I'd say "Let the butchering begin", but once again, Doug is a step ahead of me.

JimmyTheHog · 12-14-2012, 07:58 AM

I like that the key is still in the ignition and ready to go when your done

Looking forward to this build - and then where Doug will take it...

bmwhacker · 01-24-2013, 10:28 AM

BUMP

So what's new?

rtwdoug · 01-24-2013, 11:02 AM

waitin on some dirtster parts, so I can get that thing goin.

I picked up this 44 chief recently, & today Im trying to get the charging system ironed out, & do a little tuning on it.
I'll probably just swap it over to 12 volts & put a cycle electrics generator on it, would save me some headaches I think

pretty bike, but more chrome than I would prefer.

a 3 seater would be nice if I was single, then I could double date easier!
(my old sidecar outfit was handy for that)

But, since Im not, the first thing I did was put a solo seat on it.

ADK · 01-24-2013, 03:14 PM

What happened to the first dirtster?

One Less Harley · 01-24-2013, 07:23 PM

44 Indian Dirtster.....talk about an upset, not even Doug would do that

...or would he

mark1305 · 01-25-2013, 08:38 AM

Doug, I just checked the latest pages in this thread (after a long time) and saw the Ducati. If you need any oddball parts, let me know. I still have several boxes of various parts from my old Monster and a 92 900SS/Superlight that I got as a basket case way back. That includes small stuff up to a good crankcase, fresh rebuilt crank for 92-93 models, etc.

rtwdoug · 01-25-2013, 09:27 AM

Hey Mark
thanks, I'll keep that in mind. So far I havent needed anything, But, it being italian, and me being me, Im sure I'll tear something up on it before long.

You going to the Dania Beach bike show saturday? I am not sure how far it is from you

Doug

mark1305 · 01-26-2013, 03:46 PM

Nahhh, didn't want to head to Dania. I had a boatload of chores to do around here while the weather is perfect. I actually got a good bit of it done.

If you ever find the need to do clutch work or head work on the Duc while you have it, PM me. I've made up a couple of special tools that I hung on to after selling both Ducs. Just in case

As seen in Dania Beach FL. Doug it was great meeting you.

rtwdoug · 01-30-2013, 10:24 PM

I went on safari today, hackin my way thru the jungle lookin for a diamond in the rough.....

those TV guys make it look so easy!

'turn off the paved road' was in the directions. 3 MILES off the paved road...... (the radio started playing banjo music)

You might be a redneck if......
the phrase 'time to re-roof the house' means buying another 20.00 tarp at walmart

this stuff hadnt seen the road for a LOOOOONG time

The best thing I found was this 47 BSA 500 flat tracker. motor turns over, I was amazed! I'm looking forward to turning gasoline into noise with this!

ML WYDELL · 01-31-2013, 05:08 AM
