i like it. i agree with it. i’m glad that i found it. i look forward to more. i forgot how funny you are.
give yourself more credit. one can probably get a better perspective of things going on from a motor messenger than from the so-called experts. if someone has to be an expert to understand the writings of these elite professionals, they’re not doing their jobs. rational layman’s terms win every time.
Well, after seeing your blog, I still think you’re a jerk! (Ha Ha) It adds a new dimension to the personality that am just coming to know. Good work, good luck, and looking forward to riding together in the future.

Good to see you’re out there thinkin’ Forest, I agree with Steve however, give yourself some more credit. All us dirtbag messengers (or former messengers turned “writers”) see the world from a level that many only could dream of. Good to hear your kickin’ ass!
Hoping to hear more my man – keep it up!
Hey I’d like to subscribe by e-mail but don’t see the link for that anywhere (or maybe I’m not looking at the right place). Can you please direct me?
Hello,
I think I had that subscribe button turned off, I just reactivated it. Thanks for reading!
I was looking at your photos of the CL175 engine. I have a ’71 and was doing a little work on it. Where did you get the helicoil, or whichever type of thread repair insert it is, that you put in one side of the cylinder heads?
Hi Patrick, thanks for reading. I usually get helicoils at a local “bits and fasteners” shop called Tacoma Screw. I imagine Grainger would also have quite a few sizes and selections. Have fun with your CL!
