A thread 14 deep in one day over face shield cleaning. Can this group
get any more superficial? Meanwhile, Saddle posts an on bike video and
gets less than half dozen responses. Wake up people, is this a riders
group or just for garage queens and poseurs?
Holly, Beth, Demitrios, Larry X, Kbearjr & Dan Carter. take your
digital still camera's with you next time you actually ride and share
some of your experiences with the group;)
And per Christ sakes. Anyone who can't find the drain plug on an
SV-650 doesn't deserve to ride a motorcycle!

I tend to agree with that in general (I haven't looked myself, so I'll
take it for granted that it's not some really weird thing). IIRC, the
T-5 tranny in Mustangs had a drain plug that looked nearly identical
to some bolt that basically held half of the internal linkages together, and
repairing those trannys is a big sideline for some companies:)

here's one for less than a buck! (plus shipping, of course!)
digital cameras.. are the best! i can't tell you how many pictures we
have!
we recently purchased a crazy-ass slr digital camera (it's in the mail...)
because steve has a newfound interest in an old hobby....astrophotography.
pictures are a great thing....

Hell ya Bob...You did better than that with the pics from your
colonoscopy.. (which I loved btw... and Bob... look, I had similar
problems. A combination enzyme worked wonders but two a day was too much...
I cut to one a day...now two a week and all is wonderful...we loose
digestive enzymes as we age. )\ The healing has been wonderful. The
purple pill does not provide the enzymes just blocks the acid...Ok but a
very limited fix. try adding the enzmes.
and Bob... what is that round glass thing on the side of my motor...it looks
like a mini round TV but nothing ever happens in there.

What it called, Phil? And the purple pill is Nexium, Right? I've been
taking them for about 2 years. $100, me $30 co-pay. I've been thinking
of changing to Prilosec.

"Garage queens and poseurs"? You may think the group is superficial,
but I can guarantee you people would benefit more from a post about
cleaning their face sheilds, than they would from a post bitching
about the group.
Go take one of your bikes out, take some pictures, come back and show
them, and then maybe it would make sence for you to ask for people to
do the same. Untill then stop complaining. >> Stay informed about: Congrats AMSers: faceshield cleaning, trivial thread of th.. |
