Ok, Check out our FB page and check out the pix from today. Does that count for having the bike in the pix? FaceBook is giving me problems so goto FB and search for:

The church is in a video, you can see the tower/spire. It's an old Catholic church on the north shore near Waimea Bay Beach Park. Here's a good one for you. How about a chainmail fence? We use them to keep falling rocks from landing on passing tourists, and the occasional resident too. LOL  And the video. You can see the church tower on the other side of the bay..... |

Well.... Now we know. Alley wears undies. LOL
I got caught in the rain yesterday also. It was only a passing shower, but it was coming down pretty good. I rode in it for about a mile before I broke out of it. I was mostly dry thanks to my wonderful faring.

Got rid of the bike already, but it wasn't difficult to make. Slid the boots on and mounted the connectors. I had taken them from one of the other wires. I used to do connections like that all the time. And this is not any 'ole speaker wire. I'm talking 12 gauge insulated and shielded cable, the kind used by bands on stage.

Ok, My Wife and I went riding around the island and she took a bunch of pix and some vids. So, while I wait for YouTube to upload, I'll start creating an album on my FB page to share some pix and vids with you for this thread.

The new plug wires sux. They have some sort of plastic conductor inside instead of a nice piece of wire. And if they come out of alignment with themselves, you can't get a decent spark. Had 3 wires all give me trouble so I changed to a length of speaker wire and BAM! Massive spark.

You ARE invisible and they ARE out to get you. If you think I'm kidding, just try riding here in Hawaii. We have people from everywhere in the world driving on our roads. It's ALWAYS tourist season here and a tourist has one hand on the map, the other is holding a sandwich or a drink, steering with a knee, or better yet, having the passenger drive from the wrong seat.
I've seen things that if I had a lick of sense would make me quit riding forever.

Since you parked it inside a car, I'll let you keep it. Having to take the car off AND open the case is more than I really want to do. LOL  |

Also, get yourself a gap tool. Can't change plugs without one.
.50 cents to $1 at most parts stores.

Really? 2 full days? Is that real time or Dealer quote time? I'm pretty sure it can be done in a single day. Might take all day, but it shouldn't take more than that.

A scooter can do it more easily than most manual shift bikes. I did the course on both my scoot and then my Nighthawk. The scoot was far easier.

Craigs List. Label the title as a 'Mechanics Special'.
Those usually go pretty fast.

The worst helmet is the one you own and don't wear.

If you don't get something good from it then you're asleep or dead.
