  1. PM sent to Bad, dont want to spill the beans, but lets just say the Katana is no longer in the same condition as it was when it was sold. If the current owner is still a member here and he cares to go into details he can. I was offered the bike back and I turned it down.

    Back on topic, nice bit of video editing. It does take a boatload of time.

  2. Thanks Ninja.

    I have been on a few group rides ( the covered bridge and the parks/waterfall ride) and all was good. Even with the mixed style of bikes, everything worked out great. I know my bike is usually the oldest one on the ride, but it is all I have now so it will have to work. It was cool when I had my Katana so i had options on what bike to ride based on the type of ride. In hind sight, I should have kept that Katana.

  3. I will get a manual for the Durango this week.

    I noticed a few drips under the front of the Durango this afternoon. I took the splash gaurd down and I thought it was oil. I just changed the oil 2 weeks ago. The oil filter was wet, so I replaced the oil filter, thinking maybe the rubber o-ring on the filter had a leak.

    While I was replacing that, I noticed the front core support was wet.

    I did not see any signs of leak on the radiator surface that I could see in front of the fan. Does not appear to be the hose clamps or the water pump. I pressure tested the system, but still not able to locate the actual point on the leak. Must be a spot on the radiator that I can not see due to the fan shroud and coolant over flow bottle.

    Any tips before I attempt this? I haven't done a google search yet either.

    It appears the radiator is removed from the front. Looks like there should be enough room if the AC condenser is moved alittle.

    The transmission lines appear to be a push fit, kinda like the older GM fuel filter connections?

    I plan to replace the upper and lower hoses and also the thermostat too.

    So then the second part will be bleeding the cooling system.

    Thanks in advance.

  4. I was watching a show I had recorded, and there was an commercial for a new show on Discovery Channel called American Guns. I did not see any information about this show on Discovery's website.

    This looks like the show that Sons of Guns could have been.

    A quick google search =

    The Wyatts are your typical suburban family... who just happened to own one of the premiere firearms facilities in the world. Rich Wyatt and his wife Renee own Gunsmoke, located outside Denver, Colorado, where they buy, sell and trade guns - from hand canons to hunting rifles. And if you don't see what you want, they'll build one for you - from nothing more than a block of metal. Gunsmoke has the largest and most experienced group of gunsmiths in the state. When the Wyatts aren't building or selling guns, they're shooting them. No gun leaves their shop without being test fired by the family first. They - and the one-of-a-kind and historic guns they make and sell - are featured in the all-new series AMERICAN GUNS, premiering Monday, October 10th at 10PM ET/PT.

    The Wyatt family takes their guns very seriously. For 18 years they have owned Gunsmoke, turning the small business into a firearms enterprise. Rich is a master firearms trainer and former police officer with more than 22 years experience in law enforcement. He is one of only six people in the world certified by Colonel Jeff Cooper, a master firearms instructor and one of the 20th century's foremost experts on the use and history of small arms. And Rich is an extremely talented gunsmith. Give him a block of steel and he'll create art.

    Renee is the matriarch of the Wyatt clan. She runs the household and the business. And she doesn't go anywhere without her pistol in her boot. Kurt, 21, is the son of Rich and Renee. He qualified as a pistol expert at the age of 13 and is a gifted engraver, doing all of the engraving jobs that come through Gunsmoke. He hopes to one day own the shop his father has built up. Daughter Paige is a 16-year-old high school senior and works in the shop summers and nights/weekends. But don't let her looks fool you. She knows more about guns than most men who walk into the shop. And before you know it, you'll be buying one from her.
