  1. What year / model is this ?
  2. You have two black frame and one red frame ?
  3. And the 1st thing you do is jump up to see how many were watching ?
  4. Agostini is a good place to shop and get stuff . Do not plan on returning ANYTHING . The VAT will kill you
  5. If you are stripping the bike , how about a l.h. bar ? Mine is kinda bent now .
  6. Were you a rational teenager ? Neither was I . ALL teenagers need to do two years in the military PERIOD . R Lee Ermy would be a great motivational speaker . The big difference between R Lee and my dad ? My dad meant what he said .
  7. I think we should get everyone to start using pedal cars & tricycles . No bicycles . Why ? Because they are the most efficient mode of transportation and I don't own any bicycle manufacturing companies .
  8. And what year is this bike ? It becomes important at installation time !
  9. Those Ohlin's on a bike look as good as it gets !
  10. If it matters , Aerostitch on Bibendum might have helped IDK . I do know I need to practice my squats . 2020 was when I had my knees replaced and I just haven't ridden until about 6 weeks ago. My knees will not allow me to put the balls of my feet on the pegs , SO I will have to practice , practice , practice .
  11. ATGATT !
  12. Well , yesterday morning I pulled into the Waffle Hut to stop for breakfast , came to a complete stop and couldn't get my foot off the peg fast enough....timber . Remember Arte Johnson / tricycle incident from Rowan & Martin's Laugh In . That was me. Bike did pretty good , L.H bar end , turn signal lens , spark plug cap are the only apparent damage. I didn't = dislocated / separated / torn shoulder or something and this HURTS. The good thing - I have kept all my string of get-offs at < 1 mph intact.
  13. These fork seals on USD forks have the least amount of "tension" I have ever found on anything labeled as a seal so these need TLC. The most attention , the most care , the best fork oil , the BEST seals PERIOD . I remember reading an article on USD fork maintenance where Yamaha was recommending removing the seal spring ang cutting X number of turns out of the spring to get a better seal and reduce seal weeping. Be careful when you are working on these forks , one bad move w/a screwdriver , hammer or anything can leave you with a pile of scrap.
  14. IDK what the humidity is there. Around here it is almost 100% from June-October. When it gets hot here you sweat through your clothes just standing around.
  15. This a part of the cush-drive . correct ? and this is what broke ?
  16. With this procedure you should be able to locate the "slip".
  17. You will find it or find something missing
  18. No , what the Griso did to me was immediate , it was perfect from first sight .
  19. Seeing this reminds me of some of the scenery in Easy Rider .
  20. The first video is sad to watch for the simple reason it is true . Every second of it is true. I am going to have to watch the second video a few more times to understand what is going on here.
  21. It may be worth considering . The fact thumper said it started this problem immediately , is to be considered too . There has to be deliberate diagnosis and making sure you have checked and rechecked everything .
  22. My Godfather took a trip to Alaska is a camera bug that loves to waste film on a trip . Not this time , every turn , crest , horizon , EVERY picture was the most beautiful scene I had ever seen until I looked at the next pic. I can't remember the farthest point north but he took a picture there proving his quest and conquest was finished . He then returned taking pics just as beautiful of his return to Barlow . If at all possible , I would like to follow this voyage and see these sights.
  23. Well , the bars are still there , it's the people that are missing .
  24. Stop talikn' like that . I have never had food like that . the only exciting foods i have had were farm cooking and soul food cooking . These are both wonderful menus but I am sure there is more. although candied sweet potatoes from a farmer's table or ribs from a backyard full of brother's is making me hungry right now .
  25. It looks like you do superior machine work !
