Wish I were home on my laptop,, hard typing on this tab.. Craigs is right on, the cades had a failure problem with the forward bevel gear. There is a plug in the end of the gear shaft that falls out and t loses lube. There have been several solutions tried, rom jb weld to staking the original plug. The ONLY guarenteed solution is using an aftermarket plug, still being produced as far as I know.. The cade wasnt around long enough for susuki to fix the problem.. only other downfall with them or the madura line that I have found thru the years is parts rarity.. His front springs are probably sacked, that causes the bottoming, usually not air pressure related..

Heyyyyy,, thats not garage,, thats amotorcycle,, is this one of ink blot test thingys skid? GORGEOUS BIKE TOO! So,, you gonna toss a leg over it n come up and ride the west coast of michigan? Bring that yammerdan, ifhe can find him, and dont let him tell ya he dont ride with harleys! its gonna all be ok hugger,, there will always be a few of us out here that know the truth about these good ol 1st gennys and how big their heart really is!

Well pete,, its like this,,, I come from a big family and learned very early on that when the ice cream comes out t0 ya best drop what ur doing and gooble cause,,, wellll,,,, cause its ice cream.. never got rid of those childish bad habits sooo... gotta tell ya though my friend,, I was VERY impressed with the west coast bunch that showed up for my first meet n greet for ice cream,,, had a huge turnout and all but a couple of them seem to really have it together when it came to ice cream! We have some southern members who those west coasters would really have trouble with,, down there food just has a tendecy to disappear when it doent get et fast enough,, gotta be quick!.. ya know,, now that I think about it,, I wonder if that is alsowhy more of my southern brothers ride 1st gens too,,, being the faster of the yam v4s,, gettin to the ice cream 1st,, hmmmm.

Flying across the u.s. of a tryin to get to rushmore for the annual fireworks display... thru dozens of examples of why i should have learned from that ol "PHONE FIRST" commercial I should have known better.. got yappin with a guy in upper montana and found out the rushmore works xare permenently banned cause of fire danger.. went back to backroad riding, got late, looked for camp spot, hay bales on roadside,, PERFECT! woke up the next morning to find we were camping on the corner section of a multi million dollar GORGEOUS housing complex LOL People were peddling past out getting thier morning exercise while staring at the ol geezer bikers LOL Got lost,, folks who understand this type of bikin know that gettinlost is actually a good thing, especially if ya carry no map or gps so ya have to stop and TALK to locals.. we needed water and gas and,, being 108 degrees,, maybe a nice cool off.. fund this little town called JORDAN MT. gas station had NO drinkin water,,, oh ohhhh.. Jordans a tiny cowtown, not much there but noticed a senior care building,,, tiny place but I saw a lady come out.. tip went in to ask about water,, some older lady came out, looked at me and said,, WEARE HAVING AN ICE CREAM SPECIAL INSIDE THAT YOUR WECOME TOO! Being the well versed in proper ediquette person that I am I calmly wiped about a half of inch of desert dust offmy face and belly with the shirt I removed from the netting on tweeks back,,, all the while THANKING this 90 year cowgirl for the invite.. I dissappeared into the doorway of the place while stretching a freshly stained shirt over my tanned body so quick even my spiderman riding shoes were shocked.. THESE PEOPLE WERE AWESOME! Tip went to use the young ladies room, came back with a HUGE smile on her face and said,,, you gettin us lost has just paid off BIG TIME again.. She says,, YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE BACK THERE! I followed her into the back room and about fell to the ground! It was the COOLEST, BADDEST, NEATEST MOSTEST UNREAL MUSEUM YOU HAVE EVER SEEN! Come to find out, Jordan is world known for its dinasaur digs!,, tip n I got to actually touch the bones of dinasaurs! Besides the cowboy clothing display, veterans display, homestead living displays! 2 THUMBS UP FOR JORDAN MT! Oh yea,, those old folks sure had good water too,,,,,, n ice cream if your lucky! tippys tugging at my shirt to go ride,, shes turnin into a motorcycle addict,,, 14 hour days on the back of a bike watchin the world go by,,, some people are crazy! ride while while can! puc

WOW! Course,, ya gotta drive thru a hurricane to get it! how you guys fairing down yonder randy? We have been hearing rumors from other bikers out here aabout the hurricane? hope all is well with you and my other friends n family down south! puc

No wrong or right sys,,, I only suggested tryin 8 cause ya never know.. antique parts are really weird,, in my very limited experience anyway.. talking to another builder at sturgis a few years about a basket case 41 indian I had.. I had done a 38 hd years before that I really did fair as well as I had hoped.. the guy was telling me that the last three pre 50, s bikes he had taken in he moved them out as baskets cause thats where the money was.. I agreed,, stuck the 41 out on craigs, it was a true basket in rough shape and I missed restored resale price by maybe 5 grand.. 5 grand is nothing compared to time n costs of restoring,, let alone if your trying to feed the fam on the income.. anyway,, I only suggested trying 8 and see what happens,,,, buyers set the value - not an ol geezer like me LOL

Guess is 3 to 500 bob..I would put it on craigs for 8 bills, serious collectors have services that will send info direct to them if they are looking for one.. ebay works too but craigs is less hassle.. do NOTHING with it! The rawer unrestored the more valuable! Good luck puc! NICE!

Before we start answering that question,, lets go back to utah for a minute.. while playing in the desert near skull valley I saw an animal that looked just like a michigan wolverine. Low to ground, striped face and all. NO YOOO YOOOES, IT WAS NOT A SKUNK! Any of you desert rats know what it may have been? mark this in ur calendars is you LOVE COWBOYING = WHILE TALKING TO A GENUINE COWBOY OUT IN THE SAME AREA I FOUND OUT THAT THE 1ST WEEK OF MAY IN SKULL VALLEY IS GENUINE, FOR REAL. ROUND UP OF COWS! I asked if quads were used,, NO! Horse, rope, wrangling, casteratin (ouch) all done the way it has been for years,, THE REAL DEAL STUFF! NOT LIKE CITY SLIKERS MOVIE, THIS IS REAL! I am going! back to my guestion,, pic one is the answer! This collection of skeeters or flies was the result of 25 minutes of riding, starting with a clean shield! tweeks did GREAT in glacier, LOVED THE GOING TO THE SUN ROAD! Our enhanced drivers licenses worked, althoughbthe canadian guard did a doulble of tip n I! Got to catch a little of our neighbors and friends 147th up there before heading back in to our beloved country for today. Those canucks are really great folks! Battery dieing! Help squidley HELP!

Matter of fact though,, I hear that some other countrys have it even worse,, in the 8 dollar a gallon range! yep kickshot, I have a collection of patches clued on er too! Shes been to wendover so tweeks has earned the right to wear it (only sticker on her from a place she aint been is from aussie annie - tweeks wears that one out of love and pride for our dear friends from down under.. anyway, you betcha kickshot, you send it, tweeks will wear it with pride and I would be honored to have it! thanks for the offer! puc

Indeed fool! Only these 1st gennies dont hold 5 gallons,, think the last time I rode mine out,, it filled at like 4.6,, big difference when ya got a riding partner who hates pushing LOL

Prayers up for whoever is involved!

If I were home I would call Metric Motorsports in muskegon mi and ask mike or george boston that question coff. Explaining to them what you are trying to do.. I know the tenth digit is year manufact.. I am thinking by production numbers and finding out numbers produced per month it should be doable.. those guys at metric were yam dealers since the beginning.. If you call them tell them you are a friend of mine who is in the military and I am trying to help you find your dream bike.. they dont know me as puc, only scott barnhard hope it helps puc

I had no idea the federation had altered the 2nd gen starships that much.. I pushed the translater on tweeks a couple weeks ago, science officer tippy was standing in the spot and she was instantly beamed into a galaxygoodwill store.. when I pushed it again she translated back with a really cool vulcan sweetshirt.. Captn, s log, stardate,,, still unknown,, still dont wanna know.. warp drive dilthiums rated at 85 octane purchashed at obviuos romulan influenced outpost and installed by tribbles seem to be functioning flawlessly.. orders givin to navigator sulutippy to disengage warp drives.. starship tweeks now resting while crew members gorge themselves on what appear to be pieces of a bird of prey that got to close to earths sun. Due to excellent performance of 85 octane di crystals, glacier astroid field now 4 hours out, givin no problems some fossilized captn n crew cant fix.. log central notes entrance, crew member tippy questioning myselve intensly about the identity of being, human or not, that refered to members of 1st gen starships as fossils.. thus far I have been able to squelch the inquiries... Crew member tippy has informed me of possibly taking inquiry to space command admiral DORIS if I dont cave in... I have met this particular admiral and am aware of her abilities in handling such matters, especially those of much younger humans than myself..

So,,, what in the world,,, I thought we left the crazys way back in cali but brother,, I was wrong... than again,, if ya look closely at this place where we camped last night you will notice its acually a make shift motocross track with an old bus in the middle of it! I FELT RIGHT AT HOME! Found gas next morning, good thing too, see pic. We are in idaho with high hopes of seeing glacier in the near future! Last time we got near bonneville speedway I took tweeks out on the speedway salt for a run. You can find vids on it on youtube by searching my name, scott barnhard, if you have any interest in seein an ol beat up 1st gen, loaded down with gear, just tearing it up! Anyway,, before we left wendover (where the speedway is) last year we looked EVERYWHERE for a sticker to give tweeks her just reward,, NO LUCK! As we went thru this year I stopped at a place where I checked last time and they said they would get some,,, GUESS WHAT GANG - THEY KEPT THEIR WORD! TWEEKS NOW HAS HER BONNEVILLE SPEEDWAY STICKER,, YEEEEEEHAWWWWW Got a terrible connection here in pocatello idaho, beatiful country BUT TERRIBLE INTERNET.. HOPE THIS GETS OUT! ride em if ya got em,, ITS SUMMERTIME, Puc

Mountains of idaho = quicker comm flow, took advantage of opportinity and doubled up my prayers! PRAYERS UP!
