    Rode my 89 to an ADRider bike night last night and got a lot of compliments on the bike. Most people like the old bikes.

    Knowing that this could happen to any of us at any time. Sent a PayPal. Wish him luck with his recovery. If everybody just sent a little, I'm sure it would add up to a lot. Good Luck.

    The stuttering is caused from the speed of a 1st Gen. 2nd Gens just whine... or so I'm told...

    So I have the opportunity to pick up these two 83 MK1 carcasses. I have been out of town so it has taken a while to try to finish this deal. I went back and really looked over them. My intention is to store them and just have the parts available. I would like to sell enough parts to cover the cost of the bike then the parts, nuts, bolts etc are there to pass on. Can you guys look at these pictures and tell me if there are parts here worth selling/keeping and passing on ? I have a few people interested in some of the parts already, just trying to figure out if it is worth putting the money out for them. What do you think they are worth paying for ? The fuller carcass has what appears to be: Good solid front forks ( not leaking) with anti-dive units. Good front fender Good Rims front & back Good right lower fairing Left side mirror ( light scratches on back) Good radiator Good right rear bag Left front turn signal lens Handle bars 1 chrome vent cover Misc chrome bars on sides two complete rear turn signals rear trailer hitch trailer light connector and wiring Most of the CLASS system ( condition unknown) Seat carcass Misc electrical connectors Engine looks mostly complete, but missing carbs and been left open to rain and elements.

    You just can't make up some of the stuff I see while sitting on surveillance... I thought of BigTom when I saw this.... :ICwink: Of course the last picture just may have been BigTom looking for the Rescue truck...

    I am getting ready to do the tank on my 1960 GMC Burb and was told that a 50/50 mixture of pool acid and water will clean it out nicely. Bought the acid, haven't had time to try it.

    Just make a complete new wire with a new resister from the accessory screw to the connector. If you hook power straight up you will damage stuff. You only need one correct resister.

    Oh My Gosh !!! You joined ! Now I have to call off the hit squad. You need to post pictures of your 1st Gen beauty. It's a classy bike. Glad to have help building the Southern Arizona 1st Gen squad.

    Just ordered 2 sets... hopefully it will help with the gas smell my 89 has developed and since the 87 is apart..why not ? Sounds fast and easy for a small amount of $$$.

    But doesn't the correct answers cost more ?

    I heard you get senile and buy a 2nd Gen....hey...just what I heard....

    I have seen a difference in my bike mileage when I use a "heavier" dose of Seafoam. Maybe due to a heavier throttle usage while I was trying to clean out the carbs ???? My story and sticken to it ! My bad. But I have used it in much heavier than recommended doses in the past and cut way back because of my perception of lower mileage when I use it.

    I found the best way to get rid of the whine is to stay way ahead of the 2nd Gen trying to catch up. Ear plugs work too in case the 2nd Gen rider is really loud... I'm sorry....but it was left soooo wide open .....

    My whole 89 got away from me since yesterday. I rode it to a point, then my son showed up with my Tahoe and took the bike.... finally heard from him at 5Pm today...he asked what I was doing..my response was " Working on YOUR bike ! " Gotta get the 87 on the road or I will never see my 89. At least he has been converted from the crotch rocket lifestyle !

    Every time I have seen my Grand Princess, I have sat her on my knee with her holding on to the "handle bars" ( AKA my thumbs) while I made motor noises and bounced her on my knee. Just got her a real 1st Gen..AKA dinosaur "bike". At 7 1/2 months old...she LOVES it ! She holds on to the handle bars and makes her own lip noise. Cries if you stop pushing her or trying to take her off it. Now to figure out how to fit a baby seat on my bike with out Mommy or Grandma knowing...

    I've been on the fence about joining since I travel so much, but like it's been said, even being there once would be worth it if it comforts one person or family. My daughter's unit lost 3 during her tour. When they did the final formation for "dismissal" after Green Ramp, I turned to see the father of one of the fallen heroes standing beside me with tears streaming down his face, knowing his son wasn't there to be dismissed back to their family. I put my arm on his shoulder and cried with him. No words were said. One of the saddest times for me. My daughter was injured, but survived. I feel lucky and blessed every day that she came home.
