I know I haven't posted here since I sold my Tahiti, but this thread I found is of epic proportions :D

http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=226570

The down and dirty. Gentlemans GSXR is running like crap, so he runs into the local gas station buys two bottles of NOS Ocane booster, and pours them into his fuel tank. He makes it 10 miles before his bike craps out completely. Later on he discovers it was not NOS octane booster he put in his tank, but NOS ENERGY drink :D

Enjoy :D

The official word is the Tahiti is SOLD  ;D


Thank You all for looking, and those of you that have called me. I look forward to meeting Kohensdad, to complete the transaction.

OK from tip of the pump to tip of the trailer 28' x 8' wide x 5' tall. As for the weight I have no idea, any one out there that can help us with a rough weight? I am guessing around 2,000 pounds or less.

The No Wake Zone / Re: Rookie anchor advise
« on: June 13, 2008, 11:49:47 AM »
Normaly I can back my trailer up to the water. So on the bow, I have 10' rope with a clasp sewn into it, that I latch up to. Then off the stern I use a basic anchor with chain and bungee rope. :D

One  trip I got lazy, and didn't rope it up, just beached the Tahiti. Next morning when I woke up my Tahiti was missing! Luckly we were in a cove, and it had floated down about 50 feet from me. Learned my lesson that night.

The No Wake Zone / Re: Boat trailer towed ???????
« on: May 29, 2008, 12:23:49 PM »
yes it does, and chp guy asked me for the # gave it to him

you should get a hold of the tow yard, and clear things up. No they can not go after your credit, but they can flag it to DMV and prevent you from re-newing your registration. This happened to my father many years ago, when an impound yard wrote down a license plate number wrong. Impound was swearing that my fathers Buick hoopty was in impound, when the license plate belonged to my fathers Porsche 912  :screwy:

The market suks, gas prices suk, and I woke up in a grumpy mood.  >:(  I'd say about $2,800. Looks like San Antonio in the background.  :P

hope you feel better, and yes that is San Antonio in the back ground. :D If it makes any difference, Oldriggers dad rigged it. :D

The No Wake Zone / if you let some drive your boat
« on: May 03, 2008, 09:31:16 AM »
do you give them the full saftey course first? I have let two people drive the Tahiti, and both times I gave them a full list of saftey instructions. (wife being one of them). And only my wife attempted to swamp the tahiti, she got off the throttle, and forget to feather the throttle, untill she looked back and saw the wall of water coming.

I remember back in HS down at San Antonio, a friend of mine borrowed another friends v drive Sanger. No instructions, no nothin. Any ways I was on the beach waiting for him to show up with the Sanger, and he decided to show off a little with some high speed passes. Well on one of those passes he hit a wake, while playing with the trim plates, and litteraly stood that Sanger on its tail. He had to change his swim trunks when he came in, and I wouldn't ride with him in it LOL.

« on: April 10, 2008, 08:42:05 PM »
lets see which one

1st back high school I had a 23 window ragtop bus. It was lowered, IRS axle, wicked engine, etc, etc. Anyways it was time for its annual head torqueing. Block one front wheel, put her up on jack stands, and grab my creeper. Well I started to torque the left cyl head it started to roll forward. Before I could get out from under it, it hopped the brick. The muffler land on chest, and put nice bruise on my chin as it continued its trip over me. I thought for sure it was going to crush me.

2nd time, I will most likely get flamed for this. I had a Toyota Celica, and so did a stoner friend of mine. We get in an argument about whos Celica is faster, and we decide to drag race, on a public street, about 11:00 PM, residential area. Anyways I am in the left lane, him right, the light turns, I get the jump on him, and plus I am just plane faster. Well he gets mad, and clips the rear corner of my car I go sliding at about 80 mph, correct the car just in time to plow a parked car head on, sending the parked car 3 houses down. Don't know how but I walked away from that with out a scratch. Not one of my proudest moments in life.

POS 2000 F-body, open exhaust no muffler


My commuter bike at 30 MPG 79 Daytona Special


and just to prove Miatas are the best sports car out there. I auto crossed my 1989 (thats right 89) MX5 R spec from the Mazda(no AC, no PS, no power anything) for 5 years. In the last year it had 10 pounds compression in #4 and 40 pounds in #3, and I still took 3rd place over CSP class. Sold it to my brother who gave it too his kid, and he drove it for another 3 years with that effed up engine. :D My brother tore apart the engine, all the piston rings were broke, and it 3 burnt valves, and passed smog 3 weeks prior LOL.

some day I will own another, but this time turbo charged running 18psi :D
