what STUPID thing did you do with your yamaha today?

Love Viragos had an 82 with 5k milage bought for 400$ sold for 1500$ ....I can tell you a bunch about the starter(weak point) K-moe just ask

 

Thanks for the offer. I've recomissioned a Virago before, but there are always more things to learn. If I play the long-game with it there will be a conversion to the later starting system. I still have to figure out if I have a budget or not, and what the end goal is.

 

Yep (well 46% 0f me anyway).

 

The better half is about the same make up. Father-in law has oofta mug, oofta tshirt, ect. I've been schooled on the basic points of leffse making, and informed that I will never make (or spell) it correctly, so now I just devour it instead.

 

I always thought it was spelled uff da . . .

 

Might be. I don't think that there is a standardized spelling for it.

 

Im finn/norske/irish (western south dakota... That describes 75% of the people here) it doesnt matter how you spell it, as most of the norskies cant read anyway.

 

I DIDN'T take any of them out to ride today........boy, was that STOOOPID.

 

Me either. Why do grading periods have to end on nice weekends?!

 

Our 5-wk notices were due this past week, and mid-semester grades were due last week.........too busy catching up on everything else right now, just couldn't get the time TO get out for a ride. Grrr

 

I didn't ride...my truck blew a metal brake line.Worked all day Saturday sill not done Going to bleed it today...and it is monsoon out so long truck barley fits in garage.

 

was going to carefully top off the gas before a ride but not use a funnel. got the spout just right and tilted the can up and just got a glimpse of a acorn falling out of the spout into the tank.
damm critters.
how does one get a acorn out of a gas tank? i might just leave it there

 

Once the tank is empty, unhook the fuel line, and fill the tank with water. the acorn should (if it's young enough) float up to where you can grab it with forceps or a hemostat.

 

If the acorn is floating in the gas, fill it up so it bobs near the hole.

If it sinks, wait til you're empty..... Pull the tank and tip it on its side so the acorn rolls to were you can see it a grab it with pincers, a long spoon, etc......or turn the tank upside down so it rolls next to the filler collar. You should be able te reach a couple of your finger tips in and over the grab it.

 

Get the rodent that stashed the nut. Tie a string around its ankle, make your intentions clear, toss/stuff the bugger into your tank and tell him not to come out without the acorn!

 

Bought another bike today that makes 4 in less than 2weeks
85 Maxim 700 parts bike .. anybody need anything?
I better get rid of some before my wife gets home next Saturday!!

 

Naaaah---- just tell her "hey, daves wife doesn't bother him........ He's got almost 40------" she'll be fine

 

My standard reply is that I'm turning an old motorcycle into money. Timelines and methods are never mentioned.

 

Post a pic if it in the other bikes forum.

I was at that point but didn't have a barn to store them in I was stashing them at friends homes and was up around 25 bikes.
Single car garage and 120 sq ft workshop was not enough space.
If I lived in a rural area I would have a big shop and room for 50. And my wife would never see me!
