  1. Congratulations on your purchase. It looks good! You will spend endless hours fiddling with this monster..
  2. I've subscribed to this "service" for a couple of years. Moe will send you a monthly post on what they do in their shop. I think they also restore old El Dorados and Ambassadors (to concours condition) too.
  3. What's so hard about swapping out a 1500 lb. battery ?
  4. OOOHHH.........I just figured out that you are referring to the motorcycle.
  5. I can't see one thing without being distracted by the other!
  6. Getting off the subject of global warming, I try to use anti-sieze lube or dry-film (multiple coats) graphite on any splines such as input shaft, clutch disc, rear drive hub and drive shaft. The dry film graphite on clutch disc because tou don't want anti-sieze or grease getting in the friction surface of the flywheel/pressure plate components.
  7. I just finished watching Lipps Inc singing (youtube)this. They looked and sounded a bit better.
  8. I suppose the package can include a greeting card with the "gift" to be official. Nobody gives used things as a gift,do they?
  9. To ALL readers or members, please read this ? carefully before responding. Are gifts sent from one person in one country(e.g. US to EU) to another person in another country subject to these duties,VATs and tariffs ?
  10. While I can stil say it: Merry Christmas !! Happy Holidays!! and Happy Holidays (especially)to ALL others also!!!
  11. Do they have the "Bush" shoe available?
  12. Welcome aboard ! Some of the members w/Daytonas will get with you on what the think is important to know and do to your bike. geno
  13. Never thought of it that way? Good thought....
  14. The early rock&roll that I like the most was the firstborn of folk,country,rock-a- billy, black gospel,blues,etc. and the best inspiration of all opression. No good music can be performed without some form of liberation. This is what I experienced with 60s rock. Everyone (musically) was doing their "own thing" and it worked. You heard an amalgam of music and zeitgeist that cannot be duplicated. Woodstock 99 proved that. Walt Whitman said "You can't go home again". This is never MORE true... The unfortunate result of some of this is that the peace loving hippies became the BMW driving,Brinks secuity cocooning pricks that hate everyone.Yuck! I didn't want to get on that tangent. Any how, I had a conversation a few years ago with Kermit from "Kermit's chairs" about Bob Dylan and started to listening to him (Dylan) with a more adult appreciation. This really opened my eyes about the content of some rock songs. Consider Steppenwolf's Monster,Suicide,America (yes that's the title).Much of their songs were about recognizing problems and changes hopefully for the better. I hope our kids understand "it doesn't have to be this way and you can change it".
  15. Pierre, Is this the same setup you have inquired about in your other posts? If so , you stated you sent it (the tach) off to Palo Alto and they reported it OK. Are you SURE there is not a wiring problem in the harness?
  16. I still wonder what my (our) parents thought while we were playing this music? Probably the same thoughts I have listening to my kids music?
  17. And a 75mm wide black foam pad from the front of the tank to the filler cap.
  18. I don't think these guys are up to a 40th anniversary tour. They could not duplicate the power they "transmitted"? These people made The Who look like a church quartet with stage fright...
  19. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E372fuerleM Do any of you remember this group? My cousins from Jackson, Mi. turned me on to them. This was a LONG time ago...I don't think they were ever on Ed Sullivan, David Cavett, Mike Douglas for obvious reasons...
  20. That's why I own an infra-red temp gun. I grew tired of screaming "F**K" after touching hot surfaces. When it warms up I will do this, Monday is supposed to start out in single digit temps. I don't think my bike will get out of the shop if it's that cold.
  21. Early 2003 had external pumps with later 2003 models having internal. Mine is a 2003 and it has an external pump. Why?
  22. My, how time flies? I realized my age when I read in ROLLING STONE a few issues back about the 20th anniversary of the Smashing Pumpkins. They had one song I cold tolerate and I forgot the title. It must be my age? I do remember this maxim "If it's too loud, you're too old". Give me The Who Live At Leeds, Allman Bros. at Fillmore, J Geils Band Full House or Grand Funk Live any day. I can't stop!!!!
  23. Aren't you a little old to be listening to this ?
