Damn it. I just changed all 3 holes. When the water resides in my part of town, I'll have to check and repack the muffler bearings and replace the blinker fluid. The blinker fluid has to have water in it by now. While I'm at it, might as well check the knuter valve to make sure its valving like it should.

it started.


he told her the goofin valve was stuck.

While detailing my bike I noticed some surface rust on my Johnson rods! Any advice?

I was gonna adjust my muffler bearing but all I had was a metric crescent wrench and it just wouldn't quite fit.

While working on helicopters in Nam we used to send FNGs after a bucket of rotor wash.

Don't forget to check the 710 fluid in your cage. Its under the hood.

When I was in the Navy we used to send new guys around looking for Fallopian tubes. (Yes this was way back in the vacuum tube days.)

I use official HD Air ™, so I never have to worry.

Since they are yours, wash as fast and often as you can until the rust is gone.
