  1. I have made a few experimental coils to see how this works. Next is to set up a breadboard for testing.
  2. And we all know that "Da Bears still suck" [ame]http://youtu.be/Tj5aW0tj3mE[/ame]
  3. I say pretty lousy camera work........
  4. You could just swap out the gears with the shims and it will function as long as it is not binding. BUT, you really should go through the lash adjustment procedure to do it right. The shims, and the lash adjustment procedure are to make up for the manufacturing tolerances of all of the parts. If the lash is not right, it could cause gear noise at best and/or increased gear wear and/or failure at worst. On the other hand, you could get lucky and the shims would be right.
  5. Haven't thought of that one. I'll bring that up tomorrow if I see him out. I have my donor card signed.
  6. Well I just finished brewing my first test batch. I have a feeling it will not be around long.......
  7. Overnight is enough time to start to make a difference.
  8. Any Fog lights on your 83 are not stock. So you can put on anything you like. I have the KChilites series 35. I have them on my truck and my bike. they have a 23 year warranty that even covers the bulbs. They are focused between a driving and a fog light with an emphasis on lighting up the side of the road. I can not even guess how many deer I did not hit because of these lights.
  9. For desert tonight I have rum balls with an apple pie wash..... I do have some (but not many) manners. Come on up.
  10. Neighbor is around 6'4" and 200lbs. He does not even have a MC learners permit, (says he don't need one:doh:??????) he paid cash, may not have insurance either. I don't know if there is an insurance co that would even cover that combo.
  11. I am mixing up a batch of apple pie as I type. Hows that for a suggestion?
  12. I was surprised that with all of the issues that I had on the way home from MD, not one single biker even asked if there was anything they could do to help me out. I was in a rest area with parts of the bike scattered all over the parking lot. There were many bikes of about every brand and style bike that stopped at the rest area and just walked past looking but not saying a word.
  13. I have a Coleman that has been going camping for 15+ years and no leaks yet. I use it in the woods sometimes on bare ground, sometimes in a tent, sometimes in the back of my truck, and sometimes even on a nice carpeted floor in someones house.
  14. I am tempted to go to the dealer and talk to the salesman and/or manager. I did give this article to the neighbor with the parts highlighted about being for very experienced riders. http://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/suzuki/2013-suzuki-hayabusa-gsx1300r-ar148448.html I can only hope it gets through his thick skull before a curb does.
  15. He is a youngster of around 40 that knows better than an old man. He felt the salesman knows a lot more about bikes than I do. At least the salesman did talk him into getting a good matching full face helmet and armored jacket.
  16. My next door neighbor has been looking at my bike a lot and decided to go out and get himself a bike. He has NEVER ridden before. The salesman convinced him that a 2013 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R is a great first bike. All of that extra power makes it easier to learn how to use a clutch.:scared: I am trying to talk him into taking a MSF course. He does not feel he needs one. After all he made it home in one piece. It took him more than 10 starts just to get it parked, He kept killing the engine every time he tries to let out the clutch. I fear this will not end well.
  17. I don't like the comment that it could be made to run smooth but they decided to keep some vibration. It still only has half as many cylinders as needed, and no radiator. Even Harley is seeing the light and going water cooled.
  18. If at all possible, store it with ethanol free gas. In the fall I take a couple of 5 gallon gas cans up north hunting to bring back real gas for storing the bike.
  19. I want one.......
  20. It takes a good 24 hours for the anesthesia to completely wear off. Spayed is actually a pretty major surgery, they remove all parts of the reproductive system. It will take at least 6 months to completely heal. For the first week she will be very sore. Tomorrow she should be more willing to eat, but keep it light for at least the first day. The vet should have given you a sheet of post surgery instructions.
  21. I was just wondering if there would be anyone to meet for ice cream.
  22. I know we have a bunch of Harley owners on this site. I'm just curious if anyone from here is coming to Milwaukee for the 110th Harley Anniversary?
  23. Thanks I was going to buy a can just to experiment with, now I don't have to.
  24. Go for it. I can put up a big tent in my back yard for you......
  25. Another thought from left field. Would you save anything to just buy a used local bike when you get there and then sell it when you are ready to leave?
