Stopped by to wish you a Happy Birthday.

Yeah, I'm still on here until december, when my membership runs out. I'm not going to renew, I hate the new layout and it kills what community there was left here, so on to greener pastures.

This stuff happened like a month ago, but I've been... preoccupied, and haven't taken the opportunity to share this (or anything else) with you, my faithful SG friends.

My imaginary friends came to life! And they're made of meat!

So I'm in this motorcycle cult, and they've been after me for years to make it out to a gathering. I've always had to beg...

My side of an earlier IM conversation:

I love my bike!
I feel like Superman when I'm on that thing in traffic
like I have special powers
running along with the revs steady at about 5 or 6 grand, and then nail it to merge with traffic and it sings so beautifully!
I can really tell a difference since I ported and polished the head...

Aw man, self-injection = do not want. Unless it's easy like insulin. Good luck.

Jeje... yep, I think i'll take her up on that ;-).
Scooters exist in the US!? I thought they belonged only to Italy and Brighton, jejeje!
Soo.. what's been happening? Tell me more!
For my part.. I was back in Barcelona for two weeks at the language school again last month.
Passed exams and stuff in Spanish. Woot.
And of course... yay for co-eds. Especially the 18-year old Boston girls.
I got a girl from Berlin now back here in the UK. 23. Let's see how that goes.....
Spk soon bud!

wheezy_e:
my cousin has this super neighbor named George. I'd guess him in his early 70's, but it's hard to tell for sure, he's hyper, kinda ADD. He just bought a mint police KZ1000, i rode it around yesterday to check it out for him. Those things are soooo smooth. after the police it only had 1 owner who put 1000 miles on it in however many years he had it, 10 maybe. chain (dry, filthy with stiff links) is soaking in diesel right now, it has a master link do you know if that's normal? I'm going to look for a press-on replacement. He had already taken it in for carb cleaning & oil change. valves aren't due for 10K miles & are quiet. (I assume the police had done the maintenance by the book schedule) 48K miles on it now. anything in particular I should look for? seems 100% solid to me.

fingers crossed, fellow should be coming up from lake havasu to pick up the r1 on saturday. I can pay off the credit cards i've been eating/paying bills on & have some mortgage payments in the bank. talked to a kid (22yrs old) on an rd350 about one of the RZ's...
wheezy_e:
the chain cleaned up beautifully, it's in fine shape. Nobody in town has a rivet 630 (in case the cops take to doing wheelies or towing cars?) master link so I've got one on order. It had a clip style, they always worry me. plus it was missing 3 of it's o-rings. I did write down KZrider.com inside the cover of his shop manual, but I kinda doubt he'll make use of it, no maintenance records in the manual.

I asked the fellow how much he paid, he said he has a thousand in the bike including the carb rebuild/oil change & that bill was $600. He got a smoking deal on this thing!

I've got my nieces learning how to play this, it's a learning tool to teach them how to play keyboards. Plus it's a cool song and video.

I don't know who that wolf is in the breakdown, but I like his style!

Shame they got the quote wrong. That's Nietzsche, not Twain!

I'm not sure how much I like that song, but the riffage is immense.

When I heard he had passed away I thought about you, I knew you would say something, it is so very sad that he is gone, Im glad he got to live to be 94, but it would have been cool if he could have been with us for another 10 years.
mydogfarted:
He lived right up the road from us. My dad's late 60's/early 70's Les Paul Custom Bass is still one of the most beautiful instruments he owns.

I did have an exit plan, but that got swiped out from under me yesterday. However, I did meet a nice guy who has offered his couch and will allow my dog, even though his apartment complex wont. So, I think things are going to be ok. I went to an SG event and met a few people, so I'm now a part of SGLA! woohoo! and this little place I'm in is pretty nice. Has it's fair share of negative aspects, but there are quite a few people working on turning this place around. It actually reminds me of Cars, for some reason.

I actually haven't, but I haven't noticed any problems either. I don't have anything to do today, and I'm 100% certain you know more about motors than I, so I'll probably go check it out.

Hmmm, where to start...

I got a little beer buzz going, I went to see some friends from Texas play tonight, Two Tons of Steel. I rode my motorcycle to OKC to watch them, and I really enjoyed the ride, I haven't been up on two lately. It was really great to see those guys, I used to hang out with them, and we...

I envy guitar techs... They get to be the first guys done on a strike and they're the the ones who get the second best girls and bus bunks...
