    A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale 'He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there. 'You talk?' he asks. 'Yep,' the Lab replies. After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, what's your story?' The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.' 'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running... But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.' 'I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.' The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. 'Ten dollars,' the guy says. 'Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?' 'Because he's a Bull****ter. He's never been out of the yard'

    I may get lucky and get out for a ride Saturday if friday's rains wash the salt off the roads and they dry up. Shipping in the area is down for the winter

    You'd probably be out-gunned without the rocket launchers to back it up !

    In picture 5, is the hole to the right the shift shaft hole ? Just trying to orient myself as to where the drain plug is.

    No need to cut them ! All you need to do is take up the slop in the lever with the small adjustment screw at the lever pivot point. When there's slop it allows enough lever movement to kick out the cruise.

    Now that you mention that and I think about it, the carving style of the other corks looks more like the royal doulton beer stines I have.
  10. ragtop69gs
    Yes they are. I have a few more bottle corks in my collection and never knew they were "Anri". SEE an old dog can learn something new Still trying to figure out what the 2 small ones are.

    You are correct about the kissing couple Looking at the ebay postings, this matches both in style and mechanics. A closer look at it reveals that it was glued to the base it now sits on. Thanks Don

    I have a few items from my fathers estate that I'm having trouble identifying. None of these items have any type of identifying markings on them. I remember seeing these in my grandmothers home when I was a young child. The 2 smaller figurines appear to be some type of resin cast. The double headed one is hand carved wood with a lever that raises and turns the heads as if they are kissing. I would classify it as Black folk art or Black Slavery Americana. Any help with info or points of reference would be great.

    That is not entirely true. There is a metal liner, but it does not run the full length of the manifold, 1/3rd on each end has the liner, the center 3rd is unlined to isolate any vibration, so it is possible for a leak to develop, but not likely. I had deep cracks and when I changed them out I cut one of them in half, none were all the way through. I have pics somewhere, when i find them I'll post them.

    Can't help with antique parts, but you may want to replace the master cylinder with a good one, you don't want to ruin the replacements when the superglue decides to let go.

    I hope you have hired some armed escorts thru some of the lawless areas you'll be traveling. My cousin and a buddy drove to Rio for the festival and those escorts saved their hide a few times. With that said, Have a great ride, a safe ride, and above all HAVE FUN !! Oh and one more thing, We want to see lots of PICTURES

    Just one comes to mind right now, it's an easy install. Here's a picture of it so you can work out the installation procedures.
