K-Rider Posted December 21, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 21, 2014 Lewis come over and gave me a hand on the Venture today. It was hard keeping him focused at times. And he keep saying something about being 12 years older then me. As you can see I had the hard part of taking it apart already done.... Here are a few pictures of Lewis helping out.... And here's one of me checking the gap on a spark plug the technical stuff. (Yes in the right light you can eyeball the gap..... Ok maybe not.) Lewis worked all day repairing this bike. He keep pointing out things that needed doing and then asked "Do you want to go ahead and fix it " Now Im not one to stand in the way of progress so I said "Lets do it" We put new plugs in...synced the carbs....rewired the accessories lights so they turn of when the bike is shut off.... and countless other things. And to top it off Lewis synced the carbs on a Ninja 250 that my son was working on. Thanks Lewis. You helped do some things I know that I couldn't have done. And thanks for spending the day with me working on it. I really enjoyed the day. Landon says thanks to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Rider Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted December 21, 2014 Believe it or not he left a plastic ice cream tub full of screws and small parts for me to use if I needed to.......wonder what that's going to cost? LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted December 21, 2014 Share #5 Posted December 21, 2014 That guy Lewis is one who can't be beat in lending a hand and giving to others. He is all heart!! He is an A-OK guy in my book, and he will always have a Thumbs up from me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonRider Posted December 21, 2014 Share #6 Posted December 21, 2014 Thanks Puc, not something "everyone" needed to know, so I will have to think of some kind of payback the next time I see you, Yammer, dont let my secrets out, thats how I got all those extra parts I left behind. Now when it comes to members who are not mechanically inclined, I thought that Wingman was it, but K-Rider running a close 2nd there..................... Thanks Eck, just paying it forward for all the help other members like yourself have been toward me. That little Ninja 250 was easy to sync, just had to have a super long screwdriver to get to the sync screw. It was fun Gene, looking forward to seeing it all back together, and by the way, thats the hard part, not stripping it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yammer Dan Posted December 22, 2014 Share #9 Posted December 22, 2014 I haven't been perking too good this year. Maybe time to start thinking what I'm going to do with all those things. I had plans. Father Time doesn't agree with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
