  1. Would have left them something in the seat!!!:rotfl:
  2. Had three in back yard this morning about 5:00 looking at me like, "What are you doing out here this early?".
  3. Also can't get transmisson to go in gear. Maybe pull clutch plates and clean?? Not sure what would cause that but maybe getting engine running to move gears around in there will cure this. No brakes,no clutch, engine won't run, but it sure is pretty. One of the do-dads on it is a guage to tell you your lean angle like the one for wings of a plane. If I get over far enough to need that guage I'm probally going to be a little too interested in other things to look at guage!!
  4. You are right about that. All the calipers are going to have to be done. Hoping masters are not. Wire connectors without being Di-Electric greased don't like that sitting either. It sat in heated garage and just got baked. Probally been lot better without heat. And I think more than the 3 yrs he claims. I am stubborn, will take closer look at carbs today but swapping them is probally best way to go. They were stuck on bike so tight I used 24 in breaker bar across corner of valve covers and under edge of carbs and a lot more pressure than I wanted to use just to break them loose from intake boots. Yes clamps were loose. Took a while to get them out of there without bending anything. This one has a lot of promise but going to be interesting.
  5. I would have to starty the day before I wanted to be where I was going then. Ain't got the time!!
  6. I was going to guess 1920....
  7. You remember I got a "New" 1st Gen not long ago and been trying to find time to get carbs off and clean them to get it running. Bike shows 22k and owner swore that was right. Lot of goodies on it and needs cleaned badly. i finally got a little time to pull carbs today. He claimed it had never sat outside was in heated garage all its life. 25 yrs!! when I pulled carbs every thing I got to was stuck. Crud on carbs and bottom of air box was hard to believe. Bike does look good but makes me wonder where all that came from. And plugs are gone so someone has been in carbs. They are so dirty I'm thinking of swapping with "Blue Beast" I don't know of any place that soaks the things any more. Something wrong with that being that dirty. Might be 122k. I hope not and it sounds too good what few seconds I could get it to run priming it. I'll keep everyone posted. Carbs off the "Blue Beast"??? Hate to take that engine apart. Parts bike runs too good to take things from. i need another 1st Gen. Never have too many. Didn't mean to write book just thinking out loud and know there are a few wondering about the scoot.
  8. What ever you done it was almost as quick as a 1st Gen. Didn't even know it happened!!
  9. Yeah Squid you ain't bad looking at all but I'd try loosing that guy in the hat. He looks a little strange!!!!!!
  10. Staying warm not what he expected!!
  11. That Raider is really sharp. And the Warden said "I told you to buy a new one. But all those things sitting out there got to go." Just can't do it!!
  12. That just ain't right!!!
  13. My convicts make road signs along with license plates.
  14. Dang Mark!! Been trying to convince myself its time to start running and working out again. You ain't helping!!! Heal up good before you try that again!!
  15. I think there is one on E-Bay now. They usually go pretty cheap.
  16. Is it Politics when those 2nd Gens try to pretend they can run with the real motorcycles??????
  17. Takes care of the skeeters.
  18. You know we always behave ourselves when you are gone. Well anyway most of us most of the time.
  19. Political?? I can barely spell it.
  20. In a kinder gentler way? Don't think so. How about........???? Don't let your fingers write checks your a** can't cash?? Look beforeyou leap?? Hey! Its 4am and I can't sleep!!!
  21. Squid's idea sounds like it might be better in your case than Trike. Have you thought of it?
  22. 543. Still raining outside got to do something.
  23. if I had my choice of a new one it would be a 84 Std. I think. Course it would have to be Blue. Chase one of those Red ones all day and you wonder which one is the fastest. 120 MPH in third gear ain't too slow. Why they put 5th gear on them is still a mystery!!
  24. There is a rumor about that but I've been riding Yammys since 1976 when the last Hardly went bye-bye so............. I ain't talking
  25. Lady and Blue bike don't look bad but........ Oh Falls are pretty too. Warden said she would like to see them.
