Author Message   Twig Posted on Friday, July 07, 2006 - 07:49 pm:        Hey Nance...pretty nifty tool. Did you happen to see any individual T27 bits for 3/8 drive for sale at Sears? Lost mine awhile back working on the S10 distributor cap. Never did find it, neither did the mechanic I later brought it to.   Jlnance Posted on Friday, July 07, 2006 - 08:39 pm:        Twig - No, I have been to Sears, Northern, Burke Bros, and Advance Auto looking for individual T27 bits for socket wrenches, and have been unable to find any. They all have a kit which includes a T27. I did purchase the kit and promptly broke the bit.   Xb9ser Posted on Friday, July 07, 2006 - 09:39 pm:        twig I bought aT27 at work 1/4 drive about 5 bucks. I'll check wed. when I'am at work and our tool guy is back. I dont remember the brand but it is indusrial quality.   Twig Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 07:52 am:        Hi Glenn....you are right, I do need 1/4 " drive. I bought the set years ago when I had a CJ-5 Jeep. Figures I'd lose the one I really need now. Please pick one up for me if it's easy enough and let me know. My first major tune-up on the S-10 pretty much stank. Seems some previous owner had over torqued the distributor cap, and the distributor housing was also made out of plastic. The main problem ended up being failed intake gaskets+new distributor equalled $250 or so. Gonna pick up that tool today, J.Nance, if they have one. Perfect for the chin spoiler removal...if I ever get the chance. U4euh, still waiting for the call from Hickory. Later...   Ulywife Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 10:09 am:        We off to the beach for the week. Talk to you when we get back!   U4euh Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 11:23 am:        Ya'll come back now, Hear!?? Thanks for the drywall help. I talked to a contractor about the project. He said the exact same thing you did Jim! Except that for my final coat, which should be a third or maybe even a fourth, use a 12 inch wide blade and feather the mud out in all directions.   1313 Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 11:33 am:        Some cool stuff I found while reorganizing some stuff in the old homestead. This dyno chart is definitely not from a Blast! The LANGSTK run is S2 #13 in stock configuration. The other 2 runs are S2 #1313; with DYNORUN.002 being with Lightning heads and cams and a SuperTrapp muffler, and DYNORUN.005 being when I T'Stormed and race-kitted the motor at 36,000 miles (just a scant 71,500 miles ago). The only thing different from the configuration for DYNORUN.005 and the way my bike was configured for the street was the ignition module. The race ignition module did nothing expect extend the redline (which I saw as cutting engine life), but may have translated into a couple more MPH at the top end. The S1 ignition module used on the street is the same one as used in DYNORUN.002. Cool stuff to stumble on, 1313   Sportymark Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 03:48 pm:        Is that original CAD of the Blast? that rocks... and that Blast Emblem, is that the non-used original?   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 11:46 pm:        I think that Emblem was used on the first Model year.   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 11:52 pm:        I like that drawing Brankin. It's the right color too. :-)   Jlnance Posted on Saturday, July 08, 2006 - 11:54 pm:        U4 - I may take my kids to Morrow Mtn sometime during the week of the 17th. I'm sure TJ would love to see Sabrina. Interested in bringing her out?   Webesblastgirl Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 01:49 am:        Cool pics 1313... great color too Sticker looks a lot like the one on mine (2000). Of course mine is white but might not be exactly the same...know it has the ! mark on it.   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 05:56 pm:        I rode out to Michael's this morning, thinking I might run into Gramps. I got there about 10:30 and looked around for a while. A lot of nice bikes, including a Suzuiki thumper that reminds me of the Blast in some respects. There were no Buells there besides my Blast. About the time I was about to leave, a Firebolt and Honda ride into the lot, so I go over to talk to them. Turns out I had actually met the Honda owner at Ray Price when he had come in to testride a Uly. His friend on the Firebolt is from Fayetteville, and I assume he is too. The firebolt had been to Deals Gap last week, with his wife on the back. They had had a good time taking all the chicken strips off the tires. He and his wife are both in the air force. She is getting stationed in Hawaii for 2 years, and he isn't. That would really suck. Kind of rough on a marriage and all that. I guess Webe and southern_marine have both been in similar situations recently. I don't often stop to think about how difficult that must be.   Sportymark Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 07:53 pm:        Damn we thougth about riding to Michaels but decided just to ride around Jordan and Harris till lunchtime...   Zxzer04 Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 08:43 pm:        Took a ride through Wake Forrest and up to Henderson and saw lots of Bikes...And one Black and Amber Lighting, Just North of Raleigh on US1...Not sure who that could be as I don't think he is a Badwebber.   Wes12185 Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 09:45 pm:        there is a black and purple buell of some sort that was parked next to me on campus a couple day ago. I can't recognize models by sight yet, but they looked like stock colors. I think it was a tube frame too. It was increadibly well maintained, untill I noticed the tube framing I thought it was brand new.   Jlnance Posted on Sunday, July 09, 2006 - 10:50 pm:        Wes - Welcome back, I was wondering if you had disappeared. I can't recognize the tube frame bikes either. This is complicated by the fact the people really like to mod them, so they often end up with parts from various models. Fortunately the model is usually written on the bike somewhere.   Webesblastgirl Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 12:44 am:        Webe went to Henderson tonight. But he's on the Dyna and wouldn't have been up there yet. His dad and he have the same birthday (July 10) so he went to see him. He could probably tell you some good roads to travel up that way. LOL I used to live up there too but since I wasn't a rider then I didn't pay as much attention to 'good roads'. Told (asked lol)Webe he'd better get my Blast fixed soon, or I might try riding his again. Those of you who know me ... know that's not a good idea...LOL He's got about 2 weeks before I finish these classes...after that I will really really be wanting to ride.   Webesblastgirl Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 12:47 am:        Oh yeah, checked the sticker that hadn't been scraped off in the 'incident' and its the same.. .just white instead of black. Personally I like that one better than some of the newer ones. ride safe everyone   Jlnance Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 07:13 am:        Damn we thougth about riding to Michaels Double damn. I thought about calling you but didn't figure 9:00 am on a Sunday morning was the best time.   U4euh Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 11:28 am:        Jinance-MTN idea sounds good. Was the guy in the AirForce on a red 12r? If so I met him 3 years ago on the 1st toy run in July same as we went on last year. Speaking of, are you gonna ride again this year?   U4euh Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 11:36 am:        www.fullthrottlemagazine.com look to the left and click on 'event calendar' then scroll down to July 22 4th annual Christmas in July. This might be my last year for doing it, depends on a lot of things though.   Wes12185 Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 12:07 pm:        I'm always around, I just only post if I have something to say. Any raleigh people want to go riding later this week?   U4euh Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 02:21 pm:        Hey Twig, you here? Are you working this weekend? If not get up with me, let's go to Hickory and get that pipe! Wes, what days are you riding? I am about an hour away, maybe a little more,.. Jinance?   Wes12185 Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 04:07 pm:        I think any day except wednesday should be fine for me. Wednesday would be fine too as long as we don't pull in at like 9 or something, me and the gf are supposed to see pirates 2 sometimes wednesday night... Jinance?   Jlnance Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 05:08 pm:        Wes & Jim, it's hard for me to say when I'm gonna be free at the moment. I've got my kids here for the next 2 weeks. Rebecca offers to watch them sometimes, and thats when I'm free. Jim - Yes it was a red 12R. It really is a small world. I'll have to check the dates for the toy run. I had a good time last year, I'd enjoy doing it again. Wes - Riding with U4euh is fun, but to get to all the roads he knows, you'll need to head down his way. I usually meet him at the Hardees in Carthage, NC. Thats about a 50 minute ride. So do it when you have 3 or 4 hours to spare or you'll be rushed.   Jlnance Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 05:15 pm:        Yea!!! The Girl just got home and offered to let me go for a ride. Wes, or anyone else who wants to go. Show up at my house at 6:45 tonight.   Twig Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 06:51 pm:        U4..We are always informed on Thursdays about weekend work, so I'll let you know something. 11 weeks and counting on the S/S. My patience is wearing a bit thin. Maybe I'll get a call this week. Did'nt get a chance to ride over the weekend, I'm sure I'll want to go somewhere next weekend if I get a chance. Later...   Flynuly Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 07:04 pm:        Hello C3 riders, I'm finally home. Been back little over a week. Came home to a dead battery on the Uly, battery tender went belly up sometime in the last two months and ate the bike battery...I think. Had it replace at Shelton's Saturday and ordered a license plate light assembly. Checked it after reading the posts here and sure enough it was cracked and just barely holding on. Black electrician's tape is keeping it in place for the time being. Scheduled 1000 mile service for this weekend, have 500 miles since returning home. Honey do list is almost complete. Count me in for Poker run on 22nd....if you don't mind a new guy tagging along? Tim   Wes12185 Posted on Monday, July 10, 2006 - 08:17 pm:        lol, you gotta give more notice then that, I was busy rescuing my kitten from the vet when you posted and just now had time to finally check back in.
