Yeah, what he said. Stick it up yer ass, Tonik! Ha. Ha.

This happens with my John Deere tractor quite frequently, to the point where when I'm done mowing and shut off the ignition, I'm actually surprised when it doesn't backfire *loudly* a few moments later. We are taking Steve's bike up to the Mentor HD dealer tomorrow morning. I will be sure to post what their mech says was wrong with it after we get it back.

There's a special place in hell for these two idiots. https://fox8.com/2019/07/13/suspected-thieves-steal-wallet-from-injured-motorcyclists-use-credit-cards-to-go-shopping/

BTW, doesn't excessive backfiring indicate that the bike is running very lean fuel-wise? I seem to remember that this causes heat damage to the pistons, rings, and connecting rods.

My brother Steve has the bike back for now, but reported that though it ran okay for a while it backfired a lot on his way home from the shop (about 5 miles away) and then began acting up again. It's still not running right; apparently all the mech did was load it up with sea foam and tell him to ride it to clear possible fuel obstructions--at least that's what Steve told me they did. This seems rather unethical on the mech's part; I'll forward all your advice to him and try to get up there to help with diagnosing this, or simply suggest he ride it over to the nearest HD dealer, which he probably shoulda done in the first place. Thanks for your help, guys.

Hey, y'all-- My brother's six-year-old Harley ElectraGlide suddenly lost power during a recent ride. I followed him in my car as he rode it up to a local repair shop, and the exhaust reeked of unburnt fuel. The bike struggled to climb even modest grades in the roads, requiring him to downshift into a lower gear. The exhaust note sounded very "tinny." The shop recommended that he run sea foam thru it in order to clear any possible gunk from the injection ports. Does this sound legit??? Any diagnostic opinions welcome.

Wife and I have camped often at Salt Fork and Mohican state parks. Nice, secluded sites, plenty to do nearby. There's great kayaking on the Mohican River in Loudonville, and lots of great places to eat nearby. The roads are in pristine conditions if you choose to ride to either one of these parks.

Careful! This topic is what started the fracas earlier in this thread 😅

I'm sure Sam can help you with this. Be patient, it shouldn't be long now . . .

Motocat, this is absolutely hilarious! OR riders beatin' the shit outta each other instead of rival gang members. Just a nice, leisurely trip with a few friends . . . ☠️

I would agree. It's the same as any other social group. If it were me, I would take recommendations from a friend or trusted associate who is involved and/or who is aware of the group's culture. Very similar to finding the right job, no? Similar in that you want to fit in and share common values.

Can we pleeeeese resurrect this thread? It was so OR, e.g., snarky.

Uh, not during the 1980s. Good salaries, lots of, uh, "opportunities." That was my experience. That and snorting cocaine offa yer house key in the men's room. "Bon temps," as the French would say. I recall witnessing a moto accident from a bar window, running outside, and helping the victims until EMS arrived, despite my after-work cocktails. God almighty, that was a while ago . . . VACUUM, not vaccum. Teaching English even while off for the summer--cuz the world needs it.

Ninja, WTF kinda food is that on the white plate? The photo is cool, but . . .

If you bought his gun it's no longer his. It's yours, asshat.

'Nam was nothing compared to The fucking Catalina wine mixer NEO meat and greet extravaganza

Yep. Pretty much 😂

There's a great little place in my neighborhood. I eat there frequently. The place is called My House. Excellent food, though the menu is rather limited.

Hillbilly handfishin'. Looks like fried catfish on the plate Love it.

Welcome, Eric! This site is full of good, knowledgeable people.

Hang in there, Scuba. Maybe you'll get lucky next time.
