    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

    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.

    That would depend on how busy they are and their level of ambition. Also whether they want to see you come back for your next scoot purchase. 'course here in lies a problem, how soon before you buy another scoot, will that be before your next car or will you buy 2 or 3 cars before another bike. Sooooooo if you already bought your ride and they don't expect you to buy another for quite some time....at present your just a PITA. jmho

    Good video

    Marcarl replied to dragerman's topic in Videos

    Sure we all like good looking scoots, but the image portrayed was one of looks only. It was all image, nothing on quality of motorcycle, ride, endurance, maintainance etc. . Harley didn't do rider safety any favours either by portraying the FREE image. . It was all believe..........now if you believe then I think you need a certain amount of faith, and I'm glad there were lots of riders at one point, so there was lots of faith.

    I'm interested.

    Learn something new everyday, wonder what we learned today? I already knew that these things tend to fall over, but didn't know they could lay there that long. POOOR GEN.

    Oh Charlie, it's just getting grey, don't look in the mirror first thing in the morning, it would even scare me.

    Scamper laid down this summer all on her own with the trailer attached, never worried about it until now that you asked, everything turned out fine, but I didn't stop to look to see if she could get more tired than she already was before she would come unhooked.
