My day was spent watching World Superbikes, F1,finding stuff for the guitar Im building on the bay then watching the GP.
I watched the GP on tv,sadly I couldnt get a flight.The sad realisation that Valentino isnt going to win the title this year has hit me and mad me very sad indeed ! Your boy Roger Lee Hayden did a good job though,especially in qualifying.
Yeah,Ive rediscovered Mr Scary,i'm going through the bay trying to find guitar mags from the 80's and 90's.i've already done that with Vai and Zakk,it's costing a fortune!
I cant believe Stoner,he spent all last year on his arse and this year he's making everyone else look like they're on 250s.Like you said though,you cant knock him he's doing an outstanding job
Let's see... last night this dude out in west Texas IMed me. I've sorta known him for years, and we know a lot of the same people out there, and I kept running into him when I was on the road with the band. His son plays guitar in a band and he has like half... Read More
I assume in about ten years the eyes will need another adjustment, that's been the pattern so far. This is the third operation I've had, the first was at age 17, the second at 27, now at 37.
The ZRX rocker set up is the only one I've seen like it. The cams are still directly over the valves, they just have the rocker's head between themselves and the shims. I can see this set-up helping to avoid tossing shims since there's only downward force applied, no linear. It's not as simple (manufacturing-wise) as shim under bucket nor as sturdy, but it's a dream as far as doing adjustments. having done 2 previous adjustments I'm betting I can knock it out in 2 hours. I'm dreading the valve situation on the R1 though. I guess the new 07's finally gave up on 5 valves per cylinder and went back to 4. It's unreal how many wires, hoses and do-hickeys are packed on top of the engine. & I've never had a bike with downdraft induction before. I'm assuming it's all got to come off.
So you, faithful reader, know that I go walking about every evening around sundown, right? I'm trying to lose the weight that I gained while on prednisone, plus my doctor tells me that I have to lower my blood pressure or she's going to put me on medication for that, too. So I walk.
I started out walking about a mile. Then... Read More
Ahhhhh, I got my MP3 player to work! I spent about four hours on my aunt's computer yesterday, finally got it to flash on the new firmware and added a bunch of Neko Case, Tom Waits, Calexico, Beck, etc. What took the most time was trying to figure out Windows Media Player, which is a big piece of shit!
My MP3 player arrived! I got it for $17.49 (with shipping) on eBay, and this one actually works. The problem is that this computer uses Windows 98se, and Samsung doesn't make a driver for 98se, they expect everyone in the world to have upgraded to XP. Looks like I'm going to have to use my aunt's modern computer to put my music on there (and... Read More
I like to think that I'm moderately intelligent. . . .sometimes. . .but jeez, trying to wrap my brain around what you've just created is impossible. That's absolutely brilliant!
