    Is this a good idea?

    Anyone hear of the “New Way Foreword” act? Chuy Garcia of Illinois has a sugarcoated cliff notes of the bill in circulation since November. How come we haven’t heard anything about this on the “main stream media”? Guess the public reaction to the “green new deal” wasn’t as warm as the left had...

    Los Angeles/Long Beach area help

    I have a kid in a bind out there. Not sure he wants the help, but I'm trying to get ahead of the game. Making bad choices. Took off without telling anyone. Wound up in Long Beach. Can't send money or travel tickets because his wallet was stolen, and I can't trust him right now. More than...

    I don't care who you are...

    That's funny right there. Insomnia isn't always a bad thing. https://youtu.be/xrkPe-9rM1Q :rofl_200: Why does she laugh when she says "responsibility"?

    another BIG reason to hate

    Shithead truck drivers. Aside from the fact they ride my ass in traffic, will block the highway for miles while passing, pull out of the truck stop right in front of me (at 4 am with NO cars behind me) then not be able to find 2nd gear, use the size of their semi to intimidate cars, not move...

    Jets or floats

    Freshened up my carbs this past winter. Floats were all set significantly higher than "stock". Set them up per the sticky for setting dry float levels. Now I'm running out of steam up high. Lowered the clips on the needles (stage 1) and I got most of my power back, but it's pulling from the...

    I'm teetering on the fence

    Been thinking about a second street bike for longer distance rides. Max gets rough after a couple hours, even with moreleys mid cut seat. Small tank, no storage and I'm really starting to want a windshield. Max looks best naked in my opinion. Presented the idea of another steed to my wife. She...

    Good camping in MI

    Looking to get the family out. Also looking at Kentucky, if anyone knows of any. Beach for swimming is a huge plus. Some hiking trails. Kids are 18, 14, 6 and 3. Just a couple days. Most state parks are booked for the holiday, so I'm putting my feelers out there for lesser known nice...

    Harley help....machinist?

    Friend has a "fat bob". Sportster with fatboy wheels and big wide.....dyna tank. Triples are cracking. Again. This is the first time this bike has been in my garage. Should be a 41mm fork. Or a 35, 39, 49 or fifty something. It's 43mm. No shit. Try and find a triple for a wide glide in 43mm...

    aim small, miss small

    Yes, I borrowed that line from American sniper. A coon has been getting my chickens. We usually lock them in at night, but they do get forgotten about from time to time. Saw the bandit dragging one up a tree. Last night momma spotted her on the back porch eating our mouser cat's food...

    trucker shot at in Chicago

    I was planning on writing a rant on this subject for some time now. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-northbound-lanes-on-i94-near-south-loop-partially-closed-after-shooting-20150317-story.html Why are so many truckers assholes? ! I'm sure Mr Driver didn't do...

    clamped too tight

    Po installed exhaust system. Tightened the clamps enough that they slightly bent the pipes out-of-round. Real bitch to get apart and put back together. Any suggestions for how I can straighten them out at home without damaging the coating? Just a bit of a dent, barely noticeable when they are...

    hd oiler fun

    John blaid was not kidding when he described the difficulty in the install of the new pump gear. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being most difficult, I rate it nearly impossible and bring a magician. This of course is with the engine still in the bike. Dropped the washer for the new gear by the snap...

    project pipe dream

    A thread was posted with a link to a guy that was on a dirt bike that jumped off a ski jump. He also rode it down a bobsled chute. In many of the shots the bike had 17s with sport bike tires. Supermotard or sumo for short. Several manufacturers make bikes like these that are plated for the...

    port matching

    Anybody have experience with cleaning up the ports in the heads and matching the intakes to the heads? Carbs are off for various reasons and installing Sean's hd oiler. Wouldn't be too much work or money to pull the heads and get the little grinder out. Question is, would it be worth it? I...

    front wheel floating

    I love the feel when the front end just floats about 4 inches above the ground. A quick "bump" between first and second and it's airborne again. I must admit I do not have the balls or skills needed to stand it way up, but the power wheelies just make me grin ear to ear. Wifey secretly enjoys...

    radial pressure

    I have radials on 17s. Is 35 front, 39 rear psi still correct? Any need to deviate from factory recommendations with radials?

    higher revs = lower volts?

    Soldered the crimp because I was at 12.3 volts at idle and not much better at 2500 rpm. After the fix, I am getting mid 13s at idle. Goes up to 14.6 at around 2200, then starts dropping steadily back to about 13v at 5k rpms. Is this right? The bike has a finned black rr, but it is a 4 wire shunt...
