a festivus miracle has happened tonight
« on: December 23, 2011, 05:16:29 PM »
well after 4 years of sitting in a dark damp secluded garage. she has awoken from her deep hibernation. though she is a little confused as to whats going on she has shown me signs of life my 75 cb750 santee savior chopper.the carbs are leaking like a sieve.it wanted to start it kicked over and sparked for about 3-5 seconds the most it has done in 4 years.thanks to Xnavylfr(CHUCK) for the help. all the problem i had as to why it wouldn't fire was a ground issue.now to start taking it apart for the makeover.

My wife and I try to keep the festivus spirit all year long by airing our grievances on a daily basis. ;D

I have been holding on to some doozies for the airing of grievances- let's clear the air- once and for all!!!

I loved them all, but The Bubble Boy was my favorite........ Good news that your chop is showing signs of life mate, but remember, post pics or it didn't happen! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Glad to hear you are back at it James. I hear the neighborhood drag strip closed. Wish I had made it there at least once. At east I rode past with you guys on my 750 last spring.

In here the black haired cooter  that convicted OJ replaced miss piggie that made her notoriety off of the Florida kiddie dumped in the swamp.

Can't keep track  of the court shows much, the stuff annoys me and is a mimic of the real courts of US. A corrupt bastard bunch here , but why do they call them kangaroos?

Dave? Terry?

if they called them a kangapottamus it would sound ridiculous,,besides that i believe kangaroo is the proper aboriginal name or word for these great animals/targets/automobile radiator destroyers,i believe more kangaroos have soaked up the old 303 slug than germans post war than during ww one and two combined?i hope not to offend anyone with this post,any complaints will see it removed.

I love Kangaroos Dave! They taste like a cross between Koala and Platypus........  ;)

The "Kangaroo Court" thing appears to be an Americanism, according to Wiki:

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
