Kids Are Different These Days, Who Knew!?!?
Venturous Randy replied to skydoc_17's topic in Watering Hole
Probably a good thing I am not the kid's dad. RandyA -
I do not like mustard. One drop of mustard on a sandwich and that is all I taste. I don't like mustard. I have gotten to the point that if I am ordering a sandwich that normally comes with mustard, I will tell the cashier or waitress that I don't want mustard and that if I take even one bite, with me being highly allergic to mustard, that I will immeiately go into convulsions. So far it has worked and I hate to have to do that, but if I don't get their attention, I will usually end up with mustard. RandyA

Ya know, to a lot of guys, the way we talk about our bikes makes just about as much sense as this video. And, this may include a few on here. RandyA

I can guarantee you that if you win a 100 million that you are going to have more friends than you could have imagined and more family. I may play a couple times a month and when I do play, I will get one big game lotto and a Tennessee mega-millions. After reading this post yesterday, I looked at my tickets and realized that the clerk had given me a Tennessee mega-millions and a Tennessee cash, which only pays out $220,000 as a max prise. I did not even have the Big Lotto. So, since I did not get the right ticket and it was an easy pick also, maybe that helped your son's easy pick to land on him. My frustration with the lottery systems is with them adding more numbers. I remember when it was about 43 numbers and now it up in the 50's. Every number added on changes the chance of winning by a bunch. RandyA

Hey, they are giving my retirement program to somebody else. Wow, I will ocassionally spend a buck on a lottery ticket just so I can go through a short period of time of dreaming "What if". RandyA

I would have thought that the 2nd gen bikes would have all had the newer shift mechinism that did not have the pins, but the parts diagram for this bike does show the pins. As noted, this is not a difficult fix if that is the problem and most likely it is. One thing you could do is contact the yamaha shop and get a quote and share it with the guy selling the bike and he may even be more motivated to get rid of it. RandyA

Another part if this situation is that there were three bikes riding together and two of them had already passed the two cars. This tends to make the last rider in that group even more impatient. But, this also should have given the driver of the car even more warning that the bike behind him was going to do the same thing. This is one of those events that to me is a crash, it is not an accident. There was not anything that was accidental in this situation. It was a set of intentional events that had very poor timing.

If I were you, there would not be a probably to it. That would be on the top of my list. They may not save your life, but you may have a lot more witnesses in what is happening. RandyA

Do you know whether the cop even seen what happened? He may not have noticed what happened. The thing about loud horns is that the cop and even others may have seen what was happening. It may have kept someone else from running over you if you had gone down. It is amazing how poor most horns are on bikes. I have no doubt that my air horns have saved my life or serious injury. I would really love to see this thread motivate others to look at the horn issue, maybe as a winter project. RandyA

Kirby, what kind of horn are you running on your bike? RandyA

Wow, hate to hear this and glad it is not worse. Hope everything turns out OK. RandyA

My response is "before we start, please understand I don't enjoy fighting, so please understand that I don't fight fair. So don't get mad if I gouge you in your eyes and blind you, or bite an ear off or do everything I can do to make sure you will never have anymore kids or even enjoy trying." RandyA

I suspect the one on here started as a 56 four door wagon. I also bet it was not a Nomad. If it were a real 56 El Camino, it would be worth a fortune like an 83 Corvette would be. Speaking of rare Chevrolets, there was supposedly only one 1965 Z-16 convertable Chevelle SS. That car would be worth at least a quarter million or more. It came stock with a 375hp 396 engine. I saw a hardtop listed recently for $189,000. Listing: http://www.oldride.com/classic_cars/692374.html RandtA

The earlist El Camino that I am familar with is the 59. I had a 64 and still have a 79 with a warmed over 327 in it. RandyA

Wow, you got your bike back and in less than a week it will be the first day of summer. The only thing better is having three summers in a row without a winter. Glad ya got it back and enjoy it. RandyA

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. RandyA

It matters a lot on my laptop if I am wireless or hard wired. Due to my wireless going pooey last week, I am now hard wired. It is much faster. RanyA

Most likely cleaning bearings and race and retighten will solve most of this. Usually dried grease. RandyA

Gee, I need to know what anti-depression pills you are on. They seem to be working a lot better than mine. RandyA

Interesting how this stuff works. Our local speed camera is about five miles from Bristol Motor Speedway and twice a year, Bluff City, TN will issue about 500 tickets during those weeks. But, if you pay the ticket, they don't notify your insurance. For any type of mechanical device used to measure speed or noise, it must be discriminating enough to determine the actual offender. For noise, with two bikes running near each other, one quite and one loud, who gets the ticket? This is also why I have a radar detector on my bike. I have less bounce back from radar than a truck a distance behind me and I don't want his ticket if he is speeding and I am not. RandyA

Fixing an Auto Keyless Entry Remote ?
Venturous Randy replied to GolfVenture's topic in Watering Hole
Not sure how that unit works, but on my Maxima, you program the car to the remote. Anytime I had to program the car, I had to reprogram it to all remotes. When I had two dark green Maximas, one for me and one for my now ex, both cars were programed to all remotes. If the cars were setting together, when I used the remote, both cars would lock or unlock simultaneously. If they were parked side by side, like at a restaurant, it was neat to watch people walk by and both cars blink at the same time. I could also roll down the front windows with the remote. That also tripped people out when standing beside the car. The downside was if I unlocked the trunk on one, both unlocked. RandyA -

So you are saying there is no fuel flow at idle around the needle and jet? RandyA

After shimming my needles, I have gotten around 48 several times two up and running back roads. I believe shimming made the bike run better and took away a lot of the idle rich smell. I recommend it highly. RandyA
