Will do, Jim. Ima work around Ian's schedule as I need his wisdom and he's house-fixing/house-hunting these days. Not to mention everyone is wanting to get out and ride. Tentatively planning to get started shortly after October 1.

He may be under my tutelage/supervision. You want a lesson too Jimbo?

Yes and I can be quite flexible in terms of timing. I'm not due for some time, but want to decide if I can do it or need to farm it out. |

As I told Skunky, it's not hard - but does require some time if shims are needed and not on hand. A good bit of stuff has to come off to get at the valves - so it's not a job you want to do in the drive way. And if you've got to order shims - then there's the down time of waiting. I did my valves over the winter - and at least a couple folks have seen my bike running since then  So it's possible for mechanically inclined mortals to do |

Let me know when you decide to do this...the skunk can be the guinea pig.  You'd better not be talkin' 'bout the fine S2R1000 I sold you (was it only last year? year before?)! I dub thee "The Skunk Maker"! |

I would never defile my fine steed by calling it a skunk!!! From Autohag's signature: "2007 S2R1K Skunk 2009 696 Dark (RIP)" PS It was just last year if you can imagine! |

Don't argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Rode to Seneca Rocks and back with Ben, Brian, Brett, Chris and Travis. Had a cute little bear cross the road in front of us.  Funny Brian started the day off by saying he was gonna ride with the bears. |

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

I just installed a headlight relay and I'm more than happy with the output. Hope to get the bike running soon. |
