I may be raciest, I only do WHITE Christmases.

And a Merry Christmas to all.

DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION!!! You mean I am now lumped in with the likes of @Yammer Dan and @cowpuc? OH OH I Hear it again. The words are stuck in my head............. "I'm Dreaming of a white.... Christmas.......... Just like the ones I used to know................"

OOPIE!! Sorry Bossman Swinging north and east. It may still take a bit for what is already launched to finish falling. Yes it is pretty, I love it when everything is clean and white. Now you are just dreaming. I can reach Florida, Arizona, Even Cali. Last winter there was snow on the ground in ALL 50 states at the same time. The location of the components is highly classified, Not easy to find. If it should be found, there is a significant defense system in place, I have many formidable weapons including jets and rocket powered aircraft.

I would not be nervous, failed drive trains are not a common issue with the Ventures.

That is the fun part that I have been looking forward to. I like fabricating stuff.

That back yard is beautiful. I sure wish they all could look like that.

1; I have been pretty nice so far this year, like you I do have some character flaws, one of which is that if I get accused of some thing and have to take the heat for it, and it sounds like it might have been fun, I sure am gonna make sure that I am guilty since I am getting the abuse anyhow. Might as well earn it.

The Faux tank grommet is really hard to find. I split a piece of vacuum line lengthwise and glued that around the opening in the frame and it has worked perfect for the last 50K miles. Which antenna for the royal, CB or radio?

So glad to hear that this part is finally over and with a positive outcome. We will be in Greenville on Christmas day, We will wave to you as we go by.

And even worse is that we might not even have a white Christmas. The big snow that was promised for Friday is now going to be 40°F RAIN. Even more Bah Humbug..............

Did you ask what they are testing for?

I live in a rough neighborhood and very close to the high school. I have had a lot of things grow legs around here. I have thought about rigging up a package with an ignition coil. 25,000 Volts will get the attention of most people. But then I will have to invest in a security camera system.......... I am not sure about the legality of firing off a shotgun primer in the city.

My New Primary Care Physician Love this Doctor Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: Oh no. Wine made from fruit. Brandy distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Bottom up! Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one.. If you have two body, your ratio two to one. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of single one, sorry. My philosophy: No pain...good! Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food fried in vegetable oil. How getting more vegetable be bad? Q : Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Oh no! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: You crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around! Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming good for figure, explain whale to me. Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is shape! Well... I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!" AND..... For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies. 1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. 4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans... 5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Feel free, just make sure you don't let the cat out of the bag....................

My girl has learned real quick to not ask any question that she does not want an honest answer to. Sometimes the truth hurts, and that can make me painfully honest at times.

Don't check the pies with your fingers after it has been running for more that about 15-30 seconds. It will be really hard to clean the burnt on skin off of the pipes while your hands are all bandaged up.

You can't lie to a dog, they can smell a lie with that amazing nose. I just tell the dog I am going out and "I'll be back" If I say an hour she will expect me back in an hour. She would let me know if she was POed at me. There is no problem telling the wife I'll be back in an hour, She knows that I can not tell time............She even knows that the only place that that is open on weekends and sells "motorcycle gas" is 50 miles away..................

The other tip on that cover is that you MUST use a gasket. If you try to do it without the gasket using just a gasket maker the starter will not work, it NEEDS the gasket thickness for proper clearance of the starter gears. Then on the middle gear cover do not forget the copper washer on the bottom bolt or it will leak oil every time.

I could be wrong, but I have never heard of a direct fit spin on oil filter for the 1st gens. Using an adapter is the only way I have ever heard of it being done. Designing and making a spin on adapter is on my list of someday projects.

:sign yeah that: Hopefully he is just being kept busy shoveling the that has been falling on him................

Welcome, careful these old bikes can be addictive......... Yes you will need a gasket to get to the clutch. Odds are that your clutch is fine, It is well documented that the clutch spring gets weak from old age, not from miles driven. When the spring gets weak the clutch starts to slip. The other common thing that will make a clutch slip is using the wrong oil. Any oil that contains friction reducers will make the clutch slip. I do not know about a CK2300 clutch as my original factory clutch is still just fine at 75K miles. My diaphragm spring was replaced with a better one at 40K.

Are you asking just the shop bill or does that include all of the parts that you sourced and bought for the shop to install?

Well they copied everything else on the hardley......................

Feel free to swing by here for a visit on your way to wherever you may be headed. I may try my M&E in March again. Ya know, I did not make it up to deer camp in the U.P. this year due to my foot. Normally while up there I weld that Canadian back door shut using unobtainium welding rods. It usually takes them at least a few weeks to get it opened back up. It seems they now have that thing swung wide open already. Then there is my end, well sometimes I just can not resist an opportunity,,,,,,,,,,well most times I can not resist an opportunity. I could explode if I try to resist.
