Dano

Well, 6 years and 2 days ago I left the rehab horsepital after a friendly meeting with that 8 pointer. Most of ya know about it. I'm just now understanding those 2 lines at the bottom of my "page" have NOT re-appeared in my subconscious yet and I am starting to miss that. The bike is still here, ready to go whenever, just patiently (I hope) waiting for me... AND I just figured out last week I hadn't re-subscribed to this ol' joint yet this year..... See, my humerous side ain't left yet!

Just got back on here and sorry to hear about your loss Jeff, they're just another one of our kids and it hurts the same...

Huh, I just happen to have a vacuum actuator complete with cable on it from an '87 that only had 36,000 on it when it came my way a whilst ago... Just PM me...

My thoughts and prayers are certainly goin' out to the 'ol Owl, he kinda deserves 'em from us all...

Nope, some of us stop by after it's over.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB!

Looks great! Any good times to see whats goin' on?

And to think I wasted time today by logging on to here just to see what the chat's all about...

Occasionally I have some prudent knowledge...

Thanx for bringin' back the memories! I believe I cut angles into my 84's 2nd and 5th gears to offset them wanting to pull apart due to the torque you can get out of 'em...

You forget how Dan takes the turns...

Still thinkin' about the Skid, but I ain't gonna play with Windows 10! Not paying for quickbooks again just 'cause mine won't work with W10!

May I say this? TOO MUCH governmental processes and rules to go thru! They THINK they know more than we in the particular industry they are governing have. NO WAY. They don't live in it everyday! I am a licensed master electrician here in Indy, have gone thru this for a few decades. It has gotten worse in the last decade as there are too many who want to live off of us taxpayers by being paid by the government to handle the way WE live. Unfortunately, if that "neighbor" has a "problem" with your paint scheme or building look, we have to change it instead of them just putting up with it or MOVING SOMEWHERE ELSE! Why/how have we got to the point where others control us? OK, I'll stop b**ching now...

I've been outta riding the 1st gens for a few years,,, but I still have a couple dozen parts left for 'em around here!!

Yep, yep, yep,,,,that danged old-age memory recall problem has been kickin' in...

And your starter clutch mod is??? Definitely not the best, that is what I do....

You are lucky, my son wanted and got a Katana 750 for his first bike,,, BUT he spent numerous years on a dirt bike to learn how to handle a bike perty' well..... Now he doesn't like the 750 because of the long frame and unability to pick up the front tire more than a foot.... Maybe I had somethin' to do with that part!!!

I kinda wish I had gone riding yesterday instead of diggin' post holes and settin' privacy fence sections all day.... Guess I'll have to find another reason to ride due to workin' like I did last Monday...

I had to replace the volt/reg on the '08, of course it went out last year but I just got to it and fixed it a couple weeks ago, my drive to wanna ride is finally startin' back.

A local producer (Countrymark) (who also owns the Indy Motor Spdway)) has premium without the ethanol that eats up little carbs whilst just sitting there, so I put it in all mowers and my RSV since it sits around a lot just now. Yesterday I did a 350 mile round trip up north for bizness on the bike and it ran just fine after sitting mostly unstarted since last summer....

I know I HAVE sent a couple of starter clutch repairs down there, John Fitzgibbons, don't remember where he's from tho.....

Sorry Don, not gonna be able to make it up there this year,,,,,too busy around here, finally gettin' my "drive" back to get stuff done from the last 4 or so years.....

Hey Condor, I'm not gonna have to meet up with you to fix this one too, am I???!!! Just rememberin' Cody for a minute there,,, Oh, do they offer the bottom in clear? After startin' my ridin' more and more, I've got the bagger shield on my replacement bike,,,,but it's a bit dark for me to be able to see thru,,,I kinda like to see what's right in front of me, road surface, etc.....

Same comes from here...

Hopefully that rotor has jumped off the crankshaft (such a TRUE name!), I talked to him whilst runnin' the scoreboard for a high school softball sectional... Dang, I'm startin' to do 2 things at once! Those who know me know what I'm gettin' out of.....

got it back boys, first time seein' this.....will PM the dude...
