The issue with most small engines is ethanol is very hard on the diaphragm in the carburetor and other rubber components in the fuel delivery system that most small engines still use. Since the higher octane fuels mostly have less or no ethanol most manufacturers recommend using the higher...

I'll be meeting up with Ray tomorrow to plan our counter-counter strike. Looking forward to a proper ride report.

I have not ridden after dark ever since my laser eye surgery. It became obvious that my night vision was not what it should be to ride safely. This is also one more reason I don't attempt any long distance riding since all my riding takes place during daylight hours. Living in the Great White...

I think Race Tech uses 310 mm springs and I have measured the spring length of my GP Suspension springs and they are only 260 mm. I have the spring buffers installed in my forks and my preload spacer is 143 mm if that is of any help to you. Being an old fat guy I am in the process of going to...

All the law enforcement in Oregon has a manhunt out for that scofflaw RaYzerman. If you do get questioned by the local sheriff tell them that Ray is holed up in the Great White North.

He's probably drunk by now and picking a fight with a bookcase but I'll wish the Geek a happy birthday anyways. I'll hoist one to ya at the pub tonight.

I hope the locals were polite and didn't laugh at you. Do you need me to teach you how to speak like a Canadian.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsTv3wNFBsQ

In the instrumentation world they are not hammers, they are knockometers. The knuckle dragging millwrights I know refer to them as swinging presses.

You never know when we might return. Be afraid, be very afraid and practise saying "eh".

Actually no, most of the time the senile old goat leaves his keys in the ignition with just the kill switch turned off but the headlights still on and just walks away. I figured sooner or later we were going to need my booster pack. I lost count of the number of times I had to go over and shut...

I have completed my entry for this year's FredW Lame *** Film Festival to be held at Stowe VT during NERDS '16..... https://vimeo.com/174183774 This lame *** video was produced by lame *** Tip Over Cookie Productions, filmed on a lame *** '06 AE FJR using a lame *** GoPro Hero 3. Filmed on...

Gave the girl a good scrubbing and get years of grime off her. Found some other stuff that needs repair. The FJR is one hurting unit right now and needs some TLC. She will be up on the lift table for a while by the look of things.

I was all set to buy a BMW when I was in the market for a sport tourer but the local BMW dealer ruined it for me. I have a great Yamaha dealer close by and as long as they are in business I'll look at the Yamaha products first. Having said that I'm toying with the idea of an adventure bike. I've...

So tell us what you don't miss about Buffalo. I'm thinking the loser Bills, the loser Sabres, the loser.................. and of course those balmy Buffalo winters. I lived in Welland and will always remember the storm of '77 when we Canuckistanis had to come over and dig you out. Also old Erv...

I got home yesterday early afternoon. After leaving Ray I went to my brother's place near Niagara Falls and we went over to Buffalo for a free concert, Zappa plays Zappa. Dweezil is a great guitarist and the band backing him up are all world class musicians. There are very few people that could...

I see you like both kinds of music, Country and Western....

^^^^^^^^^^ I'm going to ignore this too and it was not Keystone where we stopped for coffee it was in Oil City. If Ray had a proper iPhone app instead of relying on Jeff's POS Samsung Ray might have a clue of where he was. That and reading the big sign as we entered the town. We loaded up the...

It does have that Bungie look to it doesn't it. Our navigator Ray kept leaving his turn signal on for miles on end so we kept making turns that we weren't supposed to make. In between that and constantly parking the bike with the key still on Jeff & I were starting to think our dad was going a...

A couple of Jeff's photos from yesterday in the Black Hills. At the bottom end of the Iron Mountain Road we came across this guy standing by the road.... Jeff also got a photo of me coming through one of the tunnels on the same road.... A shot from the back side of the bus inching its way...

It is not a retreat, it is a strategic withdrawal. Jeff posted up a video that Ray thought that I was attempting to breed with my FJR.... https://vimeo.com/173426203 I will have Ray know that I have sired many a baby Yamaha.... The Black Hills The last day on the bikes for this trip. We...
