  1. And that came with it's own acid kit as well... I was rather surprised as the last time I bought a bike battery was 15+ yrs. ago....for the same price!
  2. Just received a Yuasa battery yesterday for my 35y/o XT.....through Amazon, for only $30.
  3. Raining here all night.... but the little tree frogs that hang out under my house, seem to be liking it. When that rare tropical storm came in from the Pacific that hit the LA area last month....it headed NE & missed Portland, but dumped 6" of H2O in 36 hrs. here in Elgin ....surprisingly, it didn't cause any flooding or damage....it was so dry from August's heat blast, the ground just soaked it all up!
  4. Gonna be a warm one today....90F....but backs off again tomorrow Got a Ride in before 9am ...darn'd camera was dead, so my "old fart" flip-phone came through...
  5. We're gonna see 90F one more time tomorrow....& NO precipitation for another week 2-Wheelin' is definitely is in the cards
  6. Feeling old as my youngest adopted son turns 40 this Saturday....he's a PMC in Israel & his contract is up in November...gonna be great to know he's back home with his family...ANYwhere stateside. Couldn't be more proud of him!
  7. Have always liked the Brutale....bet this Beast with the Arrow exhaust makes some sweet Mechanical Music.
  8. TBH Pete, it's a pretty sharp looking bike. But then again, I'm fairly biased as I was spoon-fed on Honda twins by my old man. It looks like it does the job well...& is easy on the wallet.
  9. Back when I worked @ a bike shop, a particular customer who was tight with the owner came in for a new tire on his PC.... But before I could take a wrench to it, he proceeded to use up the rest of the old tire's life....right there in the parking lot....SmokeShow from HELL!! 'Twas quite obvious just where the bike shop was in that neighborhood...
  10. He's a helluva rider....It's awesome to see him looking happy.
  11. Sure do Pete... just gotta charge the battery & blow all the dust off it. It'll be great to hear that beast fire up... & show the hillbillies that live below me, what a Real thump sounds like. Also finally got the cylinder head on the XR repaired with a brand new stage1 cam from Hot Cams as well as a fresh set of rings....just dealing with aches & pains from bike wrecks & MRSA currently....so getting the lead outta my backside takes a bit longer than the old days. Gonna end up giving the XT to my brother down in Waco TX.....& the XR is going to my youngest boy down in NM...tentatively, gonna make those deliveries next spring.
  12. Plenty of work around here to keep this Redneck busy for awhile... Currently waiting for compensation for a Permit drawing set I did for a local guy here....amazing that I moved 300 miles away & drawing business still comes & finds me. (2) motorcycles to assemble....2nd truck needs a fuel pump....work bench is still waiting for me to assemble the drill press I have....then I can finish my Ski's! This weather we're experiencing right now....perfect for the never-ending yard work....but NOT before I get a Ride in.
  13. How can you tell if your house has been framed by a crew of lesbians?.... There's NO studs, it's all Tongue & Groove
  14. 165 miles to Emmett ID....where she's from.
  15. Going to Idaho for Christmas....gonna celebrate my wife's birthday as well, which is on the 21st.
  16. You guys should try bump starting a bike in the winter....used to do that EVERYday with my 550 Seca Electric starters are for pussies!
  17. GREAT to see Wayne back on the YZR.... Shame that Ed wasn't there...
  18. You'd never see me even attempt that activity....as I own NO cowboy boots...'cuz my "toeless" feet slide around in 'em too much. I'm now a Salomon advocate for life....it's all I own. I'm a SKIER!....not a line dancer....try to keep up Pete.
  19. I think I hear a flock of "Wa-Wah's" comin' this way...
  20. How do you tell if your house has been framed by a crew of lesbians?... There's NO studs....its all Tongue & Groove

    Good choice of background tunes.....
  22. Pete needs a nice Boat he does....

    Old sayings.

    "So broke ya can't afford to Pay Attention"....?
  24. Us bleedin' yanks need a passport just to enter Canada..... I can remember when that wasn't true....?
  25. Got a handful of favorites..... KR, Rainey, Lawson, Mamola, Martin, Dunlop(s).... But w/o a doubt, this guy is my hero..... Doug Henry was the 1st rider to ever win a Supercross event on a 4-stroke...which eventually led to the type of racing machines we see today in the MX & SX realms. He broke his back in an outdoor event which landed him in a chair. It didn't stop him.... he built the cage-bike & even did backflips with it while riding with Pastrana a time or 2. He also races in Snowcross events on a YamaSled in the off season. Nowadays, he's all about Adaptive Riders with that never-ending smile on his face....??
