                    Hahahahahaha! David and Whipper, you guys know me too well!

                    I love those 2 strokes (when they run right), but a built 4 stroke like you have in your machine, Whipper, is a blast and it sounds great. I think we need George to comment here too, he has the best of both worlds for his springer, and he can just bolt whatever engine in that he's in the mood for.

                      I was never a part of the 6x6 crowd in the 70's so it is all new to me. There is something about rebuilding the old stuff and running it again. I have been lucky so far. I have gotten some good engines and have a really large wealth of people that I have met on this site and at the events that has taken what could have been difficult and made it fun. Thanks guys!

                        Well, I'm on a budget. You can get more hp/$1 with a 2-stroke than a 4-stroke. The Chaparral, on average, costs me about $5 per horse...the Bandolero costs $34.50 per horse. The Chaparral is much cheaper (and faster) to race with but would not be nearly as fun to drive after the race season ends.

                        Maybe I'm just thinking too much.

                        If we have a hare scramble this fall though, I'll be running the Bandolero and ready for any water obstacle.
