How do we get these set up so members can vote on the one that they choose for our official signature for our sight? Will you, (Freebird), be the one to take Care of that?
-
I am interested, would like to display our place. I am proud of this sight and would like to see it continue to grow.

Hay, Yama Mama, how about? I am not afraid of dying; but I am afraid of not riding!
-
how about? Riding motorcycle is next to being in heaven, I want to ride all the way there!!

Don't know if this is the correct place for this or the right way to mention this. Another member said that he liked my signature and that got me thinking about it. I thought that maybe a signature for our sight on the welcome page would be a good idea. Something that speaks for the way we feel about riding or what ever that catches the eye of members and perspective members. Maybe we could have a number of suggestions and then have a vote to chose the one members feel is the best or most appealing. I am willing to give mine up if it were to be chosen. What do the rest of you think?

Had the same problem with mine last year, bleed it out with fresh fluid and haven't had a problem since. -
CB info needed

you can do what I did, I run a separate antenna for the radio and one for the cb. If you unscrew the splitter from the cb a regular cb antenna wire will screw right on and then I run another antenna on the other side for the radio, it actually makes the cb work better. -

I was having kinda the same problem, What I did was to drain the carbs out the drain hoses, got a spray can of carb cleaner and sprayed back through the drain hoses until it came out the over flow tubs and then shut of the drain screws and let it set for about 20 min. drained the carbs and ran the fuel punp to flush gas back through. Seemed to help a bunch. Also found that I had one cylindar that wasn't firing, checked with a timing light and found no spark. I had put new plugs in about 4000 miles ago and one of them was bad. maybe check and replace the plugs.

This past year has had it's share of challenges. First, my job slowed down so I started a new job Sep 1st, after 11 years with the same place. 2nd, my oldest child died on Sep. 22. 3rd, my mother died 12 days later. 4th, I got carpel tunnel in both hands. 5th, I got laid off about a month ago. 6st, the one that is my own fault and probably the stuppedest thing I could have done, after quiting smoking 13 years ago while going through treatment for lung cancer, I started smoking again a few weeks ago. I can't believe that after 13 years, the first sig was like going to heaven, it tasted great. All I can say is if you have quit, don't have just that one sig, you could be hooked again.

That is something that I want to do, but got laid off and can't afford to do it now. Nice job

Cool Wish my wife liked to rid and wanted her own bike

Just started the bike, (1987 VR), for the first time this season and before I decided to put the new tires on, I took it for a ride. Wasn't running great and when I looked down, there was a fast drip of gas out of one of the overflow tubs. The back carb on the clutch side is overflowing and running gas out. Think it had started to cause trouble last fall already but not to the point that it is now. How hard is it to work on the one carb, can I just remove and repair the one or can it be repair on the bike? I run sea foam through my bike quite often so don't think that will help. What is the easyest way to try to fix this problem? Thanks John

Boy do I know what you mean. I just got laid off three weeks ago. I hate not having a job. I can meet my bills on unemployment but not much left over. I didn't make big money, $17.00/hr, had only been on the job for 7 months, that was after leaving a job I had been on for 11 years. The way the economy is, I could see taking a job at 10. to $12.00 /hr. Talk about hating your job, I hate the knots in my stomach from worrying about paying bills, how to take care of my family, medical bills and what will happen if I have to take a job at a hug cut in pay. Continue to hate your job, it is better than the alternative.
