On no, I'm not a "lady" like that. It was so long ago that I don't think it counts for shit anymore. It's just something cool to know. Seeing as how some of them ended up in America, that doesn't sound like a happy story. :bigjoint:

misshestermoffitt · Mar 17, 2009

So Worm are you scraping up a new car today?

Craigslist is a riot. I love rants and raves. Good stuff.

korvette1977 · Mar 17, 2009

I need a set of forks for my kids Minibike .. they are bent.. every set i see on e bay that will work go for Like $50 .. So I found a frame with forks and asked the guy if he would take the forks from the frame Toss the frame away (mind you I would pay for the whole unit) and The dude said NO .. WTF .only thing I can figure is that he is making a killing on the shipping ($45) opposed to $10 just the forks would cost ..
Fucking Scammers

No doubt, just keep looking, I needed a longer kickstand last year but didn't want to pay $75 or some stupid shit like that, and the one I needed magically appeared with perfect timing and including shipping only cost me $20.

I posted under motorcycles in craigslist "wanted kick stand.....blah, blah" and someone flagged it and had it removed. It pissed me off. A person with the part I want would be more likely to see it under motorcycles than under "wanted". Lame shit.

vette don't you know any welders or machine shops in the area that could fix the forks you have?

misshestermoffitt · Mar 17, 2009

I wish they had junkyards for bikes like they do for cars. I used to love going junkyardin back in the day. Score the part you need for cheap.

worm5376 · Mar 17, 2009

Not even a joke loL

No . The carb is being ripped apart and cleaned ,,, the dude said something about Reeds .. I said just FIX IT . :wall:

I rode mine twice yesterday. It was GREAT.

I'm back in the saddle again.....I'm baaaaack. I'm back in the saddle again.......

Since we sold the rebel, hubby wants the bikes backed into the garage, boy are my legs muscles sore from that, it's backing up an uphill slant. I'll have thighs of steel by the end of the summer.

My clutch hand is crampy and wussified, it needs to get with the program.

keep an eye on the tires for dry rot......

misshestermoffitt · Mar 17, 2009

Just ride nice and slow through the country. Let her lead and set the speed. As she feels more comfortable she'll go faster.

I remember back when I thought driving 45 MPH was fast and scary, and I was scared of riding on the highway.

Now I prefer the highway, and the faster the better. :-P

oh yes and you may be able to find that battery at Walmart, they do sell bike batteries and I was thinking we bought a rebel battery there once.
