Yeah, 'er 'uh, BLM777
Actually, I had already scheduled Her for new Valve springs.  We noticed the 0 oil pressure, when we started it up, to load in the FEATHERLITE.  We knew something was wrong.  Cut it off, and restarted Her, and it came right up.  That didn't sound right, did it?  I hope my  Rivera will suffice.  [highlight]I may have to get Neal to De-Tune Her a little!  You know, cut the HP back.[/highlight]You believe that, don't you Brian?

Hubbard,
I know we've never met in person, but I think I know you well enough to ask this.... Are you having some kind of bad flashback of a bad trip earlier in life? You cutting back HP! I can't even believe your fingers let you type this. I bet you get tarpal tunnel syndrome from typing something like that, you'd better be careful.

Hubbard, what did you hear to know that you were having this many issues or was it found in a regular PM on the bike?  Was this 2 years of hard wear or did it happen more recently.  Was it caused by a loosening chain due to tensioner wear...Any thoughts on this.

Yeah, 'er 'uh, fatboyse2,
  I didn't hear a thing!  I was taking Her in for PM check, and to replace my valvesprings.  I had hit the Rev-Limitier more than a few times, and that's harder on valve springs than anything, IMO.  It would have been 2 years next month, and yes, I have abused that Motor.  I guess I would have to relate the failure to my MODS, and really runnin' the chit out of it, but the damage done is a direct result of the tensioner failure, absent the broken Valve Keeper.  Later--HUBBARD

Go ahead do it MAKE MY DAY.

                                    OTIS  

Yeah, 'er 'uh, OTIS,
  You know I was just blowin', Man!  Let's say I would cut it back to, lets say, 110 HP.  Then, we should run about even, up to around 125-30 mph, but then you'd start to gain on me, because of the areodynamics.  At least I'll admit what's in my Motor.  Why don't you fess up, and tell these fine people how you get 110 HP out of a STOCK '01 SERG, with a "little" Head Work?  Curious Minds want to know!  Please advise.  Later--HUBBARD

Yeah OTIS!! Fess up! HUBBARD just put you on the spot [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] Now come clean and share your work with others

Spread the word for ALL to read

Take Care,

Grover

[Grover]

HUBBARD-

  Darnitt! You don't need any more P-O-W-E-R!! Give us Lil fellas a chance to keep up.

  By the way, congrats on catching Ole Maudi before she had a nervous breakdown. Hope all the build goes well.
  Have a damn good time in Daytona!  WFO [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Take Care,

Grover

[HUBBARD]

Yeah, 'er 'uh, Grover,
  Thanks, Man.  Ain't you goin' to Daytona?  Please advise.  And OTIS ain't gonna' fess up!  He's just gonna' grin like a 'possum eatin chit, like he always does, when somebody asks him what he's done to that Motor!  [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] Later--HUBBARD

Glad to hear you caught this before it got real expensive.  Some good things to say about doing maintenance and inspections regularly especially if you like to lean on it regularly [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Did I see somewhere you are looking to add Nitrous to your volitile mix.  Forget keeping up with you on the road, with that speed you'll be a couple beers up on everyone[smiley=drink.gif]cause you're getting to the next pitstop a half hour before the rest [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

[HUBBARD]

Yeah, 'er 'uh, fatboyse2,
  No NOS for me!  I'm too crazy to have that chit strapped to my butt!  No moderation!  [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] Later--HUBBARD

Yeah, 'er 'uh, Fire00d,
  OK.  I lied.  Does that mean I don't get carpal tunnel, since I fessed up?  [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] We'll meet up, someday.  You goin' to Daytona, or Myrtle, or Maggie Valley, this year?  Please advise.  Later--HUBBARD

Not this year. I'll be gettin married in the spring. I know I'm  [smiley=zstupid.gif] So Daytona will have to wait 'til next year. But we'll be doing Cripple Creek & Maggie Valley this year.
Tell that 'possum OTIS to enjoy his dinner [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]and clean his plate!!

Take Care,

Grover

P.S. I'll bring a 6' tow strap to Maggie Valley...hook it to Ole Maudies forks and to my backrest...then you'll be able to read my plate.

Ooooooh, that was pretty good.  Grover has some verbal b*tch slapping skills going on.  

Um, ok......  Next !   [smiley=banana.gif] [smiley=jalapeno.gif]

[Grover]

It's all in good HUMOR...Just for laughs...Nothing personal...Just good clean fun... [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Kinda like Ole Maudie tryin to chase me down  [smiley=nervous.gif]

Yeah, that'll be good, Grover.  Never thought of that "towing" thing.  OTIS was gettin' tired of having to go get fuel for Ol' Maudie, all the time.  She don't get but about 15-20 miles to the gallon, with that "BIG MOTOR", and all.  And you're sure, you don't mind to help a Brother out?  I'd help you, if you ran out of gas.  [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] Later--HUBBARD

Hubbard,
Daytona - No, not making that this year.

Myrtle - That is the plan at this time. (Have to work May 14, and planning on heading down either 16th or 17th for the rest of the week)

Maggie Valley - Still working on that.

But hell West "By God" Virginia state line ain't but about an hour or so away from me, so we may meet even before any of these major events.
