    After the ribbing I got before your post, I was afraid to come back and see what was new...but alas... at least somebody took the serious side. of course, I'm not totally serious neither...

    Maybe a little "technical" for some but with the following info, you can create a boot CD that includes various "utility" apps, including a disk cloning tool .... http://www.runtime.org/peb.htm The Bart PE is the one you want. There are other free utilities on the net for creating a boot CD. Here's a free utility for Imaging/cloning ... http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm

    I've been noticing lately that posts seem to be bordering or crossing the line of "PG rated" .... what happened? Did we drop that rule?? Or am I just getting overly pikky in my old age and imagining this?

    I just bought a Seagate 1TB external drive...didn't come with Acronis. I will say though, that I use Acronis True Image software at work for all my backups, for creating images of workstations and servers, and for the odd time I have to clone a hard drive. It works great!

    Story in our local newspaper today... -------------------------------------------------------- As the baby boomers continue to age, the 55 to 64 age group will increase by 30.3% or 9.5 million persons, more than any other group. The 35 to 44 age group will decrease by 5.5%, reflecting a slowed birth rate following the baby boom generation, while the youth population, aged 16 to 24, will decline 1.1% over the 2006-2016 period. -------------------------------------------------------- Statistics point to more and more "touring bike riders". One would think that such companies as Yamaha would be in tune with that and design/develop bikes for the "now" market. I believe we will see a completely redesigned touring bike from Yamaha. It may not go by the name of "Venture" but it will be a touring bike in competition with Honda, BMW, Kawasaki, Victory, and Harley and don't be surprised if Suzuki joins the race.

    Not necessarilly (but probably). I have 2 drives on my home PC. One I use as my main drive running Vista. The other I use to play with different OS's. The main one is SATA and the other is IDE. I erased the partition on the IDE drive, disconnected the SATA drive and did a WinXP install. As I've done this a zillion times, I never paid a lot of attention to the text on the screen while it was setting up the drive and formatting it.... only later on I noticed that it set it up as H: drive. There was no C: drive connected per se` ... just the IDE hard drive. I think the process might have recognized my card reader's "virtual" drives first and then picked the next available drive...that being the H: drive. Had I noticed this, I would have done the drive letter assignment before the setup continued. Oh well... H: drive... C: drive... it's all "relevant". I've had this happen before, a long time ago. I was able to successfully replace all instances of the wrong drive letter (in this case H in the registry with C: and re-define the active drive's letter to C: and reboot ... and everything worked and my drive was C: again. I would not recommend this to a novice tho. BTW, those "recovery" partitions that Dell puts on are not recognized as drive letters within Windows.

    I used a soldering gun with a flat-tipped end. I had some major cracks in the bags and trunk on my '87 ... welded them up and filled any gaps with ABS 2-part epoxy. Sanded that smooth... a bit of primer/filler, a bit of spot putty where needed and it was fine.

    For those who don't know, the "hosts" file is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc If you go to Start | Run and type in "drivers" (without the quotes) and hit Enter, it takes you there and you just have to open the "etc" folder. You open the hosts file with notepad. If you are running any spyware such as Spybot S&D, you will see a lot of entries in there.

    Most oils we refer to are Motorcycle Specific. Some are diesel such as Rotella and a few are regular engine oils. We try to stay away from the ones with "friction modifiers" or "energy efficient" (I think that's correct... guys...?? straighten me out if I'm wrong) I've used just about everything. One would think I was female the way I keep changing my mind on which oil to use ... :rotf:

    so... do I drink it or rub it on my body??? :rotf:

    We run all XP here at work. We bought 30 new PC's last spring as business has increased (we now have 75 workstations). Those new ones came with Vista with an option to downgrade to XP so that's what I did. We will stay with XP for as long as possible before we upgrade. No real reason to change OS. My home PC runs Vista Home Premium and for the little amount I use it, it will be a long time before I upgrade to Win7. No reason to spend the bucks on that when I can put it towards more SAFETY CHROME for the scoot

    Thanks for the feedback Goose. I did exactly as you suggested (before I even read this). The plug threaded in as it should and there was little to no slack. I had bought a new plug and it came with a fibre washer (the first one didn't come with anything) so I removed the nylon one and used the fibre one. I also used a liberal amount of thread tape on all joints as well as replaced the compression sleeve at the oil line. Now as soon as I get my clutch back together I can test it.

    Thought about the "big nut" idea too ... may explore that but... dang.... the idea of a drill press has me all excited LOL ... I can get one at Canadian Tire (on sale) for 90 bucks. The drill press comes with a vise apparently. I know I can use it for other things...had many times wished I had one. http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/6/Tools/3/StationaryTools/DrillPresses/PRD~0555509P/Mastercraft%2B10-in.%2BDrill%2BPress%2BWith%2BLaser.jsp
