Hmmm, I still wander down to the harbor nightly and walk out to the end of the jetty/breakwater under the lighthouse looking for the bottle of screech to come floating past in time for the 20th event. I think I'll fill my bike tires with antifreeze this winter to keep the air in them from freezing in case I want to take one out for a NewYearsEve ride around town. Coffee good, Sarcasm better, Humiliation - priceless. At least we can occaisionally ride in the winter down here, he'll be up there roping icebergs for photo shoots to taunt us with. |

Good one Mike, I like it but instead of filling your tires with antifreeze - Screech Works. Not meaning to humiliate ya CJ - I knew you had known better. Don't fret over the winter storage, get someone up that way to help!!!! Come on Boys or Nancy - I am sure someone can come over and help with the oil, take the battery out and generally clean the bike up!!!!! Mike I have never heard of removing the injectors and using absorbant material on them. Make sense though!!!!! I am afraid to check that e-mail after the coolant remark |

Next thing ya know you'll be hanging out in Sear's tool departments and chasing Snap-On trucks down the roads. I will say that a pump jug of Goop or Go-Jo looks just fine next to a bathroom sink. |

The service manual provides some excellent reading for when you in the That a great way to get to know your bike CJ - is to get the service manual. I'd be lost without my 1989 Saab 900s Service Manual and the S1 Manual as well. With a proper set of tools you almost don't need the retailer for service work. |

Newfie...Ah, that would be the men's library! Interesting how the more you read the more you need a motorcycle to pack the parts back up where they came from. LOL |

Ahem...Would you ladies consider presenting a clinic for mechanically declined males? Seems the ones that were discussed in this neck of the woods never materialized. |

Bomber, your for sure invited and anyone else that can help !! I'm not sure I can do this, I just said I was trying, but like Newf said be careful cause it sucks to have to take your bike in to service after you've "f"ed it up !!!! Sometimes hard as it is to believe I get in over my head !! CJ
