Oh I get it. Laughing my fat a** off am I right? did I get it?..... sorry just trying to increase my post statistics

There is always hope. Only God knows what he has in store for you in his plan. The Doctors are only quessing.

Dang I was worried that I posted to much. I didn't know anyone was counting. Joined 4/24/09 1,194 post average 1.28 per day I paid my $12.00 too I know I have too much time on my hands but I am unemployed and that is my excuse and I'm sticking with it. I'll make anyone on this forum that is tired of reading my post a deal. Give me a job and I won't post so much. I'm more of a post addict than a post whore. Being a whore indicates someone is paying you. No one has offered me a dime to post. Now if someone did maybe I wouldn't need a job. And afterall I quess there are worse things that I could be addicted too.

Well H*ll Yea... I'm down wit dat...You Go girlfriend.....Dat's wat I mean by Multi-tasking....... We fight dem foes :superman:while we git a buzz on:happy-emoticon:.....at the Bud factorie ....where dem big ole horsies stay...... wit dem big fuzzy feet. U aint gotta ax me twice

I am only 17 years old................with 37 years of good solid experience. Still happily riding my 1st gen every day.

Parts unknown on a quest to fight the good fight to continue our never ending story and show Aussie Annie and Quickstep the sights and historical places of our beautiful country. So with the sun setting over historical Daytona Motor Speedway [ATTACH]38276[/ATTACH] As seen from the Balcony of the Million Dollar condo we have been staying in in Daytona Beach, Florida......Yes, we are still in Daytona. We get ready for the next part of our mission that includes fencing the interstate system as we ride along the way. The plan is that Yammie Mammie will lead the way since she has the map. The Dragon Slayer will follow her using his newly acquired Wizard of Oz magic wand [ATTACH]38277[/ATTACH] to set fence post one by one as we travel. Aussie Annie will follow towing a trailer behind her quike that we have constructed to carry and unroll fenceing along the roadside. Quickstep will follow Annie and since he is said to be as tough as nails he will spit fenceing nails to attach the fenceing to the fence post. Massey will follow with the dessert cart in tow (which he has now made into a trailer) so that we can have dessert whenever we stop for rest breaks. The rest of the pack following him singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall.:banana::cool10: With all of the preparations made... we leave Daytona traveling through the night finding ourselves watching the sun come up on the Blueridge Parkway.[ATTACH]38278[/ATTACH] By lunch time we are at the great Archway in Saint Louis, MO where we stop for a much needed rest break. [ATTACH]38279[/ATTACH][ATTACH]38280[/ATTACH][ATTACH]38281[/ATTACH] This all being possible since we have learned how to travel at the speed of light through space and time.

Time is not the issue since we have space and time travel on our side, along with the magic wand that came with my Wizard of Oz costume. Food would be nice where is the nearest Dairy Queen. Your Welcome

Yes you are right Yama Mammie It is an extensive list to undertake but , I believe the secret to tackling this list is to get creative with with our problem solving and multi tasking skills to come up with solutions that will solve multiple problems at one time. Like killing two birds with one stone. We need to work smarter. Let me give you an example. I have an idea that if executed will solve the following problems all at once. OBama's assistance programs record unemployment world hunger whirled peas world peace endangered dolphins International whaling Uninsured Pedestrian deer in the roadway Dangerous troupe deployment Motorcyclist image to the general public homelessness economy in recession You see what we need to do is build fences enclosing all of the medians and roadside land area of the interstate highway system all around the country. That would keep the uninsured pedestrian deer out of the roadways:banana: and would capture all that massive amount of land area for agriculture and grazing livestock. That way we could employ the unemployed:banana: (ending homelessness :banana:since everyone will have jobs to pay for housing stimulating the housing market, which will correct the economy) to build fences, plant crops, tend live stock. This could be done for the same cost we are now spending in roadside maintenance. :mo money:That would correct the record unemployment:banana: making Obama's trickle up assistance programs unnecessary. :banana:With all or the abundance in food crops and livestock we could harvest and send around the world sell what we could and give the rest away to hungry people all over the world. :thumbsup2:With the abundance of food around the world there would be no need for international whaling or tuna fish and the dolphins would be safe. :banana:Therefore ending world hunger,:banana: also creating more jobs in shipping transportation, Construction, meat packaging etc. :banana:If we feed the world we wouldn't have any enemies which would create world peace and whirled peas. :banana::banana:With world peace there would not be the need for dangerous troupe deployment, :cool10:saving trillions of dollars in military armaments, :mo money::mo money:which could subsidize the project. By coming up with the idea Motorcyclist would be the hero's of the world :bluesbrother:and the general population of the world would now respect motorcyclist for who we really are. By the way, I'm glad you like your t-shirt. It looks very becoming on you.

Are we going to Oz to see a wizard or Aussie Annie? Is that what your suggestting? Or better yet how about an ignition system lock out that is jammed by the microwaves of the cell phone so the car won't run when the cell phone is in use.

must travel through space and time and use every trick at our disposal to save mankind from it's self. There are just to many injustices in the world, too many wrongs that need to righted, too many mistakes that need to be corrected, too many crusades that need to be fought for the good cause. There are so many missions that we could undertake I need help in deciding where we go next. So, I have made a list and would like your help in prioritizing in what order we will attack the items on the list. This is just a quick list that I have made off the top of my head. If any of you have any other concerns please feel free to add them to the list. Obama's economic recovery assistance programs Yamaha's parts pricing greed The family rift between the Teutals at OCC the firing of Vinny, Jr, and Mickey on OCC Paul Sr's people skills The Mayan Calendar 2012 thing missing my birthday 12/22/2012 HD motorcyclist snobs HD parts hazards in the roadways Global warming oil slicks left by HDs causing a safety and environmental hazard International whaling Dolphin safe tuna wurled peas .... I mean ........world peace world hunger world gluteny Swine flu pandemic misuse of our tax dollars fewer ambulances on the dragon Muffinman's pink chaps erosion of family values Ruffy's Tattoos Record unemployment melting of the polar ice caps Rap music Inflation tire deflation Hot dogs come 10 to the pack, buns 8 to the pack planned obsolescence of high ticket items Internet viruses spam (the INTERNET kind not the potted meat kind) Tele marketers info-mercials unfunny TV commercials moronic reality shows no-service mentality of businesses precidice and reverse discrimination Paris Hilton Craig's list scams Bad squirrel decisions bad hair days Uninsured pedestrian deer in the roadways uninsured Presbyterians in the roadways Marauding Pik-A-Nic basket stealing Bears (I think we have already covered that) Multi tasking cage operators Dangerous air bag deployment Dangerous troupe deployment Those pesky dragons incessant leaf raking opportunities Weather Men accountability for poor prediction performance. Suffering Sucatash....... There is just too much to do. We must hone our super powers. We have the technology, we have time travel, we have many clever disguises left over from Halloween. Plus the left over and accumulated Halloween candy for energy. Let's get started. What do we do first?

Done did that, it was too far gone

The mailman came and went no starter. So I got busy working on the Virago project. At around 2:00 I looked out the front door to find the starter box sitting there. Evidently UPS came and went and dropped off what I had been waiting for. When I opened the box and compared the new starter to the old It was not an exact match. The center housing was about 3/8" shorter than the one on the old starter. I went ahead and tried to bolt it up and it did bolt up with the starter gear messing up perfectly. I went ahead and hooked it up to give it a quick bump test and it ran perfectly with no dragging starter...... finally:thumbsup2: Problem solved. FYI and for future information the late 60's model Ford solenoid did not work. no matter how I hooked up the 12 control terminals it would either engage all the time or not at all. Thank goodness the old Yamaha solenoid as still good and worked fine. Thanks to all of you that responded and helped my through this problem. I could not have done it without you. Ya'll are a great bunch and as always this is a great forum.

I went ahead and ordered a new starter from one of the ebay dealers and am patiently awaiting it's arrival. The only downside it was advertised as a Vmax starter but after talking to the dealer it is not a 4 brush starter and is the 2 brush version. But, it is new and I could not find a 4 brush. So, hopefully it will show up today. I'm getting antsy since it prime leaf season down here with perfect riding weather. I don't know how much longer the weather will last.

"Never could I leave without you" the Dragon Slayer said as he rounded the corner with Yama Mama following close behind.......... I was just waiting for you to provide the inspiration that I needed so that I could embellish the story building on the input that you, Yama Mama and the others provide. You see with out your inspirational comments I have nothing to say. And fearing that I might be monopolizing the conversation too much I have been lurking waiting on your input. Because, you are the wind in my sails, the fuel in my trusty steed Venture Royale (1st gen of course), the sward with which I will heft to slay those pesky dragons. So Simon says......come quickly put on this helmet and come with Yama Mama and myself before the blatantly incompetent mechanics and sales floor personnel of this little shop of horrors realizes that I am an impostor cleverly disguised as the diabolical evil genius mastermind, The Stealer, and they try to charge us outrageous prices for breathing their air in this Stealership.........We must exit.... stage right!

Inhibitions. You seem entirely too self continuous. You have made a wonderful selection in T-shirts and I am more than pleased to offer my assistance in helping you fit the T-shirts that you have selected to your trim and well fit form. In fact I would be equally pleased in offering my future assistance on an on-going basis and can make myself available at your pleasure anytime you so desire 24/7 365 days per year. I can be available on a regular basis, spontaneously when the mood strikes you or by appointment at your convenience. This is a service that I normally charge a small fee for, but, in your case I will waive that fee.......Of course. Yama Mama is now thinking De Ja Vue. There is something just a little too familiar with what she had just heard. Where had she heard that voice before saying what he just said. Just a few minutes ago she had been somewhat apprehensive is allowing a stranger to fit her to the T-shirts she had selected, But, for some reason now she was excited about getting fitted. She had never been fitted before and wondered if it was anything like being frisked. Then she remembered where she had heard that voice before. It was the voice of the Dragon Slayer who was cleverly disguised as the diabolical evil genius mastermind, The Stealer. "Dragon Slayer" she gasped "where have you been.... and why are you disguised as the diabolical evil genius mastermind, The Stealer?" "Shhhhhsssss".. he said. I have been lurking and am on a secret mission to rescue you from the Stealer who is planning to charge you outrageous prices for any thing you buy from his little shop of horrors. I know a better way. I have all the parts you need and a much better selection of T-shirts, all with a Dragon Slayer motif. In fact I have one with me that was recently created by my artistically creative son , just for this occasion. Now Simon says let me fit you into this new Dragon slayer T-shirt and let's get out of here before anyone realizes that I am not the Stealer......................

I'm good but I aint perfect. Here's a some Pics

I have all of those merit badges and a few more. They wont all fit on the resume. Went back to the property today and killed a buck and , Chris killed her first deer, a doe and I missed two other does, with the gun this time. I don't know how many I missed with the car this trip, it was dark both going and coming so I couldn't see em. It's a good thing too, I don't think I can drag, field dress and process more than 2 a day. Plus a flat tire with no jack in the woods. Up at 4:00 am again this morning it's 10:00pm now and I'm just getting my shower and dinner. I'm wore out enough for one day.

OMG ....................It would be fun to do to her what she did to you and then charge her what she was gonna charge you for her little proceedure.

Thanks, It turned out OK. I found out that all you need to do auto body work is a big hammer, a logging chain and a pine tree.

Opening the window is a good thing if you gonna shoot out of it. At least your house aint moving. I've never heard of a deer running into a house before. Oh, maybe I have seems like I remember a you tube video of a deer jumping through a livingroom window. Hey Boomer you better watch out.

I didn't have my camera handy when it happened and since SleeperHawk's mechanic Bobbie wasn't there I didn't get any pictures of the deer, wrecked car or us standing on the side of the road before daylight but, here are some pictures of the before body parts and the car after the new vintage parts are installed and before the new paint job.

Chris is in a much better state of mind this morning since I got her car put back together. After I read her this post see even laughed and said " I guess all you do is laugh about it." If I keep being nice she just might let me do the airbrush thing on the hood.

Dano, I posted this story especially for you. I know how you love my deer hunting stories.

It's that time of year again when those of us that are yearning for the hunt get that disorder that is commonly referred to as Buck Fever. Those of you not interested in hunting may not understand. But, being a life time hunter it hits me hard about the time I notice the leaves changing. This year one of our members and one of my newest bestest friends generously offered to let me hunt on his property which is located smack dab in the middle of prime Georgia deer and wild hog territory. The weekend before last I got a late start for the morning hunt to get to my spot and settled before sunrise. So, on the way to the stand I spooked the big boy as he was passing my stand on the way to breakfast. And as a result he blew and ran off and I blew my chance at bagging a big buck for a least that hunt on that day. So the next hunt day ended up being yesterday. And, I was pretty determined to get to my spot on time. Buuuuut, My house mate, sidekick and hunting companion, Chris (lovingly referred to as Miss Stumpy, sometimes Guney Bird) does not respond well to being aroused from her slumbers at 4:AM nor does she seem amused, pleased or motivated by my motivational and time management speech which pretty much consist of repeating over and over again....................... "Areba, areba...... on-delay, on-delay, on-delay......no time for that........don't stop now.......... we're burning daylight!!!!!! " I don't know why. So, to appease her so she would get in the car, and with alterior motives, :whistling:I offered to drive. Knowing full well that I would be able to make up some lost time while she slept in the passenger seat on the way. Time wise we were cutting it close and about three miles away from the property I was watching the first hint of daylight peeping over the horizon when in my peripheral vision I see a humongous buck (with a rack bigger than anything I have ever killed in a lifetime of hunting), leap through a hedgerow and over the fence alongside the road just in time to land on the hood of the car. Now I wasn't really watching the speedometer nor do I know exactly how fast the buck was moving through mid air but, I estimate the combined impact was somewhere around 100 MPH. As much as Chris hates to be woken up at 4:00 AM she really hates being woken up by the airbag smacking her in the face as it deployed. As much as I was hoping to kill a big buck yesterday morning this was not exactly what I had in mind, obviously. Understandably, she was quite upset, shaken up and scared :Bunny2:as we were on the side of the road, out in the middle of the country and out of cell phone range inspecting the damage to HER smashed up car. I was gonna try to put the dead humongous 8 point buck in the trunk but I couldn't lift it by myself and Chris wasn't interested in having anything else to do with that deer at that point in time. Being more concerned with her car than the dead deer, rightfully so. The damage to the car was pretty dramatic with a broken windshield, deployed passenger airbag, missing right front head light, crumpled hood and right front fender. But, fortunately the car was still drivable. The engine would run and it wasn't spewing radiator steam. So, we left the dead deer on the side of the road and rode on to the property. I couldn't blame Chris for not wanting to go hunting after all of that, but, since we were there I figured what the heck. Chris went back to sleep in the camper while I went hunting in time to miss a shot at a 300 pound wild hog. Later in the morning John, his son Jesse and I went back to the scene of the accident to retrieve the deer. But, to my disappointment someone had seen the humongous dead buck roadkill and had claimed it for their own trophy wall. Since Chris' car was close to the end of it's economic life. She had opted for liability and uninsured motorist insurance and passed on the comprehensive insurance coverage when time to renew her insurance policy. So, since the buck was an uninsured deer and not an uninsured motorist, Geico was not gonna be of much help. That being the case, first thing this morning, my son Clint and I were at Pull-A-Part junk yard in search of and pulling vintage Chevrolet parts. To my delight and surprise we found the hood, fender, headlight and airbag assembly all for less than $150.00. The two of us got out the tools and tore into the project like experienced and professional auto body shop mechanics.... which we're not. None the less, amazingly we got the unibody cross member perfectly straight by use of a logging chain, a gigantic pine tree and a quick joilt in reverse. By lunch time we were bolting on our new vintage Chevrolet parts. By dark we had the car back together as good as new..........almost. Except for the two tone paint job and the still cracked windshield. Since I know I'm gonna end up painting the car anyway I'm thinking ghost flames and maybe an airbrushed depiction of a dead Humongus eight point buck on the hood, or something else equally cool. I hadn't mentioned that part to Chris yet.

Congrats great garage. looks like a good place to work on bikes. Can you store all these first gen parts I haven't been able to sell?
