Warming Up "Big Yella" ...

  • July 24, 2012 12:33 PM PDT
    I did a quick service on it, primed the water system up to 30psi, sneezed in the tyres and did oils etc ready for a rideout tomorrow..."Big Yella" may look like a fancy show trike...but its a sleeper, a wolf in sheeps clothing, this was a warm up session after the service...It had old dead fuel in but hey, it just dont care, it still does its job...lol... This is the first time I ever allowed it to be filmed to go on You Tube...I use it for street racing and so I dont want people knowing how quick it is...

    So shhhhh, dont tell anyone ok?

    I did a quick service on it, primed the water system up to 30psi - What is "priming" a water system? - Water injection or a cooling system?

    Its the high pressure cooling system matey...lol...its a modification I made to carry less weight and volume of water and yet give maximum cooling ... it sure works though, I can do a couple of sprint races (Cash Only), before having to pressure it up again...lol...

    I do that with my pick-em-up truck too...lol...body kit on a truck...lol... but no-one knows whats under the hood...

    Never brag about your fast rides to people you see out and about, as far as they are concerned my trike is a shiny show trike...lol...
    As far as anyone is concerned my truck is just lowered a bit, its still quiet on idle and low revs...sleeeeeeeper!!!

    I dont mind sharing this info with you guys as hey, I wont be racing any of you anytime soon.....Or Will I? Hmmmmm, ya never know do ya? I may just kind of arrive in a town near you and listen to who is doing all the bragging about their rides...lol...Then I Will Nail Them!!! Muahahahaaaaa!!!

    Yeah Jet, that's about as subtle as you can possibly get! lol Don't take this the wrong way, but from what I read and see from you, your one crazy mf. lol Keep up the good work dude.

    Ah yes but Rollon, You actually have to meet me to see how I do my stuff to get to call me crazy.....oh sure...crazy sure as hell fits me though...lol...

    In the bit of video up there I was just warming her up, even the sharp launch was not on full power, I dont do full power until it reaches at least 95 degrees...

    I will do a run with a video camera on my head so you can see what I see around my area as I roll, camera usually ends up a bit tilted though...lol...so you may have to watch it with your head tilted sideways...lol...

    Sometime over the weekend if I get time to just go and play...

    Yes.....Rigid mounted via forward engine mounts and gearbox with additional rigidity from my a$$ when I clench on launch...lol...
