Lol no still as single as ever. Not a student, I've decided that while I love to learn, school just isn't my place. I'm working at a factory making wind turbine blades now. Vestas V110 blades to be specific.
What are you up to? Still making trouble in the great not-so-white north?

Re: What did you do today...
Mother's day dinner. It's been raining and hailing and snowing for the past week here so no riding. How've you all been?

Re: suzuki bandit smoking
If it's after 30 seconds I'd say it's burning a little oil. Does it continue past that? If so, sounds like something is worn in your engine (probably valve guide seals). If not, you're fine, just keep on riding.

Re: Cee Bailey vs. Rifle
The vent is actually pretty remarkable for how much it helps in a hot environment, especially at low speeds.

Re: Wrider's Scribblings
Unfortunately that's not quite true with sportbike tires on a long straight commute. My commute is about 25 miles each way on the highway, so they get squared off really fast. Besides, I drive the Forester, which gets about 25-26 MPG on average, and the bike averages around 40. Not to mention that b...

Re: Wrider's Scribblings
Been a while since I posted here... Let's see... Still have the bike. Didn't put many miles on it this year. An exceptionally rainy year combined with the fact that my commute is pure highway miles, then add in lots of school and the fact that I'm too broke to afford new tires and such means I didn'...

Re: cruise control throttle lock for an ST 1100
I am a cheapskate and made my own. I simply took a wire hanger, straightened it out, then wrapped it around the grip, twisting it back together just slightly longer than the brake lever. I cut it off, then covered it with 2 layers of shrink wrap. I have it right enough that it holds its grip, but lo...

Re: Honda Magna V30 (VF500C) engine timing
Sure he said timing? Sounds more like valves to me.
If so there are plenty of YouTube videos on adjusting valves, and it's not that hard if you can use feeler gauges properly.

Re: Please help me with understanding a hydraulic clutch
Yup what brumbear said! Those springs are about 25 pounds each, and there are usually 5 or 6 of them so around 125 to 150 lbs of pressure to activate it.

Re: Helmet Shield
I wear a Scorpion Exo 500 and it has the internal sun visor. I love it because I leave the clear shield on and just flip the sun visor up or down depending on if I need it or not.

Re: The Frozen Nuts Game!!
Lol just moving it out of the garage doesn't count. But yeah I'm in. As soon as I get a chance to replace my valve cover gasket I'll be riding a half hour to 45 minutes to work daily. Although if this winter is like last, we won't be below 0 too often.

Maybe restrict it to two wheeled vehicles to give us a fighting chance?
