    Family, Friends, and Food. Sometimes the lines between them are Blurry

    Bent Valves or No?

    As far as the Haynes manual compared to the Yamaha, the Haynes did show pics and say to align the "Lines" and "Arrows" for the appropriate cams. When we read it, we just didn't SEE the difference. I read that page I don't know how many times, just didn't pay attention. That and not aligning...

    Bent Valves or No?

    I guess it's time for me to enter here and give a big ole THANK YOU to everyone that shared their knowledge and experience with the 2 knuckle heads taking part in this project. Especially to my good buddy, Pants, mostly for not giving up when we were both in that deep pit of despair after that...

    Here's a campground option. https://www.armadillofarmcampground.com/index.html Not that I'm recommending it, I just find it hilarious. It's closed anyway.

    Another 2015 Arkansas run. May 21-24

    Another 2015 Arkansas run. May 21-24

    That makes two of us. I'm trying to squeeze in a little twistie ridin' before the family vacation in june. Hopefully. Let's just see how it plays out over here, my sweetie is having knee surgery tomorrow! So, I'm here for a while. Maybe in a couple of weeks......

    Another 2015 Arkansas run. May 21-24

    I'm itching for a ride up there soon also, but I can't commit 100% right now. Motel for a night would be cool, I prefer camping however. Memorial day weekend will be as busy as it gets up there, which isn't that bad I guess. Campgrounds and motels will be busy.

    Arkansas Run March 27th-30th

    Weather forecasts for the end of the week are changing by the minute. I wouldn't get too worried just yet. I even saw snow forecast for Ponca Friday, 5 minutes ago. Now 20% chance of rain!

    Bosch 3323 oil filter

    And why would Bosch care about us using a filter not designed for our application?
