Drum Roll Please.................................
« on: February 16, 2010, 11:37:07 AM »
OK guys, this is the REAL deal. One of our famous members that is always helping us out is about to be the first to reach 10,000, yes 10,000, posts. We all owe this fine gentleman a gracious thank you. I'd like to be the first to do so. he's always there for us. Can you guess who this might be without looking?

hint - no it's not Bill but he's gaining ground fast.

Thank you TT for all your sharing. I'm in awe of your knowledge and your willingness to help.

Maybe there should be some sort of formal recognition when a member passes the 10K mark? You know, an "Oscar" or some such.

TwoTired always answers with thorough detail beyond the scope of manuals.  I'm wondering if he is an engineer of some sort.  Great job.

Thanks Two Tired for all the stuff Ive found here too. My 75 550k was an original owner bike that hadnt had a real tuneup since he bought it new.It was still running but poorly.Thanks to his realistic approach to trouble shooting that bike runs like a top and I also  brought back a 350f from the (I dunno? grave) !  Thanks TT.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Yes, as everyone has figured it out, it is our own, Mr Electric, Lloyd TT Two Tired, Always Lending A Hand.

A big heartfelt thanks from me TT. You've helped me on more than 1 occasion to figure out the electricals in spite of myself.

Here's to the next 10,000! May they be the best ever.
