  1. Been nice knowing ya, ted! i'm sure that when you get kicked out of here, you'll find a "bad a$$" group to hang out with. probably have to invest in a whole new BLACK and ORANGE wardrobe, though! lol just jt
  2. my theory is because it is the only one that moves.the outer brake pad is set, and the inner does all the traveling. might not be correct, but it sounds good to me! lol just jt
  3. someone around here has all of that info. i remember reading it sometime before "THE CRASH". just jt
  4. i like the license plate holder Jack, but how do you propose to put those rectangular inserts into the plastic side cover? i made "TX VENTURE " a set of polished stainless inserts for his MKll, but i don't know if he has ever installed them yet.will be watching this thread, to see what the "project" looks like when finished. just jt
  5. i figured if i hung around here long enough, some one local would show up. WELCOME to our house, Byron! see ya at Ramsey's one of these days. just jt
  6. here ya go. i hope they show up. just jt
  7. my MkII, is still up on blocks! i have had a new set of E3's for about three months now. just been too danged hot to get all enthused about pulling the wheels off, or riding , for that matter. i have been tinkering around with the honda cb 900 custom, though.i have to say, the "touring bags" are the FUGLIEST bags i have ever seen.they look like "Samsonite" luggage! lol just jt
  8. YEP! that's the "spaghetti bowl"! lol just jt
  9. brother ,you did a Fabulous job of bringing "miss E's " bike back to life.looks like a brand new machine! tell your misses, i said she is one lucky woman. now, when are ya planning on coming down here to "rejuvenate " my cb 900 custom? i swear it is "FUGLY". just jt
  10. Man! that must be a V-MAX engine. my 86 don't look anything like that! sorry i couldn't be more help. just jt
  11. steve, i just went out and checked to make sure. there are NO vacuum lines attached DIRECTLY to the carbs on a 1300. the only vac. line that is present connects directly BELOW the carb on the left front, where it mounts to the intake boot.all other vacuum ports are blanked off with rubber caps. hope we are on the same page. just jt
  12. YES!!!!!! prayers are still answered! ditto what everyone else said! my best to you , Dale, and Miss Haley! just jt
  13. My brother , Ron, had to be life flighted to Corpus Christi , yesterday. had a pretty severe heart attack. Dr.s there did the "rotor rooter trick"and installed a stint. today he is just being kept for observation and should go home tomorrow. the other bad news is "the rattlesnake" won't be riding OR driving for a long time! just jt
  14. went to AUTO-ZONE today to get a can of sea foam. price has DOUBLED in the past 3 months! now paying $11.78, per can! needless to say, i have switched to "Coleman camp fuel"a gallon costs about the same as a pint of sea foam. just jt
  15. hope this post don't get buried too quickly. recently i discovered a weight loss regimen, without even looking for one. i weigh 128 pounds, so i don't NEED to lose any weight. if you are curious, do a google on "honey bee pollen"and read EVERY word you can find . what it did to me, was cause me NOT to be hungry. your individual mileage may vary! lol just jt
  16. Mike, for a man who has never ADMITTED to owning a 1st gen, you sure are opinionated! must have something to do with riding a slow motion, second gen WALRUS! lol just jt
  17. to all of you good people. my "give a damn is busted"! i come here and read all of the threads, everyday, but i just don't seem to have anything to contribute. to all of you guys who sent p.m.s, i want you all to know, that i do appreciate them, just can't seem to get back in the loop , for whatever reason. just jt
  18. seems STUPID to me to check the victim's blood and urine, when she was blameless! woman with the finger nail fetish , should be charged with vehicular homicide. jmho jusst jt
  19. i "eat" a teaspoon full of honey EVERY DAY, morning and night. i also drink a mixture of "honey bee pollen" and orange juice daily. i'm going to have my cholesterol checked again in a couple of weeks, to see if there is any truth to the claims. just jt
  20. if it's who i think it is, he ain't answering "p m 's" either. i sure hope the news is good. just jt
  21. i just got a call from the head parts man at the local Yamaha dealership. he had a question that he COULD NOT answer, for a prospective customer. the question was "do the new ventures have a reverse?". can you believe that? just jt.
  22. i changed my '86 starter clutch out a few months ago, and DIDN'T have to drain the oil. oil that drips out of the cover , is minimal, if you do it the way Squeeze suggested. have fun, and don't forget to re-punch the bolts. they WILL back out on their own, and you WILL have to do the job a second time!lol just jt
  23. Bill,get some of your buddies to call "Chuck Foose", and give them a sob story! you just might get "overhauled", on national T.V.! lol:backinmyday: just jt
  24. hipshot

    can you get maple syrup from a "mesquite tree"? if not, then i guess i will have to settle for the "store bought" variety. i agree. ain't nothin better on pancakes. just jt
  25. i'm gonna take ya'll's advice. remember , though, if i get wounded,pegscraper is at fault! lol just jt
