    What brings us together, what happens when you need to come to the site and read the posts to find out what's happening, we become acquainted with each other and become the family that we are. With a news letter I'm afraid that we may loose some of that aspect, a lot of us may just go with the report in the letter and not visit here anymore. I know, it would also keep others more informed, but the intimacy would be lost. With 3500 members there is a good side in that who ever chose to receive such a letter would be a little more in the loop, but if we start to loose our regular posters, we would loose camaraderie. I guess my fear is that since I've found something special here, I really don't want to mess with it and then end up losing what we all seem to really enjoy. Once a news letter is in place it will be hard to turn back the clock and go back to the way it was, so, if it ain't broke, don't mess with it.

    I've got about 55,000 mile on mine and it's just starting to go when I get on it hard and high. Normally I wouldn't notice it,,,,yet, so it's fix it this winter.

    What's this I hear about a bike cleaning bee, we got Gambler, right handed, and Eck, left handed?, hey we can get both sides of the scoot done at once. The riding part I also noticed but I will need something to do while they clean mne, so I'll sacifice my time and see if a second gen is all it's pumped up to be, and oh ya Gary, you know it's not good to let your bike sit with only a half tank of gas, so you should top it up ASAP. By the way, Gary, I was not in the 'cutting' loop either, I suppose that what happened, but I'm glad it seemed to work out ok and you are on the mend.

    You best keep that lid on, they may not like the colour underneath it either.

    Tire pressure is important but so are the steering head bearings. It's a good thing to do every once in a while, test out the system by easing up or letting go of the handle bars at slower speeds, this will bring out the worst in the problem department and indicate that there will be an issue soon, and better at slow speeds under control, then at 140 k going down the hyway.

    Say hi to our Naughty girl, and give her a little squeeze for me. Hope all goes well with you as well, now that you're doing double maybe even triple duty.

    My mechanic has been a busy one lately. I’ve noticed that a lot of my friends also show up at his door asking questions, getting advice, sharing a story or two and making him laugh with some of their jokes. I just don’t know how he keeps up with the, now two, shops that he looks after plus his family his property. I sure glad he’s got some help with some of the locals. What bothers me sometimes though, is how long will he stay on. Very few of his customers pay him anything because he just won’t present a bill, he says it all from the goodness of his heart, and I believe that to be true. The other day though, I did leave him a little something so that he could maybe repaint the front door or maybe replace the chairs that we seem to have worn out by sitting on and watching him work. I’m thinking to make up a sign so that more of the other ‘locals’ will leave a little bit so that this winter when it gets cold, it could be a little warmer when we sit around and chat. I figure that with a little over the 3000 customers he has, we should be able to keep quite warm this winter. Yep you guessed it, MY MECHANIC is this site and if I need to say more this part will have to go to part 3. I really think that just counting the bike info we get, let alone all the other entertainment, comradery, prayers, support, physical help, and more, that we get from this site, we certainly would not want to forget to place just a little something in the donation box. Ok I’ve said too much, but it’s been on my mind and I couldn’t shake it. Now it’s done. Carl

    When in an emergency state we often can do things that we thought never possible, good for jack to put himself out like that, many others wouldn't have, he's a HERO #1. I just pray that it didn't hurt his back again, and blessing to Dave that he may heal well and quickly. We'll pray for you all. Carl

    You should being as that is most important.
  16. Marcarl
    Thanks for all the info, cold weather is coming, the scoot will be in for a total check up and then maybe we'll also get rid of all that static on the CB and radio. Still 3+ months to go til January, so until then it's status quo.

    Meet each other here, send a PM to who you want to converse politics with and go that route, MOTORSICLES is right. I would love to debate this issue but will do it around here, verbally, this is not the forum for this, and I for one want to keep us all on this forum.

    Bleed the clutch first and then if that don't help take the linkage right apart and clean and lubricate it well, all of it, before you go taking the clutch itself apart.

    The grass was a different colour here this morning, but it must have been a mistake because when I came home from church it was back to normal again. It had me worried though as to what was going on, maybe it just got moldy from not having to cut it all summer. We'll ask for your prayers to be answered as well, so that the Spirit of the Almighty might be a support for the both of you.

    Glad to hear that everything turned out so well, boy we sure can more when there is a need, can't we, and we can be thankful for cell phones. We will ask for your prayers to be answered so that they will heal quickly.

    There are rubber pinch wheels that press against little stems where with the tape is transported. Most likely these rubber wheels have some debrie on them and that causes the tape to momentary stick to them and voila you have a mess. Take a Q-tip and some contact cleaner to clean the whole transporter system, all the stems and rubber wheels and make sure all the belts are working. Inspect the wheels for any damage while you're at it and you should be good to go. Mind you, I don't think the 90 VRs liked heavy rock so if that's what you were playing, it may also be an issue.

    Carl will be there, just tell me where there is.
