That carpet came out of an old beauty shop- I thought it looked kinda psychedelicI was thinking it deserved an award for best use of ugly red carpet, mystery fluid leaks could only improve it.

I learned a trick. You are supposed to slowly rotate the crank and line the mark up in the sight glass or it would break a leg.I had an SR500 for a time- it had virtually the same motor as the TT500 and XT500. It was really hard to kickstart.

Yeah I knew about the mark, but it was still very hard to kick over. No compression release on the SR. My '75 DT400 had an automatic compression release that worked greatI learned a trick. You are supposed to slowly rotate the crank and line the mark up in the sight glass or it would break a leg.
I wouldn't line it up. I would just pull in the compression release and kick start it and let go about 3/4 of the way through the kick.
I wish I would've kept the tt500. It was a good bike. Dangerous but good.Yeah I knew about the mark, but it was still very hard to kick over. No compression release on the SR. My '75 DT400 had an automatic compression release that worked great
Right out of high school myself and 2 friends rented an old circa 1900 beater house( discount rent to fix it up). One friends dad owned a nice restaurant and was remodeling it. We got the old red/purple carpet. By the time we were done the living and dining rooms looked like a FrenchThat carpet came out of an old beauty shop- I thought it looked kinda psychedelic
Used to have a 72? it 400 bored 80 over huge back sprocket. It was for setuo desert racing.I wish I would've kept the tt500. It was a good bike. Dangerous but good.
I don't see a Harley so probably never.
I kid I kid...I've had an FXR for years and it doesn't leak or rattle.
I'll bet you'll be leaky too when you're 70+ yrs old, lol.My knucklehead leaked well, a lot.
Same here, pounding shit into the pavement over the miles really helps and if nothing else you sleep better.I cant say I share that theory other than more exercise is always good
Nothing, and I mean nothing, not cannabis, not pills, nothing has ever centered my soul and recharged my batteries like a good long ride all by myself...even given the horrible past event my family is working through.
I woulda loved to been a fly on that backrest.I almost accidentally came in my own mouth when I was 16.. I was jacking off on a leather recliner and i came so hard that it shot past my head and hit the backrest . It was like 6 inches away from being a cumshot.
We were throwing empty aerosol cans in a 55 gallon drum with a fire built in it just to hear them explode.me and a friend were drunk and wanted to spin fire poi but we didnt have any contain to put fuel in to soak the wicks so i told my friend to just cup his hands and that it would be fine so i dumped the white gas all over his hands while holding the wicks. i spun off the excess fuel and handed him the lighter since i couldnt light them myself while holding the poi.
i dont think i need to continute the story any further but just in case i do he ended up catching on fire and got second degree burns on his hands and arms. i felt terrible lol.
Fun with fire! Lol.We were throwing empty aerosol cans in a 55 gallon drum with a fire built in it just to hear them explode.
This was back when the good stuff was used to pressurize cans. My friend threw a full can of wd40 at the barrel and it fell out on the ground next to it. I have no idea why but he grabbed a little hatchet and went to hit the can. I went to grab him before it happened. I made it up to him about the time he makes contact. I turned away and dropped to the ground.
Poor guy. It burnt his eyebrows and most his hair off.
