Don't worry none Big Boy, we have those who can and will take over for you willingly. Actually, I'm somewhat glad that you are an abstainer, that leaves more for little olde me. Will you quit that checking business, some may think you're getting old or something. You know what happens when the pro's go to check things out eh? They will find something, otherwise they would not be needed anymore.

I didn't own any cars that I would want back again, but my brother owned one that I would really like to have in my drive. These things are rare, only made for the Canadian market and under the Ford line. The 56 Monarch is quite similar to the Merc, but there is plenty of differences. Stock was a 312 but I would like to have a 390 4bbl. The cost for me would probably put it out of reach though, seeing as the additional cost would be an addition to my garage or get rid of my bike, neither of which is going to happen anytime soon. The picture has the right color combo but I would like the 4 door HT.

I would be very interested in how you fare with the Kenda's. On Spyders, although they are OEM spec, a lot of riders will have nothing to do with them. For us there just isn't any wear life in them.

I think from what I can recall that you have now won the prize of being the first one to report such an issue. I've read about lots of clutch issues, but this is brand new, to me anyways. We would certainly be interested in what you find, and there will be lots of suggestions as to how to fix it if you want.

Good job Mike, and thanks Leo for posting.

Now if I got it right from the vid, you need to have the car, good looks, tanned hide, pretty girls, small bikinis, lots of gas, water and I probably missed a thing or two. Now most of the above I have or can get very easy like, all I need is the car!! I think. What do you think guys? wanta start a fund?

Had my 85 on a tar and chip road one day in Pen. and low and behold the oil light came on, checked the oil and kept on keeping on, but it's a bit dis-concerning having that light blinking all the time. When I got home sometime later I figured to get that thingy out of there and check it out. What I found was a small stone stuck between the 2 wires, I took that out and solved the problem. It doesn't make any sense to me at all, but there were no repeats of the issue and I didn't do anything else. Go figure.

I'm not going there!!

Sure is a nice looking scoot, can't blame him for holding onto the asking price, not that I would dish out that much for an 83 standard with no bling and a 2nd gear issue waiting to show up. I would think more like $1500 usd would be settleable.

Lookin real good!! carry on Mcduff! enjoy while you can.

ALERT!!! ALERT!!! ALERT!!! TO ALL CAMPERS!!! at the WNY rally. It seems that there is a threat to your well-being if you are camping. Not a real serious one, but one to be on the lookout for none-the-less. A bug has been noticed to be on the loose in the camp ground area and infestation is quite likely. This bug has not been known to propagate rapidly or even at all, but that has not deterred the efforts of it's attempting to worm it's way into your secluded area, namely your camper. Be advised that before entering your place of sequesterization you do an all around check for any intruders. Identification of the louse will not be hard and it should not be hard to dispose of it either. Check with Rockin Robin for the best methods to use, as she has much experience ridding her haunt of bugs much, much bigger than the one just discovered. One telltale sign of the subsistence of this infestation would be a green bottle with DEATH markings on it and possible a loud noise that might be assumed to be that of snoring. Big Tom also has some experience in dealing with such an affliction, so he might be a resource for information as well, although I am told that he has not been very effective with his methodologies, seeing as for him it has been re-occurring on a regular basis. If all else fails: Call the Pest Control, Bum's phone number is listed.

OK Jonas, what have you got to say in defense of yourself? As for me, I was really only mentioned once and I can take a little, but the paragraph previous seems to be all about you. Stand up for yourself boy! or the world is going to crash!!

Is that what does it?? then bring them on.......... here all along I thought it was the toilette seat.

Just to be informed: when releasing the brake handle the MC does not bring the pads back, all you are doing is releasing the pressure on the pads so that they no longer bind on the rotor. They will continue to contact the rotor to keep the rotor clean and dry. Now the continued compression of the MC is an issue, and has been answered already, and it's good to see that you are taking action in that dept.

Seems to me that you have 'upgraded'. What else have you done that you have failed to inform us about? Is this meant to be a tactical change? a change for the better? a new way of hiding from those who should know? or just a way of playing hard to get? I would think that 2 foreign emissaries being presented in a country foreign to their own, should be allowed a bit bit of diplomatic aggression in regards to their own foreignation, and not to be interfered with by a third party who has little experience in the dealings of international protocol and espionage or even in the consumption or wobbly pop or tippy heat. There is a real reason why gentlemen of great renown have moved their secret location to another place of slumber, but now that the cat is out of the bag on the location, the reason will remain on the vaults of the unknown legacy. Never will that be disclosed or even further discussed. On a further note, and trying not to be long winded as some like me to be, I would suggest that your attendance at this place of meeting, BS stories, hugging event, and low level intelligence would greatly improve your outlook on life that is here to live. Many have been those who have made the journey, many more wished that they had put it on their calendar so that they would not have forgot, and then there are those who have looked back at history in the making and said: I didn't think that this was going to be such a momentous international event, how did I manage to miss out on this fiasco. As in the words of somebody who is trying to make himself famous, really famous!: this is going to be a great event, a really great event, a truly great event.

The way I would approach this, is to take the rubber vac line that is showing with the yellow restrictor in it and attach it to the tube that is circled. That is the way my 85 was set up, might be the same for yours. Try it, and if it works then all is well.

Need to know where you two are staying, I like to be forewarned.

The Fool knows what he is talking about. He has it all put together and knows where to find the proper ingredients. Give him a bit of time and keep an eye on the weather forecast. When the time is right and it happens as planned by the Fool, (who ain't no fool) then we get to sit by the fire, drink rum or whatever, look out the window for a bit and then go snuggle under some blankets to let the world pass away. The reason for such relaxation is that if you were to attempt to enter the great outdoors you would not appreciate it a whole lot, for everything that you would expect to reveal itself to you would have been taken away. Just a short walk to the back yard to do what we don't mention, but starts with the letter P, would end you up at the neighbors house, maybe, for finding the way back to your own door would taken away from you, even your tracks would be obliterated. You would be best to tie one end of a rope to the door handle and hang on to the other so that you could return from your destination, It's also not a good time to sit outside to drink a beer, for although the beer would be cold for sure, it might not be very liquid and so you would have to design a new way to get it down the hatch. It's not often that the Fool gets it perfect, but when he does,,,,,,,,,it's something to be experienced. And that's the reason we have 4 wheel drives!!!

If it were me that had that scooter, I would pull the shock, rebuild it and seeing as I would be soooo close to the swing arm, I would take that unit out and lube it and put in some grease zerks. Then I wouldn't have to worry about anything in that department for quite a while, or at my age maybe never no more.

Just so that you are aware, your angel will only fly at posted speed limit. Just because we don't pay attention doesn't mean that the angel can't read and they are to behave themselves or they wouldn't be angels. So when you go over the speed limit,,,,, you're on your own.

So what are friends for? We help out where we can,,,,, and then some, if it gets the mojo going.

What is an 8 track?

Oh crap, and next week I'm all tied up. So sorry to miss out on Robin, or was that the other way around. Now what was it you wanted help with again?

Just one of the reasons we got the Spyder, all cooling heat goes out the front and not towards the rider, kind of a nifty idea, and I like it. As for the blizzards? bring them on!!

I'll be right over, hey! I got two days with nothing on the plan as of yet. So where is it that you live? got to be within 1 hrs ride or else! and I got to know if Robin is home, if she is then I'll have to consider some more. All kidding aside, would love to come and do it for you even, but maybe better not.
