Happy Birthday! Have a great day! Don. Orlin and Sharon

20 below here for tonight and wind chills in the 30 below mark, but its looking better towards midweek up towards the 30's sure will be wellcomed. The towns around here are having everyone keep water runing so the mains and sewer lines wont freeze up. I have had to fix one water line so far been lucky. Orlin

Jeff I havent had a weekend off since the begining of December, Getting real tired of sliding aound in my 40,000 pound plow truck on this ice. Sure would like to see some sun and 30's we had better hope for a slow melt with over 6feet of frost in the ground, if it warms up fast now with all of this snow there is going to be alot of water heading south in a hurry. Maybe if we all go and buy a new snow shovel it will quit. Orlin

Dan must be making the move to start parting with some of those 1st gens and he will be telling us who the lucky winner is on Monday, he said it would be a 1st for someone and we know those 1st gens last a long time. Wonder if the winner gets to pick his or her prize 1st gen, I havent had a Brown one yet. Orlin

Sounds like you may still need to bleed it out somemore, how is the fluid level maybe you have to much, can make the lever pull hard. Orlin

That is a nice ride, See acouple of things I would like to do to mine. Orlin

I put a post on the Meet and Eats and it is on the calendar. Thanks Orlin

Great News:cool10:

Hope that what ever it is works out for the best, Dont have anything to ad that hasnt been said allready. Orlin

I didnt have to loosen the engine, sounds like you have plenty of parts to get it back up and on the road again, enjoy they are alot of fun to ride. Orlin

You can get the rear head off while still in the bike, I have done it on a 84 and a 87 it is alittle tight to get to a couple of the bolts but not to bad. Orlin

Get ahold of 920shrek1 [Ken] he used the controls off of a 2nd gen worked very nice. Maybe he will let you know just what parts you may need. Orlin

June 28 for the 3rd Annual Orlin's Maintaince Day, I have it on the calendar. Thanks Orlin and Sharon

Sounds like you got some build up in the screen at the end of the faucet, Have to clean mine out every 6 months or so due to our hard water with lots of lime. Orlin

I would use carb cleaner to help starting alot better for the motor than starting fluid. Orlin

The first gens I had as soon as they would crank over I would put the choke to half way or less to let them warm up, It would take a couple of minutes before they were warmed up. If it was above 50 didnt need much to choke them to start if any. Orlin

Merry Christmas to you and your family Don, Orlin

That was great I will have to have Sharon watch it also. Orlin

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Orlin and Sharon
