also have a "partbike" i'm going to repair it,seeing it only missing the front fork sylinder to be working. would be a shame to take a so complete bike and use it for parts.
Of all the signatures you have read,this is properly one of them

Only problem is, my pics are full-sized pics....i need to know if that's a problem if i post em...and if it is, how to resize them, cuz i ain't good at that! (note: i tried "paint" but it left all the white around it!)

nvm...i firgured it out.....now....if only i knew how to post pics, i shall try i guess
It's a 1990 DODGE POWER RAM (w150) -4x4 (front/rear solid axle with leaf-springs) -5.2 liter engine, 230 hp, 330 lb-ft torque, auto trans ***no major engine or suspension upgrades cuz i'm still fixin her up as i just bought it 6 months ago and it needed: -new rad, and added a trans intercooler -alternator -floor (lol....gotta love canadian road salt and steel cab floors...great mixture) -still in need of new tires (gonna buy some winter tires for now...since winter is coming up) -new steering shaft, and steering gear -transfer case seal -headlights(changed from sealed beam to independent bulb H4) also, i now have new rims....which look very similar to those on a 1969 charger (the general lee) used in the show "dukes of hazzard", but i have hubcaps for those crappy rusties i got on there now....which will be my snow/winter rims since i really don't care about em, besides, i have 8 of those types of rims anyway, that's it, hope ya'll appreciate a resto-project truck as much as i do!

slim: Well, if you like that kind of car... I guess it's nice for moving and stuff.

230bhp from a 5.2 LITRE engine is utterly pathetic! how do americans manage to get such puny amounts of power from engines?? in europe we can get 230bhp from a blender!

perhaps ur not aware, but it's not a high performance car were talkin bout here, and look at any of those high-performance cars' stats, and you'll see that they have more power than torque. POWER=SPEED (aka, how capable is the car of reaching it's maximum speed is my best way of describing it.) TORQUE=centrifugal wheelspin (aka, the capability of the engine to make the wheels turn) now, don't ask me how these are dissimilar cuz i'm always confused when explaining them, but all i know is that since my 318 is a push-rod engine (car nuts know what i mean!), it produces more torque than power.....so a ford GT has 550bhp and a little less torque, not quite sure what the number is....but how can u say that in europe cars are way better when they keep producing 45bhp production cars in 2007-08! LMFAO!!!! that is just sad...my lawnmower has more power.....no joke...it has 56hp and 60lb-ft of torque (dyno'ed.....i know....lol i work at a garage and we have a dyno.....lol)
I believe i have made my point, that it don't matter how much power u have in the states, cuz we don't have the autobahn...or other places to go legally fast other than the arizona salt flats (at least i think it's arizona.....lol). and my truck is only a 318...if i had a 440....well now were talkin!
and btw, jahoovenator....i didn't mean this reply as a mean gesture....but merely to explain why this 230bhp deal is not that big of a deal for a pickup truck, but if it was a lambo or a mustang.....then....well....whole other story....so no offence to you buddy!
