Yo...IVG, I would guess it ends somewhere <I>before</I> 40. You don't see many people playing pro football much beyond 35.<BR/><BR/>Solar, it's a dirt bike pretending to be a street bike. Keeping it clean would only give it a complex. :-)<BR/><BR/>Boran, I hope not too.<BR/><BR/>Yooper, I've seen that done.

Yup, using the front brake on loose gravel, bad idea! ha! ha! Remember the old early 70's Java's? When I was a kid, I raced a 500cc one banger, flat tracker (no brakes) a couple times, once at the Silverdome, when it first opened. Heh! heh! Used to lay 'em down into a 60 mph powerslides! ha! I wouldn't be doing that anymore......<BR/><BR/>Flushed the tank out a couple times on the Yamahopper, using that gas to clean the motor, drive shaft and any area that was oiled up. ha! Freed up the back brake line. Carb lines still froze up in places, maybe it'll be cheaper just to replace new lines especially if a new carb has to go on anyway..<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing about $300 at the dealership, then I'll have to button it up(secure elec. lines, cables, mounts etc.), then I'll be on my way! heh! I won't be worrying about 60 mph poweslides with it! ha! Just about getting runned over!!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, <BR/>yooperyooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297259993402713368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-63593455643766128732008-07-13T20:04:00.000-04:002008-07-13T20:04:00.000-04:00Hay, 50 year olds are pretty tough.

But as always, you can make anything into an adventure (viz: the fly in the milk cooler) ... I just hope your pal Jimmy didn't sustain any long term effects from the fall. Nope, that get up, dust me off crap goes by the wayside (so to speak) after 40 as far as I'm concerned!Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-74296333506480595352008-07-13T00:06:00.000-04:002008-07-13T00:06:00.000-04:00Oh, good!
