Hello, It's me. I'm in. Dave

Pugsley needs to post some new pictures and a little bit of the story from the 2014 build. There is definitely some excitement there regarding Cash. Nothing new has happened to Tango. I was out of work for about 6 months which put a huge damper on the ability to spend money on my build...

Well done.

Looks to meet like it already got powder coated.

Been working on the house all month. The only addition to Tango over the past 30 days is sawdust. Hope January is brings more bike building.

It's over ten feet above the floor. Read the instructions and reviewed the very limited specifications. Wouldn't even have these issues if the manufacturers would just list the rpms at each speed. But none of them do. Some show rpms at top speed and most just show how many CFMs they move -...

Awe come on. That's a cop out. Yvonne is worried about the idiot do-it-yourselfer who tries some gadget, electrocutes himself and burns the house down in the process. Then comes running after her with a gaggle of lawyers. This being xs650.com, I figured some of the inmates would surely be very...

Posting here because I have read more knowledgeable posts on electricity here than anywhere else. Purchased 2 Westinghouse 7861400 model fans. The limited information I can get off them on the web is here...

One of the best things about hanging out with your older brothers is.. ..you are bound to learn something. I am actually jumping ahead in the story a bit, but I'll back track later. One of the last things we did on Saturday evening before quitting the build was a little wheel work. I had...

So we get the measurements on the forks figured out and continue onto the dismantling of Tango. This next video captures the removal of everything remaining down to the raw frame. Sometime a month or so ago I purchased some parts off an inmate here at the 650 forum. I don't exactly recall what...

It was a big weekend for the Tango and Cash build. John and Frank drove down from Indy on Friday with Tango and some spare parts in the back of John's Toyota Hylander. Amazingly, Tango fit in comfortably sans fork and wheels. I took some stop action video of the weekend's projects. Hopefully...

Rocking, Sorry. Pugsley took the the front wheel home and will be using it on his build Cash this winter. Dave

I may have what you are looking for. I say may, because my brother will get first choice this weekend. Will stay in touch and contact you on the 24th with pictures. Excellent condition. Powder coated black. Dave

I know the school. It's been abandoned for at least 30 years. At this point, weren't you a little concerned that those guys were going to take you down, steal your cash, have their way and bury you like a John Wayne Gacy re-enactment?

Opened up my mailbox this morning to find a package I have been waiting for, for the past 40 days. Was happy that it arrived at all. Inside was this: Cotton Braided Wire. Ordered the wire on the 5th of October over the web. Hoped for it to be on hand for the originally planned...

John traded for Tango on March 10, 2013 and it was upon this date that the three of us got indoctrinated to xs650s. However, it still being winter in Indianapolis, John and Frank were finishing their first build – the '77 Honda 175. So Tango was parked in John's storage shed and the two of them...

A couple weekends ago I walked out to the garage. Tango's frame and engine are still taking up space in John's Indianapolis garage. All I have at my home outside Atlanta is the front end, headlight bucket, wheels and tank. Anxious to get started on something, I took the tank off the shelf and...

In. Tango on the day it was purchased. Not much story behind it. :wink2: Visit the build thread - http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30645

The next day John found the serial number and all three of us searched the internet to figure out what we had. It turns out it was a 1973 Yamaha TX 500 that had a long time ago been turned into a café racer. On the back fender of the bike was a signature and on the front, a dealer tag. We...

Two weeks into the World Record trip some guy got on the Pat Tillman Foundation website and said I was a piece of shit. He said that Pat Tillman didn't ride bikes and I was a fraud. At that point in time (about 14 days and 7,000 miles in) I was sore, tired, bored, scared and frankly a bit...
