Ahh...Great news.. images/icons/grin.gif You were right..

glad the ol girl is up and running..wanna play hookie on Thurs..and go for a ride with me and Larry..? images/icons/grin.gif

I would go with you guys, but I am play hookie tomarrow (wednesday) to ride the dirtbike at the track. Private rental, so there will be no more the 20 people... images/icons/smile.gif Great way to have a good time on the track...

But this weekend... images/icons/smile.gif It is on...

Saturday I am doing a set of fork springs for someone at about noon. I hope to be done in time to get a ride in... I am thinking Bouquet again... images/icons/tongue.gif

Anyhow. I dont know if you have plans this Saturday but you are welcome to come up if you like. I was thinking about ridding in the morning and then doing the forks, and go for one more ride if I can.

images/icons/confused.gif </td></tr></table></td></tr></table></BLOCKQUOTE>I would get a new one... TRUST ME, the 100 bucks they ask for it (I got mine for less) . It cost me a extra 600 bucks in parts to fix everything else that got jacked from it...

I FOUND the chain broken when i opened the valve cover to adjust the chain... I saw the wear marks on the guide... That is when I knew....
