cowpuc Posted June 6, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 6, 2015 Gotta love the ol girl, as she creeps closer and closer to enjoying her retirement years she seems to be pulling stunts that none of my other 1st Gens pulled.. These closing in on 300k years are amazing times!! Thought I would share some of it with my buddies here.. Take a peek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairiehammer Posted June 6, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Pucs, That is not a "filter" as you describe on the tank vent. It is a check valve, Yamaha calls it a rollover valve; meant to prevent fuel spillage if Tweeks were to lay on her side. One can still buy a new one from Yamaha; part number 25H-24180-00-00, about $14. Edited June 6, 2015 by Prairiehammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, regardless,, Tweeks check valve is now replaced by half a Bic Pen body - part number Bic ke-33496714A BUT - available free at any Bank, Insurance Company or Lawyers Office or your buddies tank bag - if your quick enough:witch_brew:!!

Squidley Posted June 7, 2015 Share #6 Posted June 7, 2015 Nice work Puckster! Mother of invention is right. Great out of the box thinking, you truly fit the "Biker" moniker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMCOFFEY Posted June 7, 2015 Share #7 Posted June 7, 2015 Thanks for your videos and tales. You are the main reason I decided to go buy my 84 and ride it back instead of shippimg it back. Both cost the same, but the adventure would have been lost by shipping it. Seeing you run around our lower 48 on Tweeks makes me not worry about running around on my bikes. I know that if I run into a problem, I can search VRO and find an easy fix that you did road side. Keep the stories coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deeply appreciate the inspiring thoughts enveloped inside your comments and also know first hand at how invaluable this site is to my way of life too!! The freedom that comes from knowing that when out enjoying life and having people here on VR having our backs when things go south (ol Murphy never sleeps does he) truly is priceless isnt it!! At any rate, THANK YOU for the kind words Tech Sargent - I cannot wait till we have a chance to experience more highway together out CTFWing (remember Mt. St. Helens - what a BLAST we had!!)... Love ya Sonshine! Puc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG TOM Posted June 15, 2015 Share #21 Posted June 15, 2015 OK, that's enough mental visuals on the tweeking and the twerking.....Now I have to go wash my eyeballs out with gasoline..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted June 15, 2015 Share #22 Posted June 15, 2015 Washing your eyes wont help with a mental visual, you have to pour the gasoline in your ear and swish it around the inside of your head thoroughly to attempt to wash the image out of your brain. Then peer in the hole with a match for illumination to be sure you got it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowpuc Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share #23 Posted June 15, 2015 Oh wow, I had no idea you guys.. Guess I guess I have spent way to much time riding cross country and Tweeking on Tweeks to even have heard of this Twerking thing.. In response to it hearing about it and in an effort to become modernized like a lot of folks, I just googled Twerking and I was shocked.. Actually,, kind of amazed.. As I watched the video of this girl doing the twerky thing it hit me,, heyyyy I could do that.. So I gave it a shot and was kind of proud of myself at how quickly I caught on. I made a short video of the ol Pucster Twerking and am in the process of sticking it up on youtube.. I will start a new thread though cause this Twerking thing maybe the biggest thing to hit VR since my friend Carbon One created those lift adapters to keep our bikes from Twerking on the lift and all of our family here may want to join into this new phase of life!!!!
