    Blue, You speak the truth. There is never going to be proof one way or another.It takes FAITH to believe for or against God. Smart people admit their limited knowledge in this vast universe and beyond. It's only the superstitious and naive who can't see their own faith.
  3. sorry to bump my own post ,but I have more carb questions......skip the top question, I should be able to find a shop to oval bore in the Detroit area.
  4. Glad you had your helmet on and lived to tell the story. Just another tidbit for others, blows to the head still have not been ruled out in playing a contributing factor of Alzheimer's. Got to remember we all have a future.
  5. Can anyone provide me name(s) of somebody who can oval bore my stock carbs? If my slides measure 27.5mm can I go with a 27mm x 29mm oval bore and still be able to idle? I,m looking to go with a play/all around port job soon.So I still want a decent idle. Also what does a divider plate do? Does it basically turn a round slide into a flat slide,(functionally only) getting rid of some turbulence?
  6. the anticipation is killing me! :shoothead:

    warwgn, 1st I want to thank you for your thoughtful responce.2nd I want to thank you for your polite manner.I won't look at your "thumper" comment as a insult (even if it was it's well with in the bounds of civility) because I am a thumper. I have been commissioned by the great commission "spread the gospel" I have done so with your permission you are a volunteer in the roo roo.You also are a secular thumper if you have the honesty to admit it. We do agree about questioning authority,(ideas or people)and promoting higher education.Do you know the contributions of christians to education? You could start with Harvard.Are you aware of christian physicist or molecular biologist? How about top nasa engineers openly christian.Did you know sir Isaac newton was great believer in God and Jesus(he did not believe Jesus was God)Newton was problaby the greatest mind ever.I venture to say he would be a christian today also, because of the way he reasoned that physics pointed to God.Just like Francis S. Collins who mapped the human genome and is still in charge of the the project today. If you're really interested in evidence(not just talk, like most) then read his new book "the Language of God" Albert Einstein started the 5 points of the probability of God. surge 1. S- the second law of themodynamics 2. U- the universe is expanding 3. R- radiation from the big bang 4. G- great galaxy seeds 5. E- Einstein's theory of general relativity There almost no dissension from these 5 ideas proving the universe had a beginning.Breaking the 1st law of physics: something can not come from nothing. The question arises why is there something instead of nothing? Einstein knew what the implications of his theory were, that there was a God he was so upset with this, that this theory got shelved for a few years until an intern picked it up again. I'm not sure if you took my comments to your ex-christian link, as me twisting it. I did not. It was not clear to me if you were athiest or not but your link blogger is. I know you are not used to my type of questions Example:your answer, science = caring. Science tells us nothing about the existence of God.Philosophy interrupts yeah or ney.This is a big tactic of mine playing devils advocate. Ideas have consequences and the tricky part, unintended consequences.There is a God or there is not a God these are the only two choices we have (agnostics don't change the premise of logic ,a is a , a is not non a).So my point was if there is no God the only alternative is that you are a pile of chemicals only. Chemicals don't care, even if they talk(who cares) you have no authority to your emotions you steal them from christians. you are indeibly stained by christian group think and unable to shake it off. If you stand back at the edge of the universe with out God you have to admit it doesn't care if you live or die because you have no meaning.Regardless if you think you do.

    Can you see the humor of someone thinking that they found something new,novel, and even provocative. These arguments are all old and they have been around for hundreds of years. Even when it comes to arguments that you think could not have happened unless there were new scientific discoveries. The age of the earth was discussed thousands of years ago. Even Augustine (354-430 a great christian mind) thought that Genesis 1 should not be taken literally. Many Christians believe God formed His planned relationship with man through evolution. This does not even come close to negating the main theme of the bible (which I'm willing to bet most unbelievers could not give a good guess because of ignorance on the subject) For arguments sake lets say you're right, there is no God and take that idea to it's logical conclusion. You are just dust, thats all you've ever been, thats all you ever will be. Why does dust care so much about being right trying with such passion to convince others of their way of thinking? (at least we have a excuse) to understand how fast time goes by, just look back, it flies. Soon to be more behind you than in front of you. And soon to be dead. What makes you think you have ANY meaning at all. Be a good atheist and practice what you say you believe and not what you do. :shrug: The bible says in the last days there will be a great falling away (christians leaving). There will be many more so called ex-christians to join your voice!
  12. It's a simple solution, but it takes self control and discipline. What better place to practice and add to your own strength and character.It's common practice today to antagonize with personal attacks (much easier) vs. answering with substance.Profanity is a big attempt by a small brain to answer loudly to keep you off balance that can leave the attacker in control.I have seen it happen many times mostly by unmerited angry men with a heightened sense of hyper machismo.Better is it to expose others (chosen) deficiencies by your self control and positive character. At the very least by staying on topic with respect to your opponent you or they(me) may leave better educated which benefits you and everyone around you. Even if you finish with a " agree to disagree".
  13. Thank guys I'll pick up a new set (o-rings)by the weekend I'll go up to 22#s I also didn't put any grease on stud o-rings.
  14. nice tweaks Lee no wonder you're the Godfather
  15. life's a mystery!
  16. This past weekend I installed a used pro design cool head with new o-ring gaskets. I think I did everything proper but during warm ups & retorquing I developed a small leak evident at front left bolt.(above exhaust) My question is when installing longer head bolts I noticed the two longer bolts than the rest(above exhaust) did not bottom out untill threads disappeared(into cylinders without heads on).The other 8 bolts left the same 2 threads exposed just the same as all the stock head bolts.I was wondering if I should turn out front 2 bolt so 2 threads are exposed so o-rings can squish into threads the o-rings are still in good shape except around the bolts they're smashed and have to be replaced I also noticed o-rings around domes were different color (high temp?) can I use any old o-ring of right size? Any thoughts would be appeciated!
  17. says who? lol
  18. It's noticeably slower and it's not your computer I have a fast connection which probably makes the change more apparent to me. It's so slow I had to post twice lol.

  20. i write these things to you who believe in the name of the son of god so that you may KNOW that you have eternal life.
  21. 'IF' by Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head When all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, O being lied about don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look to good, or talk too wise; If you can dream-- and not make dreams your master; If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn--out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it in one turn of pitch- and- toss, And lose, and start at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them:'Hold on!' If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings-- nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son! I heard this a few years back and it touched me. I thought someone else might enjoy it too!

    you got the best smilies I've seen so far.
  24. cool, a very respectful critique.Thanks for raising the bar!
  25. I'm pretty excited about Can Am being on the stage again and would love to own a sport quad made in north america. What is being compared here is oranges to cinder blocks. My muscle car buddies talk about displacement, displacement, displacement(even if they are turbo charged).So a 800cc is almost twice the displacement as a 450 but not twice as heavy. It's more than twice the size as our beloved banshee. What if you double the 800 or double the etc.... it becomes a different animal I'm looking forward to air conditioners! The best for me would be Am Can efi 450 2 stroke w/single rear axel. :baseball_w00t:
