    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    went for a 50 mile ride with my new progressive 444 13" shocks. they seem a little firm having set the sag at 1" per their instructions. I got standard springs not the hd type since I weigh 155 lbs. I'll try backing off the springs 1/4 turn at a time to see if that takes some of the firmness...

    Rot In Hell, Charlie!

    A fella I know lived in California back in the day and his mother was on the parole board and had the pleasure of sitting in the room with Charlie and refusing his parole. Probably kind of scary being there but the peace of mind in doing the right thing had to be worth it. I read in later...

    What did you do to your Vmax today? Part 2

    did a full shotgun clean on the carbs and now on to figuring out what's up with my programmable vboost controller. seems to have a mind of it's own. I went through all the switches toggled them on and off and reset to the highest rpm's and it comes on any time it wants. at idle, 4500 rpm's etc...

    Boy did I get screwed

    bought a truck with a lien on it once. went to the credit union where he banked, paid THEM the $$$$ and walked out with the title in hand. just a thought for future purchases. hope this plays out well for you soon. later, bill

    Dangerous jobs

    Chacha was definitely pissed after getting the dart. I was amazed at how well he hung on after the drugs kicked in. here's the video... http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/15/world/asia/video-chimp-escapes-japan-zoo-falls.html?_r=0 later, bill

    How many people were influenced?

    Oh yea. My buddies and I did the same. the best was watching a neighbor kid doing a jump on his "english racer" Raleigh 3 speed. landed on the front wheel vertically, hit the front brakes and slammed to the ground with the bike on top of him. :rofl_200: He wasn't liked much back then (kind of a...

    Oil level myth

    my programmable v boost controller came with a LED so I installed it next to my tach. now when the boost kicks in or cycles on start up the tach lights up blue, hard to see in the daylight but otherwise looks great. later, bill

    Interesting comparison

    "After our first rides, we all came back mumbling to ourselves as if we'd just crawled out of a plane crash." Not me... All I could say is "where do I sign..." and I'm still riding that bike (#874) today. It was the first max in my towns dealership and I'm sure there were many others that took...

    3D printer

    I seen a magazine at work that had a story on DMSL Direct Metal Laser Sintering. I believe this is the company the story was about. https://www.stratasysdirect.com/blog/how-its-made-3d-printed-1911-pistol/ If they can do this, things will get better / stronger as technology improves. later, bill

    Chicago shooting

    I heard the kid was high on PCP. In checking into that I found this... The autopsy showed that McDonald was hit 16 times, including in the chest, neck, back, arms and leg. It also showed that McDonald had PCP in his system at the time of the shooting, but a city alderman said that shouldn’t...

    Voltmeter

    Bill, you are absolutely correct. I put my meter on when fighting voltage issues. I did all the usual cures (updated yamaha r/r with the hardwired connections, high output stator hardwired, cleaned all switches, new battery and topped it all off with these). I just kept falling short of proper...
