Bring it to Maggie Valley?  WTF? ? ? ? ?
You make your first event in 2 years and the day the event starts you tell him to "Talks cheap. Bring it to Maggie Valley"?
How about Daytona, Biketoberfest?
I suspect other people are just as busy as you are and a little notice is always nice.
Just sayin, , , , , ,

Just sayin' what?  As for my absence, have you forgotten about my less than perfect Hip-Replacement?  Not to shame ya', but "Just sayin............furthermore, I know I'm less than cautious on a Motorsickle when I'm Sober, but me on a Motorsickle takin' narcotics, is a bad wreck waitin' to happen.  Not to shame ya', but "Just sayin'.......................add to that, I ain't goin' to Biketoberfest.  That guy challenged me.  Ol' Maudie don't need no notice.  If one wants to see how she runs, come see.  Not bein' a smarta$$, "Just sayin'.................BTW, was great to see you and Nancy.  Had a Blast!  My only regret is I didn't get the opportunity to bust your a$$!  Grateful to be back in the Saddle, and have Great Friends like you and Nancy!  See ya'll next time.  Later--HUBBARD

That guy challenged me. DUH, So I guess if you race it's going to be on your terms and at your convenience. So you only want to run wide open? I'm sure Mr. Sachs can arrange a meeting like that.


Ol' Maudie don't need no notice.  If one wants to see how she runs, come see.  Not bein' a smarta$$, "Just sayin'.................


BTW, was great to see you and Nancy. Likewise Carl!


   Had a Blast!  My only regret is I didn't get the opportunity to bust your a$$!

Ol' Maudie don't need no notice.

Candy Ass I say. We all know you make your own opportunities. If you wanted to run my 44K mile 09 SEUC, you should have mentioned it.

Ol' Maudie My 09 SEUC don't need no notice either.

I know how to hold that bike wide open also, that ability is nothing exclusive that only you have a corner on the market.
I put a 1000 miles on the bike this weekend and a few more above a 100 could have been yours if you hadn't been so bashful.




   Grateful to be back in the Saddle, and have Great Friends like you and Nancy! You, Kenny and Otis are always welcome at the SBB Inn when your in the area.  See ya'll next time.   Later--HUBBARD

Had a Blast!  My only regret is I didn't get the opportunity to bust your a$$!

I have no regrets. We had a blast this weekend and made many new friends. Next time we meet lets just air them out and get it over with. I'm out here just living the dream and hate it  when my friends have regrets. I will be there for you. Let me know when you can fit me in your busy schedule. I'll even send John Sachs a pm and see if he can fit us in also! As I said, I'm here for you!

HEY
Maude the trailer queen has seen better days.
In the twisties, at the drag strip or wide open the 09 SEUC don't care.
The 09 SEUC is not a "Prima Donna" like Maude, at 44K miles the 09 SEUC has seen it all.
And not from the inside of some cute little trailer.
No regrets there!

Is this thread lost?  I'm interested in the 120 or a new build and have issues with dealers here in the UK let alone crossed pee swords at dawn from guys that know better. 

To each his own, can we get back to the thread or is this done?

I guess you guys actually could add value or can you?

Cheers

Blah, Blah, Blah.  Maudie's tail lights and 114 fumes.   Just like the last time.  Later--HUBBARD

Thread is in tact, just some of its Members stray from time to time.  You're right, lastdegree.  I apologize for my bullchitting.  Neal Taylor at Tilley's HD, in Statesville, NC, built my Zipper's 120.  Don Tilley mentored Neal, and he is one of the best, IMO.  Mine is built from the Original 88.  No problems, 22K on the build.  Runs like a scalded dog.  It has been abused, too.  Good luck.  Later--HUBBARD

The 120 Jims in my Frontier was built with Tman Performance parts.
140/141 and very dependable.
The bike surrounding the motor wasn't built as well as the motor.
But that's another story and don't want lastdegree getting upset if I was to explain it.

That's better.   

OK, real world situation:  Do I have a US builder scratch build a motor and sent it over?  Or do I trust someone here in the UK?

That's a question only you can answer.
It's like what is better, a blue bike or a silver bike or a red one.

Or do I trust someone here in the UK?

Sooner or later you have to trust someone over there if you can't do the work yourself.
You can have it built here and shipped there but how do you deal with followup and warranty work, because there will be none.
A motor like your speaking of is an approx 10K investment that can be the greatest thing or the biggest POS you ever wasted money on.
If you don't have someone you can trust I'd pass on the entire deal.

Decisions, decisions.  I'm sure there are some reptuable Engine Builders in the UK, but unknown to me.  I do know Don Tilley, and his reputation precedes him.  Whomever you choose to build, I would suggest the same Builder from start to finish.  Personally, I've always built the original Motor.  Good Luck.  Later--HUBBARD

The Ultima Evo 120's, tap on the 150 ft/lb door with a Wood 9B. FWIW.

beware of having a custom built engine sent over the pond. As likely as not there will be issues and nobody will feel obliged to adress them properly.

Find yourself a trustworthy dealer in EU and get the best he may offer you. Over the time reliablility and local service weigh more than 10 hp surplus if you want to ride your bike on the real road and not only display it for show.

[lastdegree]

Good advice.  Like the idea of a ground-up build if I can be persuaded to someone local or close to me or a JIMS 131 fitted by the dealer.  Will make some enquiries and update you all.

[FXDRYDR]

Wow!!  Some good info here and some big talk too...

Not only is John Sachs one of the best engine builders / head porters in the country, he's a hell of a nice guy and his builds deliver.  He's also an experienced racer.  I'd love to get in on a piece of this - and make the trip to watch the show too. 

An internet commando on another board I hit sometimes also runs his mouth about his hotrod metric build - a Warrior.  He had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sachs on his bagger one evening and had his azz handed to him pretty badly.  Credit where it's due, as he had the ballz to post up about "some old guy named Sachs or something handing him his azz on the fastest Harley he'd ever seen..."  LOL!!  If this actually plays out, we'll see the same story but I kinda doubt we'll see it.
