  1. We do. The older ones are about 1 1/4" (37.5mm) in diameter, and we had the Susan B Anthonys that were the same size as a quarter except it had something like 7 sides to it. Totally confusing being at a glance they would look the same. And now we have Sakajawea dollars that are a little bigger than a quarter, but have this fancy "goldish" tone to them. I have found that a Canadian quarter and dime will work in most US vending machines. I had a cashier pawn off a Canadian quarter to me once, and I said 'Oh, can I get a US Quarter?" She says "We don't accept Canadian money" I was fucking astounded....the change was still in my hand from when she put it there. So now I just try to pass them off onto unsuspecting cashiers since they are coming out with those state quarters ...maybe they figure its just another state quarter. And if that don't work I save them up and go wash my truck with them.
  2. Yeah me too. My Kodak Easy Share sucks ass when it comes to video. Weird. I was just thinking about posting something like this.
  3. Yep. Its just been a shitter of a year, and last year and the year before that. I used to go ride about 20 times per summer...just between april and october. I loved it. Some times we'd take a weekend at the dunes everyweek. But shit changes. People suck ass. And you move on. I might be getting a "new" riding parter here soon if she can get her masters degree quickly.
  4. LOL The version I heard was instead of removing the handle, she welds the vise shut after she locks it down on his pee pee.
  5. I like to compare my swingarms to those that Quicksand makes. I think we're both priced about the same. Mine are round tubing though. Garys are 1x2 tube. On plastics, I just placed an order for Fullbores. The others a just as good imho, just stay away from Maier. I've bought a full set of Maier that never sat straight on my bike ever. I did everything I could, and it looked like it was leaning to the left for 3 years.
  6. Yep. Once you bend an axle, you stretch one "side" and compress the other. If you attempt to straighten it, you don't compress the other side exactly, and you don't stretch the compressed side exactly. You've changed the structure of the steel. Thats one of the reasons they are heat treated, is to create a uniform crystalline structure, which gives it strength and durability, plus a higher yeild strength. If you heat it you wouldn't accomplish anything either. Just get a new axle and be done with it. If you're laying on your back in the dirt you'd wish you spent the cash.
  7. I haven't used the clutch much since 1998 when I bought it new. I just let off the gas a bit to take the pressure off of the drive dogs on the gears. Shifts great!! If I need to "speed" shift, say for racing, I just won't let off the gas, and I'll use the clutch then. Yank it in as I'm shifting and then dump it with the throttle wfo.
  8. Good thinkin. Ben, you might want to think about putting everything back on, and using a marker to denote where to stick your gussets so you don't end up chaffing wires, if you got time.
  9. Definitely the sub frame. I've seen tons of those tweaked.
  10. Yep. Let her scream and bang on her lectern with her shoe like Stalin/Hitler, then mount that bitch on a horse and shoot it in the ass with a pellet gun. BYE HILLARY!
  11. About once per year.
  12. Good to go where? I typically run in 2nd or 3rd on pavement, get it to just under the "powerband" and then snap the throttle open. Slide back on the seat if this helps. Sometimes I hang my ass over the seat like I'm takin a shit.
  13. I've done this before in the shop, so your mileage my vary... But I've drilled a hole through the stuck bolt before using the easy out. Kinda lets some of the pressure off the threads. Not a whole lot, but it seems to help. Those threads are 12mm, which is bigger than 7/16, but I'd sink a 1/4" drill down the middle first (REALLY IMPORTANT TO BE IN THE MIDDLE!) then maybe a 3/8" part way down. Be careful as your drill will drift because you're using a hand drill. If you don't feel 100% about this, don't do it. You'll end up with even more problems. When using a hand drill, it might also help if you can get your bike on its side and stable so you can drill downwards and keep that thing straight and also be able to use your body weight a little better.
  14. Cole is awesome to deal with. Straight up honest guy right there. I hope he scores some pussy at college this year. Some of the good stuff.
  15. LMFAO Seriously. We got some strange fuckers in this neighborhood and I'm tired of being one of em. I gotta get the hell out of here and in a more "normal" area. I have a neighbor that lives in what we call "the inside out house" 2 months ago, he took everything that was on the inside of the house and garage, and put it on the lawn. Its been there through rain storms, the heat, etc, for about 2 months. It looks like his fuckin house threw up on his lawn. I'm curious to see if he has dirt on the inside now.
  16. Now think about this. You have to have a fucking license to fish. Same with driving a car or a motorcycle. You have to at least pass a test. You have to get "permission" to get married. My dog has to be licensed. My truck has to be licensed. But any asshole can have a kid. That aint right. Damn right. Next time my neighbor from down the road comes to my house in a drunken stupor and tells my wife "Its too bad you're married" at 9 oclock at night I'm gonna YANK him in the house and beat his ass even more senseless than it already is.
  17. Should be able to just pop it out with a screw driver. It will be junk though. You can't, and shouldn't reuse lip seals. You must have a stock carrier if you have to heat it to get the bearings out. I don't miss those days at all.
  18. Damn dude. You need to get a job indoors or something. Cumplianos Feliz!
  19. I'd go with 9 paddles personally.
  20. FINALLY!!! A "mod" more worthless than a boost bottle.
  21. That would be an awesome alternative to running that fucking CVT tranny with the 60 pound aluminum safety cover.... Where do you find those types of trannys?
  22. UPC codes and ISBN numbers as well... Google is getting pretty awesome these days. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=026900901421
  23. I did sign up!! Is it your site?? I figure I may as well learn about the 4 strokes. Don't have much under my belt there, and I would love to have a new Fo'Fiddy.
