few days later, she bites my head off when i give a spritz of her Vanilla into my work boot to help tame the beast alittle while they dry  saying" thats a 7$ bottle are you nuts?"  im like there is some gell speed stick in the bathroom she could use for 3$ and she wouldnt need to smell like a bowl of Icecream.......

What about Valley Fair?

Bath and Body Works rules!  Exccept I can never decide what to get.  I walk around the store sniffing stuff.  "Mmm, this smells good.  Mmm, this smells good.  Mmm, this smells good.  Damn."  Sorry guys, they don't have an "engine grease" scent hand lotion, or a "v-twin exhaust" scent body scrub.

Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

Bed, Bath, and Beyond always struck me as a very provocative name.  In stark contrast to the actual store.

I only enjoy shopping when I actually need something.

Except for bikes.  I don't think I've actually needed a stinkin' one after the '00 GS.   :(

It could be worse...  There are stores out there that I hate more than Ikea...  At least after Ikea I get to put stuff together...  Yeah.. I said "Get to."  I love doing that. :lol:

The funny thing is that she'd rather have her teeth pulled than go into a moto shop with me.

I'm getting close to convincing her to get a scoot though...  Scooters...  The gateway drug. :lol:

I hate when stuff needs to be put together, I just end up with more stuff that comes apart.  My wife got "me" a spreader thing for "me" to pull behind the mower.  When putting it together, I found out the trimmer didn't have wings.  It only made it half way across the back yard.  Then when everything was done I had to do the walk of shame to pick up the trimmer.   Don't know if it works though, BUT I didn't say any bad words.

No, not a Metro... if it has to be a 50cc chainsaw, make it a Scarabeo with a cute little trunk...

(http://www-museum.unl.edu/research/entomology/graphics/Scarabeo.jpg)


Or an SR50.

The Scarabeo and Mojito are cool.  Except for the fact that they're 2 Stroke... :nono:

Don't you mean 78mm or did Weisco have some of the GPZ pistons in 79?

I thought they were 79's, but they could've been 78's? I'm gonna check now. That will be important for the machinist to know, lol.  :dunno:

You will need to take the pistons to your machinist anyway so he can bore the cylinders to match the new pistons. He needs to measure the pistons.

I was more curious if 79's are available. I have 1 of the original Weisco/V&H pistons and have been looking for another. It took me several months to acquire 2 for the first 555 I built.
