    Enjoy your ride

    i stink at Facebook. i'm only 38 but i feel like a cranky old man sometimes on there. i get used to how it's set up and then they change mess. then i complain and get grumpy and don't get on for a while. then i give in and the cycle continues. :) how are you doing?

    Is this the future of motorcycle parking at Wal-Mart

    Our Walmarts aren't doing that. Good for them on providing spots. I agree, they could be in a better spot... but still... they're motorcycle specific spots. Not bad.

    Motorcycle running on water?

    Great if it works well. But for some reason I just hear people saying... There isn't enough water to run all those bikes. You're giving us a water shortage. It's always something with people. But this is cool. Hope he gets somewhere with it.

    Enjoy your ride

    Yes I am. Now what was a big stunner and concern is at one point I had neuropathy in my hands from the chemo. It was actually so bad that I lost the use of my thumbs. I couldn't open jello. But that also meant I couldn't play my bass or my guitar. That was tough. Thankfully a friend bought...

    Enjoy your ride

    Been a while sense I've been here. Not even sure any of the people I know are still here, but I was thinking about y'all today. Weather has been nice, people have been riding and I saw a nice FZ-6 today. I just wanted to say, enjoy your rides and ride often. You never know when you won't be...

    Whats your Favorite Rock song's?

    here's the motorhead song I thought of. Motörhead - Ace Of Spades - YouTube Sadly, not on my bike. I've had a busy season of life. It's probably been about a year since I've ridden. Obviously not a whole lot of time to hang out around here. I'm hoping to get everything up and running in...

    Whats your Favorite Rock song's?

    thanks for posting that. didn't know he was doing anything. had a motorhead vibe to it... his vocals remind me a lot of lemmy. back on the one tour i saw metallica in concert. jason sang a song (i think it was either ride the lightning or creeping death) and i remember thinking that he...

    Wow..

    i agree. nothing wrong with a group ride. but these guys were going the wrong way, not respecting the laws and not respecting everyone else on the road.

    Wow..

    gotta agree. we were coming home from church a month or so ago and there was a large group like this... running lights... lane splitting (which i'm in favor of except that it's illegal)... going the wrong way... zipping in front of cars... and just over all giving motorcyclists a bad name. we...

    Oil change problem (kind of long winded)

    the link provided is GREAT. only thing to add has to do with putting the oil filter back on. based on the amount of tools you have i'm going to assume you don't have a torque wrench to be able to tighten the filter to the correct torque specs. that's fine, neither do i (or many other people...

    Paint the engine?

    ^^^^ exactly. was just getting ready to comment about making sure you clean the engine and get all grease and junk off or you paint won't stick. prep work is the key to any good paint job.

    Paint the engine?

    yeah, he doesn't answer a whole lot of questions in that thread. all he really says is that he taped everything off that he didn't want black. maybe send him a pm? it'd be nice if he had a write up in that thread. sorry i can't help anymore than that.

    ahhh, i halfway expected it. but since i don't have to have the money... and will be buying something from motorcyclegear in the future... i'm not worried if no one wants to do an even swap. and i figured there'd be at least one that'd have something to say. no biggie. thanks for jumping in...
