  1. That being said. Optimum MPG is also achieved by keeping everything tip-top right down to the air pressure in the tires. A free running motor is a thing of beauty. Although I haven't done the carb shimming because I am happy with my MPG it sounds as if it seems to help the most by what is wrote on here through the years.
  2. The only time mine made popping sounds is when there was a exhaust leak. Now, question, was it popping before the carb sink? If not I would question the competence of the job and maybe a redo.
  3. It does seal out moisture if nothing else.
  4. Glad you sold it fast enough for you. As far as Facebook is concerned never had it never will. Zucker can stuff it with his over reaching intrusive website. It has caused more harm than good in my family and others.
  5. The only non tipping bike is a 3 wheeler in any configuration. Myself I'm still waiting for this venture.
  6. A stinkie job if there ever was one. Try some Vicks-Vapo rub under your nose. It helps with the smell.
  7. Happy belated birthday. Your granddaughters are good help in blowing out all those candles. Good looking brood except for that older guy in the middle.
  8. We rode the Skyline drive which turns into the Blue Ridge Parkway about 6 or7 years ago. If you can, try to time it when the Mountain Laurels are in full bloom. They were a little past there full beauty when we rode it but it was still beautiful. There were places that were nothing but flowers on both side and hanging over the road for quite a while along the road. If its cool riding maybe this beautiful spectacle will enthrall your significant other enough to keep her riding.
  9. Congratulations Carl. She has more hair than you.
  10. Now you done it PUC. If I buy this bike I'll have to leave now in order to get to were I"m going.Citycom 300i (2010) But I'll be comfortable.
  11. That is funny no matter who you are! There are all kinds of good ideas to help you fix this S*8ttE job so I will not add any more. But I have to ask You to NOT leave your snow Machine unattended. 3 inches and counting,SHUT it off! Please.
  12. Stumbled across these guys. I've got a new band! This tune is now in my head forever.
  13. Thank god I'm a country boy. No such bs going on here. Gimme five minutes with that car thief judge! Don't worry I know were he lives.

    I would have to say you've already done it. Your glowing assessment would be enough to keep me away. :buttkick:Nothing like paying money to be frisked by thieves as far as the confiscating knives goes. The country has gone crazy with rules and laws. 3.2.1.
  15. Is he allowed to receive any mail Dan? Maybe a few postcards from this group of misfits might cheer him up.
  16. Congrats again on the granddaughter. The meaning of grandfather is "Second Chance". I have 5 grandchildren out of them only one granddaughter. I tell her she is my best granddaughter. This joke is well worth it every time just to see her smile. OOPS! Open mouth insert foot. Congrats on GRANDSON!
  17. I've never seen that color in person. Seen plenty of blonds and lots of blacks but never the red. Looks good your defiantly turning it into a labor of love. I still miss my 83 but moma needed more room for more rocks.
  18. Out of the ashes rises a Venture {with cheese}. You done good.
  19. Modifying for the Turbo or the Nitrous? Or just couldn't leave well enough alone?
  20. Say what!!!! To cut the plastic on a brand new bike to make it more functional or relaxing? Being able to occasionally move one legs to another resting point is a must have on a touring bike especially if you ride the super slabs any. I hope you can tailor your bike to your ergonomics without to much re-engineering.
  21. Now you've done it. Another thing to do. Your ruining my depression time by making me spend more money. I gotta quit coming here so much its really trying to entice me to do something constructive. That is depressing. So now I'm looking at helmets, there are so many choices........... I give up for now, gotta go for coffee and BS.
  22. Pick it up Dan . Clean out a spot in the middle of the catch-all spot, roll it in there, carefully cover it with whatever for a few days. Invite her out and start the conversation all over again with her on how you would like a trike or something along those lines to ride. While shes there let her look your piles over for awhile until she says "You don't need a trike I think I see something in your junk piles that would work". You non-nonchalantly walk over and say "I think your right honey". Now she's happy that she found it for you and it didn't cost her a thing and your the winner! WIN, WIN!!!
  23. I bet over the top. That way it becomes saturated with oil faster as it goes through the roll.
