East Providence police ticketed me last April , $96 speeding , 42 in a 25 , the cop said he gave me a brake , wrote me a municipal ticket , not state , 10 over the posted 25 mph ! Gave him a state ID not a driver's license . Said if I didn't pay it they will suspend my license ?? LOL He had no clue on how to write the ticket and was so pissed off that he had to spent 20 minutes on the phone talking to the police station . This was the head of the traffic safety department , I guess they don't know the State law requires a valid driver's license , lucky Me ?

If you're looking to buy any machine shop equipment my friend is going out of business after 45 years running a machine shop in Pawtucket

Yeah you got lucky, we also can't have manual shifters, over 50cc, need to be registered and insured, although there is no way to do the last two. As for machines I'm pretty well set, been looking for tooling, and a hydraulic press. You get a few ponies out of that motor was wondering what you did besides the head and pipe.

Yeah let me about the press, looks about what I'm looking, Three transfer ports, can't tell from the pics but is that one of intake on the crankcase motors?

It's a cylinder intake with a reed, boost port, and windowed piston.

Yes Gary 55 your absolutely right MZ REED, 18mm Mikuni and a massive third transfer port. I cut the cylinder walls out of the side transfer ports , I tried it as an experiment and didn't measure a thing , I'm still waiting for it to grenade LOL so I can actually measure and clone that cylinder piston combo cuz this thing screws #!#!
