Strictly Street

Looks good! There still is some good riding weather left this season.

I can't break the chain. Been there at every one so far this year I think. (Except Monsoon Wed) Supposed to be 51 @ 10PM tonight. So a long sleeved shirt and a riding jacket ought to do just fine.

All except for the parking bit can't make that one fly.

Some ideas for you all. The 'Blue Screen of Death" Ummm... OH!! The humanity!

:lol::lol: Lucky you survived!

Greetings

Hmm... hottie cakes nom, nom, nom...

greetings “You meet the nicest people on a Honda,” Honda’s revolutionary advertising slogan, “You meet the nicest people on a Honda,” shattered the myth that bikes were only for tough guys and rebels. Single-handedly, Honda had made motorcycling appealing to everyone. By 1965, Honda was selling well over a quarter-million motorcycles annually. In 1968, Honda created a bike for the baby boomer youth market, the z50ra. Although similar in power to the z50, the qa50 was an excellent beginner’s bike, utilizing a two-speed automatic transmission. Honda made four models of the qa50 over a four year period. The example you see here is the “k0.” The fenders and fuel tank were offered in three matching colors–gypsy yellow, sprout green, and scarlet red. “From mighty to mini, Honda has it all.” Specifications: Manufacturer: Honda Motor Co. Ltd. Country of Origin: Japan Engine: 49cc, OHV, single cylinder Transmission: 2 speed automatic Top Speed: 30 miles per hour Years of Production: 1970-74 Number Produced: _____ Original Cost: ____

Just in time for Halloween too!

Been there, done that. It was a great day to ride. I feel better already!

Glad you is all good. Heal fast brother!

Hookers and blow 1/2 price tomorrow! :lol:

I think your right. By 10PM its going to be a frosty 55 degrees. If nobody else is going to show I think I'll just stay local. Well, maybe next week.

So I took the car out in the rain last nigh to see what would happen. On the way to a friends house it acted up only once. On the way back, well that was another story. Starts right up, idles fine. Popped it in gear and down the road. As long as the RPM's are low it seems to run ok. But once rolling, as it starts to upshift through the gears is when it gets weird. The engine seems to stop for a half second. Again and again. Floor it and the engine roars to life and accelerates away, then it chokes/stops/whatever. Tried keeping it in a lower gear, no help. Tried going real easy on the gas, no help. once it starts doing its thing the only thing to do is either way more gas or way less. Then going back to the same throttle position gets the same result. If this was an older car I'd be looking at the timing advance or something like that. It's almost like it wants to pop/backfire through the carb if it had one. Maybe a fuel filter, idk. Hmm... I'll have to look and see if I can find that little item. Injector system, wonder where the filter is on that? By the tank? I'm thinking I'm going to have to hit a local shop for this one. Any idea how much the average shop would charge to change out the 24x sensor? I don't think it will make it to Johnstown without me shooting it and pushing it over a hill on the way. Very frustrating to drive. Acts ok, then, well you get the idea.

I'm out. Was up for this, I like Moose's place. Got an invite to turkey and fixings Thanksgiving rehearsal dinner. Not a wedding just practicing gluttony in advance, with gravy. nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom I know, I'll have to pay... As if!

OK, I looked all over the MAS to throttle body connection. Couldn't find a vacuum leak. If there is one I don't know how to find it. Everything looks tight and there aren't any wear spots on anything I could see. I still can't see that sensor but I can see where it is that I can't see so that is prolly where it is hiding. No way I can get to it with out pulling the balancer. Don't have the tools for that job. Starting to look like this one is beyond my abilities to fix. Sux!

Nice write up, great pics.

(Can't help it) Screw all that, get a NINJA and a PIRATE!!!

lol!!!

School not work, but yes, riding.

The LED sign on the bank on the way home said 39 degrees. I think it was wrong, but even so it wasn't bad out tonight. No bugs! Bike night was a flop, very few bikes there. Only 4 riders showed up from OR. So we went to Hooters and had some wings, yum!

Retro looks. I like it!

So your thinking it is a vacuum problem. Ok that sounds cheap! Ok, I'm looking for a leak between the air filter and the engine somewhere? Let you know what I find out...
