I was updating our MSDS books today, when one in particular caught my eye. The sheet for a hand cleaner used in the shop included instructions for what to do if the product comes in contact with skin.
-Taking apart the motor -Porting/Polishing -Taking a dremel to the port on the carb to smooth it out a bit -Reassemble the transaxle -Cleaning up the welds on my pushbar -Making stands so I can sandblast in the snow
You so full of corn and perhaps a bit flaky too. I can totallymilk this one out.
A bit of rye humor? So funny, I can barley type oat this response. You certainly know how to rice to the occasion and there is a grain of truth in what you say.
I posted this in a thread in an HD forum, where people were whining about who does and doesn't wave at whom, and why:

I took my Shovelhead to get emissions tested yesterday. I waited in line for maybe 45 minutes behind two kids who also had bikes. One was in his early to mid twenties and had a 250 Ninja and the other was maybe close to 30 and rode a 1500cc Kaw cruiser. I am 58 years old and was on my '77 FLH.
The three of us passed the time in the Arizona sun talking motorcycles; sharing experiences about maintenance, riding, crashing, etc; and discussing the differences and similarities between our machines. Everyone was respectful, and respectable. There was no animosity, bravado or brand jealousy; just guys talking motorcycles. It was refreshing and gives me hope for the future.
I am not a biker or a Harley guy, I am a motorcycle enthusiast. My bikes don't define me, I choose my bikes.
Oh, and my Shovel passed the AZ emissions test.
I spent all day today, working with my friend on his '76 Ironhead. If I spend the rest of my life working on old motorcycles, I will die a happy man.
