That would buy a real nice shuffle board racket, or whatever you call them. He could fit right in with the rest of the Floridians. :lol:

 

[Fred W]

Are you kidding me?

With that kind'a coin we could buy him a brand new bike. One that won't have no stinkin' timing chain issues!!

 

[Mcgyver74]

Not to be the wet rag here, but Have we actually figured out how much it's going to cost to fix the motor? It's great that we are all contributing, but if we can find what RH needs for what we have now we can get him back on the road that much faster

 

[user 213]

Depends on how it gets fixed. And part of that depends on how much we raise. A used engine runs $600-1000+. Rebuilding the head runs $1200-2300+ depending on who's pulling the head and what shop is doing the work. Then there are issues with the lower end that may, or may not be a problem. IIRC, RH's crankshaft cam sprocket is fubar with teeth missing, which means a new crank and likely main bearings. Piston damage? Unknown. Still need that CCT too.

While used engines are cheaper, the uncertainty of a junk yard motor, (as previously discussed by Ionbeam), can lead to more expense that just fixing the motor you have if you are unlucky. Some would argue the evil you know, rather than the evil you don't know.

Not to be the wet rag here, but ...

a wet rag who's in for $20

Watching the whole saga unfold, beginning with the rust in Howies tank, one problem after another being overcome, all I could do was root for him. Then, as all of that effort was about to pay off his engine grenaded. Ouch!

If Howie uses my few bucks and my time to get a brand new engine, I would be o.k. with that. I don't know if a new engine is even an option, but my point is that I'm not really doing that much. Each of us is doing a little and if that adds enough to get him rolling again, we should be glad for him.

Also, along the same lines is the subject of doing something for those other unfortunate souls who have grenaded engines. Believe me, the thought has been on my mind since I got involved with this. Right after I offered my PayPal account for this, I began regretting that I hadn't done something for ionbeam. I remember the sick feeling I had as I read about his CCT disaster. I was impressed by his generosity in sharing the details as he got his bike on the road again. He offered his experience so we might learn from it. I remember him telling us about his wife making her "vroom vroom" noises as riding season approached. And, as if that weren't enough, ionbeam has been there for me personally, answering my questions with well written, complete answers. That was a gift of time and I appreciate it. I feel a little ashamed that we didn't come up with the idea of raising a few bucks for The Beam.

What is the point of all this?

There are many places we could send a few bucks, broken/hurting riders, memorial funds to fallen riders, ...

There are places we could have sent our money, but failed to.

There might be a point where we say "The others have given enough. I'm not giving any more to this."

I'm glad I gave my few bucks to get Howie rolling.
