    Speak Irish

    Hey all. I know we have some Brothers here from Ireland & the UK. The wife & I are traveling to Ireland the first 2 weeks of June this year. She studies books on Irish culture a couple hours a day. I'm not much on books, but I'm going to be a sport & go along & have a great time. :biglaugh...

    Ethanol lawsuit

    I like the idea that they're fighting against more ethanol, but what do you think their chances are ? http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_EPA_ETHANOL?SITE=FLPET&SECTION=HOME

    Main jet size

    Does anybody have a Vmax carb apart ? I'm tying to find the head diameter of the main fuel jet. It's either 6mm or 8mm - I'm thinking it's probably 8. I'm looking at jets on this website : http://www.pjmotorsports.com/mikuni-jets.html The paj2 is jet part number N102/221 with the 6mm...

    Bass Tournament

    Wish me luck - I'm in a bass tourney tomorrow am. My neighbor & I in my canoe vs lots of rich guys in their million dollar bass boats. It's in Lake Tarpon - one of the top 10 bass lakes in FL. No huge prize at stake - a plaque & braggin' rights. It's mostly a fundraiser for cancer, but I'm still...

    AGV = junk ?

    Anybody having any issues with AGV helmets ? I bought a Stinger model for my wife a few years ago & it was fine until this past week. As I handed it to her I noticed a piece of foam, so I blew it out. Then another. Then another. Then I pulled the top liner out, & the foam is just rotting from...

    Alcohol Testing

    I just received my test kit today. http://www.fuel-testers.com/product_gas_alcohol.html The first thing I did was to sample the fuel that's currently in my bike - came from 7-11 & measured about 7% alcohol. I then went to a local gas station in Tarpon Springs that advertises "No Alcohol" &...

    Champion = Best Spark Plug

    OK - I've always been an NGK guy since the late 70's when my Kawi dirt bike wouldn't run on anything else, but this past week I've had a change of heart. A month or two ago I went through my carbs & replaced an air cut-off valve (thanks Mark) & did a thorough cleaning - the 'MAX ran AWESOME, but...

    New tool - Float scale...

    Check out this new tool I got - a digital scale. I originally wanted to weigh my floats, but I haven't had a float scale in years & the new digi-stuff is way more accurate & easier to come by as well. I got this scale with free shipping all the way from Hong Kong to Palm Harlem for only 10 bucks...

    On Any Sunday - HULU

    I've been hearing for years that "On Any Sunday" is a great motorcycle movie, but I've never run across it at any of the local rental places or bothered to mail-order it. I just stumbled into this link on a local biker forum & now I can watch this movie on my computer whenever I want to...

    Holeshot/Muzzy fan blade

    Are these fan blades the same thing? Is anybody running one of these? I found an old post here stating they are heavier & acually flow less air than stock. I know the factory plastic blade has 7 fins compared to only 6 on these aftermarket blades, so perhaps stock really is better. I'm not...

    Holeshot a Lincoln

    I was out for a sunset cruise tonight, the roads had just dried up from a day full of rain. I blew past a pack of cars after the 'Max warmed up & I came up to e red light at Belcher & Tampa Road - the heart of Palm Harlem. As I'm sitting there, an old white Lincoln with all the windows down...

    Mexican Police Bike

    My wife & I just back-packed from Cancun down the Yucatan to about half-way through Belize to celebrate our 25th anniversary. While we were in Tulum there was this cop on a Suzuki Blvd C50 that OWNED the streets. For 3 days we saw this guy pull over dozens of vehicles & rake in some serious...

    Union or not ?

    Anybody here a union member ? I was born & raised in western NY state & couldn't buy my way into a union job even with family members on the inside - lots of politics involved. So I moved to FL in '86 & in '99 I got hired by GTE (now Verizon) & am a member in good standing of the IBEW. Go...
