The artist James Franco has been hired as a consultant by Goldman-Sachs, so I guess he has a real job now.

Bob, let me know if you will be in Gainesville, and I'll meet you there.

how many miles with no valve adjustment??
RandyR replied to kyle's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
On a few of the engines I have helped with, or gotten feedback on because my kit was used, some of the valves were on the loose side of the spec, even after 50,000 miles of no adjustment. That makes me wonder if the factory set them correctly in spec. On Sleeperhawk's bike this past weekend, some were out of spec tight, and some loose. Go figure? -
Well, we've had heavy rain since yesterday afternoon here, and its supposed to continue all day. A storm front has stopped right over the top of us. Did you get here?

Bob, I have a kit with shims and a tool that can be borrowed. I ask that any shims used be replaced and if you break the tool, replace it. MiCarl sells both. PM me. Randy -

The valve adjustment is the same on 1st and 2nd gens (and Vmax). The hw you have to move out of the way may vary. -
There are several good general stores/gas stations with sandwich shops north of Suches along Hwy 60. Martins has hand dipped icecream....

Father's Day at the Sleeperhawks' House
RandyR replied to Sleeperhawks Mechanic's topic in Watering Hole
Thanks for the lunch and pie Bobby. It was great seeing everyone. On the ridehome, I thought I was going to get rained on when I got into Georgia, but I managed to skirt the clouds. -
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.

prayers go out for your Mom. -
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.
