Opening that cycle term website was like opening a good porn site. It kept getting better as I scrolled down the page. A big thanks for posting that one!

Krylon will make it whatever color you need Phillip.

I'll keep my eye out for you.

I replace the chains when they get noisy. I've found that to be roughly 20k miles - whether I maintain them well or not.

The phone arrived safe and sound. ) Thank you, Dave!

Wow...thanks! $200 headed your way. I really appreciate it. (I wish I had a use for the triumph...but don't.) Walt

Hey Dave, I had no idea but they're ranging $250 to $350 down here. I didn't check ebay because I want to see the person before I buy it. This $250 CL ad looks legit and is nearby. The ad has some age but $280 and it's nice. I'd go $300 to know from whom it came. If you need more I understand. Markets are different. Thanks! Walt

Dave, I'd like to have the 4S. Just let me know what you want for it. Thanks! Walt

I use a 3m 36 grit 7 inch fibre disc on an angle grinder. 3M rocks! These remove metal fast and last longer than the others. They don't generate the heat that a grinding wheel does. Plus, it puts a beautiful edge on the blade. Customers love it. I've had guys look at blades ready for others to pick up and exclaim "you did this?" as if they were running home to bring theirs back. Makes me feel good. Oh yes...they make short order of a bush hog blade, too. They have some new discs out that are suppose to remove metal even faster and last longer. I'm going to try them Nexxt. My nexxt purchase Philip...let me know if you have a 7" angle grinder. I can send you one.

Was it running up to the point where you turned it on its side? Does your mower have a primer bulb or is it an "auto-choke" model? Did you replace that soft head gasket or try to make do? Does the pull rope snap out of your hand while attempting to start it? Did the ether trick work?

Hmm...A timer seems like a great idea. I don't see where reliability becomes an issue. I bet Pat has some at the office... edit: son of a....this thread is almost a year old?

It looks like you only have a quarter inch of additional metal before you've drilled through to the other side. I like the hose clamp idea. Clamp the broken piece back onto the post, then put a threaded rod in, cement it in place and pray it holds as you gingerly thread the nut from the top. Let me know what model engine it is and I'll see if I have a good block for you.

It shouldn't be too far. But...I just noticed the right side of the tank is caved in. Look closely at the HONDA emblem. That's a bummer.

Cincinnati CL Let me know if you need any help with the parts.

Teaser!!! Same bike a few years ago...Josh and I were returning from Johnson City...

Sorry to see it didn't sell. Just trying to help...when I see pictures showing a bike in a shop, especially with others being worked on in the background, I think "wrecked/repaired" , (which we know this one isn't!) and mark it off the list. Taking pictures in front of a nicely manicured home adds appeal/value to it. Of course, that's me and we all know my issues. lol... Good luck on that beautiful bike.

Lol...I'm getting the lube ready....

Thanks for the post. I'm going to go with Dave's.

...and I didn't even have to call dibs. You can wrap it in the micro fiber. lol... Seriously, though. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks! Walt

Sounds good. Let me know how much you want for it. Zero...good info. I wondered why people were still on old IOS versions. Makes sense now.

I know...why buy the older technology? Because I'm coming from an old motorola flip phone and I'm cheap. I bought Dave's and would like another one for my wife. It needs to be clean and not beat up. It needs to be an AT&T phone. I'll show my ignorance and say I don't want a jailbroken/unlocked/whatever phone. I don't trust them if they've been hacked on. I'm just looking for a good 3gs from someone I know. I trust you guys/gals and don't want to buy one from some hack kid on craigslist. Thanks! Walt

I'm going to swipe that pink case from Walt when he isn't looking. I though you would be more interested in the USED exam glove I put it in to shit...I mean ship. AND....I want my microfiber back !!! Lol...I opened that in front of my wife. She got this confused look on her face like "what the heck?!?!" Thanks for the good packing! I'll get that back to you.

Dave, I ported the number and have it up and running. Another well cared for item. Thanks again! Walt

I don't wear watches but have to admit...that thing is beautiful!

Rent a nice Toyota Corrolla for the trip. Wouldn't it be nice not having to worry about that Escort breaking down? You'd have peace of mind all the way around.
