Whisper? 

Thank you.

[peteGS]

Plumbing the depths of LPW... yeah that sounds about right!

Wish this bloody eBay seller would call so I can pick up my carbs and cams!!

maybe a repost,..saw this earlier


'What the ad says What it really means
Asking $16,000, make offer Someone please give me $10,000
$11,500 firm Someone please give me $10,000
$8,000 firm, no low-ball offers Short of selling a kidney, I have no means of paying off the $7,500 balance on the loan on this $5,000 bike
OBO Just give me two thirds of what I'm asking, please God
Ran when I parked it, needs carb work The 10-year-old gasoline in there has turned to mica
Needs battery I don't have $100 for a new battery, and even if I did, putting in a new battery would only reveal that it won't start
Turns over, good compression At least the damn thing hasn't seized and I'm gambling you won't show up with a compression gauge
Must go this weekend I'm six months late on the rent and the eviction proceedings are starting to get serious
No low ballers The payoff on the loan is way more than it's worth so I have to get an inflated price
Wife says it has to go I haven't ridden it in five years, but I'm the kind of person who feels better blaming someone else
No time to ride I drive my car every day because it has air conditioning and I'm lazy
Over $5,000 in extras I wasted a lot of money on farkles nobody wants
Extended swingarm, lowered Clutch is fried from playing Rickey Dragracer at every light and the bike now handles like a garbage truck
Aftermarket exhaust, sounds great Obnoxiously loud, guaranteed to tick off your neighbors
Stock exhaust but I removed the baffles, sounds great Obnoxiously loud would be an improvement; also, runs poorly
Custom paint Been crashed
Fresh paint Been crashed
New plastics Been crashed
Lots of new parts Been crashed
Cosmetic flaws typical for its age Been crashed
Converted to a streetfighter Been crashed
Salvage title Been crashed really bad
Barn fresh Mice ate holes in the air filter
Barn find Damn, I forgot this junk was still out here
Classic style Looks dated
Instant classic It's old
Collectible I know, because it's been collecting dust in my garage for 15 years while I've been hoping it would go up in value
Good beginner bike Underpowered
Good first bike My only hope of unloading this junk is finding an uninformed and gullible buyer
Mechanic's special Too many problems to list
Needs a little TLC You probably won't make it home from the sale without breaking down
Sold "as is" If you make it out of my driveway on this thing, I don't ever want to see you or hear from you again for any reason'

LOL

[Malfruen]

when ye lass arrives??  arrrg eets piraht frideey errr,....

Aye, scabbie eyed landlubber. Thats when the wench pulls into port!

:end pirate talk:

Before I get into trouble for saying "plunder", "her" and "booty" in the same sentence. 

[Electrojake]

Aye, a pirate you say?

[peteGS]

Looks like you forgot to put your face on EJ... 

GS500 carbs and cams on the work bench... carbs look clean as much as I can tell except I can't get the cheese head float bowl screws out 

I see an impact driver and some fresh new stainless steel allen heads in my future... and possibly a throttle cable as I have a feeling the stock 450 cable will be a bit short...

Um, PeteGS. . .
We need photos ! !

[peteGS]

Errr yeah I have some still on my phone... I promise to post some soon!!!!

The dremel and impact driver worked a charm, carbs are nice an clean inside with no gunked up fuel anywhere to be seen and the jets look nice and clear 

[Janx101]

Tic toc Pete!  ... did you not put another 20cents in your phone? Lol. .. the gunzels will be howling at image lack soon :p

[Electrojake]

the gunzels will be howling at image lack soon :p

Not to worry, I got this covered. . .



And this. . .

 

[peteGS]

Wow I wish my carbs were that clean! 

Here ya' go...

[Electrojake]

S w e e t !
Now were talking moto guts. 

[Janx101]

Preparing bike for sale :/

[cbrfxr67]

[peteGS]

What the??? Why Janx!!??

Got jets ordered yesterday, and both those and the air filters should be being express posted, so hopefully they all rock up today and I can do the risky move of a mid week carb swap tonight.

I'm going to book in Friday off work as well so I can get a service done and swap the cams out as well and hopefully get time for a carb sync and test ride or two.

[Janx101]

Umm #1 haven't had time to ride in most of a year and this year isn't looking good either!
#2 I need the $ to use elsewhere to get myself out of a. .. not so much a hole but nearly a chasm!
#3 I'd rather have someone using it and loving it!
#4 I have itchy undies about the MT09 Tracer for the future,  which I will be able to finance later this year probably and can only really have one bike! Space wise

Its one of those things I wish I didn't HAVE to do but it's necessary at the moment :/

[Electrojake]

No... Wrong thread. 

[cbrfxr67]

breaking down stereotypes

[peteGS]

Aaaah got ya' Janxy! Bugger but I understand... sucky...





It started and ran but only for 5 seconds coz it was 10:30pm... should be an interesting commute this morning...

[Electrojake]

Ah, ha-ha-ha... I can link to his photobucket page and bask in all the carb photos now.
This is wonderful.
I can make carburetor Screen savers! Tee shirts! Greeting cards!
