  1. Has it run normally since the stator rewind? Who did the stator/rotor work? Was the procedure followed to retorque the rotor? Getting the rotor torqued correctly is a PITA on the Helicon. Since the wheel won't move...I'm guessing you have a loose rotor that has become seized or your starter is stuck. Can you remove the starter and then see if the wheel will move?
  2. French tires on an eye-tailian scoot?
  3. Now it's looking like I might need to replace the water heater. The timing blows since I just paid the deposit on my new patio this morning.
  4. I have a leaky hot water tank. Probably needs a pipe to be soldered. Need someone today or tomorrow.
  5. FI, good for 2up, kinda cheap https://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/5234286967.html
  6. It's the Indian not the arrow. Zing!
  7. ^^^ I recently rode with a couple guys on new BMW S1000XR's. That is a pretty impressive motorcycle for distance, corners, and some unpaved stuff, too.
  8. The VFR12 is plenty comfy and quick through the corners. Not to mention gobs of motor.
  9. That could be my old Pacific Coast. I brought it on 1 CORE ride. It actually did pretty well.
  10. I remember badly wanting a Hurricane back in the day.
  11. "Do you know why I pulled you over" is a phrase that makes me fight with every fiber of my being to not say something totally asshole-ish. Umm...because you were a "D" student and didn't have the foot speed to play junior college football.
  12. That seems like an awful lot of effort to try to get you to admit to something that the OHP would never have witnessed.
  13. School me on subarus...they are primarily used to haul lesbians.
  14. I am not following this. Why would they call you? If they were going to give you a ticket wouldn't that have happened on the side of the road? I once had an off duty cop radio ahead and I was pulled over as soon as I entered a town (Smithville) where I was riding under the speed limit. I actually got quite belligerent on the side of the road. So much that the on duty cop told me to get the hell out of his town without a citation.
  15. It seems like it's been forever since I've seen anyone. I'm still not 100% but at least I'm back riding.
  16. I'm leaving shortly. The weather should be quite good.
  17. Self defense shooting is NOT target shooting. If you're in a struggle, you'll be operating on adrenaline with maybe just seconds to act. Many CCW pistols have small crappy sights. Why? Because if someone is attacking you there is no time to look through the sights anyway. Ask a cop who's been involved in a shooting if they used the sights. If you really want to practice with a small CCW gun, try shooting 5 to 7 yds at a silhouette. Hold the pistol in front of your chest (not using sights or even a laser) and quickly empty the mag. If you have another mag empty that one, too. Then do it again left handed. Any shot that hits the silhouette is a good one.
  18. What do you think you're doing wrong
