yep. But you have to do it in time.

There's another great motorcycle museum not too far from Asheville, NC in Maggie Valley, NC called Wheels Thru Time. http://www.wheelsthroughtime.com/

I'm thinking this place has small portions. This is supposed to be dinner for 2? I'm certain I could eat this much by myself. http://www.provinos.com/dinner2.jpg

Makes me wonder if the throttle somehow jammed wide open?

I have a USA-purchased Tracfone. works fine. You can add minutes or extend the time without getting a new program card. btw the tracfone I have works more places than the more expensive T-mobile I had previously. For those thinking about doing this as a permanent cell phone, some tracfone phones come with the option to provide doubleminutes. ie: when you buy 100 minutes of connect time you really get 200, etc. For one bought in the USA, I can place international calls, but it costs 'extra' minutes. They have a website which explains this.

I have a Tracfone which I bought at Walmart for $19 and It came with 120 minutes talk time and 90 days of service. One can buy additional talk time and months of service. You could consider it disposable.

Time for a Valve check/adjustment, any fellow Texans interested?
RandyR replied to LilBeaver's topic in Watering Hole
If you have several people that want to do theirs at the same time, I can make a 2nd kit available to you. -
I hope business is good for them. There have been too many shops close the last few years.

good for him. But, he still won't be able to tell you what he does....

yes sir. They get tighter, not looser with use. Somewhat counter intuitive, but happens this way as the valves pound/wear into the heads I'm told. So if I found one a little out of spec on the loose side I'd probably just leave it alone. Which brings up another line of thinking... What do those who've worked on the engines think about torquing to spec the head bolts as part of this procedure? And. if one ever torques the head bolts, should valve clearance be a must do follow-on procedure?

Are we going to have a 'donation' jar set out for the judges to be able to buy a bowl and spoon with, or some other way to help defray the cost of ingredients?

Thats 1 lucky person's experience (you). Please don't tell everyone they don't need to check their machines based on your good luck. Of the dozen machines with over 26K that have used my kit they all required at least some adjustment.

good to hear the news. take it easy for a while though.

EBC makes 2 kinds of pads. Organic and metallic (HH I believe). The metallic are harder on the rotors. Organic pads are made with man made fibres such as Kevlar or Twaron bonded together with a petrochemical resin and sintered metal pads are copper alloy fused together under heat and pressure. http://www.ebcbrakes.com/motorcycle_brake/organic_brake_pads/index.shtml If one can lock up the wheel with organic pads, I see no reason to use metallic. That said, lots of people use them without ill effect to their rotors. There are a few other kinds of pad material available from other venders.

Somewhere on this forum is a thread about placing a shim washer on one of the rear brake mounting bolts which is claimed to even out the wear.

Here are a few pictures of Flyinfool's tool next to a commercial tool. We're planning on using it this weekend. -

Looks like a BMW airhead engine powering it. With legs dangling down like that, I suspect its only a matter of time until he breaks one of them. neat machine. I want one.

If you recall there has been serious flooding along the Mississippi, which is where the Missouri feeds into.

There's not many places one can use a bike like that, without getting in trouble with john law. putt putt putt
