Ouch? Yes, but he's right. I've seen MANY threads about it from back before it even got close to being cold.

Wimp! Ride it when it's COLD out, at least once! I tell ya, a couple gear improvements, and I would ride in the cold more. It's just tough to get myself to go through gearing up enough for the cold with only a couple miles to go for my daily commute (1.8 each way.)

When Tiger had his knee surgery (I think that's what it was, I don't pay much attention) and was out for a while before, golf tournament viewership numbers were down by 50% or more.

One more thing, Jcroz: Many people say to put sta-bil in it, some say not to bother. The argument most make against it is true, which is that for the few months you have it put away, the fuel's not going to degrade enough to cause problems. That's my experience, anyway. One thing to consider though is what happens if you get injured, and can't ride the bike until say.... September? Or the following year? NOW we're into issues, if you don't get sta-bil into it. I'm banking on being able to ride it in mid to late March, so I'm probably going to forego the sta-bil, and just make sure I have a full tank. I can use the need to fill the tank on the Ninja as an excuse to get all my gear back out next week! For the oil change, I think I'm going to wait until I get the bikes back out, and put a few easy miles on them (couple hundred each, or so) before I change the oil. That way, any moisture will get evaporated, or "mixed" into the oil, and drained out. I know oil and water don't mix, but water will get suspended in oil when mixed up in a crankcase, but separate to the bottom after sitting. Of course, it all depends on how much work I do to the bikes. I already have th evalve covers off the Hon-duh, and I have to do starter clutch work on the Neenjerrrr...

Oh yeah, I love it, too! Get done with work, and feel like working on the bike, it's right there! I still haven't decided how far I'm gonna go on mine this year. I would LIKE to rebiuld the engine, strip it down to the frame and repaint the frame and the fairings.

Word of your kind () get's around. It's all WAYYY TMI for me, and many others though.... Careful, I think Sam has a thing for you now....

Besides, they usually don't have 2-wheeled golf carts, and would probably from on your sumo tearing up the course!

Personally, I don't think a JOB all by itself is much of a reason to stay somewhere, or even to move somewhere. That might be just me, though.

Is that what she/he told you?

I haven't played beer pong in......forever!

Doesn't everyone? Either that, or he's a Ben wannabee! Or a Ben groupie!

Ah, ok. I already have the bar to hold the cams from a set that we had bought when we did our first SOHC 4.0, I think. Really, any piece of flat stock close to the same thickness works, and ironically, that's something you need on a VW TDI! The special tool that they list on the newer onesis different, but the flat bar will work. On the TDI, you just need to use a feeler gauge to take up the space so that the cam will be just right. Most of the time, I just leave the pulley intact and don't need to be exact, as the belt will pullit back into alignment. The injection pump takes a pin tool to align it, but I find a drill bit that's the right diameter instead of the special tool. Wow, all this is coming from memory, other than verifying that the newer ones use the same tools as the mid to late 90's cars!

Does that mean I get a free round with your second best sheep as my "reward" for over 2000 posts?

Amazing, isn't it? I'm kinda missing the bashing, I might have to go bump one of his threads back to the top.... Not me! Not even once!

I broke 2000 posts! Yay me!

Sorry to take this off topic, and get serious, but I was reading, or heard somethingt the other day talking about burn-in on flat screens, they were saying that burn-in on most of the newer panels is not very likely, and that only the early plasma's had issues with it, and weren't that bad about it anyway.

Existenz. I don't think this one got a lot of a following.

Tattoo and Coke again tonight. Mmmm...

While I don't care for it personally, I TOTALLY respect the work that went into making it look the way it does! We had a customer bring in a partially assembled Cobra kit a few years ago, for us to complete. It turned out AWESOME! They decided they want it black, with no stripes. The 5.0 EFI engine was NOT stock, it was a fun ride, but not something that I would own, although I really enjoy working on that sort of stuff! The kit was from Factory Five, which I've been told is one of the better Cobra kit car companies out there.

Intersting....

Good idea, wish I had thought of it...

That's my lunch today...

Wihout rep, it means NOTHING!
