Community Build Post Awesomeness

The build was great, even though its a week later but life keeps me busy so here it is. The build was as awesome if not awesomer then I thought it was going to be. Basically there was some awesome builds going on, mods being performed, and general tom foolery going on.

Quarter Kick was great enough to provide parts for me E50 build that I did not have and was able to use Chad's tools that I did not have and sorely needed. As for the actual work, there were plenty of experienced people there willing to throw a hand in to help every now and then. Questions were answered and general awesomeness ensued.

Food was awesome, Poor Richard's has probably the best breakfast menu ever created in man's history with everything from steak and eggs to chili omelets. Last day we ate at Martini's which had awesome food and beer. I randomly got Matilda from Goose Island Brewery there and fell in love with it, best beer this year that I tasted.

Oh raffle was great too! Won a pipe and after some horse trading got $60 and a 70cc Kstar reed kit. Didn't win the Puch Cobra :(

Here's some pictures:

Chad Burke's Community Build pre-awesomeness

If you play with anything that has 2 wheels, pedals, a motor, and live around the Fortress known as "Michigan," or have the means to make a pilgrimage to the Moped Mecca of the world or as it's known to the locals "Kalamazoo, home of Bell's brewery and some other stuff." Then you are in for a treat, okay I haven't been to the 1st one last year but around 20 people showed up to it, which was the 1st time, and now Facebook has over 80 people confirmed. So I'm guessing this is going to be the biggest Moped event where a ride isn't going to happen and there will be 1150% more beer and/or booze.(I plan on doing more because I plan on staying for the slumber party, w00t no driving home!)

When I heard of this I was thinking to myself that this will be awesome, get some help on a engine build, get away from home, drink copious amounts of beer, and maybe smoke(not weed, well at least not me). Now I hope to maybe help people out with my skills, weld shit up, give people bad advise, and learn something about albino hamsters.

How could this suck? It won't.

PS bring me a beer

PPS bring me another one

PPPS just bring me a 6 pack instead

PPPPS hell just bring a keg

Keep wrenching,

Rusty Tanks

They suck...

I used vinegar, this didn't suck...

I also used pennies, which failed, therefor sucked...

Anyways if you have a tank, plug it up, pick your poison, and keep a eye on it. I'd also recommend using steel shot or BBs, either that or just nuts(as nuts and bolts). Pretty strait forward, chemically mill away and further mill the chunks off with nuts. Pennies just slosh around and don't do a whole lot.

Also, don't keep your petcock in, get a rubber stopper(s) or use other ways to close it up tight, like a dolphin's butt, water tight!
