Possible there was a gas smell to the oil? Could be a faulty petcock.

He did the frame on my Z1-R in his garage in Scarborough back in the early 80's.

I try to wave to as many people in the oil aisle at Canadian Tire as possible.

This just makes me chuckle...

Saran wrap and duct tape.

I hate to disagree, but to my understanding an SH775 is a series RR as is a compufire. They can be found used on EBay for approx $40. I have one on my GS1100 that replaced the stock shunt RR. So you can swap a shunt for a series RR.

If you do replace the RR look into a Shindengen SH775. They are a series regulator versus the shunt type. Your stator will thank you.

Suzuki. Get some Deoxit and dielectric grease and go to town on your wiring harness connections and grounds.

"Yes sir, no sir", works wonders. Save's having to wait for the escort to secondary and then the time spent there.

I guess you've never had a CBSA officer get confrontational with you, it happens. Doing some investigating and talking with other people in the industry it turns out that they may have been asking about the ArriveCan app. It seems that customs is now asking for cell phone numbers and email...

Had a driver returning from the States yesterday. Got to Canada Customs at the bridge and the officer asks to see his phone. After looking at the phone he proceeded to start giving my guy a hard time because he doesn't have the app installed. Just sayin'...

Riding an old bike, there are three things you need. A shop manual(easy to download for free of the web), a bike specific forum for advise and information and some basic tools. Otherwise, you might as well get a newer bike and just ride. If you have no mechanical skills a vintage bike is not...

There are online options. Try Babbits or PartsOutlaw. Bike Bandit used to be good, but have been having problems lately.

Just be glad you don't drive a tractor trailer. This from an associate... Yesterday we had a guy jacknife near Sherbrooke Pq, the truck and empty trailer was on some grass and was upright. It was winched back onto the highway and both units were towed 10km to a towing yard incredibly the...

If insurance fraud is such a big deal, why is no one doing anything about it? Why is it okay to be lazy and ignorant and just pass the cost along in increased rates? If a business sees an increase in costs they have two options, increase the price they sell their product for or look for ways...

its cold out here, I want back in...

I would also check your oil level before you start it again. If its the petcock, you have a chance of gas getting into the crankcase.

They are putting roundabouts in Brampton, but with a twist. They're installing stadium seating around them some everyone can watch the carnage.

A little bit of balled up tinfoil and some wd40.

I still order parts for a 1981 GS1100 from Suzuki, I think it depends on the popularity of the model.
