I swear I'm a gonna - already boxed - just sitting in the garage - I need one of those automatic spring loaded boots that kick me in the arse now and then!

Having first hand experience in observing this guy in action, I am forced to agree.But, in all fairness I think I have to say, when it's time to go fishing, he's gets focused & is keen on achieving the task, no boot required. Wink

You see it’s pretty tempting to commute on my new bike with gas at $3.50 a gallon but I’ll keep it off I-5 for awhile. I’ll just have to be patient- thanks for the input.

"A Controversial Toipc"

possible drama = why I had a disclaimer in my first post in this thread.

Yes, and excluding any internet access and stuck with only your God given MOM, just what are you gonna do? What if you didn't have this guy's input and you don't know crap, then what's next? How ya gonna learn?

Why is it that people can read a web page and not a manual? That guy has done 300 engines which is more than I, and I hardly doubt his knowledge. However, does he engineer them and has he built millions? No. Suzuki has.

Before long it's gonna be..."Please, insert disk and click when requested....Congratulations!. Your biker installation is now complete. Please remove disk and ride safe!"

I don't think so. I newbie should go by the book.

Yeah...but I promised to do a little "tinkering" for him and as I wait and wait and wait, the UPS guy never shows up.

If he'd send it when it's raining, I could do it while he's fishin' Tongue

And see...I'm old school. I've fallen down for every year you've even drooled about a bike. I didn't always make the best choices, but I learned a few things anyway. To me biking is both fun and serious. You can have a great time or you can get dead real fast.

What I try to pass on is a conservative type of learning about bikes. You can't get all the info you need in just a couple emails or a web site, and you'll never get the experience that you need from this forum...

So, if I give any info to anyone, it's intended to make them think. I don't sp00n feed. If you ask a question, I usually ask a question. Why? To make people think.

Why? Because when you're out on the road with your newbie mind rattling around in that helmet, you better be thinking on your own. 'Cuz then it's just you and God, and I don't want you cussin' me.

How's that for a nudge?

So, what part of I-5? Northern or southern?

That's cool, Man. Looks like I may have a 650 Honda to work on soon, and that'll be easy enough to fit you in....

...actually just kidding....I don't know crap about the bike, but I'll work on it anyway Tongue

Send it when you have time, I'll work on it whenever. Okay?

Now how about the Break In Period on this forum. How many posts must I post before I address greg_650 directly?

A warm welcome you make. This experienced biker and former 96 savage owner is thrilled to be called a newbie and a teenager. And then you want to know where i'm from? Please do you think i am going to have you over for riding tips? Maybe you can read a story to my kids? You've accused a few people of trying to be cool in your posts- why don't you look up hubris?

Please

Not addressing any particular poster or topic but that could depend on how many existing posts one reads before posting questions. Historically there are far too many repeats of the same questions, often completely covered within the previous few weeks, that could be avoided with a little effort.
