Funny how we say things without knowing what they mean, eh? I particularly love it when parents use this phrase around kids.

From Wikipedia:

The term is often believed to refer to movie star Errol Flynn. Flynn had a reputation for womanizing, consumption of alcohol and brawling. His freewheeling, hedonistic lifestyle caught up with him in November 1942 when two under-age girls, Betty Hansen and Peggy Satterlee, accused him of statutory rape.[1] A group was organized to support Flynn, named the American Boys' Club for the Defense of Errol Flynn (ABCDEF); its members included William F. Buckley, Jr.[2] The trial took place in January and February 1943, and Flynn was cleared of the charges. According to etymologist Michael Quinion, the incident served to increase Flynn's reputation as a ladies' man, which led to the popular phrase "in like Flynn".[3]

Well....that changes things a LOT! lol I guess he wont be in like Flynn.
I guess he'll just be in like " the guy who didn't ruin his carb parts"!!!lol
(I will have to remember to not say that around old old ladies)

What motorcycle junkyard are you going to?

Most have closed, or have a bad reputation locally (Road Hawk)

Well... being that Road Hawk is the only one in town i have gone to him twice. I know his reputation but went in with really low expectations, found a seat pan and some air box parts. Good prices, and i used honey and not vinegar to get on his good side. Its worked so far.

I may have a complete air box set up for your bike

I'd have to have the old one to compare to it
