    Only if I can take it home with me! (and love it and feed it and pet it and call it George!)

    This is going to go well

    Ohhh yeahhh... I forgot about that one! Back when I had a Honda Hawk 650GT, I bought winter gear and a helmet from Orlando Honda up on Edgewater. About $600 when that meant something, and it really meant it to me, because I was a poor student. So a couple days later, my bike falls over and...

    This is going to go well

    Yup. Been there about 20x times, got the closet full of t-shirts. Now I just say with a smile "OK fine, buck-wheat. I'll go spend my money elsewhere." I would not have given him the money to cut the keys. I've gotten that attitude when I'm looking for a fitting to make a brake filler or other...

    RAM Cup holder on FJR-AE

    I don't have an AE, but I still mount my cup holder on the right side, using the same master cylinder mount he has, on both my FJR & my SV.

    Frankenbike needs new front brake pads...AGAIN!

    Another thing is to remember to clean the spooge off the pistons with brake cleaner before retracting them to fit new pads. I've found out this helps the seals last a LOT longer, plus it keeps the fluid cleaner, of course.

    Frankenbike needs new front brake pads...AGAIN!

    And now you've discovered that the local Florida dealers are useless idiots. Having had EBCs eat up the rotors on other bikes and score the hell out of them with deep gouges, I won't let them anywhere near my FJR. Plus they pretty much evaporate. I never had a set last 10,000 miles on any bike...

    B 17G Flying Fortress coming to Burbank CA.

    At the last Tico warbirds airshow, they had 3 B-24s, 2 P-51s, and something like 10 or 12 T-6s of all different variants, all flying at once. And later a B-2...the "Spirit of Pennsylvania"... whew. We have a B-17, but she was down for corrosion repair. Hearing 3 B-24s take off one after...

    International Talk Like William Shatner Day

    Speaking of ol' Bill... he turns 80 today so I imagine he will soon talk even slower, if possible. Does anybody watch "Shatner's Raw Nerve"?

    Fukn Lame

    Wow. I remember when I got laid off. My boss took me and my compatriot to lunch, and said "when we get back, you guys'll need to clean out your desks..." 122 employees to 6 in an afternoon. Not that people hadn't already realized CDROM drive prices had dropped from $300 to $30, so it was only a...

    Yeah, there's "warm" then there's "warmer" - kinda like a Gen II & a Gen I

    My Luck

    I have. The biggie is you have to use a lot of cement, at least on my rear PR2. I didn't use enough the first time and had to do it again before it didn't leak. You have to partly pull off the tire, but hey, I have a No-Mar changer, so might as well use it. I did have my RZ-350 spit out a plug...

    The SERIOUS poseur...

    Man, I REALLY wish I had a picture of this... So I'm riding around, hitting some malls, doing some errands, when I get passed by this guy on a GSXR. The bike has the full Kevin Schwantz #34 Lucky Strike sticker kit. The guy's wearing "Rothman's Racing" leathers, with Oxtar boots and Held...

    Cleaning Throttle Bodies

    Every time I read an Ionbeam post, both my brain cells jump up and down and go "OH BOY!"

    Re-start in 0.2 seconds

    Is it just me, or wouldn't that constant engine off-on crap annoy the **** out of you? What happens 6 years later when it doesn't "on" so quick anymore? What happens if your battery is a little iffy? Are you stuck at the light with everyone hitting their horn at you? No, thanks.
