Frenchbob Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Put nothing out. Put Serge the cock back IN [work it out yourselves, please], had slight feelings of guilt when I saw what the rain had done to the Armstrong through the cracks in the barn door and feelings of deep concern when I saw how little cut wood I have left. Tomorrow: wood foraging in the rain - great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest redguzziv10 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 today i .... looked at the weather report. Forecast was rain late this afternoon, so i risked going to work on the bike... halfway there, it rained then got accused of being a gypsy for rummaging through the skip belonging to the local car repair shop ( for an empty oil canister, for an oil change, you understand!)

belfastguzzi Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Today (actually yesterday by about 10 minutes) I got a new old motorbike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slug Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Today I spent eight hours sitting in front of a computer, re-re-re-inventing the wheel with full knowledge that the wheel that I'm re-re-re-inventing will need to be re-re-re-re-invented half an hour after I've finished re-re-re-inventing it in the language that it should have been re-re-re-invented in this time around. Oh yeah, I also forgot to put the cover sheet on the TPS report. Spring can't come soon enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I'm at the hangar today, test fying a Bell 214B. Nothing unusual, just standard procedure after any work is done to the flight control system. In between flights I am checking on the Daytona 200 race on the internet. I see the Buell of Jeremy McWilliams is currently in 9th and Erion Honda intends to protest the Buells after the race. I'm also troubling shooting a few snags on my new truck. My wife had a little drama about 3 weeks ago with my old truck and it ended up not passing the unusual attitudes test so I had to find a new one. I came across a 2001 Chevy Silverado with a Duramax diesel for a very low price. It was repo-ed last September and the towing yard bought it out cheap and sold it to me. I spent quite a lot of money on the engine because of the contaminated fuel (long story - involves drug dealing and the dent in the side of the box but I don't even want to know) so 8 new injectors and a fuel pressure regulator later I have a really nice truck. Leather seats and almost every option (it only has regular air conditioning - not climate control) and a couple of electrical snags from sitting for 5 monthes and now I have a great truck. One more snag to go. The electrically heated seats only works on the drivers side and my wife is not happy about that so I must get that taken care of today. I hope to get over to the Guzzi shop later today if only so I can disrupt their day. I've buzzed the shop 3 times already this morning so they will be expecting me. That is the best part about test flying on weekends - the victory lap!! When all has checked out I usually wick it up to about 150 kts (173 mph) and make a low pass by the hangar. The boss figures the boost in moral is well worth any complaints from the neighbours!! Cheers!! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Miguel DuHamel crashed while leading Daytona 200 but is still riding but back in 4th!! Bell 214B still has excessive lateral vibration in main rotor but is expected to be down to less than 0.2 ips in another 2 runs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 The vibration checks are all completed for the 214 now but the auto revs still need adjusting. We also installed a new flux valve (there really is a flux valve) and that checks out so far but next is a visit to the compass rose. Then its collective in the armpit at ought feet to make the windows shake and the beer foam at Friendly Mikes Pub next to the hangar!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Test flights completed!! Flux valve needs to be adjusted 6 degrees to negative and charging voltage needs to be increased by 1.2 volts. Power check is +1.5% for the gas producer and +35 degrees for the EGT. Beer foamed up about 1.3 inches at Mikes and Natalies breasts verified the vibration checks (darn - I like it when they verify the vibration is too high). Protests are flying about at Daytona and results are termed provisional as the AMA seems to have screwed up big time with the pace car. Buell not a factor .... Now it is time to go to the Guzzi shop. My day will soon be complete!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfastguzzi Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 What did you get, Belfast? An older Guzzi? 81798[/snapback] Do I get a(nother) quiz point if I give the correct answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
