  1. Nothin' but a bunch of Fluff!! :banana:
  2. Well I guess we can let the poor thing out. Congrats to @dfitzbiz,,, Dave, Dave is patiently waiting for the lawyer to finish changing the title, and so in the process I was in the forgetful mode to post the results. I'm sure he will enjoy the ride once he gets her.
  3. 'Sounds fishy to me', but I haven't seen WD40 do damage to anything yet,,, so give it a go and let us know.
  4. Fool ain't fool enough to send a load our way, he knows we'll just send him more areas to cover, we just had a dusting this morning, maybe more on Sunday.
  5. It's always good practice that once you have made any adjustments to a screw to blip the throttle a couple of times to make sure everything is seated properly in it's new position, and then adjust again if necessary. I also like to clean and use a light lube on the linkage before I start so that might eliminate any hangups from dirt and stickiness.
  6. Not that it hasn't happened, but this is the first time that I have heard of that. I'm thinking that the shaft going through the stator cover got bent, so what I would suggest is to remove the stator cover and see what happens then. Check the shaft for true and any burrs and wear. It could be that a previous owner had taken the cover off and upon re-install got the knuckle of the shifter wrong ( it needs to be in the up postion) and then forced it together and in doing so, bent the shaft, or bent the shaft to make it fit. Maybe then later realized that the shifter worked backwards and then corrected the error and was left with a leak,, to which he said,,,, oh the heck and sold the scoot. Just my guess though.
  7. Thanks to all for coming out to this event: Becky for opening the door and being nice. Ed for showing up with the hauler and encouragement and help Jim for staying around to load stuff into the truck, and entertainment during lunch. Ben for being a mekcaneck and giving all around advice. Carl, for getting Ben there safely. Last but not least, Frogger for the hug. And all the others who didn't show up so we didn't have to deal with that as well. We had a good time,,,, I think, took about 2 hrs,,,, yah, Jim had stories to tell,,but Ed left with Blondie and all her worldly possessions. She certainly was a shopper, for all her extra paraphernalia took up all of the back of the pickup and then some. Ed will have a few days of entertainment trying to sort through it all. Becky now has more room in her garage and she found the door opener,,, it was on the other right!!
  8. Did it come with new tires?
  9. I had to wait for you to make sure it was safe, #244

    We could do that, but @saddlebum is somewhat directionally challenged, and getting lost is not one of the things he likes to do,,, especially when he's following a Spyder through unknown gravel territory.

    Just siting here with a wandering brain,,,, hope you and @saddlebum never get to have a meeting with me as the moderator,,, I would never get a word in edgewise!! I have no issue with what you said mind you, but doing all that typing and then translating it into speech and then figuring how much speeching that would be in the same time frame,,, I could get a nap in,,, I'm sure!!! On second thought???/ maybe it WOULD work.
  12. Hope it works out well for you this time,,,,,, does it have a beer fridge???

    You guys realize that I am reading all this eh? I just love it when good things get together. And HEY!! I'm not easily offended and as was said, I've seen more of what should be covered as well, so no skin off of my personal bones, and I'm also not trying to covert anybody. We also had some good dialogue and explanation of opinions,, nice to see all that happening without any stick poking. Annnnnd justsoyouknow,,, it took me a while to send out the PM for I did see the message that was intended, so had to let the thoughts dwell for a bit. THANKS YOU GUYS!!!

    Thanks for being understanding, and as for my opinion,,, yah, that has to do with not just myself but everybody else on this site as well. Not that anybody mentioned anything to me, it was just my thinking on the opinion of others maybe. You know, it's this kind of action/re-action that makes all you people my friends. I'm glad to be here!!!
  15. So you going to be there then??? If @saddlebum and I get to work on it then it could be an aldayer. You know how Ben is!!
  16. Good to hear that things took a good turn for ya. Hate to have you missing with that sno-machine,,,, hey, that keeps the entertainment up in the cooler season.

    Looks to me that they don't need no shaken,,, they be very much on the loose side a'ready. As I'm thinkin though, should we post such on this site? Family friendly. It was cute but maybe we can take it down? What'd ya thinkin' @SpencerPJ.
  18. Let's see,, Shadow 750cc,,, RSV 1300cc. Yep! sounds normal to me.

    Actually, I was just thinking about you the other day, and then the clutch slipped a bit, the brakes chattered some, and the headlight went dim, the battery lost it's charge and the signal told me to go to bed. When I woke up I was onto other things, until now. So the best to ya buddy, hope things work out in your favour or flavour, which ever works for ya.
  20. So the situation is this: Blondie has a rear wheel, she seems to be supported by the center stand, the rear wheel is totally loose but sitting close to where it should be. The rear shock is out but a new one is present, the needed bolts should be there somewhere, although I haven't seen them but have not looked for them either. I'm thinking that the best and easiest way to transfer her onto a trailer would be to put the shock back in and bolt everything back in place. Any thoughts? saddlebum Jayceesfolly, EtRider and I will be there around 10AM Saturday Nov02. Anybody else for this party?
  21. You need to check the inner tubes very, very closely for any imperfections, any pinprick and it will leak some more.
  22. Looks good, but doesn't sound at all,,,, did you forget the sound,,, it needs to have sound for us to hear anything!!! Maybe I'm just getting old.
  23. LD would indicate ZHEJIANG WANXIN RUBBER CO., LTD. in China. Just ran into this website, might be helpful or might be 'fake news' I can't vouch for it. https://www.tire-information-world.com/tire-size-calculator.html
  24. I think you are on to him Puc, he's trying to pull the wool over our heads with this idea of his and when he gets it tuned just right and kerplunks all that white stuff where he so desires he can blame it all on this thread and the ideas posted here. Maybe a mod should delete this thread just in case.
