  1. I'm in enough trouble already!! I'm staying in my corner!!!
  2. Really tugs at the strings Lew.
  3. They want 7k right off. Don't know how long since started. Not locked up. There is rust in tank. TOO much money I told him and he didn't seem to care for that idea. Probally a good one to stay away from.
  4. Sounds like I need to do some more checking. I should have known there wasn't a 62. Wasn't sure when they checked out but should have remembered it was in 50's. Did Enfield make them until 62? If it is a custom it still might be something I could make money with. Or just keep at the right price.
  5. Haven't got to see it yet just know its a Chief.
  6. Whats it worth?? I found one in a garage. Been there 25 yrs. But some other people found it to.
  7. I did. A lot of years ago. But I got tired of sitting beside the road waiting for somebody to come and get me.....not trying to Hardley bash the newer ones have came a long way. My last one was a 56 Pan.
  8. IT's BLUE!!!!

  10. Scott have you shown a pic of that punch mark?? With 6 MK1s you would think I would get lucky once. I'm hoping on my "Black Beauty" 83 with the new frame.
  11. Randy how did that 01 work out?? Am I going to regret bowing out of that auction the next time I see that 83??
  12. No and no on the 1st Gen and i'm pretty sure no on the 2nd Gen but I'll let somebody else chime in.
  13. Something will fix him soon!!
  14. How Much:mo money: Another good reason to keep my 1st Gen..:whistling: Already got centerstand. Shock don't go out. Better looking bike. Faster. Faster. Better looking.
  15. I don't believe it either!!!:whistling: Who you calling Old???
  16. Sounds like a good Idea!!
  17. Got it square. Now I'm going to move it.
  18. I missed this one. Must have something to do with getting OLD and SLOW!! You know what I mean?? Like some folks around here are getting...... HAVE A GREAT ONE. Hug Lonna once for me. Or maybe twice!!
  19. Let us know how it works. I have a old one too.
  20. Yeah if you can't eat all that Ice Cream yourself I'm sure we can find somebody to help....
  21. SEA-FOAM SOAK You need about a 1/2 can of Sea-Foam and some fresh gas along with a piece of some kind of line that will work as fuel line about a foot or 18 inches long. Pull the side covers. Find fuel pump on the left side and remove the in line from the tank. Unless your shutoff valve works good I usually use a small pair of vice grips to clamp this off so it doesn't leak. Clamp it off and just leave hanging. (Petcocks are usually stubborn on these things.) Attach the extra line where you removed this one so you can pull the mix into the carbs and pump.It would help now to go around and open drain screws on carbs and drain what you can. Don't forget to close drain screws. Then mix your 1/2 can of Sea-Foam with fresh gas. I just fill the can the rest of the way up. If you have a full can just dump 1/2 of it in the tank or in a container to save. Or pour the Sea-Foam into something like a glass jar so you can see it to work with it. I use a Mason jar. Now add enough fresh gas to make it about a 1/2 & 1/2 mixture or a little stronger. If carbs are very bad I go about 2/3s Seafoam 1/3 gas. Now you need three hands. Insert line into mixture and start bike. Run until you are sure carbs are full of this mixture. Shut it off and leave sit overnight or longer. I have left them 3 or 4 days like this when I was busy. The gas you added to the mix will help you with restart. If you user pure Sea-Foam you will have a time getting it to restart. Hook everything back up after you have let it soak and start it up. It will cough, belch, fart, smoke and hiccup till the Sea-Foam clears out. But it should start to run better. Sometimes this can cost you a set of plugs. I throw a cheap set of used plugs in before I do this sometimes. You can get Autolites for about a buck and a half each. I have used This to clean some very dirty carbs. I hate to pull the blasted things. I did my 1st Venture about 5 or 6 times and finally one day it took off and ran like a "Blue Beast" Anyway Thats what I do and I rarely pull those carbs.Did I mention I hate that?? GOOD LUCK.!!!
  22. Loosen lid on clutch master. Make sure air can escape Pull clutch handle it against handlebar and tie it down. Leave sit overnight and your clutch will be bled.
  23. My oldest son has the bulging discs and can't get them to do anything about them. Outstanding wrestler all thru school paying for it now. They give him shots to reduce the swelling and they only last for a few days. Those shots are rough to take. His doctor don't want to give pain pills. He has a great job with phone company but this is holding him back.
  24. Yeah you ought to see "Brown Sugar" try to run away and hide. But you have to look Quick!!! She is almost as bashfull as I am!!
