  1. Our prayers are for you. Now that you have some time on your hands, get to know Him better and spend lots of time with Him. May He bless you and keep you, and let His face shine upon you.
  2. Maybe you have a 'pinched' wire going through the triple tree area.
  3. So a couple of things come to mind: -Don, are you leaving a day or two early for the International??? just in case? -Do we need to plan more MDs? Maybe about 1 a week,, 'then the crowd wouldn't be as big and it would be more intimate'. -Will it tow a trailer,, I mean, empty to start with at least? -Did they give you a 14 day money back guarantee, is that why you waited until now? Hope you like it,, it looks new, and clean at present.
  4. And here I thought that if things were going to change on this site, we got to vote on it,,, now he's out there, in wandering land trying to make up his mind on a new scoot,,,,,, that my friends could be a serious change to this site,,,, and so far I don't see any indication that we get a vote,,,, I PROTEST!!!!!
  5. If you have a confined area put in a bowl with Amex Ammonia in that area, they'll leave and not return.
  6. I'm moving this to 1st gen tech talk, where it belongs.
  7. You might be right,,, until it comes time for the insurance to pay for something, then they are going to claim the bike wasn't insured.
  8. No wonder I'm getting confused! Just when I think I got it all figured out, you guys change the rules.
  9. Good show,, now keep that scoot straight up or I'll have to give you some dropping lessons.

    bar

    Best take a good dose of seafoam.
  11. Ray ( Paysaw) is in Nova Scotia, close to Antigonish and has broke the clutch handle on his 84 Venture. Anybody around that can help him. Call 416*567.0055.
  12. And me,,,,, somebody remember little ole me??? I want to see the Rooster on a 2nd gen tooo you know,,,, that ought to be interesting,,,,, 'member when he showed up on a Wing,,,, Naw, you're forgiven Reiny, won't do that again,,,,,,
  13. Yep,, and I've heard that in some cases, mind you only in SOME cases the Americans had to turn down our offer of a certain product because the size was too large for our southern neighbors. We did send them a medium but it seems even that was too large to fit proper.
  14. I love the look of your location. To help your ride up,,, or down,,, stand up on the pegs, lowers your center of gravity and after you done it once or twice you'd be wondering what you was so worried about.
  15. Cows and steel pipes don't mix too well, and neither does rain and vacations, but then we get both coming our way sometimes. Glad you had a good time, see you soon.
  16. I don't work on my bike too much,,, got tooo many others who are in need of a good ride, so I work on theirs,,, and have no problems with the heat. Feels good in fact, seeing as I worked in AC most of my life. Now when I'm finished, I do like the cool, and I do like snow better than dry grass.
  17. How do you know that all 4 gauges are reading the same. Gauges notoriously read different and you may have a bad one. Hopefully there is a way to check them against each other. I use a homemade tool with only 1 gauge,, I like it just fine. And yes, if your sync is a long ways off, it will effect your idle. That's why it's recommended to blip the throttle regularity during the process, better too often then not enough. What you are actually doing is adjusting the throttle linkage, so that all carbs operate as one unit. You could conceivably move the linkage in the wrong position temporarily and so misalign a part of the linkage, hence the need for working the linkage or blipping the throttle.
  18. No wonder the border guards are so particular when we come across the border,, they always want to know how long we are going to stay, and where we are going. I've never told them that I'm headed for Washington, and never told them that I'm staying for long.
  19. Awe come on, let Brad have it, I'm sure he'll take good care of it. And yes, we could put up a donation can at the IR for SAF donations,,, good idea.
  20. Dano's mod is the way to go, no more problems. You can do the work with just basic tools, nothing fancy needed except the puller and that's a whole lot cheaper than a mechanic, but buy a good one, it's got to take some stress. Some of the balancers, come off quite easy, some are little harder and mine took a week to decide to come off. Finally was persuaded to move from it's spot with a 2 lb sledge and a heavy punch to wake it up to the fact.
  21. Take the old fuel line with you and match it up, just buy enough to make a bigger bend at the fuel pump and you'll be fine.
  22. As Bob indicated they are mostly 8mm with washer heads, but they also use shoulder washers so that you don't squeeze the crap out of the fairing. I think there are 3x8mm per side and then there are some smaller Philips head stove type bolts to help out, in addition there is room for some Phillips head screws as well. All told you will be using 3 different type screws until you get to put the top piece on, the pieces that hold the radio and class control, then you'll need screw type #4.
  23. You don't get things together right using that stuff,, best use Fluid Film.
  24. I LOVE digging ditches,,,can watch it for hours!!!
