All the Buells I've seen here in the Dallas area (3 of them) had bone

Maybe we could rig one of those toy sound chips, but instead of
the usual sound effects (e.g., breaking glass, crowing rooster) have
one that wheezes "Passing on your left" in a feeble voice...


(Mind you, when I'm walking or riding on a trail, and an overtaking
bicyclist issues this warning, I take it as an extreme courtesy,
all joking aside.)

Howdy folks,

A friend of mine just bought a '76(?) Benelli Sei and he's having a 
bit of trouble finding parts for it. Specifically, he needs a timing
chain tensioner, timing chain guide, and wiring harness, among other
things.

Any suggestions as to sources of parts, including mail-order outfits 
or individuals who would be willing to ship UPS, will be appreciated. 
I'll also forward the names of the businesses to the DoD Yellow Pages.

Thanks a bunch

To put it bluntly Mr. DeVerona, what a bunch of bullshit.  Even more to 
the point, how the fuck would you know, since by your signature you do
not even ride a Harley.  God I love self appointed experts telling us 
how things are because they "know" what the situation "really" is.

I missed the start of this thread, but I'm going to guess why 
you are having trouble getting the rings to seat.  The cylinder 
bores are not round, and your new rings are.  It is not a good 
practice to install new rings in a 4 cycle engine without 
boring and honing the cylinder.  If your engine has got lousy 
enough compression for you to tear it down, then there certainly 
is wear of the cylinder, pistons and rings.  If you're too cheap 
to do the job right, don't even tear it down.  My rings always 
seat.

If only a "small number" of people wanted HD cruisers, Harley wouldn't
be controlling the over 750cc market.  You'd be surprised how many of 
us "not-so-well-funded" types are saving our pennies to buy a Hog.

It's not a question of technology.  We're dealing with
a) style
b) image
c) personal taste.

Quite a few folks like cruisers because of how they ride, believe it or
not.  For some of us who aren't into scraping our knees, the torquey
engine and solid feel of a Harley just fits.  It may be true that the
Japanese cruisers outperform Harleys, but the market shows they're way
behind in categories a & b.  

On the other hand, I'd love to get my hands on a Buell.  The combination
of torque & handling must be great to ride.

Of course he did... and they're in ALL CAPS to drive home his point...
It's call IRONY (don't worry you'll cover it in metallurgy).

I personally think that this thread is pretty damn funny all by itself.

Look, for all you readers out there, the real reason we aren't metric
is that we've got the world's largest single market all by ourselves and we don't
have sufficient market pressure to force the change.  And that folks, 
is just the way it works... we're happy with the system we use (trust me, the number of
measures in common usage is fairly small) and the system does make some sense (1 foot really
is just about 1 foot, toe to heel).

So in summary boys and girls:
	we aren't metric because we can afford not to be and are a bunch of
greedy self-centered bastards who don't give a fuck if you have to relabel goods for our
market or even build cars with the steering wheel on the left when you don't use them at
home.  We aren't good neighbors (I don't mean neighboUrs). But so what? Right now we
own the playground... give our economy a few more years to skid and THEN we'll
kiss your metrics asses OK?

NOW CAN THIS GROUP GET BACK TO SOME GOD DAMNED JOKES FOR A CHANGE?!?!?!?!?

	This thread shouldn't be in humor.
Having said that, An acre is 1 chain x 1 furlong =22 yards by 220 yards, or 
1/640 sq. mile. 
	To the delight of certain prattling fools who dwell in the dungeons 
of Brunel University, this seems absurdly quaint, but, if you think back to 
basics, it is much easier to develop a reliable system on the 1/2, 1/4,1/8, 
method of dividing the whole than it is to use the 1/10, 1/100, 1000.
