Kyle, I miss it too. I got to go to one race this year. Getting by with videos just ain稚 getting it. But I did listen to an interview last week about Royal Enfields plan to go racing. I would say they are serious. A comment was dropped that the AFT legal twin will sell for about $10k. If that...

Happy anniversary to the Birds! RNG, before I DO anything I will make sure I have a back up copy of the existing file. I have had to straighten out too many hydraulic par files that were mangled by the unknowing. My advice to most techs when I am talking to them about settings is to look but...

Well RNG.....sounds like you have dealt with the same provider. Except where I live, it is all fairly new (less than 3 years) fiber optic. The problem isn稚 the lines, it it is usually equipment/software issues at the routers or whatever they call them. This area got fiber optic since there are...

I got a notice from the phone company that they have an appointment scheduled today to fix the internet. No time listed, but it will be fixed by the end of the day. Let痴 recap....heard that line Thursday, Friday, and Monday......the track record is not good. Sorry, had to vent...... :p

Good morning! 48 and raining now. Supposed to get to 66 later with some storms and more rain. With the rain forecast for this week, looks like working on the lower drive this past Saturday was a good idea. Continued thoughts for BEF痴 sis and BIL. County I live in - Tuscarawas has 23 cases...

Best wishes for your sister BEF. LS, I had the brisket in the smoker for 5 hours. I don稚 know why, but I have always had exceptional luck doing briskets. Well, the tech has been here since a few minutes after 1. He is stumped. Everything he checks shows I have exceptional connections...

I have been to Scunthorpe, Scunthorpe, UK that is!

Good afternoon. Looks like it could rain later. 50 and nice out. For the loader, lots of good suggestions, here is an odd one. Set the cutting edge parallel with a flat surface and lower the bucket to the ground. Shut the tractor off. Loosen all bolts that retain the loader to the tractor. You...

Good evening. Been a dreary day with drizzle and near constant 43 all day. Everyone that can work from home has been banished to home. And no travel, even though I had to travel today to Cleveland area. Funny how that works. Spent a lot of the day trying to work with IT to get the VOIP phone...

Good morning! Sunny day so far, but allegedly going to rain later. At work, we have a small group that shares assorted humorous items via text messages. Many are not fit for public consumption. But, got this one last night that made me laugh. And I can share it!

Seeing deer around the house is pretty common. A couple even come by to see one of the cats on a regular basis. I think he has a couple of females who like him. Strange site seeing the cat prancing around in the window sill for 2 young does. When we first moved here, we had a doe grow up in the...

Just a typical day around here....

Good evening! We didn稚 get much stirm. A bit of wind, small amount of ice, maybe 1 of snow. Temperature has been 27 all day. Wife was headed to work this morning, left early, was being sensible, got passed by a SUV at high speed that was not exactly going straight. About a mile further down...

Thanks Frank, I am already finding it difficult to bite my tongue. A lot of it is my fault too...I deal with very complex hydraulic and electrical systems I find easy to work with and understand. Many of the calls I get are from people that are bewildered by a burned out bulb. I don稚 handle...

Good evening and Happy New Year.... Waiting for the rain to arrive. Supposed to be near 50 through tomorrow night. First day back to work in about 2 weeks. It was real answering the phones today. My favorite was the guy who called, had a starter that was cranking slow when cold, so he got a...

Kyle, That is a ?50? which was actually 325cc. It was Bul痴 knee jerk reaction to needing a big bore, so it was a 250 that was bored and stroked as far as it could be stretched. The rod can be the weak link in this engine. 250 size bearings in a 325 are a bit small. The head to cylinder joint is...

I took one final motorcycle ride in 2019. Took my Bu,taco for a ride in the woods. It was cool (32), wet, it had been snowing lightly...so why not. I went and enjoyed some time in the woods. It isn’t,t new, it isn’t exotic, it definitely isn’t fast, but was just the right choice for a last ride...

Kyle, I am using KBS coating which is urethane based, not epoxy based. The urethane goes on thin and is supposed to flex, unlike the epoxy coatings which are thick and rigid. I tried KBS on a used fiberglass tank and it has worked very well. Used fiberglass is hard to get a coating to adhere.

We had a short, intense storm this morning, was really humid rest of the day. Has become very comfortable in the last 2 hours, humidity dropped.

Good morning! 45 now. May get to 67 later and dry again today. Supposed to be near 90 this weekend. 2nd cup of coffee is almost gone. And I am soon gonna be gone to work for the day..... We worked outside last evening. More progress for yard work for the year. May start putting some plants...

Congrats to BEF on the Graduate. Happy Mother痴 Day to mother痴 everywhere!

:thumbsup: I was at a local race last night. Was helping Johnny. We had a great result in the Vintage 250 race. We were parked next to the Vanderkooi痴.....came home with a JV20 hat. Ronnie Rall was racing last night at the tender age of 80 on a rigid frame, brakeless HD KR! Maybe some pics later.

Good morning, 47 now, maybe 75 later. No rain until tomorrow. We have had several dry days in a row. Needed to dry out some. Wife and I have been doing outside work each evening after work. Amazing how much we can get accomplished an hour a night. Frees up time on the weekend. Got a nice...

Good morning! 50 now, 82 later. And no rain until tonight. Think I will ride to work today. Steel mill visit was not a big deal. Machine had to have a complete hydraulic tune up. I think we turned about every screw on the hydraulic system. And I had to adjust every single performance parameter...

Kyle, I couldn稚 stay awake last night for the AFT race. Did watch heats/semis. Sounds like Jiggy Dog had quite a night. Was disappointed JV20 didn稚 get a top 10. Figure I will get some detail from his dad this week. DG122 is certainly proving he has gotten his act together. I am...

Good morning. Raining now, dry the rest of day, then the rain returns tonight into tomorrow. 48 now, about 65 later. Hope all goes well for Birds daughter and Kyle痴 surgery. Mowed some of the yard with the New Holland last night for the first time this year. Been using the old Craftsman GT...

Good morning. 48 now, 65 later with some rain. Rest of the week is similar. Driest day is Saturday, which is good. First Ohio race of the year at Mansfield. Should be a large turnout. We are running the Yamaha with the newly built motor. The rider and I have been talking set up. Suspension has...

Well, seems my work around works too well. A simple 5 minute removal of a coil fixes the problem. Almost as well as doing it correctly with software changes. But hey, I am actually ok with it. I was pretty happy this afternoon. Even though it is raining this evening...life is good.

:cool2: Ok Ron, LS, the trip to Europe has gone from.....俳k, I will go but not thrilled to 的 am going to prove a point? Because I can. Most of the 途est of the story came into focus today. Seems decisions were made to do things expediently but not necessarily correctly. Some one was allowed to...

Good morning. 58 now, maybe 80 later. Rain tonight into tomorrow. Other than rain, next week or so looks pretty mild. 1 cup of coffee gone, time for another. Well, I did have a meeting about the Germany/France trip. On my terms and with only the international sales manager involved. The...

Good morning! 54 now, 73 later. Yesterday turned out to be a nice day. Tomorrow might be the first 80 of the year. I mowed Saturday, looks like I need to mow again already. Yep, definitely spring. Changed the oil and did some other spring maintenance to my 68 BSA last evening. Started in 3...

Good morning. 32 now, supposed to get to 66 today. Never got above 50 yesterday. But tomorrow is looking good! 1st cup of coffee is gone, ready for #2. No word from Germany.....I suspect this weekend I will be heading across the big pond. I feel for you with the propane line issues. That...

Good morning! 34 right now, big change from the weekend. Was 74 Saturday, 72 Sunday. Yesterday was rain in the morning, then cleared and was nice, then big storms in the evening. Already a confirmed tornado northwest of here, lots of other damage north of here. No injuries that I have heard...

Good morning, 62 now, supposed to rain later. Got to 79 yesterday, warmest day this year so far. Weekend looks mostly decent. Looks like I am not going to France next week! As I suspected, the brain trust had the cart before the horse again, the people in Germany and France are not able to do...

Up early, kept waking up thinking of things I need to do to be in Europe for a week. Likely have to leave Saturday. And actually expected to have some info on which city I need to be in. Check mail/texts........nada. This doesn稚 give me a warm fuzzy about the size of the crisis.... Guess I can...

What I thought was going to be a mellow day turned into a surprise..... Seems there is a minor issue in France/Germany with a customer. 4 people have punted on resolving it. I am expected to be there 1st thing Monday morning and get it resolved. It has is Easter week......travel to/from...

Good morning! Big change from yesterday. 38 now, will struggle to maybe 52 today. But tomorrow is looking good, predicted to be 74. Didn稚 ride yesterday, by the time I was ready to go, fog had descended onto the side of the hill. But 3 miles up the road, it was clear. That is ok, ran some...

Good morning. Having the 2nd cup of coffee already. Slept good last night and didn稚 want to get out of bed this morning. 52 now, supposed to get to 65 later. Never got any rain yesterday. Yea, I was smiling when I got to work. Gonna repeat today. The triple will sing again today. Time to get...

Good morning. 55 now, near 70 later. Got to 74 yesterday. Ran the rototiller in the garden yesterday. Figured new fence Saturday, may as well get the ground broken. The old beast tiller started on the first pull and ran great all day. My body, not so much, feeling it today. Well...first day...

Good morning. 45 now, may get to 70 later. Possibly some rain this afternoon. Yesterday was 登nly 65, but felt warmer. Felt good! So much going on with everyone in the thread. Since I don稚 write it down or remember very well.....hope everything works out for everyone. Hopefully that covers it...

You get the traffic fun everyday......... Hopefully the early start this morning limits the traffic fun.

Buckeye- I am actually in Columbia/Jessup area for the next 2 days. Gonna go over to Charles Town area to visit with step son and his wife Wednesday before I head home

Good morning. 22 now, supposed to get to 44 today. Yesterday was pretty raw after Saturday. About 25 degree difference in temperature...... Did not really do much all weekend. Though I did clean off the work bench and fixed a leak on the one BSA. Internet is fixed. Between someone shooting a...

Good morning. 40 now (that was lucky to be a high a few weeks ago), going to near 50. Supposed to be a decent week, but going to be traveling to do training. At least weather in central IA looks to be decent. Yesterday was nice, made a lot of progress on the cargo trailer to toy hauler/ghetto...

26 now, 55 later and some rain. Supposed to be decent weekend. Time for another cup of coffee. Slept good again, but just feel the need for another cup. Maybe the first cup tasted too good. Thought yesterday was going to be quiet...seems sales had other plans. Had to spend most of the morning...

30 now. 45 or so later. Supposed to be a bit nicer each day thru the weekend. Little bit of rain but no washouts. Got the Champion race bike frame in the truck, goes for paint today. Found an irritating oil leak on another bike by accident. So last evening was productive. Now it is time to...

Happy belated b壇ay Phil. 22 now, supposed to be near 40 later today. Steadily getting warmer all week. Supposed to be near 60 by next weekend. Just not sure what I am going to get into today. Only thing for sure is a welding project this morning. Got a narrow window when the welder is...

Good morning, it痴 the weekend! 30 this morning, may get to 40. Looks like both days will be about the same temperature. Chance of some wet snow tomorrow. Only thing I need to do today is take on of the bike frames to have a new pipe rab welded on. May start gathering up some of the branches...

Good morning. 45 and supposed to slowly go down all day. Got to 75 or so before the storms came through last night. A lot of lightning/thunder/rain but wind was not bad. Possible tornado touched down further north. Power went out several times during the most intense time of lightning...

32 now and clear. Not that many days ago, was happy to see 32 for a high. Today is supposed to be near 57, tomorrow even warmer. Looks like rain tomorrow, then a bit cooler. I have been refining my saw tool kits. I have it to the point if i don稚 have it, then the repair isn稚 going to happen in...

It was a nice day here. Got to 46 with plenty of sun. Next couple of days are to be mild. For the chainsaws, rather than carry a box around, I picked up a tool a number of years ago that I can only describe as the Leatherman style chain saw tool. Sockets, screwdrivers, hook to clean the bar...

Good morning. 32 now, 44 and dry later. Not a bad looking week coming up weather wise. Some rain, nice warm up We壇. and Thursday. Back to work and see what mis-adventures this week brings..... Everyone have a safe and good day.

Kyle, Not much detail so guessing it was the 450 Honda. He has a loaner 450 Yamaha for the next 4 days. He won both vintage races he entered today. One on a Bultaco, the other on the 250 Kawasaki. Got 7th on the loaner Yamaha.

20 now, supposed to be 51 or so later. Rain tonight. May see 60 this week. I don稚 have to go to AZ on short notice. Common sense won. Well....obstinacy was a big factor too. I had decided not to go to Bike Week races in GA and FL so I could stay home and get some stuff done. Woke up to a text...

22 now, near 40 later today and quiet. It is FRIDAY which is good.couplr of days off. Though the downside....on short notice may have to go to AZ for an old machine. Not making me very happy. Not sure what I will get into this weekend. Everyone have a safe and good day.

5 now, may get to 20 today. May be near 60 Sunday......... The woodburner is getting a workout right now. Feels great in here. Hopefully today is quiet at work. Yesterday was, except for the calls from those who own equipment that is worn out and want to make it run like new for $50 or...

Good morning. It is 16 now. Likely not going to change much today. Next several days are to be similar. Ended up with about 2 of snow yesterday. Looks like the tornados in AL were devastating. Thoughts to all affected. I have noticed the stores locally have really cut back on any type of...

Good morning. 30 now and likely to stay about the same all day. We are on the northern edge of the weather advisory. Nothing happening yet. I know I drink too much coffee......a habit I acquired later in life. But I drink no soda....so there is that. And the coffee is always black. I was...

I could save this for tomorrow..... I didn稚 cut wood today. Got a panic visit from the new neighbors up the road. A corner of my property abuts a corner of their property. Seems they went for a walk in the woods and were in a panic because several of their dead ash trees fell on my property...

Good evening. Quiet weather day. High was about 33. Tomorrow rain and about 46. Next week looks a bit cool again. Training went well today. The younger employee I have been mentoring probably did about half the program today. In the 10 months he has been there, he has learned a lot. I am very...

Good morning. 22 now, big change from yesterday morning. Supposed to go to 31 today. Wind is still blowing. 60+ mph wind gusts in NEOH. Power stayed on here unlike other places. Showing lots of damage on the Cleveland news. Have to wait for daylight to see if there is any carnage here. Time...

Good evening. It was 55 this morning. Needed to run a few errands, so took the Triumph. First ride in a while. Felt good, but the beginning of the winds were pushing me around coming home. Now down to 33 and the wind is still blowing. Looks like a couple of dead ash trees cooperated and fell...

Good evening, 45 right now and supposed to get near 53 overnight. Supposed to be heavy rain later, then high winds overnight and all day tomorrow. Lots of weather warnings out right now. Sitting here enjoying one of my home brews. A stout with raspberries and chocolate. Came out well! Picked...

Hope things go well with your wife Roy. Good morning. 18 now which is warmer than predicted. Maybe 34 later. Going into Wednesday is going to be a mess. Snow first, then freezing rain, then just rain. Temp. Is supposed to get about 45. Should be fun. I do think most people can learn to do most...

Sadly.....that seems to be the way of the world anymore. I have many days like that........ :(

Good morning. 26 now, maybe 33 later. Then dropping to 15 or so tonight. Just got mostly rain yesterday, though for a while, it was mixed with chunks. Actually made progress on arranging a portion of the garage yesterday. Looks much better. Just got 2nd cup of coffee, time to get eat into...

Good morning! Been up for a while enjoying some coffee and the wood burner. It is 22 now, supposed to go to 35. Sun is shining, but it is supposed to all go to crap later. Freezing rain and snow. You will have that this time of year in this part of the world. Condolences to those who last...

2nd cup of coffee is brewed, 26 now, 34 for a high. Still under a flood watch after all of the rain yesterday. River was way up when I headed home last evening. Drew, anyone in the mobile equipment business regardless of size is struggling to find/retain qualified tech people. It is becoming a...

RIP Dr Who 35 and raining, supposed to rain all day and get near 50. The snow from yesterday is gone. Looks like the weather is gonna be unsettled the rest of the month...... 2nd cup of coffee is being consumed. Trying to get my head into work today.....guess I should get moving... Have a...

Before getting the ash trees cut, make sure they are not green ash. Apparently certain strains of green ash are actually poisonous to the emarald ash borer. The tree will look like death warmed over for a summer or 2 after infestation, then will recover. Seems one I was eyeing up to cut last...

Good morning, 30 right now, supposed to get near 38 later. We were 都upposed to get a light snow yesterday. Guess 4 is a light snow somewhere. Kyle - I will post some pics when the bike become presentable. This bike sat in pieces for years. I actually had a very productive day yesterday. Likely...

Our property is half way between Stone Creek and Baltic.

Good evening. Wow, what a change from Louisiana and yesterday in Ohio. It was about 72 every day in LA, 56 when I got home yesterday. Today, the high was 25. Supposed to be mid teens tonite. The woodburner is cranking out the heat this evening. After the incredibly long day Monday and another...

Good afternoon. About 72 in Louisiana, my visit with the customer ended early, at their request. Been a long week though. From the time I got up Monday morning until I went to bed Tuesday morning, I was awake 31 hours. Been a long time since I worked midnights. Hopefully this week is the last...

It is 33 now and headed to near 60 again like yesterday. Felt wonderful outside yesterday. Wife an$ i we羆*e both outsid doing some stuff, I had the garage doors open. Lots of melting going on. Time for another cup of coffee. Then off to LA for week. Still not sure if the customer expects me...

-6 right now, no wind. The warm up is to start later today, supposed to be 41 by Saturday. Crazy swing in temperature. But hey, it is weather.... I have been outside a fair amount the last couple of days. Gotta say, it really has not felt that cold to me. Yea, it is cold, but for some reason...

The cats are suffering horribly through this polar vortex...... windows screenshot program

Good morning. It is 5 right now, supposed to drop to -4 later today, then slowly starting warming. Supposed to be 50 by Sunday. The wood burner is feeling good right now! With the warm up Monday, little bit of rain, and sudden temperature fall.....our driveway was more like a downhill skating...

This one is for RNG, the Gold Star does bike night.....

Contrary to the reputation......I actually do not mind an Amal carb, plus I have years of hoarding parts. AmaL carbs are much simpler to tune, but also have some limitations due to the simplicity. For a 2 stroke race engine, the Amal has, IMO, a virtue. The simpler fuel handling system goes rich...
