I agree with Kaneman....there is only so much motorcycle talk to be had. Is it really that aweful that we talk about other stuff? If we don't have any moto related stuff to talk about, why is it wrong for us to talk about other things to keep the board busy?

My dad and I are going to be heading up to Missouri in September to pick up a couple of neglected bikes from my in laws.

Once we get those, I plan on buying a manual for one of them(late 70s Honda CB 550 4) and tinkering and messing and working until I figure the damn thing out. If I remember to, I'll start a progress thread like what Dave has on his old Honda.

The other one is just for fun because it's so rare. It's like a late 60s Bridgestone 175. It's in sad shape, but we want it anyway because we don't know another soul who has one.

I almost did a picture how to for my plug/patch.

But, the majority of people think its akin to raping puppies, so I didn't do it.

I rode my VFR's front tire all the way down to the wear bars (never dont that before) and today Im planning on getting some new rubber put on but Id dont think anybody cares about that. Id rather talk about how the government is using swine flu to kill off the elderly.

I just swapped out the front on the futura before it go tot that point. Got to finally use my no mar changer. All went well aside from crushing a finger between the rim and the bar that releases the tire from the unit.

I think "Street" isn't that great of a name.........Should be something like "General Discussion" or "General Riding" instead

Riding street is boring, go to the track.
