A thought on highways vs. city streets;

put 7k miles on my bike before going down, prob a 60/40 split highway/street maybe more, alot of my commutes were on I-5 to SFV.

Went down half a mile from my house taking off from a light turned green, lady just wasn't paying attention "you came out of nowhere" which translates "i wasn't looking". I wasn't splitting lanes either.

Jesus, it shouldn't take long to solve a carb problem. I'll look into that bike, hopefully it's a good light starter bike for me. I haven't looked at gear yet so I don't know the price ranges.. but yeah, those items, for sure, I'll be wearing them. I don't want to be another statistic illustrating a missing jacket would have prevented excessive bleeding.

I've had a couple sv650's. Amazing bikes. A little twitchy with how they deliver their power, which can catch you off guard if you haven't ridden before. I recommend one only if you have ridden a bike larger than 500cc before. Otherwise start with a smaller bike and work your way up.
You don't need a speed demon no matter how big the temptation is.

I actually like the Suzuki s40 if i got a new bike, looks like a turd out of the box, but the geometry is very cafe-friendly if you're dead set on cafe styles.

Looks like a drastic overhaul, but those are ALL bolt on parts

650cc on a single pot, 5 speeds, and up to 60mpg, can be had for ~2.5k

Very do it.

Redrill or adapters? I think redrills will be best.

Thanks a bunch Terry.

If my order fails, which seems likely due to EVERYBODY not having any on hand. I will hit you up!

So I'm at a crossroads rite now., my car has developed more of the known old leaks, including a bad radiator leak, so my plans of attack are:

A: Do a m/s5x swap, refresh as many seals and gaskets as possible without separating the headgasket, as long as it's in good condition and or low milage.

B: Pull my m20 out, do the headgasket and seals along with a refresh of the head and live happy for the next 15 years with a motor that I somewhat understand.

C: Leave as is and continue to do regular maintenance, save up more money and just buy a newer car.

What say you SCGC?

R3v should set up a fund for Ed to get a swap, just like the yan-3 fund. Eds been around for a while and has helped/mentored/guided people with great advice.

He'll be redrilling flat, like Samer's, at the same place when he has the time to head up here.
Forgot to tell you Sunday that we're all going to hang

Seems like it's going to be raining a lot this week, I don't think anyone will want to hike in the rain. I rather drink cold beers, anyone, anyone????
