hello all back from the dead almost

[aaxiss]

Been almost a couple years since I've been on the forums and just wanted to stop in and say hello to everyone still very happy with my powertig 250ex and my MTS 200 almost bought a plasma cutter last week but got a cheapo ebay unit as all I really need it for is cutting sheet .125 and occasionally up to .250 and the little 50A $200 ebay cutter works very good with my cnc table I made from a project I copied from instructables.com total cost just over $1500 for a 8x4 table. been building custom trailer frames for the teardrop trailer community here in socal off and on and doing some custom full tube chassis long travel suspension golf carts, most get 750cc or bigger motorcycle engines.

Kinda been out of commision for the last 6 months, got gangrene of my large intestine and had to have half removed....

Well that didn't work for long so they are removing the rest of my large intestine Wednesday morning. Good thing is I'll be able to eat whatever I want without gaining weight. My Dr seems to think that I will have to do about 5 to 6 thousand calories a day just to maintain my weight. Anyhow I've got an old laptop with a bunch of pictures of the projects I've been doing lately (last year) and post them with some of the materials lists and demensions. Someone may find something useful or at least spark an idea in that direction. The halo warthog hayabusa powered golf cart Is one you guys should like alot. Ah.... my morphine pump just reset time for a squirt and a nap, ill check back later.

I'll try to have someone stop by my place and grab my laptop so i can get access to my pictures, Before i go under the knife lol.

Cheers all
Don

Don, sorry to hear about the medical stuff. Sounds like trailers and golf carts are keeping you busy, though, we'd love to see the pics! 750cc on a golf cart... do they race them, or something?!

Hey Don. Good to hear from you again. I've really missed your posts. I've been mostly lurking on the forum for many months. Definitely check back with us after your operation. I'd love to see your projects - they sound very interesting. Cheers.

Yea my last two carts were powered by a ducati 90 degree 750 twin and a 2 stroke rotax twin.mi have one crappy pic of it I think. These are dune terrors. They balance out really well and eith 18 inches of travel they jump awesome.

Next one is going to be mine 1300cc turbo kawasaki hayabusa engine. I just finished the rear cassette (solid center drive assembly) which will allow me to use porsche 930 cv's and stub axles (independent rear suspension) . Putting a pingle electric shifter on it with formula one paddle type shifters repurposed for throttle and breaks. And thumb buttons on both sides to shift. And a high speed actuator for the clutch for stops and starts only. Cant wait to get this built... 150ft long roosts cresting a dune are athing of beauty lol.

Hmmm cant upload from my tablet for some reason. Anyway im nervous as hell right now surgery 16 hours away plus they been shooting me (well the machine is) with 4mg dilaudid in my central line every 4 hours for pain. The thin is gi` nowby

Welcome back Don,

Yea, sorry to here about the health hit. Was the CNC table a good table? Any links to it.

We were looking at a 40HP 4 stroke for our cart. $400 range, but did not bite the bullet yet. Other items needed, starter conversion, etc.
