Author Message   Ratyson Posted on Thursday, June 28, 2007 - 09:45 pm:        Whoda thunk that you could use that stuff to catch dogs with?! Nice catch!   Black_sunshine Posted on Friday, June 29, 2007 - 11:10 am:        Sanchez....got a new pup? New12r.....I need your address. Hope everyone is doing good. Later Good Luck Shred!   Dtmcnamara Posted on Friday, June 29, 2007 - 05:39 pm:        HEY GUYS I NEED SOME HELP Please look below and tell me whats wrong... I started to drill the front bolt out but am having NO luck what so ever. I found these while at a auto parts store getting new bolts for the exhaust. I went out to check a nut size and noticed that 2 header bolts were just not there. PLEASE IF ANYONE IS FREE TONIGHT OR TOMORROW AND HAS SOME TOOLS AND SOME TIME HELP ME OUT. I have an easy-out but I cannot seem to get a drill in there to do anything. Oh by the way I live in the snellville/lawrenceville area.   Black_sunshine Posted on Friday, June 29, 2007 - 06:37 pm:        Hey DT...that happened to Silverbullet's X1 when he had it no too long ago. Not sure how he fixed it. I think he drilled out and helicoiled it but I can't be for sure. You gonna go through some bits 'cause those bolt have seen so serious hot and cold cycles. Take your time and have plenty of patients. I'm assuming that is the front head. Another note: I've been lurking the classifieds of several supermoto sites. My choice would be a CRF450 already tarded out. The more I look the more the Suzuki DRZSM450 (black) tickles my fancy. I don't know much about them. Anyone have any comments to stear me in the right direction. I'm working on a fixed budget and can't exceed 5K. I found this one for 4K. Its pretty much stock: '06 DRZsm450   Smokescreen Posted on Friday, June 29, 2007 - 06:46 pm:        B_S, The Suzuki is an awesome little ride. From what I hear you would need to spend around $2000 to make it a real worthy motard. They are all gonna be down on power in stock form. A little work and it'd be great! Try looking for one already done with the good mods, ya know, pipe, jets, air box, maybe clutch. I'm sure if you look you'll find one already creampuffed out! Good luck on your search and look forward to seeing you on two again! Smokescreen PS: David, sorry I know nothing about engine stuff, particularly the tubers. Someone should be able to help you out!   Sanchez Posted on Friday, June 29, 2007 - 06:54 pm:        > Sanchez....got a new pup? Yeah, it's my roommate's dog. > 2 header bolts were just not there. Doh. Post up on the Old School Buell forum, and you'll find some help. It's a fairly common problem.   New12r Posted on Friday, June 29, 2007 - 06:58 pm:        SS, that is the same motor from my four wheeler in a 200lb lighter chassis, Down on power?? BS, if you get one can I wheelie it??   New12r Posted on Friday, June 29, 2007 - 06:59 pm:        DC, PM me your number I may have some free time in the evening to bring you a couple things to help the job go a little smoother.   Smokescreen Posted on Friday, June 29, 2007 - 07:05 pm:        New12, Look up the specs. It ain't no speed demon like the atv sibling. All the bike rags have the same thing to say: upgrade the pipe, jets, air filter and clutch. As you know I don't own one so I can only go by what I have read. B_S is a small guy, maybe he won't need any of that to make it more interesting! For 5K you could almost get one of those new BMW X models! 650cc single goodness! Smokescreen   Black_sunshine Posted on Friday, June 29, 2007 - 07:49 pm:        SS....Thanks for the info.....I'll do more research. New12R....No doubt. Like you said Not having two wheels is like a crack addict with no pipe. A good note is that the wife gave me the green light to look for a new bike. She like the motard idea and is on board. She just wants to see me happy....Damn she rocks!   New12r Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2007 - 07:26 am:        SS, I did not do any homework but I do know the heads are a little different. BS, I got a great head for the Suzuki for sale!   Sanchez Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2007 - 03:54 pm:        Hallelujah! Dirty Sanchez rides again! Take that, ankle!   New12r Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2007 - 04:20 pm:        Sanchez, is that you??? Ok, so I took a little break from tearing the kitchen apart to head back to ACE for a few extras and decided that Pro Line would help with the pain........ Super Duke sitting in the showroom, bike looks like a space fighter, very comfy ergos and the salesman said it had plenty of torque, they said that they did not get a demo so I couldn't ride it but it sure felt good sitting on it! The only problem I see is the $13,500 + tax price tag.   Kdan Posted on Saturday, June 30, 2007 - 05:49 pm:        BS, I opted out on the DRZ due to the power, or lack thereof. A 450 just won't haul my fat ass down the Atlanta highways at a comfortable clip. I like the KLR a lot! Sure it's a tad heavy, but I've done the carb and with some new Avon Gripsters, it does pretty good. Great bike in town! Now I need a pipe. Not a crack pipe...The other kind. Sanchez, Good on ya! Hi everybody!   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, July 01, 2007 - 12:18 am:        I'm heading out to the mountains tomorrow morning with my uncle (Rune) and his friend (Street Glide) for a nice, leisurely comeback ride if anyone's interested. We'll probably be at Dale's around 10. We're hitting the Dragon on Wednesday.   Tkxb9sx Posted on Sunday, July 01, 2007 - 09:45 am:        you sir move quick. but i guess you gotta. i like to see those legs. anyways. i was going up 515 to get a fuel pressure regulator for my friends s2000 from a guy that lives off of hwy 60 and the roads are insane. i love it. we were in an evo and it was great and all but i cant wait til i get my bike out there   Mountainrider Posted on Sunday, July 01, 2007 - 01:59 pm:        JCs latest adventure. He will take that ULY anywhere. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?p=48 70485&posted=1#post4870485 Glad to see Sanchez is back on the ground.   Smokescreen Posted on Sunday, July 01, 2007 - 06:31 pm:        *ATTENTION 3%ER'S!* Me and M_B are in need of your help. We need a video camera capable of recording 8 consecutive hours. We believe someone might have been in our house today while we were gone. Any kind of camera will work as long as it is able to record an entire work day. Thank you for you time. Smokescreen   Dtmcnamara Posted on Sunday, July 01, 2007 - 06:32 pm:        Anyone have a exhaust stud drill plate I could borrow, our would like to come over and help me out? I am about to just take the motor out, but would rather not. David 404-725-4979 http://img.jpcycles.com/main/ccd62e9f-20f8-48ac-bf 72-d60ee8caf9d8.jpeg   Bambi Posted on Sunday, July 01, 2007 - 07:09 pm:        Hey, Sanchez, Holy Moly - Dude, Where is the rest of you? Most folks GAIN weight when they are sitting around with no activity.   Shred Posted on Sunday, July 01, 2007 - 10:54 pm:        B_S, Nice bike..black is very stealthy. Sanchez, Glad your up on your feet..or foot and healing quickly. Show that ankle who's boss. LOL... Sorry Smokescreen, don't have a video recorder. You'd think that someone wouldn't be crazy enough to mess with a former Marine's house. Thats a death sentence.... Crazy weekend at the races. I'll post up more later but here's some results. I have some pics and a short video from the LWT-SS races. Not sure how good it came out, haven't seen it yet. Saturday races Formula 2 = Finished 20th LWT-SS = Finished 2nd Got me a new podium hat, this time a Bridgestone hat. I droped Michelin this weekend and tried out some B'stones for a much cheaper price. Michelin still hasn't payed me from the last couple of races I've won. Sunday's races LWT-SS = Finished 8th About 5 people past me on the start. It gets worse.... Formula 2, I stall'd out and couldn't get the bike to crank, I flooded it.... so by the time I got it cranked it was to late to get back in the race. I've never been good off the line, I need to work on it. I was not a happy camper...   New12r Posted on Monday, July 02, 2007 - 08:43 am:        Shred, Good job on the finishes! Now you think you would be better at the Launch after that day you and I drag raced about 2 dozen times! SS, Just let axle loose, he might destroy your house but I bet nobody would come in.   Sanchez Posted on Monday, July 02, 2007 - 09:07 am:        > Where is the rest of you? It floated off into the air to seek out Rosie O'Donnell. I lost a lot of weight in the first month after my injury due to all the drugs I was taking, and I've kept it off so far. I lost about 20 lbs. I haven't seen this weight since college when I passed it on the way up. Yesterday was pretty awesome. I headed out about 9:00 AM with my uncle on his Rune and his friend on his Ultra Classic. We went up Blood Mountain then cut over east to Helen for lunch. After lunch, we headed back west, rode 129 north again, then took Wolf Pen Gap back to TWO. I am happy to report that I went the entire day without falling off a single mountain. The sole of my foot is tender from disuse, so the peg vibrations made it pretty sore, but the ankle itself is fine. After two months out of the saddle, I wasn't in riding shape anyway though. By the time we got home at 6:00 PM, both my feet were equally sore, and my butt was ready to secede from my body. I won't be out on a track any time soon. My ankle is too stiff to shift quickly, and I can't get up on my toe to shift my body position very easily.   Sanchez Posted on Monday, July 02, 2007 - 09:10 am:        My uncle and his friend are heading up to the base of the Dragon tomorrow and spending the night. I plan to meet them Wednesday morning (probably trailer up), ride the Skyway loop, and come back down the Tail. Do any of you have suggestions for a nice, long, scenic route they can take up and a place to stay once they get there?   Missbehavin Posted on Monday, July 02, 2007 - 09:42 am:        Well, if we let Acksel loose we would have nothing to come home to! I changed the door locks yesterday (that was fun) and now you can't get in...even if you do know the "trick" that Charlie had to use a couple of times. The violated feeling does not sit well with me, creeps me out that someone was in there.   Glitch Posted on Monday, July 02, 2007 - 11:17 am:        Lookin' fit Sanchez! Shred, all in all, probably one of the best first seasons anyone could hope for, and it ain't over yet! SS&MB WTF?! time for the combat engineer to come up with some booby traps. I said booby   Ratyson Posted on Monday, July 02, 2007 - 11:26 am:        SS&MB.. I second Glitch's statement... and I want to say booby too.. so there.. I said booby too.... twice! That's like.... bewbies! WOO HOO! I learned something new about the buell this weekend. Removing the front wheel is a MAJOR pain in the ass... putting it back on is even WORSE! Is there some trick to getting the rotor to line back up in the caliper?? I spent about 30 minutes trying to get that dagum thing to line up. And my Buell looks funny hanging from the ceiling with no wheels on it. Have any of you ever used one of those motorcycle tire changers that you can buy from harbor freight? Are they worth it? I just paid $35 per wheel... off the bike, for mounting. Maybe it is just me... but that seems like a heluva lot of money for the labor. I could be way off since I have never had to put a tire on a rim... but it just seems redonkulous.   Smokescreen Posted on Monday, July 02, 2007 - 11:54 am:        I have tons of ideas. Just don't want to burn the house down trying to make it secure. Flashbangs and shotgun blanks are great deterants, but they make a hell of alot of heat and smoke, not to mention my house was built in 1940. Gotta get creative with this one.... maybe landmines in the yard, or punji sticks behind the door. Damn I miss Govt. destruction!!! Smokescreen   Black_sunshine Posted on Monday, July 02, 2007 - 01:06 pm:        SS...just rent Home Alone and get some ideas from that. Sanchez....ya know an 8lbs loss is equivalent to 1HP.   Dtmcnamara Posted on Monday, July 02, 2007 - 06:05 pm:        I GOT ONE OF THE BASTARDS OUT....ONLY 1 MORE LEFT. YEEEEEEHAAAAAW
