  1. I got the tank sealed temporarily, thanks to some JB Weld and some tank sealer. Hasn't leaked a drop in over 24 hours so I'll see how long it lasts for now. My only thing is I didn't prep it that great before I stuck the JB to it.

  2. I tried some tank sealer but it was the putty crap and slowed it a lot but still a slow leak now. I am trying to stay away from welding and buying a new one. I priced them and ouch, the cheapest I seen was like $560. As for actually seeing the leak no but with the tank completely off and fuel level below the petcock and everything else it's dry until the hinge area. That leads me to think a seam or something but I'm far from an expert on this situation. I appreciate your inputs and any more ideas would be great.

  3. I just picked up a 1999 SV 650 and it has a fuel leak. I checked into it today and was hoping it was just a hose or something minor but the tank is leaking by the hinge. Does anyone have a used tank or know where I can find one cheap. I was also wondering about welding it or other possible solutions on how to fix the tank I have.

  4. A few years ago about 2 weeks before my motorcycle Ohio course I broke my arm in a quad accident. I showed up to class in a cast, they looked at me like I was nuts and asked me if the DR. ok me riding I told them no but was still going to take the class. Then they asked if I was going to be able to operate the bike safely, I said I'll try. Long story kinda short, I passed with flying colors actually the highest score in the class 100%. If you feel like you can handle it, go for it. Ride a short distance and see how it feels. If its not too awful ride more just don't hurt yourself cause you want back on. On a side note my DR was pissed when I showed back up to the office with my cast packed with mud from hill climbing and flipping the quad.

  5. A few weeks ago we cought a momma and 6 baby skunks, 4 of the babies were on the outside of the cage and being under a year old they cant spray. I walked up to the cage with a big blanket and covered it. We had the cage on a sheet of plywood so it was gonna be easier to carry. Of course I had to hold a baby but anyways we carefully carried the cage and put it into the bed of the truck, drove like 20 minutes down the road and we released them. Mommy skunk was pissed and sprayed under the blanket but the smell wasnt so strong. I slowly opened the trap door and she ran like hell and the babies hung out for a little bit.

  6. I have the Droid X and love it! So much you can do with them and I don't know half of it. I do have some nice shooting apps on it that calculate my yardage or gets my windage and everything for long distance shooting and gives my hold over where I need to put my crosshairs to hit my target according to my surrounding environment.

  7. It all depends on where im at if I carry concealed or open. I mainly wear my blackhawk cqb serpa holster and with the XD(M) 40 its kinda hard to conceal that way, if im on the quad or going out hunting I use a tactical drop down leg holster and don't care who sees it wherever I go.

  8. Don't you just hate when that happens?

    Yeah it sucks, I have since upgraded it with a free float quad rail, vertical grip with bi-pod, 1" raiser with scope. I've been working 7 days a week so it hasn't been shot yet but I can't wait to put some lead down range :D
