Well happy birthday! Aging like fine wine! 😉

Wow! I guess those engines really were temperamental! 😱

Now she’s out of commission for like two months. 😕 I can’t believe how hard those rallies are. Super rough trails at high speeds while trying to watch that rolling map. You gotta go fast….but not too fast. It’s funny but at the beginning of the episode when she was flying along those roads that...

Some days you eat the bear…….some days the bear eats you! Today was not Noraly’s day. 🙁

I saw that brake disc and thought……”Hey….wait a minute. :umm: I forgot this had been resto modded. 😄

The Boeing Model 377 “Stratocruiser” This was one I wasn’t familiar with, I just happened to see one in a grainy old old black and white YouTube video about the beginnings of LAX International airport, I thought it looked more like a WW2 bomber than a passenger plane…..turns out it kinda was...

Dang Marty! That’s horrible, I hope it heals quickly for you. Fingers are so hard to keep isolated, that metal splint is gonna be your way to go for a while. The last year I was working, I managed to get my index finger into a hedge clipper 😬. It hurt like hell and that little metal splint...

Beautiful work! It’s gonna be a real looker! :geek:

I was going back through this thread and this post reminded me of something, Back in the mid 70’s, when I was a teen, there used to be a city ran dirt bike park, it had a moto cross track, a scrambles track, and some mountain trails. I was there riding my stripped down Honda XL250 dirt bike. I...

Ha! That was a great story! Re: the original story about the F-35. The military is being rather coy about the circumstances. I seem to remember reading the the plane had been set on auto pilot before the pilot ejected.

Nice work Jim! I’m beginning to think you’re enjoying all that fiberglass work! 😉

That bike seems like a really nice blend of power and lightness. 👍🏻

The original ‘72 crank has lead slugs pressed into the counter weights. On rare occasions they have been known to come loose , come out and can lock up the motor. Since the crank is out it would be worth a look. Love the bike so far! 😉

You mean it doesn’t have the usual 50 problems to sort out first? 😆

That is just too cool DE! Functional art! 👍🏻

Wow! That’s pretty specialized! Are you just wanting something to take the edge off of the vibration? If so, look at a product called grip puppies, a foam sleeve that goes over your stock grips. There are also knock offs of that product. I ran them on my Suzuki V-Strom, which had tingly grips...

I have installed grips without anything and been just fine. However some grips just don’t stick well, then I used hair spray, it helps ease them on and then when it dries it acts like an adhesive. But they are still easy to remove later if you want to.

Very nice Gary! Does that mean the BMW GS has had its run? 😁

Sure looks like you’ve done a good job getting the carbs clean. I didn’t add anything earlier because I honestly didn’t have any great ideas. I know how frustrating it can be chasing down a problem. I’ll just add to what Jim said, about the spark plugs, one time I had a cylinder not hitting and...

Jim’s birthday? 😃
