Its nice to read that you are doing OK and working on your bike.  There were some new Indian riders at the BUB meet and they were having a good time.  The tribe was well represented.  Hope to see you next year.

hey lars-sad to hear you never made the meeting-but kind of glad you were able to erase some problems in the workshop instead of having trouble on the salt-

your thread is still a source of major inspiration-keep at 'em.

for my birthday this year we went to the international indian rally in scotland,we took a couple of harleys and i had my 47 chief-

as always ,on the international rallies,we met some great folk,and especially the fins,who had ridden their aged iron over 2700 miles!!-you vikings are crazy!-

we met some great people and had some great times at bonneville too-

best wishes for the new year-p.j.

Lars,
  So great  to hear your words on a screen instead of thru a haze  in the sweat lodge.
   I moved the streamliner to Minnesota so the contigent up there can work in a  secret CNC machine shop to make the liner tech ready, while I keep the engine and redo the cam profile to prepare for trials this summer  up there.
  My thoughts have been answered.

Sadly; no...sort of...and yes....not really
I had it all ready, fuel, ignition (what more do one need?!)....it did say PHOURRFFF and then the oil poured out
of those f&%¤g silly oil-line joints , so I've just re-worked every part of them.

Before that, because of the new blower being slightly different,  I had to rework/modify
both parts of the intake "plenum", the blower-body, the blower mount, the blower to carb manifold
and the belt cover.

Getting ready to get it fired in a short while ( goodness; I've said that before...several times..urgh)

Is this the newest blower and repaired oil pump? Or still the first version?
I think Wobbly Walrus is going to attend the Indian Uprising BUB 2010 this year.

The walrus imagines midnight drumming at the bend in the road...a circle of scantily clad guys from Scandanavia, New Zealand, and everywhere else...dancing around a big smoky fire...fueled by a burning triumph.  The insurrection.  I will hide my bike.

In seriousness, maybe you'all can talk Delvene and Co. into putting the Indian stories into the BUB meet program.  They have a different theme each year and the insurrection would be a good one.

It’s all progress, good to see!  As my build partner says “…we haven’t built it unless we build it twice.”

Here’s some bike porn to ease the nerves
An Indian riding photographer friend travels to the salt with us each year. He got a web site up and running a few months ago. Some great tribal pics in these galleries…

Hi Lars,
I just read your build thread from the start. It's soooo typical of most builds of racing bikes and cars. Everything looks and feels just right, but when you fire it up and run it down the road for the first time, all those nasty demons show themselves.

As always, I am impressed by your craftsmanship and sense of style.

I really hope you can make it to Bonneville this year.

Keep smiling, --EP

[indianjoe45]

Thank you for the up-date Lars... she's looking good mate! Please keep us informed when you start testing.
All the best.....

Yep; you'll be the first to know.


No big update yet.
Have been too busy working, which is bad as I don't have time for this stuff,
and good 'cause I'll make some money so I can do this stuff
.-)
I'm off from work starting Tuesday, so hopefully the beast will be ready
for start-up shortly.

Have spend a few nights trying to learn a new skill;
TIG alu-welding: CLICK
as Kenneth, who put in a LOT of work actually doing the alu-welding
has left the project.....so guess I'll just have to learn it myself, won't I !?
