  1. If your metal is 2 inches to long you could maybe add another gutter board, building it out another inch and a half with that?
  2. The condition of the Pope bike and that blue Henderson were amazing.
  3. Found out today they plan on him not using that leg for the wext three monthes. That brought him down some. Also got the total at 18 units of blood they put in him
  4. I have been sitting in ICU with my son for the last 5 days. The only thing kept me going was getting to see some pictures of the progress. Well I guess I might as well go have my breakdown now. He's doing real good. just a hard sense of humor.
  5. He had has third surgery today. They are mostly just going back in to check for more dead muscle and check for infection. He's a tough lil cookie. He's also starting to get real mad at his self. He's doing pretty good now and joking alot. They are just keeping him there now because of having someone closer and and more available to check his wound vac and blood levels which are going up on there own now. Tomorrow they are going to have him stand and move on his own. Thank you for the prayers and well wishes Now since I have not had time to look on the computer let's go see if I see if there is any new pictures of Dan's garage.
  6. Thank you everyone. Wanted to post something Thursday through my Iphone but it wound not let me type in the message area. He has had 14 units of blood now and is scheduled for another surgery tomorrow. He has been alert and good spirits this whole time. little more muscle damage now then we orginally trhought. He is swelling alot right now. But from his attitude you would never guess this bad an accident. I came home last night for the the first time since wed morning. Im heading back up there now. Thank you to everybody and their prayers and wishes. He has made the joke about building a shifter cart now maybe.
  7. Sounds like it will cost a marriage if you dont take it. Will the dealer charge 50% of everything you own?
  8. Some use Traverstine? looks like a fine sand yet very light. I perfer the styrofoam balls. Just dont install either on a windy day. I would just fill them with concrete.
  9. Friends Bought an 84 700 ltd Kaw. Nice bike good size "town bike". It would not start after stopping by for a visit. Ending up taking him home after giving up on jumping it off going down the drive way. well, decide to give a once over and see one exhaust port alot hotter then the others and say let me check the carbs later. Open the carbs and they are clean as can be. but when I flip them over to look at the float level before dissassembly realize one float is upside down. Call it a night and go home and this morning it pops in my head 3 were upside down and one right. Explains why it ran so long without the tank on. Any one every find stuff like this in their lives? But other question is when attemting to jump it off going down the drive way and popping the clutch it just dragged to a halt. So I got on for the next little hill and popped when in 2nd then all the way to 5th gear and it just drug to a halt with a catch and motor turning at the very end. I have not rode it and he is a little new to this and Im not sure how the clutch is. It is a shaft drive bike and all feels good. Anyone ever heard of this dragging to a halt? and Im not talking about the rear tire but some in the bike. Also after siitng a few minutes it fires right up. Never was hydro locked just flooded with a weak battery. Thanks all
  10. I want to see pictures of the Fairlane.
  11. I uswed to pay $10 a board hung and finished. That is 12 foot boards. If hourly,good, and effiecent I would pay $20 to a friend.
  12. When I make it back it will be on a weekday. Last ticket was near Robbinsville. 2004. Chased me from Wheelers to the foot of the hill. (several miles) Did not know they were after me and hit 120 easily several times. They started after me for passing on a double yellow. Luckily they were cool and only wrote it for 70 in a 55. Did not even put the passing on yellow. Of course this was NC state troopers. Most of the Dragon is in Tn and they are really trying to shout it down. PS. I sure miss that FZ1
  13. Wanted to try and make it myself but have been slammed. What did everyone think of Jacks resturant?
  14. Hardley, I believe you are trying to say Hardley. Years ago was working on a friends Camaro and mentioned a bracket or something that we needed and few days later it showed up. It was a chromed piece. Me hating chrome made the joke saying chrome won't get you home. He turned and quickly responded "No, but it will get you laid". He rides a Hardley now with alot of chrome and don't believe it is getting him any loving now.
  15. It will only end when there is no more cars or trucks or buses or taxis or semis or rickshaws even. We will always be the small ones out there, But at least we know it. Be safe out there.
  16. My son has one of those adapters with a cassette tape with the wire. The sound quality is as good as a tape of better probably, and you can use anything like an ipod like most of us or use an old walkman that plays cds.
  17. I feel it could last forever. Some of the clearcoats out there now are rock hard. I believe it may flex more then chrome too. I do wonder how it would do on pot metal as it pops over time? Maybe better than chrome? Paints and clearcoats well split loose from metal and look like a blister intead of popping like a zit as the chrome does.
  18. Unbelieveable. Some estamates are less then I figured. The Matchless cycles were alot less then I figured. Some neat reasonable bikes in there.
  19. How do any of you all plan on the ripfence still fitting after raising the deck height? I rip stuff all the time and never felt it was a real issue unless I am ripping stuff in the rain. (which I do all the time) I just make sure the saw is ancored down good so it does not tip over or slide.
  20. I was like half paying attention to the video til I seen that thing kick the first time. Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  21. Hey Mickey is that your black mark on the road?
  22. Welcome aboard. If you have to do any motor work you may want to go ahead and fix the 2nd gear issue. Standard or Royal?
  23. I recieved a coin counter and seperator. Two weeks ago I took off all my change. $254.64 but my bank takes my bucket and pours it in their big machine.
  24. Last guy I knew that talked that big was a concrete finisher.
