K-Rider Posted December 21, 2014 #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.
cowpuc Posted December 21, 2014 #2 Posted December 21, 2014 AWESOME STORY AND AWESOME PICS K-RIDER, THANKS FOR INCLUDING US IN IT ALL!!! Let ya in on a little known trade secret on motivating the DragonRider guy,,, bike on stand - lay out the tools - stand behind tree and say "hey Fozzy Bear,, mind taking a look at my bike",, guaranteed that'll perk em up and instantly cause em to become focused!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yammer Dan Posted December 21, 2014 #3 Posted December 21, 2014 Do a pat down on him before he left???
K-Rider Posted December 21, 2014 Author #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!!
Eck Posted December 21, 2014 #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...
DragonRider Posted December 21, 2014 #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.
DragonRider Posted December 21, 2014 #8 Posted December 21, 2014 Mine is shrinking.............but still have a few good useable parts for 83 and up, plus some Goldwing parts............... LOL My pile just keeps growing......
Yammer Dan Posted December 22, 2014 #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.
