Called Washingtoon State Patrol last monday for an apt to get an inspection done due to it being totaled at some time by a stupid insurance agent.
Did I say Stupid? I meant worse, people rebuild dead broken bikes not destroy them the idiots.
Well I called last monday andFinally got a reply back from the WSP, i have an appt set for Friday the 25th.
Cool, a whole month of dragging this bike around in the back of my truck.

It lives, it runs like crap still but it lives none the less.
I am on my way for new plugs right now.
The carbs were so plugged up with rust that its actually a miracle that it does run. Every fuel inlet on each carb had nasty crap plugging them, i cleaned them really good but either the plugs arent firing while installed or the carbs are plugged up again.
It is crazy though that its only running on three cylinders and the throttle is so touchy, i only blipped it a tiny bit and it redlined.

Just for giggles, check out my photobucket album.
I would post the images here via [*img} tags, but it blows up the forum because i cannot size the images down now.

Buying shoes for my wife is like buying sand and taking it to the beach....she's got way too many shoes. I believe she's trying to compete with Imelda Marcos. So that wouldn't work for me!
I've got 3 bikes and in her eyes that's 3 too many! Got any other ideas??

Way too funny!
Originally, she was the one that suggested that I post something on the “shoe bribeâ€â€¦she’ll get a kick out of the response!
Thank you.
