Yea I got **** on by a few people because I am still working and how irresponsible that is.

 

Very sad state of affairs Mick....Why would the neighborhood advertise the mental/physical state of their children....Have they no compassion for how they make those poor kids feel!!

 

Called the dealership today and got an update on the bike.

They are still chasing down the knocking in the engine.
They have replaced parts but it did not alleviate the knocking so they are continuing the diagnosis.

I asked if they are closing as ordered for non essential businesses and they are spost to hear from their owner sometime today if they will be remain open.

 

Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. They default to lifters, toss the parts at it, and hope it goes away. That was what happened with me anyway.

 

Ya i figured as much. They said they are going to continue to work at it. Im good with all of that.

 

Yup - toss all the new parts at it you want dealer. As long as one of them ends up fixing the problem.

 

Well, ya knew this had to be next. Two of the companies I own stock in are suspending dividends due to the crisis.

 

Sorry Mick. That really sucks.

But on the bright side of things, I'm hiring cam-boys to help me out. Business is booming (Thank you HDF). I think you would be a star.

 

Carol did a grocery run this morning, picked up some eggs and Cream of Wheat cereal (I don't do sugar coated cereal) for me. Since I'm exposed to kids who's Dad still works, she doesn't come in any more. I'm not judging, she has a couple medical conditions I don't. And I'm loving this home alone business, like a vacation. For a while, anyway. Didn't even have the grandkids, Audrey kept them home yesterday.

Saw Pelosi on a short news clip this morning. WTF does airplane emissions have to do with an emergency health bill? People that voted for her should be ashamed of themselves. Wonder if she's losing votes for the Dems.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of other colors, too, I didn't like some of them.

Pretty snappy past the speed limits, but the one I bought in '73 really surprised me on top end, never could get it past what my old 305 Honda did once. Maybe if I'd dropped it down a gear and took it a couple grand over redline, but it I needed it to get to work... Poor handling bike, but I'll admit I enjoyed it. Would have no interest in having one today, were better bikes soon after it came out. When Suzuki and Kawasaki came out with inline 4s, Honda really took a back seat in performance. Then Yamaha blew them all away with that V-Max. After the 750, I got a new '78 Suzuki 850, driveshaft model. It was still pulling hard 30 mph after the Honda eased off, never did find out the top speed, fairing started bending and let the wimpshield bend back somewhere around 120. That's the bike I did Salt Lake City to Phoenix with in less than 9 hours on the road, little over 700 miles the way I went. National speed limit was 55...

 

Bob, there is no one, nowhere at no time that wants to see me strut myself on camera.
