      groups have some nice bikes and are a good source for parts. In general, the entire social media platforms are all frought with thier far shares of nonsense

                Turned out real nice, Chuck. You should be proud of the work you've done and to receive that as a gift from you and his son is above and beyond generous.

                  Sure is a good thing you didnt have to diagnose any problems with thst bike...LOL. And you must not have read the bible ...you cant lap Suzuki valves. Really???
                  Just ask old Hal for a citation on that " can't lap the valves" fiction. refer him to page 7-21 in the FSM

                  Yeah, a lot of those guys are idiots. My favorite one is the guy " go one size up on the pilot jet and two sizes up on the main jet, because modern fuel" for every carb issue.

                  Great job on The Turd
                  I'm sure it will make him happy

                          Been riding the newly resurrected gemstone a few days now. Tweeked a few things and she is solid as granite. She pulled the ton this morning and had plenty of gumption to spare. She was a beauty queen at work today and had many pictures taken. Made me feel good.

                            Roy was shocked. We didnt tell him it was his at first. We walked around it and he then asked if he could sit on it and i said yes. Bike was on center stand and he climbed on and put his feet up on the pegs and thats when i handed him the title and told him it was his bike. He just kinda froze looking at the gauges then looked at me with a stunned kinda look and asked me....and i quote.."Are you %&&^$$ serious?? You built me this bike????". I told him yes and then he actually asked me if he could take it for a ride. I told him its his and he can do whatever he wants. I dont think it had quite sunk in it was actually his.

                            NOW THE BAD. Per my normal fat fingers messing stuff up and making things hard to do.....i pushed the record button on the camera but not correctly and i didnt get one second of the surprise.

                                Well done, Chuck.
                                Sounds like a great hand-off.
                                I hope the new owner stops by/joins the site.
