About them cookies the trip here seemed to do no harm to them, but then they did not have to be handled by customs and immigrations, so yours just might not make it......they are really good with a nice hot cup of tea on a cold night.
49 thank your wonderful missus for the treats.......

- May 18, 2015, 21:10:14 PMYa know, it occurred to me, if i remember correctly, or own John Hopkins was riding a V-max when he did his tour for his book. I believe it was a 1988, if I remember.
I was extremely honored to get a copy of the book from his daughter, it just showed up.

- May 17, 2015, 16:00:02 PMSoooo, today I went over to the guy's house with the carbs, and helped him change the starter clutch. The bike has been siting since 2012, so it really needs some TLC. He had a puller he bought at a local auto parts place and couldn't get the alt. rotor off with it. We got serious and broke the puller in two. I went home and got my G.M. real thing professional quality puller and we had the rotor off in about 5 mins. The roller clutch was cracked exactly where the picture he got from the internet said it would be. We put it back together, dumped the "oil" and installed the carb. assy. New gas, anew oil and freshly reman carbs...The thing fired up instantly, just like it had only been sitting over night. I hadn't heard one of these run in a while...forgot how crappy they sound. Nice smooth idle @ 1,000 rpm, jazz the throttle, and the thing just jumps....but it sounds like ....$#!+!
