  1. Unbelievable! 3 days to San Francisco?? DeJoy's slow the mail down plan failed on that one.. As soon as Ken PMs me his address there will be one left.

    G5 bucking

    Now it sounds electrical. Weak ignition will only fire a closely gapped spark plug or a very rich mixture. I would look there next. If you still have the old condensers, they are most likely better than new ones.
  3. Alrighty, now.. they are winging your way as we type. I've sent a PM or email to all. Please excuse the stilted language, I just copied and pasted the message and changed the amount as necessary. Thanks to all that have participated in this last run of shifter extenders. I know, I've said that before, but these are the best of the lot, IMHO. Rare and highly collectible, of course. Back to work on the airplane project..
  4. Update: All the Lucky Phil Shifter Extenders are packed and labeled. Still need to fill out customs declarations in triplicate, and the mailing department will take them to the post office. Once she gets the exact mailing cost, no fondling charge.. I'll PM each of you with the total. Whew! Kind of reminds me of work..
  5. It was just pay back to the community for all it does for V11S.
  6. For those that have been patiently waiting.. I haven't forgotten. Finished up machining and forming today, and have them in the parts washer. Still need to bead blast and powder coat. As one of our members says, though.. Comma but. I have one or two days left on the wing that is in the shop, and it has to be moved out before I can move the Ancient Airlines High Tech Powder Coater Oven (tm) in. We'll most likely ship early next week assuming the shipping department doesn't drop the ball.
  7. I'm building this thing for something to do. It has been enjoyable and has given me something to do.
  8. Material is still at the water jet shop. No matter.. I'm covering wings right now.
  9. Yeah, my sweetie loves art deco. When we built our house she was the "designer" and I was the "making it happen" person. Here are our bookends on the coffee table books area.. When she was out in SoCal, I found and pulled wires, put a new switch in, put a new socket in, found the bulbs, did some paint work, etc. for her birthday. I think is is more Jetsons than Art deco.. but she loves it, and so do I.
  10. When The Kid got his first Guzzi, he called Gordon at MGcycles to get an oil temperature gauge that fit in the dipstick hole. Gordon said, " I know you are an aircraft mechanic and can see why you would want one. I'll sell you one, but you won't like what you see sometimes, and then what are you going to do about it?" "Good point, Gordon.. never mind."
  11. ^^^^^I got hit on the foot/ankle by a rubber gator one time. My first thought was "Wish I was wearin' flip flops instead of these Sidis.."
  12. Hmm, I could use a few more..
  13. Thanks for the tale.. a memorable trip for sure.
  14. No need to pay me for fat fingering the order, but if you *want* another I'll put a 3 beside your name instead of 2.
  15. Ok, Tim.. you are on the list, and I have your address.
  16. Received the chrome moly today, and thought, "man.. that's heavier than I would expect." Sure enough, I fat fingered the order and got 2 pieces instead of one. That should be a lifetime supply of shifter extender stock.. At any rate, this run is officially on. I'll take material and a .dxf file to the water jet shop tomorrow.
  17. Expensive and worth it from a Honda dealer on ebay..I won't be without it after using it.
  18. I've gotta think something is unhooked.
  19. @Cold Desert Rat hasn't replied yet.
  20. All I have are names and addresses.. [chuck/docc edits: names converted to usernames]: BramF Speedfrog (2) Kane Skip FuelCooler Aldo Tomchri (2) Arveno that is 10 and enough to get the ball rolling. I'm in the middle of getting an order for materials and parts for the airplane project, and will order the steel at the same time.
  21. I have six addresses so far.
  22. Skip is number 5. All you others that said you want one and haven't sent me your address.. you snooze you lose.
