I just can't help myself, i had to revive this thread from the dead. Barnett, you cheeky , this is the greatest troll job I've ever seen. As an extremely petty person, I love the fact that you traveled to a race incognito ( I'm picturing a fake mustache and dark sunglasses) to take pics and video of the legend in his own mind, Oscar Mayer. Barnett, I don't know where you are or if you'll ever see this, but great job man. If we ever cross paths I will buy you a beer
Looking for a Bassani silencer for a 2nd gen tecate, the style with the movable mount. 1st gen will work
That is funny. I just happened to look at this site for the first time in a couple months, which Mike said his cyber stalkers will probably try to verify because it somehow makes them happy, and saw this post. I am at his place now helping him unload a bike because he smashed some ribs while practicing at Elsinore last week. Here is his reply which he refused to post directly himself because he told me that the 3ww "authorities" won't let him, lol.
"LMFAO...gone but not forgotten. This is hilarious.
As I mentioned earlier, I originally had no idea that was "The Great Wiener" himself, but if I had known, my comments would likely have been slightly more "colorful". Unfortunately for some here, they learned about The Great Wiener the hard way.
Anyway, thanks for bringing this post back. I had forgotten all about it, and it brings back some very amusing memories for me! I have never laughed as hard elsewhere as I have on this site.
PS - I'm not dead just yet!"

Bust ribs from practicing at Elsinore? Barns??? Na, he’s too good of a rider for that to have happened. Sounds more like an auto-erotic mishap of some sort.
It sucks to get old

"Hi Knappy, I would have been more than happy to "hook you up" until I found out that you are buying the bikes I want.
Actually, as far as the KZ police bikes go, I have only seen 3 out of around 300 police bikes, so they are as rare as hen's teeth. The crown vic pi's dried up over a year ago, and if there is one at an auction now and it is nice, you would need to refi your house to buy it. All the honda police bikes are gone now as well, and all the cali departments are buying bmw's, so that is all that will be available from them in the future. Some of the highway patrol divisions have harleys, but they told me they send them to their main headquarters in northern cal when they are done with them.
I am soooo lucky to have ridden that wave as long as it lasted, and I had to switch gears around a year ago and get into something else, so I am now buying and selling various types of street bikes, but no sport bikes. I look for ones that have low miles and are clean but need tires and batteries and the carbs rebuilt and have a ton of back fees etc, because i can deal with all that, and there are fewer buyers for them, and they are often priced reasonably, or the seller is willing to deal. I have sold around 10 bikes in just the last 90 days, and probably over 50 in the last year. I still have around 22 bikes at the moment.
I also bought some late model dirt bikes to rent out, and also offer rider training, but I need to get my business name to appear on google when people do a search for "dirt bike rental" etc, to be able to get a lot more business, but I really like doing that because it is soooo easy, lol.
Anyway, glad you are doing well, and if you ever decide to dump that old beat up red chevy you have, I might take it off your hands for you!

"I wish it was caused from inappropriately using some sort of electric pleasure device, or from plugging a magic fingers bed into a 220 socket to try to "enhance" the vibration, but yup, I slammed myself into the ground...BUT WAIT...I have an excuse, (in addition to the fact that I'm lame)!
It happened 2 Sundays ago. I went over one jump several times during one session, then I stopped riding that track for around 30 minutes. When I went back onto that track, I stupidly did not take my usual sight lap, because I didn't think the track had changed that much in that short amount of time, but I was friggen WRONG. During my first session on that track, the landing after that jump was moist and tacky, and one had to slam on the brakes hard immediately upon landing so as to not over shoot the turn. Well, when I went out the second time, the track in that spot was dry as a bone and hard as a rock with a dark blue groove that had a very light coating of sand on it, so when I slammed on the front brake, the bars instantly went full lock and it high sided me extremely hard over the bars, but I will live to do something else stupid once again.
I was hoping to be able to race this Sunday and went out last Sunday to see if I could ride, and I came back in after slowly going a whopping 100 feet on the track, and my ribs aren't any better yet, which is really no surprise to me...duh, but I just had to try cuz I am so fkng pissed off at myself for being so fkng stupid, lol."
On a side note, what did you ever do with the Tri Z engine you made look so killer?
