my winter project

**Hoser** · 02-19-07, 04:32 PM

Yeah...........I've been polishing my knob allot longer than you.........Ya Toad.

This is a copy and paste from the FZ1OA

"The kids at the High School were teasing my daughter about me driving my motorcycle around town in a Pink Jacket. It's the inside of my ski jacket, and I don't really give a rats ass what I looked like as long as I was warm. I even wore a Winnie the Pooh back pack with it.

She used to cringe when she saw me wearing it.

Luke had offered to send us Mohawks, but I thought it would attract too much attention..... especially with cops.

A couple of months later I decided to buy one just to embarrass my daughter. When she saw it she asked why didn't I get a pink one.

It ended up embarrassing me more than her.

Some days it still embarrasses me a little, but I can live with it. Allot of people get a kick out of it, but the biggest smiles come from kids.

They're usually attracted to motorcycles anyways, but one with a guy wearing a Mohawk puts them over the edge.

Now all the boys at the High School want my motorcycle and "The Cool Mohawk".

I ride the bike purely for pleasure, and the Mohawk is just part of it. I've been wearing mine for a couple of years now, and some cops give me a weird look, but thats about it. Seems they don't want to deal with a nut case."

Oh.......and thanks for the little tidbit about the age difference.......You Little Piss Ant

Thanks for the offer . . . as for my Jeep, it's not a Wrangler type, it's a 99 Grand Cherokee. I had the tie rods and ends, front brakes and rotors, and a tune up done last Friday and will be having the upper and lower ball joints, rear brakes, all shocks, power steering service, and throttle body replacement. I figure I've done well not having to do ANY major work to my Jeep until now.

**JohnnyV** · 02-19-07, 04:57 PM

**Hoser** · 02-19-07, 05:00 PM

It's actually a WJ model.

WJ Jeeps.com - Main Menu

And replacement is easy if you have the right tools and a lift. Neither of which I have.

**Wishbone** · 02-22-07, 08:16 PM

ok so hear are my carbs re-jetted and ready for installation!

one more step closer

float bowls open

you can see the tray of stuff installed

carb tops open ready for the diaphragm and needles to be removed

stock needles and main jets removed also brass plugs that cover the mixing screws (stupid lawyers)

and a preview of the K&N pods with the intake boots on

soon it will be done...i hope

**Hoser** · 02-22-07, 10:17 PM

**Hoser** · 03-06-07, 09:09 PM

It must cost a guy your age an outrageous amount of money for insurance on a new bike.

It's not as bad as you think if you can keep the CCs sorta low. Especially since I have a clean record and don't park on the street. It should do down even more once I've been riding for 4 or 6 years (whatever it is) and I am considered an 'experienced rider' by the state of MA.

**JohnnyV** · 03-06-07, 11:40 PM

I've only been liscensed for 4 1/2 years on the bike so my bike insurance hasn't gone down yet, but it's not so bad. My Ninja250 was dirt cheap, since I just had basic coverage, same with my CBR, but once I got the Telefonica and carried everything under the sun it went up to like $80 a month

**Wishbone** · 03-07-07, 06:15 AM

**bigred875** · 03-07-07, 06:40 AM

and I thought MA sucked. That's crazy. After hearing about nefarious's insurance I'm stay the hell out of RI.

**bigred875** · 03-07-07, 11:32 AM

i pay $420 a year for full coverage. Your age and driving record have a lot to do with it. In the Peoples Republic of Mass. the insurance system is socialistic...the people with good driving records pay more so the people with shitty ones do not have to pay as much....it is the only state the operates like that and why gieco and other companies dont seel insurance there...

so if you are young and have a shitty record, Mass is the place for you
