle frame of comparable size looked impossible and many who saw the photos were skeptical of the bike ever being finished but I guess, Clemens F. Leonhardt is one of those persistent guys who ignores the naysayers and keeps at his work.
The fuel injected, 45 degree 6728 cc / 410 cubic inch V-Twin runs through a 3 speed transmission with reverse and actually looks pretty good in its finished state compared to the initial photos, in fact, everything looks good. It puts out 523 foot pounds of torque. Seat height is 31.5 inches and overall length is 136 inches. It is a little heavy at 1433 pounds so high speed corner carving might be an issue and there aren’t any photos of the big bike on the road so I guess we’ll have to wait for the road test, that is if someone can actually road test this monster.
This is actually going to go into limited series production and a sidecar will be available as well which might help with balance when waiting at a light. I don’t even want to think about a driveway tipover. I think this is great! Now, where’s the video?

Thanks guys. You would not believe how strong and tough he is. He would have made a good cowboy.

I am itching to drive the Stang today, but it looks like rain.

I hear a song in that statement...............I should've been a cowboy, I should've learned to rope and ride......

I'm glad he's doing well Gary.

Your dad is as tough as mine.
Rain was part of why I am back so soon
The other reason is that banks are closed today for a local holiday, the local Constitution day, if I remember
I completely forgot it, since Friday is my usual day off.

+1, that bike is waaay too big

I work at a parmaceutical (sp?) company, and I get rid of the laboratory wastes from the initial trials. They have contaiminated trash containers that I bag up, label, and store in a certain place. Then they have the liquid wastes, that I transport from the labs to the disposal chamber, into 55gallon drums. When I go into that room, I have to get full suited up, nomex shirt, gloves, safety glasses, respirator, hard hat, etc. It's not bad so far, and I should be able to continue during the school year, but if it's going to impede on my 3.9, I'm leaving, and they know that already. But lets hope it's not a problem.

I'm sorry Jill, the housing market was so good for a long while, I was hoping the seemingly inevitable wouldnt happen. Try to enjoy your vacation, and I'm sure you'll find a good job soon. Good things happen to good people.

Well we made it back home from our road trip, my house is still standing and my son still has all his fingers and toes. The weather was just awesome, we were boating on the lake, floating down a slow relaxing stream with a beer, horse back riding. And of course lots of laughter and fun had by all.

Jill. I'm very sorry to hear that.

We are still riding it out here. But there's not a day that goes by that I don't worry.
