  1. Seems to be missing something??????????
  2. Looks like somebody didn't spend anything on it, and ow wants you to pay him for the neglect,,,,,, look elsewhere, or offer to take it off his hands for $500.00,,,,, that's 500 in your pocket, not his,,,,,, my guess to get it into pretty condition is over $3000.00, not including labor. Forks 100 springs 100 tires 300 fluids 50 gaskets 100 swing arm bushings and bearings 200 paint 200 tune up 50 carbs 100 brake pads 200 caliper kits 100 clutch cylinder kits 100 master cylinder kits 50 steering head 100 wheel bearings 200 plastic repair 100 Well that puts us at about $2000.00. Add some for incidentals and your on the way to $3000. Take off the $500 he gives you, and you're in the right price bracket for the scoot, but you did all the work,,,,, a good feeling I suppose. My prices are all approx... some over, maybe some under, just wanted to show how easily it gets spent.
  3. Rats,,, missed out on that did I ????????????
  4. Ya got to do what you got to do. But just to let you on in a little secret,,,,, all you need to do is provide a place and time,,,, the rest takes care of itself,, if it can be done, it will be done, and if nobody knows how to do it, then at least we have something to talk about. Maintenance Day isn't just for keeping up the scoot,,, it's more importantly in keeping friendships in place and personally being able to keep certain folks in line. Just so you know. Carl
  5. I know this has been said in lots of other threads, but if we are going to make a special thread for this (and I think that is a grand idea)................ Thanks Eileen and Don and Don and Eileen, for: letting us use: your toilette your kitchen your yard your pond your driveway your tools your garage your back yard your living room your satellite your scoot,,,, just to ' pi** you off ' (Somebody had to do it) your porch and providing: the food drinks website t-shirts clear weather And most of all, just for being you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. Thanks Al,,, it's nice to see where it all started. I can still even recognize some faces.
  7. Guess his Maker didn't have his room ready yet. We will also keep him in our prayers, as well as his family. carl
  8. So I screwed up again,,,,, and now to make amends with my one true love,,,, (yes I have only one,,,, Surprise you Joey?) I'm now posting the correct email, so you all can congratulate her for being married to me for 40 years,,, plus 1.5 years of courtship,,,, I tell you, my woman has endurance, and fortitude,,, and patience,,,, and 14.5 grandkids. WOW:happy65::happy65: marcanorg@yahoo.ca I had said .com, but that was wrong,,small thing, but somebody caught it, I would have thought that yahoo would be able to fix such a small issue,, but no, they didn't.
  9. First time I found this thread, I was jealous of Marca who was getting face book updates, but now I'm in the loop,,,, finally. Looks like you guys are having a super time,,, keep us posted and stay safe.
  10. Darn pond monsters got out after all. Way to be a detective Al, guess the ladies need to do a better job next year. Amazingly it didn't break the camera!!!!
  11. Awh, I just let her go, might be back next time and she might be present as well,,, and I do like food!!!!!
  12. Good to hear you made it ok,,,, so you do have your angles as well!!!!
  13. Now if there would have been some ice cream,,,,,,,,, it would have melted on the spot.
  14. That's mostly because these bikes are not for sitting at stop lights,,,, avoid them like the plague,,,,, they need an open highway to run,, and run,,, and runnnnnnnn. Actually, listen to Squeeze, he's usually dead on.
  15. I'll bet she's just a little wore out from chasing the boys all weekend!!!!
  16. Didn't get to see enough of anybody this weekend,,, even got there sooner and stayed somewhat later,,, so maybe we have to make it a week long event,,,,, nah, I'm too old for that, wouldn't be able to take all the excitement for that long,,,, guess I'll just have to keep coming for more years. Thanks Eileen and Don, It's been another SUPER GREAT MD Carl
  17. They are being looked after real well,,,,, least I suppose so.
  18. Marcarl

    Consensus

    Marca mentioned that this is being done on another site somewhere,,, it's interesting, so you are riding by the way of Fort Erie of course so I can find them???/
  19. Better tell them that I'm coming, most like to be ready when I show up,,,,,, don't know why that is,, maybe they have a special corner for me or something.
  20. Darn, he left and forgot all about the ice cream,,,,, darn dog!
  21. Looks to me that you could use a heavier impact, so that the impacts from the gun are more positive. You could also try to tighten it once and then spin it loose, but the broom handle trick should works as well, maybe even with your light impact.
  22. I wouldn't call it a dinghy, he's too old to be playing with a dinghy,,, don't know what you would call it now that he's been at it with a Roto Zip,,,, probably won't call it anything, because it wouldn't come anyways.
  23. Carl won't be able to make this week,,,, another meeting,,,,, but that's it, no more of those until Sept.
  24. We really won't have much time to go out to do 'fun' stuff,,,, 'course we could rent a trailer, get a ramp and put Swifty's bike on it while we do some ' maintenance '. We could have V-Goose doing some electrical, Dingy work on the clutch, Rick fixing the seat, Don changing tires, Big Tom sitting on it to keep it up-right, Bongobob putting on some lights, Beer30 with a cooler to keep things lubricated, YammerDan to steer the driver away from obstacles, E-fishin-C to keep things from being rear ended, Brad-T to make sure things are tightened down properly, Squidley could do a carb tune, oh no, that wouldn't work, we'd need to bigger a trailer, forget about the carbtune,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Alright I said enough.
  25. Big Tom is already bringing a boat load I'm sure,,, sent me a message 'asking' if I wouldn't please leave earlier and meet up with him so as that we'd have more room to ship more of the good stuff to Oberlin Hey but in this case More is Better
