How long will a rear tire last ?  :)
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-03-2009 00:28
They last me about 2 hrs of hard ridin. If you dont smoke the tires they last a long time (so I was told) I just cant seem to keep from smokin the tire. This thing will LIGHT the tire at 100 mph
Parent - - By okwelder82 (***) Date 04-03-2009 00:42
It wont be long and he will have a 502 in that Vantage of his. I couldnt say that I blame him it could only help that machine.
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-03-2009 00:44
Nah It already has a Turbo Perkins in it. It dont need no help. Its already the best there is !
Parent - - By okwelder82 (***) Date 04-03-2009 00:46
If you say so
Parent - - By dion_pepperg (*) Date 04-03-2009 22:32
it is the best no doubt
Parent - - By okwelder82 (***) Date 04-04-2009 00:14
In my opinion Lincoln put to much time and money into the looks of of the Vantage and not enough into the function.
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-04-2009 03:55
Apparently you don't own one. Because if you did you would be singing a different tune. Mine seems to function enough for two or three welders. Let me Guess you have a SA-200 with a rolled rack that welds pipe like no other.   Am I close ?
Parent - - By okwelder82 (***) Date 04-04-2009 13:08
No your not, I have a 300D That pipe welds like no other. I may not own a Vantage but I know enough people that do and I have welded with one mulitiple times and was not impressed. Again, Just my opinion.
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-04-2009 23:56
heres a hint. It's all in the arm, Not the machine
Parent - - By okwelder82 (***) Date 04-05-2009 01:47
Let me tell you, theres nothing wrong with my arm and if that were the case you wouldnt be bragging about your Disadvantage being the best thing since sliced bread.
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-05-2009 13:53
I didnt say there was anything wrong with your arm. I said that WELDING is all in the arm. THAT MEANS... If you can weld, Then you can weld....If you Can't weld, Then you can't weld. Ever heard the saying "It all happens between the shoulder and the holder " ?  I really does not have alot to do with the machine. So calm down Poindexter. Everything will be ok. But on the otherhand, When reading your post, it seems as though you might just have a chip on your shoulder.
Parent - - By okwelder82 (***) Date 04-05-2009 14:24
No chip on my shoulder. I know a lot of it has to do with the arm but I think you would have to agree that the machine plays a part also. I couldnt make the same quality welds on downhill pipe with my Miller bobcat as I could with my 300D. As far as the Vantage goes I just really dont care for them. When I bought my machine I looked at and welded with a lot of different machines and was just less than impressed with the way the Vantage welds downhill. I will have to say it does pretty good with Lo Hi.
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-05-2009 14:31
Personally I do not consider a Bobcat when speaking of welding machines. I have been in this game for 28 years. I think this NEW vantage 500 Compact will out perform all the rest BAR NONE
Parent - By okwelder82 (***) Date 04-05-2009 17:17
I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.
Parent - By 1earedelephant Date 08-22-2009 05:15
thats right that 300d welds like no other because it only exists in your dreams its probably a miller bobcat that generates just enough power to run your mouth am i close miss riggy?
Parent - - By 1earedelephant Date 08-22-2009 05:10
that is what some would say about your welds but oops they dont function or look good
Parent - - By ross (***) Date 08-22-2009 13:16
Banned.
Parent - By thewelder (***) Date 08-22-2009 23:31
Thank you ROSS
Parent - By swsweld (****) Date 08-23-2009 02:35
Good call. All 21 post were negative, confrontational and condescending directed at one person that didn't encourage or engage the attacker.
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 04-03-2009 01:23
how would you know you've only used it twice ok 3 times with the time i used it
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-03-2009 01:29
Well thats what you told me Shad
Parent - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 04-03-2009 01:35
yeaah i know it is a sweet machine and i only ran 1 rod with it
Parent - - By rick harnish (***) Date 04-03-2009 01:43
Shad, you have just done it.
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 04-03-2009 01:46
done what boosted his ego? he can do that on his own looking in the mirror but according to debbie it takes alot of convincing lmao
Parent - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-03-2009 01:50
Yeah Shad, Now Youv'e done it
Parent - - By rick harnish (***) Date 04-03-2009 01:51

Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-04-2009 03:56
Yep ! That is Shads seat. Shad can you say Reach-a-round ?
Parent - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 04-05-2009 15:11
my arms arent that long and well you are wrongly equiped to reach around lol
Parent - By 1earedelephant Date 08-22-2009 05:07
how do you know riglet your machine is aircooled
Parent - - By FixaLinc (****) Date 04-03-2009 02:19
I'm surprised a tire will last that long lol.  Thought might have to stop for more gas to wear it out. 
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-03-2009 02:24
It WILL burn the tire off the rim if your not careful. Its pretty cool to squirt lighter fluid on the tire before you do a burnout at night. Makes Traffic stop. !!!
Parent - - By FixaLinc (****) Date 04-03-2009 03:04
COOL now just need some flames out the exhaust lol !

Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-03-2009 03:10
Thats easy... You just mount a spark plug in the exhaust and run a wire to it with a switch. Whenever you feel the need to Fart flames, just flip the switch and rev her up
Parent - - By darren (***) Date 04-03-2009 06:14 Edited 04-03-2009 07:57
ive got an 84 flht that has some motor work and under full throttle at night she spits a nice whitish cone of flame out the super trapp.
during the day she still glows inside the pipe nice and bright when riding behind it.
if it werent for toys there would be no reason to work at all.
i went for a ride in a storm, its a canadian thing.
congrats dwayne on another reason to live, another ride
if your a rider you'll notice the lenses are clear because of being lit during the storm

Darren, Love the stash.

You need to grow it back!  ;)
Parent - - By DaveBoyer (*****) Date 04-03-2009 04:04
Prolly burns a gallon a minute at full output. 1 minute of full output & You will be worn out.
Parent - - By spots (**) Date 04-03-2009 21:42
That thing needs a big 'ol nitrous bottle.
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 04-04-2009 03:57
It is set up for a 200 shot. The bottles are in my shop. I am gonna put them on my Trike
Parent - - By Cumminsguy71 (*****) Date 04-25-2009 11:43
NITROUS!!! Holy Crap!! Next thing we'll see on the news is a live shot of Cactus flying down the highway with the news chopper overhead, he'll have hands on the handlebars, throttle cracked wide open and the rest of him flapping in the breeze like a piece of laundry! :-)

What a monster bike that is for sure! Like the yellow paint!
