Looks like Earl Schibe is alive in well back east.

Yes.....

I have spent the past 27 years working for and with insurance companies. While what you say may be the case in this instance, in most of the cases it actually comes down to the path of least resistance. While the majority of the bikes I see in salvage yards are repairable if the owner were to do the repairs, but as soon as someone else is picking up the bill they want the stars and the moon plus whatever else they think they are entitled to.. Rather than fight with the owner, it is simply quicker and easier to hit the 75% and total the bike. There are some fantastic buys out there for those willing to invest some time and money. And you would be amazed at how many motorcycles have had salvage titles but are now being sold with a clean title.

Sweet.....

What? There's oil in a snow blower? ????

Congrats again. As for adjusting/syncing the carbs, the best person to talk to is Rocket. Also, you just might wan tot consider replacing the spark plug leads.

What does the warranty say?

https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/forms-documents/documents/salvageandbranding_just_the_facts.pdf If you go to this web site it will tell you everything you need to know about branded titles (and how to clear them) in MN.

is going to start getting more expensive in PA. Just heard on the news that folks in PA are now required to purchase a license before they can claim their road kill. And it is species specific with a sliding cost scale. Thank goodness road kill is still free here in Minnesoda, otherwise it would sure put a crimp in the Pork in the Pines chili.

You're about 7 years late. We already been there and done that. Twice if my memory is correct.

I didn't know Freebird was in Daytona.....

And if I remember correctly, a good 90% of them were donated.

I like this idea. A tiered 50/50 could be worked out and fairly simple to handle. And as I said earlier, economic times being what they are I suspect a lot more folks would be interested.

BUMP.

Too funny.

Actually, I think the officer should be reprimanded. The poor, misguided, under privileged boy was still able to sit up. Talk about a lousy shot, or make that 2 shots.

Given the current economy, a 50/50 might just be the way to go.....

Who says there is never a cop around when you need one....

I think that Marcarl and Eck have presented the feelings of the majority of folks who attend the IR and the other events hosted around the county. For the past couple of years I have had the feeling that the primary thoughts behind the planning for the IR has been to "out do" the preceding year. Make it bigger. Make it Better. Unfortunately, that throught process also has the unintended consequence of making it More Expensive. Some of the most enjoyable events I have attended have been Potato Creek One; Colorado, and Cody One and Two. You can't put a price on the memories or the friendships, and you don't find either of these on the prize table. At both the Colorado and the Cody International rally's the prize tables were bowed down with donations from vendors and members. While I can't speak from personal experience, it was my understanding that the rally held in Canada and the New York Rally were the same. For me, it is the little things with a personal touch. The spare gas can I received from Rocket after I ran out of gas in Yellow stone. An original copy of the Tee shirt design. The pins from Australia. The original intent of the "Grand Prize" was fund raising to cover those unanticipated (and sometimes unfortunate) expenses so that someone doesn't have to dig into their own pocket to cover. OK. Now I'll shut up....

Huh. Didn't see anywhere that said "Old". Just experienced. Yah know, I used to be indecisive. Not I'm just not sure.....

Well hopefully everything went out. Let me know if you don't get them.

And Condor, and Squidley, and Sarges46. And, and, oh heck, I guess this is for all our "experienced" riders. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/embed/HzSaoN2LdfU?fs=1

Frank, I was not able to print off the carb section of the manual directly to the computer. But I was able to print off a hard copy. Now, I can either scan them into the computer and send them as an attachment to your E-mail. Or, I can just drop them into the mail for you. Your call......

Sounds like another seat signing party is in order. Yes, those were the days my friend.....

Not unless someone has switched out the factory OEM carbs..
