I had this thought: Take one of the other caps off and look very closely, maybe even with magnification and see what marks the cap made on the ID of the aluminum. Then look at the one that is missing and see if you see the same marks. It may have been gone for some time. Not that that will help, but at least you will know something. For what it is worth. BTW, good title!

Holy Cow, now that's funny

Good news on your healing up Jeff, back in the saddle soon.

:worthless: Now this NEEDS pics for sure :missingtooth::missingtooth:

Welcome to the V-strom crew. I know that there are several of us here who ride them now. I know that this coming summer it is the bike that I'll be traveling on for sure. Got mine last fall and have been adding stuff ever since. Just got me seat back from Rick. Can't wait to try that out. Mine's a K-9 650 set up for traveling.

Yes, Diamond Back Tire made it for me. https://www.dbtires.com/

The silver paint really brightened it up. Looks great. Don't know why puc called it a RSTD though.

A good tool and die shop should have a hardness tester. My guess is that NO links are heat treated. However you can buy 1/4 hard, 1/2 hard, etc - metal.

Jeez, this is stock yamaha stuff, right? Not good. It's good that you found it now.

It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. Now go out there and have some fun! The fool will keep working to support us .

WOW, that is awesome

Just a heads up: I'd check with the park before you leave to see if any of the entrances are closed for some reason. I've run into this in the past.

Another great memory! Thanks Puc

good news Jeff, I'm glad to hear that!

I'm in, see you all there

I knew that "The Rest of the Story" was still out there. He's still out in OHIO someplace. He still has to get through HEAVY RAIN--HIGH WINDS--BLACK SKIES--HUNGER--THIRST--ENEMY FIRE--, wait a minute, that's another story. the best part is yet to come.

So what do you have 98 of that we can use?

Just as a note, Pork in the Pines is always on Labor Day weekend, which this year is Sept 5th.

Yeah, hearing that anchor chain go out and seeing him spin that big boat around was really amazing. Who wouda thought? And then seeing that LOP EARED VARMIT and Tip there when I rode off?????????????????? Cool!

Good luck Jeff, and come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen someone driving with their foot on the dash? That would be wieird, but then again-----------------------

Good!! I have been wondering if you every got someone lined up. It would be nice if you got him to take care of the snow removal for the winter

I knew that worthless stock seat was good for something.

Hey Boomer, good to see you again, and I was wondering whatever happened to those pygmies.

Happy New Year to everyone out there, and I hope you all have a safe 2016 riding season!

I'd check with these folks. They very well might know of volunteers or help doing things around your place.
