    Bacon!

    Just look how thick the bacon we buy here is sliced. I asked if they could slice some a little thinner so that I could get it to crisp up like Harley 1-5 cooked for us while we were staying with him. I was informed that it was pre sliced and they would not be able to get me any thinner cut.

    WD 40 the pros and cons.

    If you have an object needing re-lubrication, check to see what sort it presently has before using WD-40. The reason? If the joint or metal part in question is presently lubricated with grease of any sort (white lithium, axle, copper, etc.) then you may be shooting yourself in the foot by using...

    Fumble fisted old fart, fails.

    While fitting a case saver, this silly old fart slipped with the driver and broke off the lug which retains the clutch actuator return spring. A small hole and a short bit of soft wire saved the day!

    Octane rating

    Food for thought. Was talking to a guy who is having trouble tuning a carb using race gas. What are your thoughts on the following about race gas. Does changing from 89 octane to a higher rated fuel require float level settings to be re visited? http://southernracingfuel.com/?page_id=347...

    Beer

    With a trip to the US planned in the very near future I thought it would be a good idea to sample some American beer. With the change in my taste sensations since the stroke I suffered, I have found the taste of beer to be less than pleasant. I picked up a carton of Budweiser at the local...

    Crows foot tension conversion

    A very handy bit of information. As you see I fabricated my own extension to tension up the Blaster cylinder nuts, just welded an old 1/2 drive socket to the middle of a 12mm combination wrench. Instead of pulling down to 18 ft lbs I pull to 16 to allow for the extra leverage. A very useful...

The engine is stock and is a 05 model, it is original and has had numerous hours of hard riding, too many to remember. It has been running either Maxima 927 or Castrol R30 depending on...

    Bug Scooter

    Put a new pipe on my Adly Bug Jive the other day, removed the air box, put a foam filter directly on the carb throat. Was running a #75 main, had to increase it to a ninety to get it to run right.
