Saṃsāra or Sangsara: a Sanskrit[1] and Pāli term which translates as "continuous movement" or "continuous flowing", which, in Buddhism, refers to the concept of a cycle of birth (jāti), and consequent decay and death (jarāmaraṇa), in which all beings in the universe participate, and which can only be escaped through enlightenment. Saṃsāra is associated with suffering (or dukkha) and is generally considered the antithesis of Nirvāṇa (Sanskrit) or nibbāna (Pali). Mongolian: orchilong.
Buddha's view of Saṃsāra
According to the Buddha, the beginning point of Saṃsāra is not evident, just as there is no beginning point to a circle. All beings have been suffering in Saṃsāra for an unimaginable period, and they continue to do so until the attainment of Nirvana.

Thanks guys.
Yeah she is a totally different bike. I really wanted a builders bike if that makes sense. Not everyone is going to like it but the ones who understand what went into making it will atleast appreciate it ;D. Damn thing has kicked my ass (and jason's) all over the place but in the end I know it'll be worth it.
Big R I ran back out to the garage and tilted the tail light back up. Didn't even notice. thanks man. Hahahaha, About that kick stand.... Hahahaha, Late night decision made a few nights ago to add one later....One of the main reasons I didn't do a powder frame. A block of wood is going to be a PITA though so it might be added sooner than later.
No name yet Staffy and have no clue what to name it. I think we may try at the GTT but I'm open for ideas.
Alright Cresent I just saw your post as I hit preview. I knew you could help name this thing you poetic SOB ;D ;D ;D ;D I love you man!
Cool names for sure. Have to think about it. Got any more ideas?

Resurgence: A continuing after interruption; a renewal.
Maybe something more cyclic, revolutionary, that ties in the cicrcle of life theme. Like a continuum.
Or something that speaks to the fact that the bike has been refined and distilled to bring out the best.
Still needs to have some balls though...

Re: beat the clock RIP 07.14.2010
Thanks guys....I'm so stoked about this thing its not even funny. Plan was to try to have the wiring done today but did a 4 hr (rnd trip) to pick up a bike for Miles. kept telling my self I was going to stay focused on my little girl but having a new baby in the garge proved to be too tempting... Now its going to be a late night...

Re: beat the clock RIP 07.14.2010
Well Troy, it seems most of the folks are arriving on the Thursday or Friday for the GTG so I will be there on the Wed evening so you can put me to work. I actually have a knack for wiring, if I have a diagram I can usually sort it all out and solder. shrink and tape it all up. But I also know how to use a pitch fork and muck stalls so if you need help there to get more time to finish the bike. I will lend a hand. My uncle had a horse farm for years and I used to help out ;D As long as she is done for the masses when the time comes, that's all that matters. Can't wait to see her in person. I have no idea how i am going to work through the day tomorrow.

Swagger: so glad you are going to make it. Everyone would have been so let down. Just let me know if you need picked up at Pittsburgh.
maritime: Please be careful and I'll be thinking about you. Like I said please check in so we know your alright. And thank you for all the offers on doing stuff. Sure I'll need help with something. bike has taken every free second latley and i've been letting shit go. Anyhow man I can't wait till you guys start rolling in!
Thanks Joe. I really wish you could see it in person.
Thanks for the offers fellas. I really appreciate it! I hope she is running when you all get here. Finished wiring last night about midnight. first huge set back came when I couldn't pull the wires through the tubes. I even used grease but it was just too tight where we sleeved the frame. Really sucks. So I'm doing my best to hide the wires.
Decided to use cloth tape for loom but ran out. It was left over hockey tape but with no hockey stores around here cloth tape is near impossible to find. I have less than a 1.5' left to cover :
. Anyhow, the heat shields are done and I jsut paint the exhaust. Took the Harley kick stand and the factory stand and combined them. Need to grind enough paint to weld it on.
The big question right now is the 90* elbows for the petcock. All I could find is 1/8 thread and the petcock is 10mm 100 pitch with no taper. I'm going to try to rethread the elbow to 10 mm. If this fails I'm screwed. Or If all goes well should have her fired up in about an hour or two.

Re: beat the clock RIP 07.14.2010
Since those fittings are brass, they can be silver soldered and they'll be plenty strong enough to hold up to any vibration that you make. As long as the pieces have decent mating surfaces you're golden for solder.
I have no idea who's hauling my lame ass in from the airport so hopefully I'll see someone with a DoTheTon sign.... :-[
As I said before, there aren't really any plans made. Will I need a sleeping bag? I won't be able to bring a tent with me as both of mine are awfully big to carry on a plane and probably wouldn't survive being checked.

Re: beat the clock RIP 07.14.2010
Also, if you have room for a sleeping bag might be good to bring one.
Brass 90* threaded right in. Lost a thread off the brass but I figured as much. If the tank fitting would have been brass I would have never tired it. Anyhow, real nice fit but wouldn't want to remove it and try it again. the best part is no leaks. I'm still waiting on the petcock for the other side. I was going to go ahead and run the plumbing tonight and just use a T for the other carb. Decided to wait and see what the mail brings tomorrow. So the last thing needed besides tank plumbing is plug wires. Kiley is sending me a set of vintage cloth wires and hopefully they should be here tomorrow too.
Swagger when are you touching down again? Maybe if I can't get there right then one of the guys can, then I can swing up later and pick you up at a disclosed location. There should be enough of us around it really shouldn't be a problem.Swagger said:
