You're telling us that Bush stooped to low to screw you and JPS both? Truly the man was desperate. I don't think JPS was involved. It was a manage-a-trois among her, Jessica, and the other guy. And we thought Clinton chose the bottom of the barrel for his interludes. |

Iran). Em says Which has nothing to do with Somali pirates, who are mostly fishermen and criminals. OBL for all his faults is well educated. A wise man observes Smells like you'd like to crawl in his filthy sack with him I don't think Tosk is evil. I think he's a moron and an asshole/stalker. Don't blame me... you brought him up. And you are a retarded bitch, so what? (Krowse, butting his head in, deleted) I think Tosk pretty much summed up who he is with his one line response. An excellent judge of character seems to be who he is. |

Now you'll have something to spend all that money on. What did you break in the engine? I somehow I dropped a screw down in the cylinder, found out as soon as it kicked over:( Hey, **** happens. We were going to use the cash to send the race bike to the builder for some extra "fun". It goes something like this.. Racer: How fast can you make it go? Engine Builder: As fast as you want, how much money do you want to spend? ... so, do we go fast, or get new uniforms this season? Guess I better get out the brush and the old pink motowash;), cause we do want it to go fast;) Just another setback, but "that's racin". We will be ready though, Jessi has been in the gym like a maniac over the winter and she is just about where we need to be mentally too... The racebike is just about ready for the builder, we are waiting for one part but it will be here in plenty of time. Anyway, wish us luck, this should be a transition year for us.. I can't imagine that, unless you had the head off. I broke a ring in my last Guzzi and had to replace piston, rings, cylinder, and the head. Did both sides. Parts cost right at $500, but that was in Germany and about 20 years ago. I learned a lot about motorcycle engines doing it. I was chasing a thread on the intake and in a hurry. After I ran a bolt through I somehow dropped it into the intake and I just don't know. I did have a chaser, and a small wrench in the hand as I turned away, and just never noticed the small "test" bolt was not there... I still can't believe it... Did it get into the cylinder, or caught by a valve? Did you start the engine after dropping the bolt? I guess you must've or the problem wouldn't be as big. |

Did it get into the cylinder, or caught by a valve? Did you start the engine after dropping the bolt? I guess you must've or the problem wouldn't be as big. I think it's jammed between the crank and the case. I "started" to start, but it only turned over a couple rpm's. It never got to speed so we might be ok. I am about done taking the engine out of the frame and I am gonna' pull the cylinder off, then my bud is gonna' come over and split the case for me and inspect for damage. Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. Worst case scenario I have to part the bike out, but at the same time, I would make a lot more for it if I did. The front forks and shock alone are worth about 600, it has a Bills pipe (400), and a pro-circuit rear suspension setup that is nearly 400 new from the factory.. Then there is the frame, tripleclamps, engine parts, clutch baskets. Option 3 is to shelf it and spend a few hundred over the summer to put it together and ride it again. I do love the bike after all.... Either way, I am gonna' learn how to split a case tonight so all is not lost. This will save me hundreds of dollars later in our adventure! Not to mention a re-learned hard lesson on working on bikes and being in a hurry... |

I hear stories about how the top notch racing team mechanics keep their work area scrupulously clean and well organized. We have several acquaintances that used to manage their own teams. Both of them claim to have had their engines torn down after every race, replaced critical components and inspected everything. I've also known several mechanics who work with a partner, someone who acts as a second pair of eyes and hands. |

Way back when, there was a boat dealer in New Haven, I don't remember the name of his business, but the dealer's name was Art Vreeland. His store was near the lighthouse in New Haven. Anyway, Art, a delightful guy and a friend of my dad's, was a first-rate mechanic, or so everyone said. I was too young to know. He sold Mercury outboards and Lyman runabouts. His shop was an absolute disaster. Every square inch of workbench space was covered with pieces, parts, tools, empty sodapop bottles, cigar butts, you name it, it was there. Yet, I remember my father saying that "Art could strip down one of those junky Mercs and rebuild it faster than anyone." At the time, my father was an Evinrude dealer and had a low opinion of Merc outboards. A decade later, he became a Merc dealer. I'll always remember my visits to Art's dealership. Art himself was a pretty colorful character, as were most of the dealers I met who got into the biz right after WW II. |
