I'll pop the hood on the Kitty Cat when I get home from work, guys. All I remember is the fuel mix is true 2 smoke, 16:1.

Weldangrind · 05-07-2012, 03:27 PM

Wow! No mosquito problems when you fire that up.

SpudRider · 05-07-2012, 03:32 PM

We don't have mosquito problems during an Idaho winter.

However, the climate in British Columbia is much milder, and wetter.

Spud :P

My Dad scored the 'wheel kit' for summer use and with all the rain we've had in the Chicago area recently, I expect 'squitos with FAA numbers showing up soon.

I'll need all the help I can get before the beagle and the IGGY get sucked dry.

The engine is a 60cc Kawasaki.

Thought I would join in on this.

Here's my old car, a 1986 reliant Rialto. Was a brilliant little car, until I barrel rolled it going around a corner at 70mph, still managed to push it back over off of its roof and back on its wheels and drive it home though!

FastDoc · 05-25-2012, 03:30 PM

Neat!

Easy to see how it would barrel roll though.

Top Gear has a funny segment on the Reliant Robin, a similar car IIRC. So does Wheeler Dealers.

Those were my favorite shows back when I had T :roll:

Are you undergoing television withdrawal, Doc? :?:

dapp · 05-25-2012, 03:41 PM

Lol yeah top gear is brilliant!

Yeah the Rialto was basically the same car as the robin, just a different shape.
They're also a lot more stable than top gear made them out to be, was also quite nippy off the line, would leave most cars under a 1.3 for dust. It only had a 850cc engine, but its rear wheel drive and made of fibreglass, 3 of us used to be able to lift it off the ground to about chest hight!

SpudRider · 05-25-2012, 03:41 PM

Thanks for sharing the cool photo, Dapp.

Well I didn't think you'd see many across your side of the ocean!

FastDoc · 05-25-2012, 04:04 PM

Never seen one except on British TV.

Some withdrawal, but mild. Will be worse in wintertime. Summer I'm manic outside the house.

My drz on a ride through haldon forest after work this afternoon:

Martin The Cat is a good hunter.

I have ground squirrels (also locally called sage rats or sagebrush voles) digging up my back yard. My cats have been making short work of them.

What they don't get my .22 Henry rifle (with .22 Shorts, gotta be quiet in the new neighborhood :wink: ) and I have been getting.

I removed the screen from the kitchen window and use the window sill as a rest and pop those rat like bastards. :x

**cheesy** · 05-30-2012, 05:03 PM

Daughter, Son in Law, and myself did the Lake Pepin 3 Speed Tour a couple weekends ago. www.3speedtour.com Fifth time for me, third for Corky, first time for Jake.

Jake had a rude awaking, riding a bike can be tough. Especially if it's 95F and you are riding into the kind of winds that make you pedal downhill and gusts that stop you completely.

Anyway, here are a few pics.

Corky's Sports and My Superbe.

Jake, just before he dropped out with leg cramps.

Corky cresting the dreaded Bay City Hill, a 2.5 mile climb done on British 3 speeds.

Brewing tea on my setup

My only problem, a broken center stand.

And finally, Eat Cheese Or Die

I gotta tell, it was so hot that no one, and I mean no one, was imbibing in the special medicinal single malts(I prefer Laphroig)they keep in their flasks. Just ice cold water and lots of it.

Weldangrind · 05-31-2012, 01:20 AM

Mmmm... Laphroig. Peaty goodness.
