Know what cha mean Dan,,, Tweeks was NOT a happy camper after sittin around all winter either,, watchin me ride off on this ol war bike - even knowing full well that it is NOT a replacement for her, she STILL copped an attitude:confused24: Found out though with a little bit of lovin,, scratchin her back with some new plugs and carb sync, ticklin her feet with some new brake pads and caliper piston cleanin, massagin her legs with some new tires, little hydraulic fluid transfusion, talkin (NICELY,, ya gotta learn to talk NICELY to em Dan,, dont be so dog gone grumpy around your bikes bro..) to her the whole time about how much fun the three of us are gonna have this summer and guess what,,,,,,,, Tippy and I took a test ride on her yesterday,,,, now there is one longggg legged fast ol bike,, she maybe a beat up tired ol girl but still loves to run.... I swear I could her saying,,, "tellin ya Puc, gimmee another shot at the summer fun title,, come on ol man,, I still got it",,,,,,,, We shall see Tweeks,,, we shall see... Puc

I been sayin it all winter,, that Flyinfool is EVIL!!!!

For what its worth,, was in our local Auto Zone picking up some car parts, noticed they had a few spin on filters for bikes so I asked if they could get filters for all bikes.. Guy dug thru his vendors and found Fram filters for Tweeks,, my 83 XVZ12.. Ordered a couple, 5 bucks a piece shipped to my door (free ship). Got em today (ordered last Friday),, was pleasently surprised that they came with all the O-rings too - cool!! Part number CH6002 (Fram filter number).... Gotcher back.. Puc

Thats terrible Patti,, praying for all involved..

GORGEOUS!! Yea,,,,, I could ride that puppy till the cows came home:cool10: Good luck with your sale Mick!! Puc

I dont use one either Illinois but for a different reason,,,, I leave my bike unlocked to see if anyone would even want to steal it :rotf:

Yea,,, what Annie said,,,, that goes for me too,,, cant understand it either,,, why?

Nah,, nah nah nah,,,,,, hmmmmmmm,, we got a breakdown in communications goin,,,,,, OK,, try this... 2 hotsdogs for Tippy, 3 for me,,, if they could muster some Cat Soup and mustard that would be fine,, if not,, we like em without anything on em all most as much.. Hey Eagle,, you havent forgot about trying to find that "Best Burger Joint" in America out there have ya... Suppose to be somewhere in Oregon right on the Columbia River,, grow their own beef and all that... Ohhhh,,,, never mind,,,,,, probably cant really trust a feller who cant even get a simple dinner order right:rotf:,,,,,,,,,, I will find that Burger joint while I am out there on my own,,,,,, got a nose like a blood hound....

My wife and daughter are fanatical about Jack Bower,, they have been on the edge of their seats for a long time waiting for 24 to start back up.. I dont watch a lot of TV myself, I am always covered in grease and stink like gas so Tippy dont let me sit down on the couch and watch much but if I did,, ya,, I could see getting hooked on watching Jack and Chloe save the world..... Of course,, everyone knows that Chuck Norris or Clint Eastwood can beat up Keifer Sutherland and its a good thing that Little Joe or Hoss Cartwright, Marshall Dillion, Sargent Saunders (Vic Morrow), The Rifleman (Chuck Connors) or even Granny Clampett arent still around cause they could too!!!!!

Larry, Tippy and I ride a Honda Helix ALOT when we are not on the Venture,, gets excellent MPG.. We bumped into the Terry Hershner (sp) out in Utah last year, he is from California and was crossing the country on an electric motorcycle.. Got talking with him and found out he was on his way to meet up with his friend - Craig Vetter of Vetter Fairings to head to a "who can get the most out of a gallon of fuel contest" in Ohio.. Terry said that Vetter had designed his streamlining kit for his electric bike.. When I mentioned how much I love my Helix for its MPG, he was telling me that Vetter competes on his Helix and, thru streamlining and some clutch work has gotten over the 150 MPG mark on it.. Said that those scooters like you mentioned, the CF250, were also very capable...

Love your saying, makes a LOT of sense!! Your welcome for the info! Puc

Great read - thanks Neil!!

Must something in the water, or change in weather BigLenny,,, yesterday - I went to move a 1st Gen parts bike into the garage to steal some parts from, put the kickstand up, rolled it into the garage, got mentally side tracked, lean it down onto the kickstand and let go of it - forgot to put the stand down first... Found out quickly that they care whether it is my fault, the bikes fault or someone elses fault,,, they are still heavy!! Hope you guys are ok!! Puc

Got a question for those of you who know 1st Gen electronics.. Guy asked me today about an issue that just started with his 84 Venture.. Said his Tach has started responding real slow,, wanted to know if he should replace/lube the tach cable.. I was telling him that the tach was actually electronic and that,,, if I recall,, I had read that a "slow movement tach" could indicate ecm problems... Got thinking on the way home that I should ask the pros on here about it NOW so if I gotta call him and eat some crow the crow doesnt have time to spoil before I have to eat it... What do think gang??? Thanks!! Puc

Well,, gonna go out on another limb here DJ,, just for you... Go ahead and whip me if ya need to guys but I gotta say it... I would reconsider Shinko's... Been there, price was right, tires looked great and I thought I would try em.. Bought the correct sizes, as close to weight carrying capacity to my E2's as I could get, mounted/balanced em up, loaded up the bike and Tippy and I headed for the Dragon.. Going south on the highway out of Johnson City TN, 104 degree day, hot tarmac, Tweeks all of sudden let me know she her shoe came off.. Got her landed ok.. Back tire flatter than a pan cake. Got her ripped down, up on center stand spun the back tire and heard a noise inside the tire.. Guy stopped to help, rolled the back wheel and said "you got drivetrain problems", said no I dont - what ever punctured my tire is still inside it.. He took me back to "Jims" (GREAT FOLKS) in Johnson City.. Told the mechanic I wanted what ever was inside the tire rattling around for a keep sake.. Below are a couple of pics of what went thru the brand new Shinko - I keep this piece in my maintenance department bag just to show folks.. Notice that there really are no pointed edges on the piece, not like a nail or a screw or something.. The guy at Jim's agreed with me when I commented that something like that should have never punctured the tire.. He said that Shinko's dont have the carcass strength of the most other brands... Personally,, l wouldnt run em again unless I had to.. Just my opinion..... Puc

Indeed Lewis,, YOU are on my hero's list!! Thank you for all you have done and are doing for the kids of St. Judes!!!!!!!!!!:clap2::clap2::clap2: You are loved and appreciated Fozzie!! Puc

Tell ya one thing there Dragon Rider,,,, if I were Dingy (current leader in the auction),, I 'd be getting a little nervous because of that revelation...:stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot:

""""WESTWARD HO!"""" I LOVE how this guy thinks!!! Driften along like a tumblin tumbleweed,, Happy Trails,, Bluuue Shadows on the trail, Give me land lots of land with the starry skies above....... Yeaaa,,, DONT FENCE ME IN!! Puc

1 dollar is a small amount, a tiny price to pay. When you think of all those St. Judes kids, suffering on this day. A dollar from every member, what a great idea Lewis! Everyone I know could do that, from the oldest to the newest.. A dollar or 10 dimes, would make no difference really. Such a simple thing to figure out, it almost sounds kinda silly.. A dollar up here in Michigan, is 10 pop cans at its best. Their laying in a ditch out there, I KNOW I could do the rest. A dollar buys a donut here, which my doctor says dont eat. Why I could give it to those Children, for an extra special treat! A dollar buys a water bottle, now that kinda makes one think.. Your not really giving a dollar, just a glass of water to drink.. A dollar bill is hiding, over here and over there. Waiting for me to find it, so with those children I can share!!!
