Geyserville Bob, Been there, done that. Look here... http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show.cgi?25/25 The sleeve has been working fine so far. | ||
| Jim_sb |
Okay, so my efforts to post a link failed miserably. Bob, go to Knowledge Vault, Wheels & Tires, click on the January archives. It's all there with a picture. | ||

Hey Ferris, We've only ridden together once but it was a great day I enjoyed. Not knowing your situation, my prayers are for your courage, strength and comfort. Timbo | ||

I thought this was kinda funny. "There was a leak about a CIA operative!" Bush said angrily, "Nothing enrages me more than leaks!" Bush turned to the man next to him who wore a black suit, tie, and sunglasses. "You're my intelligence guy, right, Clancy?" "I can neither confirm nor deny that." "You're kind of annoying," Bush grumbled, "Do you have any idea where the leak came from?" "The what? I'm not sure what your talk about?" Clancy said. "It's all over the news!" Bush shouted. "I don't read the news." "What do you know then?" "Classified stuff." "Like what?" Clancy chuckled. "I can't tell you." "Dammit!" Bush yelled, "What about you, Rumsfeld? You know who the leaker is?" "If I did, wouldn't there be someone lying strangled on the ground?" Rumsfeld answered gruffly. "True," Bush admitted. Bush then looked under the conference table. "What about you, Chinese guy with surveillance equipment hiding under the table? You seem to keep tabs on everything. You know who did the leaking?" "No speak English," the Chinese man answered, shrugging his shoulders. "Fair enough," Bush answered, "but I will not rest until I find out who is behind this leak! Nothing will keep me from my goal! I swear on the name of my dear departed father that... hey, what's this?" Bush picked up a newspaper. "Gen. Wesley Clark is planning on going faster than the speed of light! If he beats us to that, we'll lose the woman vote!" Karl Rove emerged from the shadows. "I think you have become distracted by something shiny and are not making sense, President Bush." "I'm more than not making sense, Rover!" Bush declared. He turned to Condoleezza Rice. "How close are we to going faster than the speed of light." "According to our knowledgeable scientist," Rice answered, "That's impossible." "Then fire them and get me some unknowledgeable scientists!" Bush demanded, "We'll show that Weasely Clark who can go warp speed!" * * * * Bush looked at the orb like device attached to a slingshot. "So what's the chance of this going faster than light?" Bush asked. "According to our statistician," Condi answered, "That chance of this working can not be expressed as an actual number and instead only as an infinitesimal." "I feel fate is with us, though," Bush said confidently, "So, are you ready, Scott." "To report on this event?" asked Scott McClellan. "No, you're going to ride it and confirm it goes faster than light speed. We'll shine a flashlight at the same time and you see if you can beat it." "Why me?" "Why me?" Bush answered back mockingly as she shoved Scott into the transporter, "Be a team player for once, Skippy." "Why is it aimed at a wall?" Scott asked, a bit scared. "Because the wall was built recently," Bush explained with annoyance, "If you go faster than light, you'll go back in time, and thus you'll fly forward before the wall was built. If you don't go faster than light, you'll just hit the wall. This makes the outcome obvious." "I dunno..." Scott started to say, but was cut off as Bush shut the door on the transporter. "Fire this baby!" Bush yelled. The slingshot was released, and the transporter slammed right into the wall. "That didn't look like it went faster than light at all," Bush commented. "No, I guess not," Condi answered. "I'm very hurt," came a weak voice from the transporter. "Want to try again?" Condi asked. "I'm bored of this now," Bush declared, "What were we doing before?" "Finding the leaker." "Oh yeah," Bush said walking off, "I bet it was the pizza boy. I can't tell Stevie anything classified without the whole pizza joint finding out." "...help me..." | ||

Timbo, thanks for the kind words. i, too, enjoyed that day :-) no prayers are needed for my "situation", (altho they are always appreciated :-), it's just that there are some personal changes going on in my life right now, and i figured there may be some who felt they wanted/needed to know a little more. not sure you've seen the posts about OktoberFAST next weekend or not, but regardless i'm looking forward to riding with you again. thanks again, FB | ||

In my best Calvin voice. Girls Germs YUK! Get well Char. | ||
| Timbo |
Ferris, Yes I have seen the posts about OktoberFAST and am bummed to say I will not be able to join what I'm sure will be a weekend full of great rides, comararaderie and FUN. I have a prior commitment this weekend with family, it's a good thing though. Timbo | ||
| Ferris |

Hi Ferris, How's the Thong? Still ready to rock? I would so desperately like to make OctoberFAST but it's not in the cards for me right now. Have a great weekend. | ||
| Ferris |
hi Jim :-) the Thong is still rockin', crude 'n rude compared the VFR for sure, but it still makes me giggle every time i ride it. sorry you can't do OFAST, but you know that you're welcome up here anytime :-) ride to lean, FB | ||
| Shotgun |

Court, here's an oldie but a goodie... A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The women below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 20 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude." "You must be an engineer," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the woman. "How did you know?" "Well", answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you haven't been much help so far." The woman below responded, "You must be in management" "I am", replied balloonist. "But how did you know?" "Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are mainly due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is, you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault." | ||

It's a BIG DAY: Ferris turns a year older and Vitale Ginsburg finally gets his due recognition. I imagine that during the years he was trying to prove that a molecule could be in two differnet places at once and that two peices of matter (has weight and takes up space) could be in the same place at the same time, that he felt much like some Badwebbers in a "contact patch" debate. Congratulations to Vitale, finally, at 87! | ||
| Whatever |
What the heck. Butt floss needs to be illegal for some !!!!! I lost five days to that crappy flu. Ah well, I still have a lot to be really grateful for. Thanks for the well wishes guys and gals. Char | ||
| Ebear |
Denise...... Me , You , Ferris , and about 12 other friends wouldn't make that size contact patch!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY FERRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy are you in for one on OKTOBERFAST!!! | ||
| Ferris |

Question for Aaron and the Sportster.Org guys.I am putting on the 30t front that I had at WOS and it has a narrower spline portion so it needs a different spacer or washer as the nut will not tighten now.(Did you sportster guys forget to put it back in the box?) | ||
| Aaron |
There was a change mid-year 1994 to try to keep those pulley nuts on better. They made the splines on the pulley deeper and went to a thinner spacer. The seal changed at the same time. The '91-mid '94 spacer (thick) is part number 33334-85, it uses seal 12050. The '94 and later spacer (thin) is part number 33344-94, it uses seal 12067A. | ||

Look everybody! A COMPLETELY stock X1! Lets play. I see a few non stock options... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2436172938&categor y=49985 | ||

hmm, axle covers, bar-ends, rear pully cover, front pulley cover (and plastic cover removal), lic. plate mod, carbon fiber underseat tray, frame hole plug, timing cover, i don't recognize the piece holding the clutch lever to the "V" of the frame, chrome oil filter, clutch/derby cover, nice chicken strips but it looks like its missing much more than 595mi of tread depth? |
