Yama Mama Posted October 6, 2007 #26 Posted October 6, 2007 Hey nice bike Dan, Ride safely. I am happy for you! Mama
MamaMo Posted October 7, 2007 #28 Posted October 7, 2007 For those that are wondering Yammer Dan and Frogman have the bike in the back of Frogmans truck and are spending the night in Hagerstown Md at the Super 8 than home to WV tomorrow.
bongobobny Posted October 7, 2007 #29 Posted October 7, 2007 So YOU were the lucky winner of that one, eh Dan!! Congratulations!! That ride puts Goldie to shame!! Hope to see it in person either in Kitchner or NC next summer...
halfwitt Posted October 7, 2007 #30 Posted October 7, 2007 I posted this on another thread but should put them here too. I met Dan and Gerald yesterday and helped them load the new ride. I'll let them fill you in on details. I think the seller was a Sonny Bono impersonator.
Freebird Posted October 7, 2007 #31 Posted October 7, 2007 Looks great in the pictures. I hope it is everything he dreamed it would be. Dan sure deserves it.
Squeeze Posted October 7, 2007 #32 Posted October 7, 2007 ... Sonny Bono impersonator. What's the meaning of such a Term ? Hey Dan, congrats on the new ride, i hope you don't break this one on getting the maroon Colour ridden off ..
dray Posted October 7, 2007 #33 Posted October 7, 2007 WOW! sure looks fast in the back of that truck:whistling: congrats dan nice looking bike enjoy and ride safe
Tommy Posted October 7, 2007 #34 Posted October 7, 2007 Dan....Really happy for your purchase...It's a first gen, that's all that really matters. I love the color and the doo dads...Keep us posted on how well she runs. Now we need a contest to name her, any takers??? think about it..
hipshot Posted October 7, 2007 #35 Posted October 7, 2007 What's the meaning of such a Term ? Hey Dan, congrats on the new ride, i hope you don't break this one on getting the maroon Colour ridden off .. squeeze. the meaning of the "impersonater" term, implies that he is trying to look like a late 1970's celebrity, later turned congressman,(i think). the duo of "sonny and cher", was popular here,in the usa, for a long time. google should tell you WAY more than you ever wanted to know about this guy! lol:rotf: just jt
Bummer Posted October 7, 2007 #36 Posted October 7, 2007 Congratulations Dan! I hope you two have many happy miles together.
Squeeze Posted October 7, 2007 #37 Posted October 7, 2007 squeeze. the meaning of the "impersonater" term, implies that he is trying to look like a late 1970's celebrity, later turned congressman,(i think). the duo of "sonny and cher", was popular here,in the usa, for a long time. google should tell you WAY more than you ever wanted to know about this guy! lol:rotf: just jt Thanks so much for detaling that 'Impersonator' Term. It is, what i was thinking. Of course i'm somehow old and know some of Sonny Bono's Story and his former Actions .... has he done anything else than playing the Piano, hitting Cher, complaining about the Fact that she got rid of him and keeping the Jack Daniels Destillery on Service ? I just can't imagine why in World anybody want's to impersonate such a Guy ... :rotf::rotf: OK, i also do not understand why anybody want's to look like Elvis Presley in his elder Years or Captain James T. Kirk or Worf or whoever else .... As for the Star Trek Guys, those are 'positive Persons' in my Opinion, but Mr. Bono has, sincerly, not so much Positives left in my Book.
Yammer Dan Posted October 7, 2007 #38 Posted October 7, 2007 Got it home!! FrogMan and I had a time unloading it with the Warden supervising. Got started on it. I have no doubt of the motor being good but carbs are worse than I thought. Slides are stuck very tight. Can't move them starting to take apart. More Later.
Squeeze Posted October 7, 2007 #39 Posted October 7, 2007 I bet you can find a good Carb-Set in the Stable ?
WilCruise Posted October 7, 2007 #40 Posted October 7, 2007 Got it home!! FrogMan and I had a time unloading it with the Warden supervising. Got started on it. I have no doubt of the motor being good but carbs are worse than I thought. Slides are stuck very tight. Can't move them starting to take apart. More Later. Sounds workable. A carb swap may be in order. Keep us posted.
Skid Posted October 7, 2007 #41 Posted October 7, 2007 I'm sure Dan knows where another set of carbs are at with new diaphragms. Sound like I better be looking for the "Maroon Monster" on the road soon.
Yammer Dan Posted October 8, 2007 #42 Posted October 8, 2007 Got slides loose need to get cleaner in carbs not wanting to take it thru fuel pump. Chokes are stuck. It has sat for a while
DragonRider Posted October 8, 2007 #43 Posted October 8, 2007 Dan, take your time and do it right, no need to rush riding season is just about over for you guys up north. Congratulations, you ought to recoup some of your investment like I did, by selling the do-dads you dont like on ebay............
MikeM8560 Posted October 8, 2007 #44 Posted October 8, 2007 Glad you got her home ok, so what is that keyboard on the left side Dan?
BuddyRich Posted October 8, 2007 #45 Posted October 8, 2007 DEEP CREEP. Seaform in a spray can. Spray in every hole you can find. Then check the fuel line for something living in it.
Yammer Dan Posted October 8, 2007 #46 Posted October 8, 2007 Keyboard is for horns that aren't working. He claims blown fuse in behind headlight. Still has regular horn that works. Will get into other one when it is running.
Yammer Dan Posted October 9, 2007 #47 Posted October 9, 2007 Finally got fuel pump to start taking fuel thru it. Drained carbs and filled with a mix of Gum-out Carb cleaner, Sea-Foam, Marvel Mystery Oil And about 1/3 fresh gas. Running out of time so it will have to sit for few days with this in it. It is hitting now and trying to start. Plugs are new but have had a lot of gas, carb cleaner and gunk ran pass them. May change before I try again. Would have been easier to swap carbs out but once I got started on them couldn't quit.
halfwitt Posted October 9, 2007 #48 Posted October 9, 2007 Good luck to you Dan. I'm confident you'll have 'er running in no time!
