So me suggesting the book

"Religion and Polyticks: A manifest of Jesus after doing Coke with a Time Traveling Stalin and his sidekick without pants, Dick Cheney"

Would be seen as difficult to discuss due to forum rules?

Funny, the first 50 pages had nothing about motorcycle maintenance. I hear the book isn't really about motorcycle maintenance at all.

Still working on that. I just got 1 more fuel pump to totally rule out the fuel pump as being the issue. Once I move back to the 'rent's house at the end of the month I'll do a POR15 deal on the tank and pop in a new fuel filter too.

Erik,

Are you gonna have the hinge welded before you POR15?

He should...

I..... am not the wolf ;)

That being said..... I loved the book. Having read it at this time in my life made it even more special to me.

Fixing bikes in not what this book is about, although it does offer up many helpfull tidbits of information on how to properly go about repairing one.

The book is about Quality, and one mans attempt to define it.
