Just a heads-up. They want too much to renew and I am "thrifty" (wife calls it cheap) but anyway, thanks for all the views and all the great feedback and comments. I will probably repost all the info on my ISP website but it will not be dinqua.com after the 1st of the month. So keep the rubber down and the shiny stuff upright all. Cheers.

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! I was going to use your site as a reference for the big bore kit! Starting this weekend! Thanks Pat for hosting a site that we could all refer to for the projects we get ourselves into. I would not have known how to change the jets in my carbs if it weren't for dinqua.com.

He didn't say the webpages were going away, just the domain name dinqua.com. If Pat chooses not to take me up on the offer to host them here, I'm sure he'll post the new URL, which will be something LIKE "www.myISP.net/~dinqua"

Cool. When you get a minute send me a copy of all the files you want to keep online (throw them all in a zip file). Or I can create the dinqua directory and give you FTP access (which I can do regardless of how the pages get there).

Pat will have his own directory on the ISP we use for this site and will have full access to that directory. There is no "stealing."  I prefer to call it "safeguarding."

OK, it is the process as I type, of uploading the site to BonnevilleAmerica.com/dinqua It will take a bit as it is about 200meg. I will edit it as I go in case there are any broken links. I left the brewing stuff attached as well but will leave that up to Friar if he wants me to kill that part. It's pretty outdated anyway, so either way it's all groovy guys and gulls.

I don't really mind but I do envision it more as being motorcycle-related (yeah, yeah, beer is motorcycle related  ). But I don't anticipate doing this a lot so I don't care if you leave it. And it's only one link.

I am glad you offered Friar, there is some good info in there especially the syncing of carbs and stuff for some of us newbies.

Yes, a wonderful cascade of crap. In the process of troubleshooting the issues with speed and memory the local copy got inadvertently taken down. Then, Friarsride.com got infected I took that down. Hoping to get one or both restored soon, I just don't know where or how soon. Here's the direct link to the jetting calculator I put together based on Pat's original app. http://friarsride.com/dinqua/And the downloadable app: http://friarsride.com/dinqua/JetCalculator2010.exeEDIT: I'm copying Pat's files to another directory mapped to http://www.bonnevilleamerica.com/dinqua I'll fix his ability to edit that content soon. I still want him to have control over it.
