Anyone with a line on a seat, please hit me up! I've got a Duncan Racing midrange machine that's deserving better than what it's getting right now. I'm planning on stripping it down and starting over to get this baby back to when it was a much happier mill! Lemme know.. I'm out west if that helps!!

Hey "Let'sgetthisdone"... Where are you at in Vegas? I'm from Tonopah, but they won't let me go back for a couple months they're telling me. My better half lives by Carey and Nellis, looks like I'll be hangin out in Vegas for quite some time right now. It'd be cool to actually meet someone from BHQ, maybe we can get together sometime... I'm always up to seein someone elses Banshee when the opportunity comes along! ~cork

Takin the time to heal is a no brainer, at least on this end my friends... Here it is friday and all that macho "this don't hurt as much as I thought it would" enthusiasm has officially flown the coop. This shit is beginning to smart and taking it easy is non-negotiable...lol. even being just a passenger and getting ferried around is a strain and after about 8 hours of it yesterday, I am not doing a darn thing besides kicking back today, maybe tomorrow too by the looks of it! I gotta hand it to my sweetie though. She's officially declared that she'll smack the snot out of me if I don't act like I've got good sense, and I don't think my bluff is workin on her, she always was better than me in a stare down...lol. You folks go on out and take a ride for me when you get the chance...I can hardly wait till I can get back to throwin alittle sand again myself!!! ~corks ** Man, you wouldn't believe what kinda stuff them hospital folks gotta deal with... the size of some of the holes I've discovered hiding under even a tiny piece of guaze around here would put Cujo off his dinner for a week, lemme just tell ya...lol!

You'll hafta pardon my typing for the time being...looking down is a trmendous effort right now...lol ~crunched up..

Thanx for the encouragement gang! My neck surgery took place yesterday morning and here it is the evening of the next day and I'm back home feelin' pretty decent for a change. True to form, I made a handful of new enemies out of te nursing staff at Spring Valley Hospital in Las Vegas, but I tried tellin them on the way n that I'm prolly the worlds worst patient. Plan worked good though...by the time they'd been around me for 24 hours, they were doing all they could to get me back home as soon as possible, which suited me just fine...lol. Now all that's left is the healing and from the look of things, it'sot gonna be real tough. Except for a board stiff neck brace, everything feels better than it has in AGES! To those of you that took the time to talk me into this...thanx! I'm not sure I would have done this on my own... ~cork

Cool, but I'd really like a chance to explain this to you too if that's possible? You've been really reasonable about all of this and your feedback has been nothing but excellent too. It just feels like I at least outta try to resolve this first, but I'm running low on time here. I'm getting surgery next week, but if we can, I'd like to at least discuss this with you and not just send back the lights...fair enough? I'll be in and out of BHQ all weekend and if you'd rather I just send them back, I can do that too... thanx for bein' decent about it, all the feedback you've gotten is well deserved Bubba! ~cork

Brand spankin' new,never been wired up at all.Mount in stock position.$80 shipped. You got a minute for a couple of questions? I've been busy making arrangements for some neck surgery and just now got around to opening the box the lights came in... by any chance, did you have more than one set of lights up for sale, or was there another party involved in this? I'll be around most all weekend, so I shouldn't be troo hard to track down. Thanx.. ~cork

$100 for everything shipped? Oh HELL NO, I'll go $125 right now!!! Did I win? Where do I send the money to? LMAOOOOO!!

Sending payment now. You should have a payment notice from paypal by the time you read this...thanx and please lemme know when you get the payment. ~cork

New in the box, I'll takethem...pcs would be nice...send me your paypal and I'll get you paid as soon as I get a reply...thanx! ~cork

You're right..the pics aren't very good. Either try to get some better pics or I'll send you half for them till I get to see what they really look like. If the chrome is in really good shape as you suggest, you'll have the rest of your money upon receipt. Check around, my word as a buyer is good. Lemme know! ~cork

I been with TDAmeritrade for around 6 years now...They been pretty good to me so far... ~cork

Which 2 simple words are guaranteed to make room for you in a crowded restroom? ** nice dick :thumbsup:

Jeff...anything special about the crank? Who makes it? The cylinders gonna need a bore? How many times it been bored already? Lemme know pls... ~cork

Got pics of the cool head? I'd be willing to go $140 if it's in good shape.. ~cork

Got any pics of these? Thanx! ~cork

If the cool head hasn't sold, I want it...Lemme know. ~corks

Thanx Man..that's kinda what had in mind, but it's nice to see that it actually works too...It was starting to look like another nightmare at first until I saw that someone else was installing taller steering too. I love the way the bike feels sitting up 2" higher and more chrome is always a plus. I don't think I've heard of anyone who added this upgrade and didn't like it. Thanx alot for the help! ~cork

"a +2 is just long enough that you can use all of youre stock cables and such. the ony other mod you need to do is relocate the front brake "t" fitting about 1 inch higher than it currently sits". Sh how did you resolve this? I've got the same stem and the same problem goin on right now. A longer line from Brake res to the "T" would seem to be the answer, but I don't think they make them...Thanx! ~cork

Lol...I know, some of them stories are just timeless.. The one about the guy who get's caught by his wife in the kichen getting a b/j from a frog? Classic!! It's the mental imagery that makes them...lol ~corks

Once upon a time....there wa a pig farmer who had found his luck had changed and his pigs were no longer producing. So, he gets himself a brand new boar and turns it loose with his sows to get back on track. The boar however didn't seem to have much interest in the farmers livestock, and weeks later there were still no new piglets to be had. So, the farmer travels into town to see the veterinarian, tells him about the new boar and asks what the Dr thinks he should do? The Vet thinks about the problem for a second and then tells him that he should consider artificial insemination. The farmer thanks the veterinarian and left, but wasn't entirely certain what the vet was telling him to do. It was on his way home that he concluded that the man was suggesting he have sex with his pigs. Early the next morning, the farmer casually loads all of his pigs into the back of his truck (kicked the boar in the head too I'd imagine) and took off for a place far away from his neighbors so that they wouldn't know what he was up to. One by one he had sex with each of his sows, loaded them back into the pickup truck and drove back to his farm. Several weeks pass, but still no little piglets and now he's beginning to get alittle worried. He calls the veterinarian back and tells him about his predicament. The vet explains to him that he was going to have to continue with the artificial insemination until it "took" and his sows got pregnant. He explained thet he'd know when that happened because they would begin to wallow in the mud. Wallowing in mud is a sign that the insemination had been successful. So once again, the farmer loads up the pigs (kicks the boar twice this time) and drives them way out into the countryside to spend the entire day having sex with each of the pigs. By nightfall, the farmer now completely exhausted, puts his pigs away and drags himself upstairs to bed. The next morning, still exhausted and too sore to move, the farmer asks his wife, "Margret...stick yer head out the window and tell me if them sows are wallowing in the mud yet". She peers outside for a moment and shortly responds with, "naaahh...'ppears to me that they're all standin' in the back of yer truck...and one of them is honkin' the horn!" Happy New Year gang! ~cork

How funny..."rail her" Seems like every generation comes up with their own way to "git 'er dun" Just as well I spose...gettin porked just wasn't meant to last in this calorie conscious world....lol :happy: ~corks

Thanx Txblueshee, I've had those same thoughts alot throughout this nonsense and that part of it looks like it's under control. My g/f just recently had her back operated on by the same surgeon I'll be dealing with. I believe they concentrated on her L5 and the results are nothing short of amazing... She was barely able to get by, on a cane and she had a terrible time tolerating the painkillers. As they were wheeling her off for the operation, she told me that if they can just stop the constant buzzing she felt in her bones 24/7, she'd call it good. Three hours later she was sitting up in bed grinning from ear to ear, all the pain was gone. Today it's been 2 months since the surgery, no cane, she's tossed the painkillers and she's been giving me regular "what ails you fool?" looks for putting my surgery off for so long...lol About 2 years ago, she introduced me to a group in Vegas, Centennial Pain and Spine and these guys are seriously top notch all the way down to the gals that work the admin part of the place. I've met with the surgeon once since he signed on to replace the former that had a stroke last year, he's one of those people you just tend to trust right off the bat. The plan has always been to see either me or the Pammie getting fixed and back on her feet before I got mine taken out from under me. Mostly for keeping the bills under control, it's been a pretty good idea so far. Kinda interesting really, I met her in 2000 because I was hurt and she knew a local masseuse (before we knew what was wrong) and she slipped at work and those darlins at workmans comp helped her get fired, and then we were both hurt. Talk about karma, I guess we were both at a point where we could use a good friend. She was forced to relocate to Vegas closer to the Dr's and that made everything easier for me as well since my Dr was there too. Kinda scarey spelling it all out like this at a time I should be counting my blessings huh? lol It'll be interesting to see what ends up happening... And Bansheeseat$$, I might just hold you to that. We've got some decent dunes about 5 miles from here and if you can tolerate a short flight in a puddlejumper, there's some awesome looking ones just south of Beatty, about 45 minutes from here as the cork flies. If you like the way those look I'm sure it'd be worth the trouble to drive down there! Thanx again everyone....you really are the best ya know! ~corks

Bent, Bigdaddy, Washburn, and Gipperz... thank you so much for telling me what you know about this stuff. I've done most of the things you folks have suggested and tried a few others as well. This has been going on for about 5 years now and I've been quietly trying to deal with it to preserve a job I'm pretty fond of. I'm an electrician and most of my work involves doing things with my arms extended in one fashion or another. In the summer, it's not so bad and I've been able to keep all in check with painkillers and ibuprophen...generally lots of each. This is the first winter that has had me thinking about those guys and their headbands playing Russian Roulette in the Deer Hunter...not that I'm the suicidal type, but I always thought Jack Kevorkian got a raw deal if yer askin me. I've been to half a dozen military and civilian doctors since this all started. I never really fell or got into an accident to cause any damage, so the medical world started out thinking I just wanted painkillers. All their x-rays, cat scans...couldn't find anything wrong with me...once they did the MRI it all became clear. I really didn't (DON'T) want surgery...especially on the spine, but I've run out of options I'm afraid. I've tried the chiropractic route, thermal massage (very cool done properly), accupunture, had the steroidal injections (lemme tell ya...a 4" needle 2 inches above the collar bone, one on each side before breakfast, and not much worse is likely to happen to you till wayyyy after lunch!!) and gawd knows I've certainly made the pharmaceutical industry alittle wealthier. For those of you that don't know, I live in the middle of Nevada...it's 225 miles to see the Dr and if I don't eat painkillers on the way down the pain is nearly primal by the time I get to Vegas. The holidays always make people remember things...friends, family, times gone by. What I seem to be remembering are all the things I used to do. Guns I can't shoot any more, Banshees I may never complete and then there's a '58 Cessna sitting on the Notorious Tonopah International Airport tarmac waiting for some answers too I'd imagine. All this b/s just as I turn 50. Hell, I'm spose to be bouncing grandchildren on my lap not doin whatever you call what I've been doin for the last few years. sooo...good, bad, or somewhere in between, I'm goin for it. I see the Dr on the 2nd and I'll begin to make arrangements (gawd knows there are enough of them). The medical world has made all of the vague, ambiguous promises I care to hear at this point and the threat of dying on the operating table, being crippled for life and even having more pain than I started out with....all these possibilities don't addup to the single reality that it's getting worse, just like the Doc told me it would. Thanx gang..all of you have been decent in here and I just want you to know I appreciate it. I should have some answers by the beginning of the year and who knows, if all goes well there might be a party in it for you. Frankly, that'd be a damn cool way of startin down a better trail than the one I've been travelin lately...lol!! Happy HoHo! ~corks

Jared...is this an alky burner that you are using race fuel to purge the alcohol out of it with?...or have I simply lost the plot once again... :shrug:
