  1. Here is how I would remove a pilot bearing from inside the end of the crank on my old sbc motor. Fill the hole partially, with grease. Make sure its at the back of the hole. Then take a drift that just fits into the bearing, the closer the size, the better. Take a hammer and strike the drift like you were hammering it into the hole in the crank. It forces the bearing right our, even if the bearing was pressed in.

  2. People are fucking idiots.everyone forgets how to drive every winter. Modern safety restraints thwart Darwins attempt at removing them from the gene pool. I passed a car on the way home that spun off the road into someones yard. I know how to drive in the snow, not too fast but not too slow.

    Exactly. This little bit of snow and slush is nothing. If ya can't handle driving reasonably, can't handle a little snow, then stay home.

  3. Just like people on Craigslist wanting $1,000 more than their bike is worth. People.don't understand that a used gun is not as valuable as a new one. It's like anything else, as soon as you buy it, its worth less than it was in the case, with the exception of very few items over a very long.period of time. These morons must be holding out for someone who isn't allowed to buy a gun legally and has no choice.

    This is becoming more the norm most everywhere.

    I have been looking for an old yamaha dirt bike, '70s vintage. I am seeing prices like $3k! And when I call to check them out, they are already sold.

    Supply and demand, too many people who are willing to just open their wallet without using what I would call common sense.

  4. Coffee Shop Visits-Never go

    Incandescent Light Bulbs-LOL

    Disposable Water Bottles-Very seldom buy them.

    Baggage Fees-Never Fly

    Subscriptions You Don't Use-Very few, use what I subscribe to

    Baby Food-Nope

    Credit Score Fees-Nope

    Cable-gotsta have

    Landline Phones-Free long distance

    Cleaning Supplies-LOL

    ATM Fees-Nope

    Home Repairs You Can Do Yourself-I do most everything myself

  5. Every hotel/motel I have asked about parking my bike inside has said NO!!!....lol. One little joint in Gunnison, Co. did have a nice porch and said I could park it up on the covered porch.

    Think you can pull in it through a single door? I always figured on having to get a handicap accessible room for that.

  6. Riding the Black Hills and the Needles around Rapid City, Deadwood and Sturgis is simply spectacular. We rode out there before the event (mid June) to avoid the throngs of bikes just so we could ride the area. We rode out and laid over 2 nights but we went across I70 through Missouri then north. Taking a more direct route might let you stay over just one night if you like 8-10 hour ride days on the super slab. We preferred 2 lanes once we crossed the Missouri at Council Bluffs Iowa into Omaha. Sturgis and Wyoming slab speeds are 75 mph so once there you can make great time riding across SD. Devils Tower in Wy is not too far from Rapid City and is a cool stop as well.

    I want to go to Sturgis once to experience it all, but I get tired real fast of being in the middle of massive crowds like that.

    Actually riding in Wyoming turned out to be fantastic too. Maybe better overall considering everything.

  7. Comcast has been at the top of the list of worst customer service off and on for years now.

    We had problems with Verizon getting much the same kind of indifferent responses. We kept digging online and found a list of the people on the board for Verizon. The list also had phone numbers and email address's. Surprising how fast we got good service with a couple of carefully considered phone calls to some board members.

    Seems the Comcast headquarters was in Denver back when we used them.

    Good luck!

  8. I'm sure this has already been considered, but is the deck you are setting this on built to handle that kind of weight? Over 8#/gal plus the weight of the tub and occupants adds up quick.

    Then there's the sloshing wave action I am thinking is going to happen......lol

  9. Actually I was sad to see OSU lose. Its being said the UMeyer said for once he was taking over a program that was not broke. I think the program is in worse shape than he is letting on. But they will recover and bring good football back to the university before too long.

  10. no shit right?!?

    Also, OR is the best and I'm glad you understood that there is no need to sell overpriced junk here. If I needed an HDMI cable, I'd gladly take simplysix diseased cable. I've always been known to play a little disease roulette with my life

    LOL, man I have to agree this site is great. So I am guilty of just trying to sell a cable I bought from bestbuy for too much, unknowingly. I put a price on it less than half what I paid, and usually most people I have dealt with expect to haggle the price. I never really figured to get what I thought it might be worth. And instead of someone just pm'ing me about the price deal, I get links showing where people can get cables cheaper? On any other site I deal with that kind of bs is considered by admins to be a bullshit action. A couple of them would give offending members a warning. Guess not here tho. Instead it becomes a frenzy trying to make me look like I am trying to screw someone.

    I wasn't pissed about the money but rather the way it came down. So maybe I was wrong about this site. Or is it just the members? But the members make the site most of what it is, so go figure.

    When I deal with someone I try and show them respect but not when they start shitting on me right out of the gate. Something I would never do to someones 'for sale' thread.

    Go ahead and blaze away, make yourselves feel good. :rolleyes:

  11. six doesn't seem you need to try to be a dick, it just comes naturally.

    As to your free cable, I would be very careful taking anything from you, its probably diseased.

    Yep crazy, I see the cable prices have dropped alot. Guess I am just screwed trying to get anything out it.

  12. So? Are you the post police? You're

    'I wasn't trying to shit on your thread
    ' is bullshit. If you are not interested in buying it for whatever reason then stfu. You want to be friendly about it and let me know about pricing, then pm me. That's cool. Don't come in here saying 'hey everybody, you can buy it cheaper somewhere else. That is chickenshit.

    What a dick

  13. Thanks serpent. I appreciate the consideration, something SimplySix and ChrisKnight might observe.

    I have the receipt right in my hand so I know how much I paid. Either of them could have just pm'd me or made an offer. If all they did was come in to shit on my for sale thread then they can both stick it where the sun never shines.

    I do appreciate your consideration though.
