Yesterday actually. Dropped in a re-built 836cc, successfully broke it in and realized 147.7 main jets are probably WAY to big. :O)

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Well I would but she already picked up an air compressor and a few other shop items I have been needing. That reminds me, I should probably tell her she has done x-mas shopping for me already.. ;)

I've just about finished the K2 build from a bare frame and bare set of engine cases. It's not a show bike, just a neat daily rider that I've been building for a young guy who specifically asked for a stock K2, and also that I paint it blue. I've never owned a blue 750, but I quite like this one! Cheers, Terry. ;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?"
