Stick with your fours, KLX, I called Bombardier,
that's what's still in their Seadoos, for now.

So who counts them, eh?

Dunno, I'm personally limited to one calculation every eight million seconds :? .

Catch a wave mate.
Next one's yours .
And stop thinking about Chamberpuss.
She ain't that scary.

They also make Learjets and high speed electric trains, I believe, so they bring considerable technical resources to the "recreational vehicle" table. Another opportuntiy for Virgin Surf slips through orffone’s fingers :roll: http://pic1.picturetrail.com/VOL1168/3883111/9609157/165804422.jpg Our No...

They also make Learjets and high speed electric trains, I believe, so they bring considerable technical resources to the "recreational vehicle" table. I've always liked the elegant simplicity of 2 cycle outboards, so i remain very interested in what they're doing. This injection technology originate...

Coupla things, KLX; scavenging is done with only air(not air/fuel mix); and since there's no fuel in crankcase to wash away oil, they can get away with minuscule amounts from a dedicated oil supply line to the crankshaft bearings. Bombardier describes their engine as "an extremely simple mechanism c...

I'm for that, I mean, against it.

2's are maintenance intensive, but that said, they are very easy to maintain. 4's tend to be far more reliable... but when something goes wrong it will be more time consuming and expensive to fix generally. The first part of your statement sounds contradictory, but it's true. You sound like you've ...

Hi Brenno, I've been twice. Got an uncle who's been living there for 25 years. It's gotten WAY more crowded in the last ten years, like everywhere else. Still, ticos are friendly, especially on the west coast, and the country is 'surfer friendly,' the girls are too. East coast(Caribbean) is more ske...

Thin ice, Kanine, thin ice. :?

2 strokes are better if u get rolled :arrow: I would think so, no crankcase oil. Bombardier, a Canadian company, is putting out a really interesting new 2 stroke, the E-Tech: low emmissions, great fuel economy, robust, lightweight, relatively simple compared to 4 strokes. It may already be in their...

Try doing the 'confident paddle' and say to 'em, "My turn," making sure you're taking off deep(respect). If ya can't take off deep, well, you haven't got a leg to stand on, as it were, and get yourself a mal or a booger or move down the beach. If they've already gotten waves and you haven't, they sh...

so surfboards are gunna start being mass produced, with different "models" every year instead of all customs, yes ? As e-ric says, it's already happening. Burton likely will accelerate it and, I believe, refine the process/ product. Always, hopefully, room for local, tailored, unique, and/or upper ...

Yeah, Ric, a lot of this has been discussed after Clarkfoam shut down. You may recall I reckoned board prices would actually COME DOWN in the not too distant future: China, Thailand, Mexico, Bic, GSI... My local shaper is getting boards from China now practically cheaper than he can build them (espe...

Bet we're going to see some radical new technologies soon, Burton buys CI:

perfect business model for Maddie and NickNack?

Gonna give my vote to Clif, for upbeat attitude.
Kept his stoke and mojo and good humour intact whilst his eyeball dangled by an optic nerve.

Not as funny as losing one's testicles, mind you. (that clip was hilarious, tootr Poor castrato, though )

Meataxe, I'm not Sharky :twisted: Or, am I? :shock: :lol: post a pic of YOUR pins then - and you wonder why theres no girls. i gave up. Can't say as I blame ya, srfrgrrl. But if you recall I never doubted ya from the start. Your pins are stunning in a sexy, girlish, cute, innocent way :wink: ; wher...
