    Oh hell! I figured it out! Tater has arrows!!!! Been a little skittish since my ex-wife gave me a t-shirt with a bullseye on the back. I'll just be over there by that tree. Never mind the apple. You NEVER saw the apple! Forget the damn APPLE! geesh.....what have I done?

    Count me in! I haven't had an offer like this since that darn phone company had me sign up for "Friends & Family" then dropped me because I didn't have any. I thought they were going to provide them! Guess I should have read the fine print. Hey.......wait.....where's the fine print on this offer? Hummm.....gotta be a catch here somewhere.

    I got to defend the Taurus. I had one I bought new in '93 and just sold it last year with 200,000+ miles on her. Still all orginal motor, tranny, suspension, steering and even the exhaust. Oil changes and tires were all that car seemed to need. I have a '95 Lincoln TC with 186,000 on it now and it will probably make 250,000 without breaking a sweat. Dey been bery bery good to me.

    Man that brings back memories! Back in the '70 we raced on Carter lake here in Nebraska. All we ran was dirt bikes with the tires spiked but that was more than enough of a rush to keep the blood from freezing up! It wasn't until years later that we went "What the hell were we thinking!" I'd do it again.

    Bingo! Been wanting to add one of those to remind me where I need to go next.

    Got mine from Rick over at Buckeye Performance in Ohio. About $7.00 each I think they were.

    Yeppers on the half way point in the glass. But here is a copy of the Yammy tech info on connecting the drain line to the breather hose. It's a lousy copy but it will give the basic idea. If the oil level is correct the drain line doesn't have much to do.

    The bikes started ok ......right? I gotta make fun while I can. It was 48 yesterday and I got in a ride. It's 19 now and going to be 2 tonight with winds up to 40 mph. The winds are from the NORTH!!!! Thanks guys! I remember being in Moose Jaw and waking up in the morning with the snow half way up the door of my vehicle. That was a Kenworth tractor! I'll just wait here until spring thank you. :cold:

    Already did Bongo. Nice looking rig. I thought mine came out looking pretty nice but yours is excellent.

    You got a PM

    What he said Mike was he could fit him AND his wife inside the shirt together which is actually rather suggestive and creating a visual image that is not appropriate for this site. So I'm glad I got the shirt to keep them from doing that. Eww! :rotfl:
  14. Snaggletooth
    Somehow this all looks somehow familiar........... Now you know why the shirt caught my eye. How many of these blondes did they make anyway? This shot was right after I got done restoring it. A whole got of shiny stuff stuck to it after that. You have great looking bike there.

    What? Who? Me? Sniping? No speaky engrish! LOL! Man that bid sat at like $2.25 or whatever for a long time and I figured nobody was watching it any more. When I logged on last night there was like 2 minutes left so I popped in a bid and saw it jump right up to the $9.50 so I knew somebody was stalking in the shadows. So who's the sniper now? But my apologies Bongo. Didn't mean to snatch it out from under ya but man, it's hard for us big boys to look sharp these days. I was surprised nobody grabbed it on the "Buy it now". Gotta go clean my rifle for the next auction. LOL!

    Hey Condor! Thanks for the heads up on that. Got the 3xl for a pretty decent price. Would have missed that one if you hadn't mentioned it. Couldn't pass it up with the logo being a blonde and all.

    I'm not a guru on this but it seems like that is pretty normal for these bike. Lots of draw on the system with those 1157 firing up. Any add on lights will only make it more dramatic.

    I do have a question on the CB's. I've never seen one from a VR and I can't remember what year they quit using the 23 channel ones. In my early days everything was 23 with about 5 or 6 watts and then they dropped the power to about 3 watts when they went to 40 channels. What are the VR CB's? 23? Any idea howmay watts?

    Mike. Maybe these will help.

    Man ya say "nipple" one time and all of a sudden everybody is awake. LOL!

    Hey Mike. Yeppers, the PO on mine had zip tied the damn thing up along the the left down tube and it led up to to inside the fairing on the lsft side to behind the head light. Had my fairing off 3 times until I posted a pic and somebody jumped in and told me what it was. The PO had apparently broken the nipple off the airbox so he just epoxied the hole shut and moved the line to somewhere else. I had spent many evenings with the parts break downs and a flashlight looking at every component behind the fairing. Grrrr! One of many surprises from the PO. The man was challenged I tell ya! LOL! Ya get your springs figured out on your exhaust tips?
  22. Snaggletooth
    Ah hah! I'm not alone! Drove me nuts for a month until I found out where it went. It's a drain hose that attaches to the front left bottom side of the air box. If up get your hand up in there you will feel a nipple that it attaches to. There was a tech article from Yammy years ago that was a mod to shorten the line from the air box and splice it into that damned dog legged breather hose from the crank case instead of letting it drip under the bike.

    There is one intersection on my way to work that drives me nuts. Four lanes divided by islands from each way and the road I'm on is a slight uphill grade. There are 9 manhole covers in a 50 foot section between both the lanes on my side of the road starting from the section where you stop and then all the way across the intersection. I look like a drunken sailor trying to get through that intersection on my bike when it wet out. I've hit them straight on enough times wet and had the bike side step on me that I try to avoid them completely by weaving through them. Not bad in light traffic but I do tend to tie things up a bit when I get stuck at the light and have to get started again. Even when I drive my car, a 3,700 lb Lincoln, the drive tires break loose going over the damn things. Of course the heavy truck traffic keeps them well oiled also.

    Well you are doing pretty well and everybody here speaks the univeral language. Motorcycle! So when the time comes I'm sure that someone on the board will be able to hook you up with a dealer that rents bikes. These guys seem like they can set up about anything. Most the time they organize eating but then again you have to ride to get to the food. Later Mike

    So what's wrong with his english? I understand him better than some of the guys I work with. LOL!
