That's a nice bicycle. A Raleigh isn't it? Too bad the lawn chair material is blocking it.

[LUKE]

yah its a 1980 raleigh prestige racing thang, bought it 40bucks from a yard sale. its so light weighs 18lbs
it will be modified and will undergo transformation in few minutes..

With a morph engine powering it? With your skills as a welder I think you ought to get your self a wrecked scooter with decent engine and weld up your own chassis. I want a scooter with around 4 to 700cc maybe a twin cyl with a full floor board and good ground clearance so it will lean and handle. A nice one was built on a salisbury chassis for a cross country race last year, that was one I would love to have.

now let's see if the lard really works...
i'm really amazed in magoo's unique style of scooter periodic maintenance.. lol

[mike6736]

LOL... Why on earth would you use lard for any thing, even cooking. You should be useing a light grease on them bearings. Why I never!!!

lol,,, just funnying here!

Nothing better than donuts cooked in lard or potato chips cooked with it. And pie can not be made that tastes right with out it in the dough. And it is still less damaging to your arteries than the poison they call transfats (hydrogenated oils)

[LUKE]

yeah, that's 100% transfat..no1 cause of artherosclerosis. no.1 killer.... it's better to use in bearings than in food just to be on the safe side.


but lard can make a good fishing bait, i mix flour, lard, fish extract or crushed libby's sausage(50¢) mix well until it becomes thick then ready to use, ahhhh catfish and carp love it.

[mike6736]

I only use olive oil and very little of that to cook with...

OK... My work for the weekend is almost over. Put new fuel and vacuum line in the Magnum 300, solid brass motor mounts on the rear (bummer to make). Had the fuel and vacuum lines so replaced to look good in there. Carb was cleaned and rejetted, cleand air filter and and box. Realigned the rear axles, changed axle gear oil and lubed all rear swing arm bushings and bearings. Just have to put the left rear tire on, another look over and a test ride.
