This story sounds so on track with me. I also took an 18 yr. hiatus from riding. Not all from family things but I just lost interest. In late 04 the itch got under my skin and in May of 05 I bought my brothers 03 Venture and put 96,000 miles on it so far.

Sorry to hear this Ben. Prayers up for the family.

Yes Puc I did post a pic of my 1911 a while back, and it is a single stack not double. Gmarshall that is a sweet looking Kimber. I had a Kimber SR 40C but I could not hit anything with it so I put it on trade for my Kimber 280 AI.

Talking about 1911's here is the one I picked up a while back.

Just seen this. Praying for a speedy recovery.

I haven't seen too much 223 but the shops around here seem to have a lot of 556. I don't use them but I do have a few guns that I reload for. My problem is finding brass for one that I just bought. unless I buy loaded and then shoot for the brass, It is a Weatherby mark 5 in 257 mag. I am not worried about primers or bullets as I have plenty as With this cal. I load for two other riels #1 Remington 7mm mag. and #2 Kimber 280 Ackley Improved.

Just saw this. Prayers for a full and speedy recovery Earl.

The only reason I don't own one is it is too tall for me to reach the ground.

I was in the woods for two weeks, NO Internet No phone. Best time of the year. When we got home I had 469 emails, I hit the delete button without looking at any of them.

I am not done yet. We did finish up this week on Berkeley co. schools (32 of them). One more for the town of Hedgesville next week and Mine and my son's next week then we head to camp for Hunting season.

Puc like said above. Check their website for more info. They will have a buyers premium on what they sell. It can be 10% to 25% and transport can get up in price also. I have went to a few auctions close to me and I have bought and sold some. Best advice is to check everything out before you start bidding. OH! Good Luck.

Yeah Puc I was watching that also but my pick was the 69 Roadrunner conv.

I have had that happen too many times. On one ride I got hit by his hind foot, it just grazed the front wheel. That was closer than I ever want to be on a bike.

Sorry to hear this. Condolences to the family.

Funny story about the one my son has. He bought it from a close friend a few years ago and road it for a long time then sold it to a friend that lived behind us. He then sold it to someone else and they could not get it running. So they sold it to another guy, well this guy needed some body work done on a pick up truck and gave my son the bike for doing the work. My son took the bike not knowing that it was his old bike till he seen the title that was still in his name. So when he got it back and we were trying to get it started we found that someone had changed the fuel line and had a kink in it. Fixed that and it ran great.

My friend found a new set of rotors and brake pads on line and they should be here sometime next week. Now my son is biting at the bit to get his 85 Sabre back on the road.

Don you beat me to it again.

Thanks all. I will keep these in mind for future parts.

The bike owner found a set on EBay but they do look kind of ruff but he ordered them .

Hi All I am changing tires on a friends bike and found cracked rotors. I have checked a few places but could not find any that will fit it. If someone knows where I can get a set please let me know. Thanks Chuck

I finally got mine back together. New stator, regulator plugs, oil change new tires, new headlight. OH and new stator cover I had to replace. Now I might get a ride before winter hits us.

Mike if you can get a bolt that size you can cut a trench with a hacksaw along the bolt length and run it in to chase the threads. That worked on my bike.

Well my bike has been on the jack for a couple weeks now. Just put new tires and headlight in it and the stator went out. I got a new stator from Earl and had to order a new stator cover as a couple screws twisted off. I got the cover from Gary Dings. Should have it back up and running this weekend.

Shoot first ask questions later.

They unscrew but if they have rusty threads they will get tight. Did you use PB Blaster or JB 80 or WD 40 on them?
