tig is fun. ( friend has a setup ive used in the past. ) my welds always looked like hammered sh*t though lmao.
Aaron

going into week 2 missing my dog. she ran off. 14+yo but in no signs of discomfort. hoping someone took her in.
Aaron

I'd love to try my hand at TIG... maybe one day. My welds all look like crap...

Sad news on the dog Yama! Hope she either is healthy and happy somewhere or preferably comes back home soon...

I finally spent some time last night mocking up the Kat colour scheme... been threatening to do this for a while. I'm not good at this, but a little imagination should give you an idea... the engine will be black is the main difference and this is a photo I found on the interwebs, so the red on the frame isn't quite right compared with the seat colour.

Mock Up 1 by starpoint73, on Flickr

without thinking morbidly, ive not seen any vultures in the area around my property (7.5ac) so im holding on to that someone took her in. NOW on to your kat eh? takke this as an idea ( or what i would consider if it were my project) take the red from the american kit kat wrapper, a DARK brown for engine and frame perhaps, and have 2 tank decals printed saying nothing more than kit kat. or substitute the off white version of said wrapper. sure youd be riding a candy bar with tires but why not? lol. i could probably run that throughbphotochop to give some idea.
heck i need a new photochop challenge anyways. last one i recall was when we as a site ran pablo through the photochop wringer lol. sadly most of those were on the uploadit.org site :"(
Aaron

? ? ? 

do a conceptual picture of what his bike might look like
Aaron

I'm thinking out loud here. . .

kk lol.
Aaron
i had erased the actual photo of the cub from the tablet. just now found it on this phone. transferred via bt to the tablet again. will post it shortly.

Hahahahaha... kit kats don't really work with my low carb high fat diet... so I might pass on that one 

i might just photochop it anyways, make sure im not TOO rusty lol. also take that gs pic and john deere it. that was a plan for that 97 i had. paint tank jd green, and the wheels jd yellow. and put their decal in place of suzuki. out run a carf and then ask " how did it feel to get passed by a john deere? lol. ( this never happened YET.)

Lawn mower wars! 

once im able to get the thing, may "mod" the exhaust. cause the valve cover sits directly over the muffler. thinking of finding  2 flanges that fit. and have 2 seperate mufflers with a crossover pipe. ( 20hp kohler courage engine) still at least a month away from rounding up funds to get it. selling off what i can spare to make it happen. if the otherone is still running when i acquire this one, ill keep it as a spare. cub has new tires on front, plus a new battery. so fwiw, to me its worth the 500 asking price. he is the original owner of it.
Aaron
Here's the plan after im able to acquire the cub. Going to finish thebknee scooter build. Going to get 3 of these

Ooooh he's going to go all fancy shmancy!!! 

I hope my 450 solo seat is done soon... the foam I used on the one on there now is all but collapsed... did an over 400km round trip down to near Ballina and back yesterday and my arse is still sore from it 

that happens. keep the anti-monkeybutt powder in the toolbag Eh?
Aaron
p.s. i had thought about going with 52 spoke wire wheels. but those are pricy. so 12 spoke wheels will work. just figured out i cant use front wheels. have to use 3 rear wheels.

Realised I had no clue as to what a knee scooter was so I googled it... cool! Much handier than a set of crutches 

this is true. lol. made by a company called "knee_rover" alot easier to maneuver vs a wheelchair too. although a wheelchair turns far sharper. my home isnt on one level. a step up here or down there, anyways converted this one to sit down use. ( using mtb seatpost and one of those weird schwinn bicycle seats that puts no pressure into or on the nether  regions lol.
Aaron

Haha nice! So does it become and arse scooter then? 

in more ways than one. sadly. if i blow the turn on my stump side, i end up on it, or if i go too fast down  a ramp backwards then brake too harshly same thing.  lmao. ive not repeated those incidences .
Aaron

Hmmmm, if not wires, maybe this? 3 of them

Would this work with whitewalls?, might as well set goals after the mower acquisition to finish the rolling stock buildup on the arse scooter
Aaron

Roll them bad boys!
