hobospyder Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I think I need to actually make my way to a shop one of these days and pick up some random shot some time Quote Link to comment
a.d._510_n_ok Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 There is so much metal in me they could haul me in for scrap when I croak. My friend sonny just had this very thing done last year around this time. He feels great compared to how it used to bug him and cause all kinds of headaches. Hope it goes as good for you. man, that's what I keep hearing, smoke! pain for a little while but the long term pay-off is worth it. I am to the point to where my neck no longer turn. I gotta swivel my whole upper bod to look left or right. the idea of titanium screws being torqued into my spine kinda made my butthole pucker up and suck buttermilk but if it'll stop the pain I gotta do it.

a.d._510_n_ok Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 i swore off estate and garage sales for a few years but I stopped at one today because I used to live at the house about 20 years ago. I passed on this: vintage electric Huffy Mower with a Delco-Remy motor for $15. this crap came home with me tho: all this stuff + a buttload of other crap came so stupidly cheap I couldn't pass it up. 3 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Carter Thermo Quad Used on '71 Dodges and a few others. I had a '70 Dart and the carter would heat soak. The next year saw the Thermo Quad with cooler running phenolic plastic body. Nice. The Holey, (dual pumper?) I don't know much about. It has the front a rear mount floats that are unaffected by gas sloshing to the sides on hard corners. 1 Quote Link to comment

VFR800 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 This was sent to me by a friend holidaying recently on North Stradbroke Island , with the statement “our furry friends never cease to surprise me”. Fair walk along Flinders Beach on North-West side of Straddie a couple of days ago. Koalas seem fairly tame over here. Passed two sitting in she-oaks each about 2M off the ground. Not spooked at all by the attention. Then, about half way along the beach we saw this young fellow actually running up and down the beach, and playing around the kids like a puppy Then the little chap went about 20m into the sea, swam around for a good half hour fascinating onlookers, before coming back to the beach. Where he was interrogated by Constable Brian, and then released without charge. The little chap took a while to recover from his swim. We have never heard of or seen this behaviour before: a koala who likes to "play" with humans, and swim in the ocean. 4 Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Wow, as I read that (before I saw the pictures) I thought it was going to be a joke. That is how you WANT those little fuckers to be, but from my experience...NOT at all. 1 Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yesterday was perfect in my area, today is gray and gloomy as hell. Little drizzle here and there, no more riding for me this year I think. Sad day Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Na, it's supposed to get back up into the 80s and 90s later in the week. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Wow......no posts for 2 days??!! :yawn: I blame that on An Unapology and An open apology... 3 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Na, it's supposed to get back up into the 80s and 90s later in the week.I saw that yesterday when I checked the forecast, though it was more 70-75 for us up north of Seattle. Will see how it looks tomorrow, I'm hoping to get a few more rides in but it's time to put a tether on my battery for winter. Trying to get my blue bike back together and hopefully I'll have them both for next season Quote Link to comment
