Keep that thought just in case.

Tried that one right off......first took the air cleaner off to see if it moved when I cracked the throttle,which it did not. Then reached down with a long screw driver to see if it moved freely which it did. than poured seafoam directly down the carbs cranked the engine a bit and let it sit for 1/2 hour. After that I took it for a short run and smoked out the whole neighbour hood. Finally decided I best take the truck to work.

A Newfie is kind of like a red neck with a great sense of humour. Not to mention the friendlest and most down to earth people you ever want to meet.

A beautiful afternoon, uncovered my VR all set to ride it to work ..........and what do I get but a dead cylinder. So now I get to work on my bike instead of riding it.

I hate to say it but it is still cheaper to put gas in the bike and go go for a nice ride, then it is to go out for dinner or a movie.

I have had vertigo twice in my life, and feel assured it has nothing to do with getting old, as I was in my 30's the 1st time and in my 40's the second time. It can be the result of a minor inner ear infection as well as something as serious as a inner ear disease, such as Meniere's disease. For me the worst part was the constant motion sickness, caused by the dizziness. For this I found gavol or other motion sickness medication, often used by travellers worked wonders. It did not get rid of the dizziness and loss of balance but it sure got rid of that nauseated feeling that goes along with it and that in itself is a big blessing.

So what do you think, did I get my money's worth out of these pads?

We still have a machine at work for turning drums and rotors but shop labour cost has gone up so much that it is cheaper to replace them -
I rebuilt my entire bike using Plastex. If the liquid is acetone it sure does not smell like it. If you look at the pic. the white tabs on my fairing are entirely made of plastex using the ptty like mold form included in the kit. one of my fairings is actually two put together to make one.

SOund you want sound............ how about the sound of ball bearings pinging off of the grill of some caged rice racer riding your A## or purposely cutting you off ...............Now that is a sweet sound.

Actually if you look closer you will see they are of both types two open when you squeeze the handles for external lock rings and two close when you squeeze the handles for internal lock rings, it is in the way the pivot is designed. If you look closly you will see how the handlse of the one pair crossover at the pivot, while the handles of the other set do not, they remain parrellel acting on the same principal as tetter totter. The problem I have always found with the interchangable type is A) because the tips ar often offset they do not hold the ring as well and B) they do not reach into deep bores as well. and C) if the snap ring is of a very rigged nature the interchangable tips often just rotate in the tool if you try to use the offset tips.

I mostly do the same on one occasion many years ago while riding with a friend I stayed over to the left track of the left lane so my riding partner could take the right track. Next thing I knew a cager passed the vehicle in the right lane by driving between me and the other vehicle, almost putting me in the gaurd rail. A lesson well learned and never forgotten.

I have always prefered a set of single purpose snap ring oliers over the multipurpose type. they are inexpensive, strong, slim enough to fit into most tight places and come in a variety of sizes and angle both for inside or outside snap rings. check this link to a sample of some http://www.princessauto.com/workshop/hand-tools/clamping-gripping-tools/snap/lock-ring-pliers/8007364-4-pc-7-snap-ring-pliers-set The tips are tapered so to fit the snapring hole exactly for larger snap rings I simply grind the ends back until the tip fits. A perfect fit allows the pliers to hold the ring better so you don't have to listen to it fly across the room.
