Yep,, I must of not pushed the button on my camera hard enough! That thing got super glue down inside its shutter release button a couple years ago after I dropped it on the road outwest, I repaired it and got it working fine except its shutter button is now kind of hard to work (not making excuses Raggy - just facts). Anyway, working on a way to redeem myself here @ragtop69gs!! What are you doing Thursday - day after tomorrow? I am thinking of hosting a Meet and Greet up at Houghton Lake, centrally located in Michigan so all of our friends from Michigan and Canada will all be driving about the same distance... You guys over there on the east side, even @Carbon One with his slingshot could ride up there and we could do a redo on your video!! Thursday is the only day we have open for a while because of the wedding coming up (youngest daughter getting hitched). Any chance it might work for you! I am buying everyone lunch if this works out!! What say you Raggy,, wanna shot a the title big guy?

Oh yea ya lop eared varmint @Freebird,, go back an click on the number 1 video!! Nah nah deee boo boo, better luck next time!!! And no about it having my pic on it (I am pretty sharp, I can hear those gears of yours doing there thing all the way from Ohio) either ya cause youtube picked the pics automatically!!

GOOD ONE JACK!! Never ever did know that brother!! You da man!!

My wanna swap the plug cap on 4 with one of the other plugs and see if the problem follows to that cylinder.. Just unscrew it from the plug wire. I have had caps go high ohm on me and cause really weak spark..

Yea,, what da heck,, may as well get the ol Water Hole back to normal and start pickin on the Fool now that we have all his Kick Stand plates I shoulda shot that goofy snow man at MD when I had the chance:178:,, and NO - I am not talking about "THE" snowman, talking about Frosty!! If you were not there you REALLY missed seeing frosty - that Fool even made him out of unmeltable snow!!

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN - I FOUND IT @Gary N. !!!!! I had forgotten to change the title to the "get well yammer dan" title and it got sorted into the assigned youtube label!! I apologize to you and Mary for the oversight on my part!! I am on my way to edit the thread and your well wish to Dan will be right at the top!! Raggie,, I still havent located yours, you sure we did one? If we didnt I am sorry I missed you brother!! I can be such a dork wad sometimes BUT - that comes with being a Puc

Looking for Raggies and now yours here Gary - THANK YOU for letting me know!! I do remember catching you folks but I am still not sure I was able to catch that wiley Raggie rabbit! I was in a big hurry while trying to get the "card" up as I had been told he was coming home today and I really wanted it there for him when he got there.. If I missed anyone else's video well wish to Dan PLEASE let me know!! Sorry GARY - gonna do some digging here!! Puc

Should of dialed 911 and turned in a robbery/abduction attempt!! That "stop and pick up some money and follow us" routine has landed more than one low life behind bars.. Goofy scammers drive me crazy! Thanks for letting us know about all of this Mama!! Glad it all worked out and you folks didnt lose any cash,, or worse!!

OH MY GOSH - Eagle Eye, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with here back at the Puc homestead!!!!! Prayers Up and Blessings down brother!! PLEASE,, if anyone knows anything more let us know!! THIS HAS GOTTA STOP!!

OH MY GOSH!! EAGLE EYE - where ya brother? Hope your ok out there - PRAYERS UP and BLESSINGS DOWN MY FRIEND!! Man this is horrendous!!

Sorry about that Billmac, wonder if anyone else is having that problem? If you (or anyone for that matter) are having a hard time viewing the vids you can follow this link to youtube and probably be able to see them there: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=get+well+yammer+dan Also wanted to mention in response to all the "Thanks Pucs" connected with this thread, ya'll are more than welcome - figured it was the least I could do for my brother who is hurting. Sides that, it was Maintenance Day ya know, friendship maintenance is just as (more than) important as motorcycle maintenance in my weird way of thinking!! GET WELL YAMMER DAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So,, long as we are gathered around the campfire here, wanna hear a story about all this? I know ya do:stickinouttounge: I had to run into Oberlin to find a new SD card and some batteries for my camera to be able to record all you long winded critters. Now I aint much for directions, more of a, as Dan would put it, CTFWer by nature.. Rode in and found Walmart fairly easily,, down right proud of my great sense of direction.. Then it came time to find my way back to Don's.. Well,, there was this one little bridge that kept getting in my way,, I think I crossed that bridge at least 8 times before I finally found you guys!! I swear I thought to myself that all you good friends of mine had discovered my absence and packed up and left me - I was skeerd.. Gotta say that I was never so happy to see my little 20 dollar Menards tent in my life cause I only had my pretty blue shorts with me and I wasnt sure those things would stretch out for a blanket to sleep under behind a dumpster when it got dark.

Indeed Jeff, THANK YOU for the stand plates and the great friendship brother!! It was awesome finally getting chance to meet you my friend!! I kept my promise to Tip about my drinking BUT,, gotta say - I was a little tipsy just from sniffing those Rum Ball things! Wonder if anyone else noticed they smell a little like Jet Fuel?

NICE DAVID - REAL NICE!!!

I for one am GLAD we could do it Mrs. Warden but truly wish it was under different circumstances. Want you to know its Prayers Up for you too as that Hubby of yours will probably need to be taken care of for a while.. You folks need anything PLEASE dont be afraid to get on here and mention it - lots of folks around ready to help.. Give Dan a hug for me and tell him its all gonna work out.. We got his back! Puc

:clap2::thumbsup: So Mama,,, when ya get rested up after such a great MD can ya do me a favor? Could ya give some thought as to who is the best hugger - me or MarCarl? I gave the varmint a hug and I still think I got em beat but I am kinda biased,, maybe.. True pleasure finally meeting you!! Cant WAIT for those 's!!

Pleasure meeting you folks FINALLY neighbor!! Ride safe out there and enjoy the sunshine!!!

INDEED!! Prayers Up and Blessings Down!! This is TERRIBLE!!

I like my 1/4 drive socket with the correct lengths of extentions BUT, I used that cheapy little stamped plug wrench with that funky tool kit stamped out boxed end wrench (like Condor mentioned) on the end of it for many years - sucker worked remarkably well!! I like to run my plugs on the tighter side of gap spec - .032, seems like they like to expand after a few trips cross country.. Oh yea,, careful gapping Iridium, that tiny electrode is really sensitive to breakage..

Sheesh you guys, I am fortunate I havent burned down one of my 1st Gens. I have always just grabbed the handlebar, lift the bike up carefully until I can feel it balancing (got be careful she dont mousetrap ya), held it and balance and leaned down and checked it - never did center stand it for an oil check. Seems to me that if the side car is set up right so its holding the scoot fairly close to balanced - that would be sufficient.. I have swapped out oil on my little fork type lift, never really noticed a big difference in level after doing so BUT - that is NOT the center stand with its tipping the bike forward.. Kin, I wonder if the darkness your seeing is because its to full and the window is covered with oil. If you were able to leave it on the side stand for a short time the window should clear off some. Maybe do an oil change with the filter, add reguired amount and check the window before you refill and see if it clears a little. Then watch while you add until you see oil accumulating in the bottom of the window just to see if you can see it. If the window is for sure unusable, another thing you could do is using a drip plug. Measure horizonally across the top fill line and across the clutch cover and see if the hole could go in it. Then, to check the oil all you do is take the plug out and see if it drips, if it doesnt you just add oil until it does. Probably sounds crazy but I have had many bikes that were built that way.. Might be easier in the long run than using a dip stick and, last time I checked, a 10mm hex head bolt with a copper washer was considerably cheaper than a Lathe and the tooling to be able to use it...

Our hearts were broken and sadness filled the air, when we heard our Yammer Dan would not be there. Tears fell from sky and shock set in, as the story was told time and again. We waited and prayed - about you we did share, until each one of us knew, your life He did spare. Now its heal time our friend, it will come with good rest, as for all us here, we send you our best!!! Dan, this first video of Gary and Mary is one I had missed in the original thread here from Sunday - it does not have the opening label of "Get Well Yammer Dan" and has a standard youtube label instead - MY MISTAKE brother!! If I have others I havent found yet (you know how MD is, just a blur and my SD card proves it) I will post them at the TOP of the list for your viewing!! Get well brother!! Again, @Gary N. - sorry about the oversight on my part!! EVERYONE = as I mentioned at the end of this posting - if I messed up and missed posting your well wish video to Dan on here - PLEASE let me know like Gary did so I can find it and post it - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!! Your recorded message is extremely necessary, please let me know either on here or by PM, or call me, or send up a smoke signal!!
