And thru waist deep snow..............

While it certainly has been colder, even much colder than this, I still don't care for anytime the temp is below zero, especially with the wind blowing. But this is still better than a hot summer day.

That Saddlebum character sure does like to share his frigidness.

Ahhhh, Ye of little faith............. I been laid up for a while. It is still an effort to run @cowpuc favorite machine. But we are getting there. We have already had snow on the ground in ALL 50 states at the same time.

You still have to come back up here for the international and then Orlins MDs......... We will miss you..............

I just get to look at mine for a while yet, one of the "perks" of having Collector plates is that you are not allowed on the roads in the month of January.

Yes @cowpuc we are thinking of you over on this side of the pond too. You, Tippy and Sis are all in our thoughts and prayers to be ready for a full summer of CTFWing. And stop chasing the nurses, you know that they can all outrun you right now anyhow, besides, you could slip and fall on some .

We just got slammed with that wave of cold air that @saddlebum promised. But at least we were able to crack the zero°F mark even though the wind chill is still around -20°F. Might have to go out and see if I can get all of the machinery calibrated after @Yammer Dan messed with stuff, at least enough so that it is not all landing on poor ol @cowpuc. But then where to send it............:scratchchin: Well I made another trip to doc to get looked at, he said it is healing well and has raised my weight restriction to 50 lbs. But there is still a LOT of swelling that he did not like so I go back for another look see in 2 weeks. He said that the swelling is due to fluid buildup and if it is not going down in 2 weeks then he will have to harpoon me with a LONG needle to drain off the juice. That just don't sound like fun. The good news for some is that I can at least start to wear pants again, at least for a little while...........

See what happens when you spend too much time with this bunch of misfits............

Well maybe you are turned off till the next time you get a whiff of my special balls..................

If you have a big enough gun the trees will move out of the way.

You still have to get out to replenish the Ice Cream supplies.

Either a bigger antenna and/or a better preamp.

Based on your description the pump ran for 11 seconds. This tells me the float bowls were empty. You either have a fuel blockage or a bad pump.

Awesome Tom. Now you can do all of those other things............ .............Like shovel snow........

So when are visiting times at the hospital?

It is not that they forgot how to make good batteries. The car designers keep wanting the same CCA but in a smaller lighter package. To get that requires compromises. in this case they have to make the plates thinner and out of a foam like lead to get the same surface area as the old ones had with thicker and more plates. Thinner plates will not last as strong and will fail sooner. All that the car designers care about is a smaller lighter battery that will get past the 36 month new car warranty. I just had to replace a 3 year old battery in my truck, it is a 2011 and this is its 3rd battery. But the battery is smaller and lighter with more CCA than the monster that was in my old truck and lasted 6-7 years. Everything in electronics is a compromise you want more CCA you have to give something else up, size, or weight, or longevity. Nowadays they are giving up longevity in exchange for CCA and size. For the bike I still like the good old flooded cell Yuasa. it has less CCA than an AGM, but those big thick plates last a long time. The bike was designed to work with the lower CCA of the Yuasa.

I recently bought a new one for my 88 from Boats.net and it was not expensive. My old one was cosmetically good but the pivot was worn out.

I am using XP Pro and Firefox and am not having this issue.

Don't multi cylinder EFI bikes still need to be synced, unless they are running a common throttle body setup? The sync only gets all of the throttle plates to open at the same time so all cylinders are working equally has nothing to do with fuel air mixture. :confused24:

:sign yeah that: I'm crazy for a bowl of my chili right now. The only football bowl game I watch is the one with Wisconsin Badgers in it, this year it will be the Cotton Bowl.

While there is nothing that I am aware of that is in the form of a plug and play kit, it certainly can be done. There is the method that Bob mentioned above. OR There are several people making a manifold to put a single automotive carb on our engines, I do not see why you could not put a small automotive TBI on that same manifold. Either way you still need to come up with all of the sensors and computer to make it all work and may need to generate your own fuel maps. IF you were to go with something like the Micro Squirt system for the EFI, it also can handle the job of ignition to replace your ancient one you have on the bike now, it will even handle going to COP if you were so inclined. Dang it, I almost talked myself into doing this again....................

Not a $850 stock in my book either. A stock of that price should not have blemishes that need to be filled. It is already been glass bedded to some other rifle so it will need a lot of work for a perfect fit. unless you get lucky.

You may have run into individuals in the stores that did not know how to test a battery.

Time to make a HoneyDo list for Taters......................
