Signature quotes.

Post by Mouse »

Was doing some research on velocity stacks. Possible CBX application? :think: Not sure.
Anyway, google sent me to a SOHC/4 forum thread on the subject and I saw one of the contributors (Retro Rocket) had a quote that made me laugh :lol:

"If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem"

I might print that on a work shirt. :D

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle. ~Author Unknown

I have one I like. Is a summarized version of a Carroll Shelby quote.

"Horsepower sells, Torque wins"
