My old bike, it was fun. Anyone know where it at? As for the battery placement, it works/worked just fine.

I saw this, just thought I'd pass it on.

I found this on the Internet, very interesting http://www.gao.gov/assets/500/499077.pdf B-238436.3, Jun 4, 1990, 90-1 CPD 528 B-238436.3, Jun 4, 1990 Summary | View Decision Additional Materials: Protest concerning the responsiveness of the proposed awardee's bid is dismissed as untimely when filed ...

A Swedish couple doing the Route 66 tour from Chicago to Santa Monica on a 1950 Universal broke down here in Barstow. See Universal: http://www.classicbikersclub.com/files/imagecache/node-gallery-display/univ.jpg They needed a new clutch, I told Emilio he needed a diesel engine also, I think I sold ...

I just bought this, a September 1954 issue of Motor Cycle Magazine with an article about a Norton Diesel! see:

If someone could post a photo.

It is said it's a three cylinder, and the engine cover on the picture has the letters TDI on it. But I can't identify the concrete engine used. Usually a TDI has to be from Volkswagen. I can see the engine is a Briggs/Daihatsu 950 turbo diesel. The same as I put in my Harley back in 2005, also Terr...

Been wondering if I can import a wrecked diesel smart into US from Canada as a parts car ?

I think the Briggs Diesel would still be a better choice here in the States. Diesel Smart engines are not as common. How are you doing with your Tiger George?

Dave

Very Cool, I'll look for the issue and buy a copy or two, I like the term "Diesel Chopper". I'd like to see Diesel Chopper or Diesel Biker Magazine someday.

Your not nuts at all, I put a centrifugal clutch in my Honda, one speed. I think there are a couple of car engines with torque converters, there's that Deutz Diesel bike somewhere in the Dieselbike.net archives with that configuration.

Your not nuts, your thinking, good at you!

Dave

Just spotted this, very nice Diesel bike, don't know if this has already been posted.

I have a used Briggs Daihatsu 950T, it had 600 hours before it cracked a Piston. I pulled the head and the piston had a crack caused by the factory stamped Arrow, causing excessive blow-by, so with a piston and a gasket set, you could have a $4500 diesel engine. I also have another Turbo head, a bun...

Hello all, I've decided to sell my Diesel Dnepr, so I'll post here first. $5,000obo This started out as a Russian Dnepr/KMZ Model 8.157 Solo. The Hatz engine runs as new, maybe 30 thousand motorcycle miles, the motorcycle chassis has about 5,000 trouble free miles, final Drive is tight an free of le...

George,

I'm happy for you, you have been working on getting a diesel bike on the road since we first talked back in 2006.

Good luck,
Your friend,
Dave

Good for you, I'm very happy for you. That's very KQQL!

George, I put the fuel tank that came with the Ruggerini RD211 on the right side near the seat. http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/36589379@N ... 4/sizes/m/

She runs so damn nice, I've put close to 400 miles on her in the last 4 days. Thanks for all the nice complements.

Dave

After selling Chevy43 my last Dnepr, I built another. This was built from a Dnepr 8.157 Solo. Has higher third and forth gears and with the 3.89 she will run 59-62mph @ 2900-3060rpm. She is for sale.

Things are on hold for the truck for now. I'm finding out how very rare this truck is. I'm doing research an I just received the Line Ticket (build sheet) for the truck. I would like and looking for a 6bt, 94-98 12 valve w/p7100 injection pump. I really think a 4bt would be more practical. As for th...

Very cool, I just adore old trucks. For the Cummins info, check out the TDR website. The Turbo Diesel Register is the spot for Cummins info. Thanks, as for old trucks, I volunteer at the Heidrick Ag and the Hays truck museum here in Town. http://www.aghistory.org/ They have really rare and neat toy...

This is what Route 66 magazine or Pixar is selling off as the truck in question.
See: http://rwarn17588.wordpress.com/2006/11 ... /#com-head

Does anyone have ideas how I can use my little truck to promote our diesel motorcycles?

I'm having so much fun,
Dave

Her name is Jeannie, and I'm in love.

Im not selling my bikes, i like them to, but I have a new Diesel project, I bought the Essex Tow truck. The truck was built in Los Angeles in 1957, spent it's whole life up and down old route 66 from 10 miles west of Needles, CA to Ludlow, CA. It is a Lambert Tow truck, the only one left known to ex...

I used a larger version of the Noram Clutch on my Honda-Ruggerini. I'm sold on the CVT now.

A good machine shop should be able to turn and broach a shaft in about a half hour of labor and cost of materials. I have my shafts machined out of high chromium steel.
