Oh, I forgot about Texas Hold-em! I like to play the free games at the bar and try to win a little cash. I used to do it at the casino, but I've banned myself from going now.
Now that my oldest is 18, he comes with me sometimes. That would be in my winter hobby list.

They look like fun. What do they cost?

I have to agree with Bass fishing and Golf. Green carp we call them. And they say golfing if for people that don't know how to fish! Just giving you some crap... Walleye fishing, now that is a challenge. That is why they taste so good.  |

Just wondering what everyone else has for hobbies? (Besides scooters)
Me...
Summer: Fishing on the rivers (cat fish), Camping (RV), RC cars and planes...
Winter: I really get into Flight Simulation on the computer, and if I'm lucky, I'll go snowmobiling or ice fishing once a season.
Otherwise I listen to my scanner, and mess with computers.

Plastic welding...great idea. I just found some videos about it on Youtube. I think I might try that to an area I need done.

I've only read one other post where someone tried it, and it worked. I'm temped to try it myself.
Anyone know how it works? Isn't there some lead balls or something is that stuff?

Shock oil
by: Jon C - Jul 9, 2010 12:35:35 GMT -6
Post by Jon C on Jul 9, 2010 12:35:35 GMT -6
The ride is better but just barely. It doesn't seem to jolt on every bump now, just the larger bumps or cracks in the road.
The new oil I put in was as clear as water, so I'm glad I changed out that black crap that was in there. I don't think any oil or rubber from China is any good, but that is just my opinion.
I'm not impressed with the 35w lights I put in. Only a slightly brighter.

Yep, there is an allen head plug on it...a big one. There is a spring in there too. When I took both of them off, the suspension dropped down. I'm wondering if I should of dove into this? I'll know more about the ride when I get it put back together. I'm going to have to guess on how much fluid to put in there. A guy at the motorcycle shop said to make sure I have full travel with the suspension? What ever that means, he wasn't much help. I ended up getting 10 wt. from a local shop.  www.hponline.com/eshopprod_cat_5362-17474_prodtree_370-215-307_product_693369.Fork_and_Suspension_Oil.htmI had it all apart because my steering felt loose and found a bold that needed to be tightened. I also got lucky at an auto parts store, and found 35w head lights that are an exact fit! $2.95 at a place called Welle Auto. |

Thanks so far, I'm going to try a local motorcycle shop. They said they have about 5 different weights. Zugzug, I'll keep that in mind and start with a lighter weight.
I'll let you know what I find.

Does anyone know what kind of oil to put in the front shocks? And how much do I add to it.
I tried to pump out the old oil, and it doesn't seem like there is much in there although it is really black. There isn't a drain plug is there? I didn't see anything.
Thanks.

I've always wanted to see it with the Space Shuttle trailing it, but never did. Looks like I've got a good shot to see it tonight. I've seen that once. Two little lights in the sky chasing after each other. Beautiful. However, I'm much more awed by watching them go up! I live and work about 60-70 miles from Cape Canaveral and its amazing to watch each and every time a shuttle goes up! Night launches are the best. Its a shame that there are only a few missions left. I'm totally jealous about that! I never got a chance to see that either. I always tried to tune into the NASA channel for the launches and landings, and loved it. Hmmm, hopefully they will have another vehicle soon. |

Thanks for the kind words!
That looks like a good idea, I'll try that. I wasn't sure it had and important function or not.
Thanks, I'm off for a test run.

Bashan, did you re-jet above the 115 you put in there? Or did you get your problem solved?
I bought a 115 and a 125. I can't read what the original was, it looked like 105 or 115?? Not sure, so I'm going to put the 125 in now and see how it goes with that and a uni from scrappydog.
*edit*
Got the jets and the uni on, but what do you do with the hose that goes from the valve cover to the filter box after you add a uni filter? I don't h
(I'm trying not to start a new thread here).
