You should always keep an extra virgin Olive Oil around. But won't Popeye get mad????.........
-
We could probably get a discussion going on the political ramifications of religion and choice of oil, and it wont get noticed or deleted till Monday........ Hows that for trouble?
-
It sure is quiet around here with everyone on their way to MD. I sure wish I were one of them, I would have been somewhere around Toledo right about now.....
-
I should have been just about through Chicago on the way there right about now. I sure hope everyone has a good time.
-
Well ya gots to figger they will git lost at least a few times. After all they do not really know right from left. They have never had to drive on the right side of the road.......:stickpoke:And they are probably standing on their heads so that the world looks right.

Erikas foot is getting better. Less bad? Stitches should come out tomorrow. Hopefully the pins come out in the first week or two of July. Then at least another 6 weeks of taking it easy after that. By Labor Day she should be getting around pretty good. My truck is getting better to. DRL and remote start are the only things left (that I know of) that don't work.

Won't that get the tires delivered to the vacant lot next door????

Good luck on your trip, be safe and have fun. It has been a lot of years since someone called me young.......

They call me marshmallow butt. My longest ride is still at 220 miles in one day broken into 3 separate segments, early morning, mid afternoon, late evening.

We have a winner. But I already made it happen.
-
I still wish I was coming. I had plans to cause so much trouble............

A CLEAN GARAGE????? You do know that a clean garage is a sign of a sick mind.......... The truck is getting there, I am done taking things apart and have started to reassemble. I even got it started and took it for a short drive around the block. Still lots to put back together though.

Well since my truck blew up over memorial weekend, it has wiped out all chance of me making it to Freebirds MD. But that means that it is much more likely that I will be able to make it to the WI MD. It is still dependent on how Erika's foot is healing, but I think that she will be fine for a day. I still need to grease my pins that I never got around to at the last WI MD, If there is time available on a lift. I also have a couple of minor electrical issues to attend to, if there is the time and ambition. Is there anything that I should bring up with me? Since I did all of that work to get the bike and a trailer ready to take to Ohio maybe I'll get ambitious and pull it to Fox Lake, just so that I will at least have used it for something this year. Is there anyone heading up from the Milwaukee area? Bob, did you ever get that second brass pole mounted on the new bar???
-
Yup, my favorite tool... That is why I said So does my skill with a hammer mean I am now fully qualified to work on anyone's bike?????
-
I tried everywhere around town. No one ever saw anything like it. Soooooo....... I used plan 2, get a bigger hammer. I went to harbor freight and got a set of external Torx sockets, used a E4 socket and hammered it onto the screw and out it came. Repeat 4 more times. Replaced them with hex socket head cap screws. That part is all better now, and if I ever have to take it apart again, my trusty 3mm Allen wrench is now the correct tool.
-
I am working on the steering column of my 96 GMC full size P/U. There are a bunch of screws in the steering column that look like a Torx BIT, but are 5 point instead of 6 point. So I need a nut driver that has 5 internal points. This screw head is about 1/8" OD. I have been looking at tool places and can not find anything like this. I have found the Pentasockets but they are for a screw head with 5 flat sides, This is a star shape more like what a Torx bit looks like.

Final Countdown of Cody Trailer Tickets - 2011
Flyinfool replied to Lone Eagle's topic in Watering Hole
Too late!!!! I just bought what should be the winning tickets. With the run of bad luck that I have been having lately, these tickets just have to be winners. -
The differences in gauges is one reason that I only use what works for others as a starting point for tire pressure. Play with the pressure till you like the ride, and handling, then always use the same gauge to check pressure. Make a note of what YOUR preferred pressure is with YOUR gauge, both hot and cold. I think that it is the differences in gauges that accounts for the differences in pressures that some people run.
-
I was going to do something similar but I was going to wire it hot so that I do not have to have the bike running to charge stuff. Charging cell phone type stuff draws very little power from the battery. For instance, my cell phone has a 0.200 amp hour at 3.7V battery, that means that if it is completely dead, I will use only 0.062 amp hour off of the bikes battery. Almost nothing. I was also going to put an I pod in the trunk with an FM transmitter so that I can do tunes while riding. Just set it to shuffle and it will be like listening to the radio with no commercials.

Well I think I have most of the diagnostics done on the truck. Fried fuel pump and fuel level sender. Fried turn signal switch assembly. Fried brake light switch. Many many melted wires. It looks like somewhere in that big 2 inch diameter wire harness there is a short between the brake light circuit and the fuel pump circuit that caused an overload to those circuits, after the fuse, so those wires started to melt and melt adjacent wires and it snowballed from there. Looks like $500-600 in parts. And at least a week of rewiring and replacing fried stuff. None of the fried components are easy to get to. Each of the fried components is a major project by itself. It will take a miracle for me to get this all done, and get time to pack the bike for the trip, and implement my super secret plan for mamas foot (Shhhh... she don't know about it yet:duck:)

Well I was going to deliver the first tool to RandyR at MD but since I will not be making the trip I will ship it to him for the first test.
