No reason, it just came to me. :)Also this one:http:www.last.fmmusicFront+242_Tragedy+%3EFor+You%3Chttp://popefelix.livejournal.com/539279.html Arcadia lives again!- May 25, 2008 I've been working on Arcadia, on and off, for a couple of weeks now - ever since her new RR came. Today, I finally managed to get her running! I took the cover off of one of the carbs and sprayed some Gumout carb cleaner in. I had some Techron in the tank. I cranked it over and over again a zillion times. I sprayed some starting fluid in the airbox. Just a bunch of random things that eventually conspired to work together. :) But this is more than fixing a motorcycle.One of my big...http://popefelix.livejournal.com/538514.html Pics of my new ride!- May 20, 2008 I finally decided on a bike. Her name is Cyclone, and she is a 1997 Suzuki Bandit 1200 S. I changed her oil for the first time tonight, and it was positively black. I shudder to think how long that oil had been in there. But there's fresh Rotella Synthetic in the engine (topped off with a little conventional Rotella 15W-40), and the old oil will soon be on its way to Blackstone for analysis.Next on the list of maintenance tasks is to change the brake and clutch fluid, then replace the brake.http://popefelix.livejournal.com/537984.html Bikes i'm looking at- May 12, 2008 1990 Suzuki Katana 1100 - wants $2150 for it.1997 Suzuki Bandit 1200 - wants $2800 for it.Honda CB750 - Early 80's from the look of it, but cheap. He's asking $1000.Big Sabre. He's asking $2500.I know those last two are 80's bikes, so I'm weighting them kinda low. Still at least worth considering if the price is right.http://popefelix.livejournal.com/537489.html Anbody want to go to St. Louis tomorrow- May 10, 2008 I want to go to St. Louis tomorrow to potentially buy this VFR. I'd love a lift there, but if nobody bites, I'll get up at the ass-crack of dawn and take the Amtrak.http://popefelix.livejournal.com/537286.html Come to Inksome!- May 9, 2008 I don't know that I'm going to be moving over there, like some LJ users, because I do have a lot of friends here. That said, I'm going to try and post a lot more on Inksome, and it may well be that I post more there than I do here.What's Inksome Inksome is the LJ clone site that used to be Scribblit. twocorpses decided she didn't want to continue with Scribblit, and so I took it over and renamed it to Inksome. So come on over! It's cheap! Only $25 for a year, or $10 for 3 months.http://popefelix.livejournal.com/536744.html The Day's Tweets- May 9, 2008 08:49 Welcome to mysticshell, my first follower from Inksome! 10:10 And now olukemi, another Inksome user. 10:12 Writing unit tests and motorcycle shopping. 11:07 olukemi: go you.
