It looks like the Druids have built another Stonehenge. Is that to mark the spot where the alien overlords will land their spaceships?

I had one of the Norinco 1911's which I bought a long time ago for a very good price. It was very well made and as accurate as the Colt 1911's. I recall a few competition shooters had them made up into target/race guns.

If I recall, there was a Factory ECO on the 2007's for improperly torqued head bolts from the factory. I can only recall one instance of this being an issue. But something to be aware of.

tell me where to send the file. pm me, email me, whatever.

I downloaded it. I sent you a email via this forum. Reply to my email and I'll send the User Manual to you as a PDF attachment.

If you need shooting supplies, Midway is just west of Columbia north side of the highway.

An '09 would have had a pillow seat.

NICE !!!

Nah! Real boaters use a paddle.

It looks like you did good. !

Looks like a week of almost solid rain due here in Georgia.

Lucky man. Treat her well ! Congrats.

A good locksmith can make the key for you from the keycode. In fact, keys made that way are better than ones made using the common key copy machine found in most hardware stores. And, despite what the ebay ad says, there is an all metal blank available, albeit, without the yamaha logo or black plastic head. There's a thread here somewhere that has the correct blank (non-Yamaha) part number. edit. From my spare key. ILCO X248 YM63 edit2: Ilco ym63, Taylor X 248, Curtis yn 63, Silca yh35r.

A couple of shots of the Black Death and you can just fall over and not notice that the world is sideways !

Now that's a pretty motorcycle.

Why are you standing on your head? You're not in Australia are you?

I think he's built a hot rod motorized bicycle using a battery powered drill as the engine. And then complains about lack of top end speed??? I think?

He's looking much better. Great news

Save me some.....

Its a good thing when you can walk away from a lesson learned...

The Clymer manual for my Vulcan 900 shows recommended maintenance up to 30,000 miles, and no mention of replacing the belt, just check and adjust if necessary. Here's a thread on a Victory forum where there was a poll taken on how long a belt lasted. http://www.victoryforums.com/36-victory-tech-performance-section/130946-how-many-miles-your-belt.html There were a number of riders claiming 100,000 miles.

Re: drive train lash I also just downsized, but jumped to a Kawasaki 900 with belt drive. Not much experience with belt drives yet, but they do need to be inspected and maybe adjusted periodically, per the Clymer manual I bought and the User Manual I downloaded from Kawa. 3,000km is just broken in ! But the way I read forums and the books, getting a rock caught in the belt can cause this kind of problem. My books show inspecting the belt for tears and wear, as well as the pulleys (called pulley instead of sprocket) for abnormal wear. The book calls for adjusting the belt to a certain amount of tension (which should take up any slack, if the belt and pulleys are ok). Experienced wrenchers on the Kawa forums say that if you don't have a tool that measures belt tension, that if you can 'just' twist it in the middle almost 90degrees and it snaps right back, then the tension is ok. I haven't tried this yet. I've not noticed any lash on my new bike, so don't think its a generic problem with belt drives. Do you know if the bike received its first service which should have been at about 1,000km? inspecting the belt should have been part of that. Was the rear tire changed for any reason?

A prayer sent.

Its early mushroom season, and I thought you were gone talk bout m'room caps??? hmm. carbon tracks.... thats a new one. I did watch the vid. Interesting.
