I'm sorry James, but she looks like she's having more fun in the Ghia than in that 4.3 you talk about:

This looks like your grin, not hers:



So what's this "thing" you talk about. Is it legal?

That narrows it down.

It's either:

A) a custom "Rotor Head" shift ****

B) a 12A rotor housing

C) a "cast" souvenir statue of Donald Trump from the 1990 Trump Taj Mahal opening (plastic electroplate)

Raul's FB is practically the same as yours, another pristine 85 GS FB, no fancy Democratic sunroof on this unit.

And it’s seriously molested just like yours! It’s beautiful inside and out.


Thanks Ray. I would like to see it.
But I'll be out to visit my dad in California (also the ancestral home of my 1985 GS!)

Ray, its a 12A coffee table. I don't know if you drink coffee, but I'm sure you have a living room in need of some rotary love.

I'm definitely planning on being there Ray. Hopefully I get a new muffler before then. Need to tame the drone from the current muffler.

Or a presilencer if your current muffler doesn't have any issues other than noise.

When you go to the header and eliminate the cats it helps to have some muffling in that area.

Especially with the porting.

Does anybody have a spare presilencer sitting around they can help Raul with?

Trump is on steroids.

His finger is on the button.

We are in big trouble.

I won't be able to attend with the virus still rampaging.

Thats the ubiquity of micro organisms for you.

I gotta say it was a smoother than normal drive. Strange usually there is some guy cruising in the left lane... not one jerk this time. I'm impressed.

It's not the ubiquity of microorganisms I'm worried about James.

It's the stupidity of the Trump administration.

I'm glad the ride home was smooth.

I gotta say one upside of the pandemic is less traffic on I85.

Some compensation, I suppose, for the 200,000+ Americans lost due to Trump's incompetence.

Sorry to miss the meeting, but I'm 68 years old, the virus could kill me.

I was looking forward to it, with you and Raul there I'm sure it was special.

But when Trump ripped off his mask Monday night, I got the message.

Let me ask, was anyone at the October 6 OGTA meeting wearing a mask?

I didn't think so.

I hope someone got some pics and will post and I do have a question.

You say this is a coffee table. I take your word for that and I've studied the design.



But I don't get it, where does the coffee come out?

My wife and I were equipped with masks... Though I didn't bear it whilst talking with folk at the meet; as I just want to be a sheep now a days. I keep on on hand for those who feel uncomfortable if I don't have one on.

You have to spin it REAL fast to get the coffee out of it. 8k rpms should do the trick.

You mean the coffee comes out the exhaust port once you get it running just right?



Anybody going to the November 3 OGTA Meet?

PS, nice pics.
