  2. :sign yeah that: Turn the key to ACC and try it.
  3. Its all about the workmanship, some are peeled a little more than half, and some a little less than half.
  4. Because you might think you were in a George Webbs.
  5. Do the renewal notices come out 30 days prior to expiring?
  6. Boy I sure wish we could go on daylight saving time and just stay there.
  7. How early does the system send out the notices? On the 15th I will be 1 month from my renewal date.
  8. When I was looking the prices kept changing every couple weeks. The best deal is a moving target. Find a few places that have decent prices and then when you are ready to buy, check those places to see who has the best price of the day. No matter what price you pay, or where you get them, or when you get them, Murphy says there will be a lower price the next week, so once you buy, stop looking.
  9. Well ASSuming that you camp for free, and spend $10 on food at every gas stop, and incur no other expenses like tires or oil change, That $1000 will take you about 6100 miles, or 41 gas / food stops. That can get you almost anywhere in the country and back home. But that is a LOT of riding for one week.
  10. Maybe. If the overflow of the bowls was going out the overflow onto the floor, then yes. If the gas is going into the engine, then no. If the garage has good ventilation like it should, you also may not notice the gas smell. When my half tank disappeared, there was no smell.
  11. I wonder if there is a way to pressure test the head?
  12. Eck I would sure like to meet you in person. I'm sure we can arrange something when it gets closer. But the March M&E is still going to happen. There may be a few of us that can get together again in April. I know I sure do like to eat....... and meet.......
  13. It is great stuff, But it is also depressing. Makes me realize just how poor my artistic skills are.
  14. Yes you did, you love ...... AND there will be my special RUM balls for desert...... I am still planing to leave Milwaukee right after work on Friday.
  15. Go back to post 3. Mine did that about 4 years ago and never a repeat performance. Bike locked in shed. Gas tank locked. The only keys are in my pocket. No sign of gas in oil. No sign of gas dripping on ground. No kids still at home. Just a half tank gone. Never did find a plausible reason for it. On a 1st gen the top of the tank is well above the carbs. It is possible for gas to gravity feed from the tank to the carbs until the level of gas in the tank gets down to the level of gas in the float bowls. The pump has 2 one way valves that will allow gas to flow from the tank to the carbs but not allow gas to flow from the carbs to the tank. So it is possible for gas to drain from the tank to the carbs for about 1/3 of the tank. The best WAG that I came up with was that it was stored with a full tank, there was a small piece of dirt on the float needle seat allowing the slow leak, first time I ran it the dirt washed out never to return. Even though you have been riding it all week, I would still give the oil a good check for gas contamination, no sense doing any additional damage to the bearings.
  16. I think that that last modification may be the very best one. It will get you more top speed and likely better gas mileage at the same time. It is also the hardest to do, I wish you the best of luck in accomplishing it.
  17. On Craig's List I always put in a disclaimer that I know all the scam tricks so don't bother. If it must be sold local I put that in there also, along with any other requirements of the sale, like cash only. I have found that it significantly reduces the amount of scammers and people that I have no intention of selling to. The scammers do not want to waste their precious time if they know you are on to them.
  18. Testing will be at my home field. I do not know if Fon Du Lac will allow this beast. If they do I will likely bring it up there for one of their funflys.
  19. Erika and I are sorry to hear this news.
  20. It is even more amazing when someone is new to these bikes and is running around on 3 cylinders thinking this is pretty nice. Then they get that 4th cylinder to kick in and the smile nearly rips their head in half.....
  21. Well here is hoping that at least one of those job opportunities works out for you.
  22. I will most likely lite this puppy up in the back yard on a test stand a few times. Flying will only happen at RC fields. I am pretty sure the club will allow this since I am the club president...... I might even have all of this by my March M&E.
  23. Pete I got to many toys to move anywhere, you'll have to move here. These fall into the realm of if you have to think about what to do next it is to late. 250 mph equals 466 feet per second, a blink at the wrong time and it could be gone. Yes there will be a few :mo money: in it by the time it is done. If it hits the ground at that speed it will be confetti.
  24. Puc It will take 22 minutes from my house to yours, going straight across the lake.
  25. Is that 2 friends now...... But Don we do have to return the thank you, if it wernt for the crazy number of hours that you put in to keep us maniacs under some semblance of control, none of this other good stuff would be happening. :group cheers:
