  1. Sorry Carl. Hope it comes back togather for you.
  2. BAH HUMBUG!! And to all a Happy New Year!!
  3. Hey Zzyzx. Didn't mean to steal your thread. How did the brakes come out?? It sounds as if you have one of the better set-ups there. Working good now?
  4. Something on road surface comes closer than anything I can grab holt of. Like differences in pavement. Bridge was blacktop with the squares of grid showing and then a change of the blacktop as if it had been repaved. I don't remember but locking the rear would not have upset me. Why did it (Highside)?? With the rear already sliding and seeing that I wasn't going to get stopped I would have grabbed a handful of front. BUT I had adjusted it til it was almost impossible to make it lock up. Don had it adjusted somewhat in that direction and I took it a little further. Again a but comes to mind- when checking this front it was never with the rear locked up ?? Could that have made this system lock the front as quickly as it seems it did??? I ain't quitting Bro. Just mouthing off. This one skeered me for some reason. One being the people in that horsepital that hurt me. I don't want to wake up in another like that!!! Dropping Silver got me 3 broken ribs they told me. The day of accident I was lying in bed checking to see how sore I was and planning how to get bike home and being pissed that I was missing MD. That night was a story from hell. I left that hospital with 12 broken ribs, a broken shoulder, a broken clavical, a busted head and a flail chest. I ain't quitting
  5. Have read and reread everything on that Puc. I didn't stomp the rear and had the front to where I could grab a handful if necessary without locking it up?? Something went wrong. I'm not one to panic in a brake incident but?? I used to lock up the 650s and 750s just to give folks a scare. Slide to a stop and watch them run trying to see what was gonna get them!! I just don't have a answer and its still eating at me. If I screwed up fine. I can handle that but not being able to figure it out.......:bang head: Closer to hanging it up than I been in a while. I try to keep it out of here and not dwell on it but???
  6. Yeah the older we get the slower we heal. Kinda get to acting like a 2nd Gen!! Do everything you can to keep that swelling down Jeff. It gets old but KEEP THE SWELLING DOWN!!!
  7. And I ain't missing nothing!!! :Avatars_Gee_George:I threw them out when they started acting NORMAL!!!
  8. missing by "taming down" to the Hardley as she pointed the Chevy out of town and back to the M&E that was getting into full swing as Yama Mama and Mini Muffin
  9. manner that the Bird knew wasn't gonna
  10. Silver has that Mod Puc which is another reason I was scratching my head. I can't find a good reason. I should have been able to stop! I didn't!!:think:
  11. Yeah they had the family gathered around fighting over who got to pull the plug on this one but..... Just sayin....They claimed if I did wake up I would be just a Veggie?? :think: Maybe they were right??
  12. Got the Sunshine!! Prayers Up!!!
  13. The thing is know a little about what you are working with and if it don't look as if you could trust it with your life don't use it!!!
  14. It can be taken apart and cleaned!! I don't like saying this because so many are ready to jump and say "Ya cain't play with brake parts stupid!" I have taken these things apart and very carefully cleaned them and put them back togather and they are still working. Skid remember when I told you I was having brake trouble with Sugar not long after I got her?? Same thing. I couldn't get Rear to "feel" as I thought it should. Good carefull cleaning and she is still going. Clean the metal parts with a good brake cleaner but I don't let that get on seals. Remove seals and clean with brake fluid!! And I have taken a seal from a old "parts" wheel cylinder and used it in the one I was working on. Just be very carefull with those parts and if you do damage a seal its time to start over.

  16. Wasn't going to say anything til the Bird brought it up but..... I have a Pontiac G6 (Impala Wannbe?) or the other way around? Thing is the Warden found it when I was prowling thru car lots. (Bad habit) and we ended up with it. Story here is it is a 4 banger. I was looking at it until we opened the hood on that 4 banger. I closed the hood and my words to her were " You've see enough! Forget it!!" The salesman then said "Just drive it. I felt the same as you about these 4 cylinders!" So we took it for a drive so she couldn't say I didn't give it a chance. Its still in our driveway!! That little thing is awlsome. And gets about 26-28 MPG with me and my foot driving it. Will run right with most V-6s. Not enough difference to write home about. My son ended up with a Bonnville V-6 about the same time and we both compared them. 4- Banger will shock you. V-6 does have more power but only if you got your foot thru the firewall. Other than that it is very hard to tell the difference. Got 70k on it already. I want to see how it handles 200k. Drive train is covered til 100k. It better not start acting up til past then, I could "Make" it blow and try to get a new one out of them??
