WOW MYTH, that was by the SKIN of your teeth, huh!
The most professional AND serious peace Officers I have ever encountered ARE in Texas. The Texas Rangers to be exact. They didn't like my Michigan plates passing them on the hwy. The were doing the speed limit ~ 65. I was doing ~ 70ish. I crept past, nodded to them, and kept going. In most cases, this tactic is fine. I'm not doing anything wreckless, The officer know I'm paying attention. Well they followed me for a LONG way.  And LIGHTS!!!!! Siren!!!!!  ACTION!!!!
I was in my lightly modded '85 Daytona turbo. I could have ditched them, BUT I was in a good mood and Well, TEXAS IS HUGE!!!! I might not make it out.  I stopped, pulled my keys out of the ignition, held the keys up for a second, placed them on the dash, rolled down my window, placed my hands visably on the steering wheel(this puts cops at ease USUALLY) I have one Ranger on each side of my car now. Hmm, that's not what usually happens. One Officer asks me to put both hands out the drivers window(sound like this is going to be a fellony stop) The officer on the right is peering through my windows to see whats in the back of my car. Well, The officer has me open my door from the outside door handle and he extracates me from the vehicle, very nicely too. We walk backwards to the rear of my car with my hands on top of my head, he, grasping my interlocked fingers, not too tight, but I knew he meant business. I noticed that his weapon had been released from it's strap. Hmmm, these guys ARE serious!!!! The other Ranger is now looking through my LEFT OPEN DOOR,(smart, having me leave my door open). Well as it turns out as I passed the officers, I didn't realise that the small tarp covering my small trailer, I had disassembled and put in the back of my car(Harbor Frieght 4X8 folding), had been flopping aroundfrom my sun roof being open. They thought ALL kinds of things could be in the back of my car, mostly heavy Arms. They thought I was running heavy weapons through Texas. The Rangers were very polite, courtious, even concideriate towards me. When they were through "Inspecting" my car and me. They said that the tarp in the back of my car had been flapping inside and they had seen a LOT of "gun metal metalic tubing and rectangular shapes"  in the back and when they ran my plates, they got a different vehicle to match the plate. (he ran it again once he had seen the matching registration) The plate was typed in wrong and well.....They followed me for so long waiting for back up, there was none close  so, I recieved the Texas Ranger Greeting!!!  The Rangers apoligised and explained, They were protecting the best intrest of the Good People of Texas.
Well, thats what I get for painting my trailer GUN METALLIC GRAY!!!!!    (That was a fun hour or so)  GOD BLESS TEXAS!!!

Hey Myth. A good classic trance song is Sandstorm by Darude. Usually if someone can't stand that song, trance isn't the right type of music for them.  

There's the Youtube link to the song.

WOW....That , to us old foggies, is Thechno-pop.  So, now it's called Trancing....WOW!!!!  Still like some of it.
I like most all music EXCEPT Bubble Gum and hard / Gansta Rap. Pretty much every thing from Trans Syberian Orch. ,Metal, Hard rock, Modern Country( not Willie) Most Goth and Celtic. Ya  know....Most music.

So ChoyLiFutsoccer, Are you part of the Plum Blossom, Choy Li Fut, out of San Francisco with Grand Master Doc Fei Wong(and son Jason)?

Well, being an EX hardcore street racer, I've had an EMENCE amount of run-ins with the Po'po.  One of my favs goes like this
Driving my 1962 Ford Fairlane 500 Sport here in Salt Lake City, I was pulling out of a parking lot and I STOMPT the throttle and laid 2 stripes down the road, shifted to second and put down 10 more feet of rubber, let off the throttle, looked to my right and saw a S.L.C. cop at the corner!!!!!!! (soiled my pants)
Well he lite my up with his lights and siren, SHOOK his finger at me........turned off his lights and gave me a THUMBS UP!!!!!! Then he turned the corner going the other way.    
 I KNEW I was on my way to jail after the big 'ole burn out. I guess since it was'nt a ricer........It wasw not O.K. but cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More to come....

Quote from: "Namikuz"

And for the BONUS question, I live in Salt Lake City, I moved the needle to the point that the needle extends deepest in the jet,I had to adjust the co./idle mixture screw and idle speed, I picked up 8 mpg and better accelleration. I've had the speedo to 85. (I'm 6'2" and 205. Before I could only get to ~75 on the speedo)

How do you adjust the clip on the needle?

Sorry for the LATE reply,
To lower the needle, you need to remove the carb from the intake and air box, then remove the 4 screws on the black cover on top of the carb, to access the carb slide, THEN you DO NOT LOOSE the spring under the black cover that you just removed. Push the slide out of the carb, the rubber diaphram will come with it, THEN GENTLY push the needle out of the slide, CAREFUL!!! there is a tiny spring under the little white cap snapped in to the top bore of the carb slide. Then you can remove the "E" clip from the needle and place where you would like. Reverse proceedure to reassemble. Mine was as high as possible when I pulled it. (Most of this will make sence as you do it. The little white cap and tiny spring in the slide, top bore, will snap back in place, BUT make sure it is SNAPPED in place or it WILL pop out and you'll do it ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!)
There ya have it!!

 I could hear the Captain now...  WTF WERE YOU THINKING SOLDIER!!!!  I'M GOING TO PT THE SHYT OUTTA YOU AS SOON AS YOU GET OUTTA THE HOSPITAL!!!  YOU'LL WISH YOU DIED IN THAT WRECK MAGGOT!!!    SO YOU GOT A BROKEN ARM?!  WHY DON'T YOU DROP AND GIVE ME 50 ON YOUR BAD ARM!!!

Funny....Sounds like my Sons Capt' too. (Marines)  He(my son) is a crew Chief of some enormous hellicopter.  His Capt' is 5'7" and 160#, My son  6'5" 215#. 32" waist, 48" chest. So he's in a bit of trouble at the moment. A scuffle broke out on the flight deck AND SOMEBODY knocked out the LT and Capt, Capt on accident and the Capt' relizes that too. Nobodys addmitting or telling, 'cept the LT. He's a wussy maggott, Can't start somethine and THEN cry rank....Sheezzzzz. Well my son is being charged with it and ofcourse, brought up on charges and possible Courtmarshall. Hope not, BUT it all comes down to the Capt'.
They sent my son to a shrink,and they are saying that he has NO empathy for his fellow human. Hmm, Well we'll see.
Ya just don't put your hands on someone that's been studing Choy Li Fut for most of his life (and then what the Marines teach you), Ya just DON'T!!!!
The LT is a little bigger than the Capt', and has Small dog syndrome. Story goes...LT grabbed my son and spun him around and well......Sorry Sir, let me help you to the ground......I mean up.....he he.  I've met the Capt and LT a couple of times. Capt' all right.
Babble, babble babble..... Any who....Hope you get the 250 back soon.  And as for the riding in the ICE.   NOOOOOOOOO. Not on the street with studded tires. Steel studs and asphalt and/or cement DO NOT make for lean angles that are survivable. 9 years in Detroit and trying it a few times...All I can say is OOUUCCHH!!!! That smarts!!!!!!! he he, But if you must, GET VIDEO!!!!!  YES VIDEO!!!!!!!!! (it's well worth the noteriaty<sp> you'll recieve)
Later.

Nice play on words there ZukiMan!    
Yes the "Pakmule" is the 250, I know....it's smallbut!!!  I have had it stacked as high as my helmet on one occassion!!!!  Lite stuff though.

Also, you know you get to tell the short story now, right??? :roll:

what seals are they referring to? oil all over the magneto or stator is normal on our bikes, the stator is oil cooled so it is constantly bathed in oil....better get your bike back

I thnk he is refering to the ignition side of things.

OH!!!!!! how could I forget......
Riding my '80 Suzuki Wes Coolie Replica, I saw a brownish cloud crossing the street. CRAPP!!!!!  Swarm of bees. I ducked under my windscreen. Well, I had my Jacket zipped halfway, when I ducked, the collar became a LARGE BEE SCOUPE!!!!!!   YUP, right down my back. MANY, MANY, MANY stings to my neck and back. I ALMOST came to a stop before bailing from the bike.  Minor damage to the bike, trip to the hospital for me. Prednizone and some adrenilin later, I want back for the bike. Legally parked on the street. IT WAS TOWED!!!!!  A vehicle involved in an incident in El Cajon California is subject to impound!!!!!
So a hospital bill and insult to injury, towing and impound.
Ah the GOOD OLD DAYS!!!!
