Road the Duffy Lake Road loop today, videoing my buddy Jeremy being a hooligan on his Daytona......



At least that was the plan. Jeremy arrived with my brand new battery, installed it and still no joy.....now I get to start tearing down the starting system tomorrow starting with the starter button and work my way down to the starter motor.

All I get when I push the button is a single click from the solenoid and nothing else.....the tech I talked to on the phone swore it was a battery issue...oh well.

Meanwhile, my buddy is out having fun and I am stuck here going nowhere until I get it sorted.

I spent the second half of the day tarting around on a British motorcycle website for a change. I've decided that you guys are a lot more civilised.

on my vehicles whenever you get a single click it means there is either a shorted wire/broken wire between the battery and the starter OR a bad starter. Which on most motorcycles is actually a rectifier and a stator motor. Seriously I would check EVERY wire. I thought I had a problem with my stator at one time but it ended up being underneath the frame work 2 of the wires had rubbed right through that were coming from the stator to the rectifier. took me a half hour to find those damn things since they were tucked under and away so you couldnt see them till I pulled the wires out. Then I spliced em back together and life has been all good :D.

Found out my nephew had a photo selected to be on a Jones Soda label...

So next time you're looking for a Cream Soda, check out if it has this label...

How much is 355 mL? haha

Went to a dyno day yesterday. Saw a Dodge Ram 2500 put down over 1800 ft lbs of torque, and an Eclipse put down 641 HP. Then saw a supercharged busa put down 317 hp. All of those are uncorrected numbers at 6200 ft on a 20% humidity day at 55 degrees. Serious power there.
Did the mother's day thing today which was really nice.
