    I'm not getting that warm and fuzzy Christmas spirit I so expected from this thread. Time to change the subject perhaps?

    The thread was just some poor slob from Wisconsin saying hello. Good grief.

    Welcome to the forum jesusbuiltmyvfr. I really dont care who built your VFR. Good to have you. The interwebz makes people insane. :tinfoil3:

    I had a couple RDs back in the day, fun motorcycles.

    Yes, welcome jesusbuiltmyvfr! You're A-OK with me! My daughter just moved to Beaver Dam (and no smartass jokes from the peanut gallery - OK, maybe a few), WI a couple of months ago, and she tells me Wisconsonians (is that a word?) are wonderful peeps! I'll be visiting her in a few months. Where exactly are you located in Wisconsin?

    OMG! is Jesusbike asking Havcar to turn over and show his other cheeks? With this as yet unsigned legislation on "don't ask, don't tell, there may be a new medal in the works.

    We may be hearing from ol' KC on this one..

    Randy has found Jesus. It's about time someone did.

    I'm getting all religious and spiritual and stuff. This thread reminded me of an old causcasian redneck (redundant, I know) spiritual hymn we used to sing in church when I was just a boy. I think you all know it so, come on and sing along...

    I don't care if it rains or freezes
    'Long as I got my plastic Jesus
    Riding on the dashboard of my car
    Through my trials and tribulations
    And my travels through the nations
    With my plastic Jesus I'll go far

    Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
    Riding on the dashboard of my car
    I'm afraid He'll have to go
    His magnets ruin my radio
    And if I have a wreck He'll leave a scar

    Riding down a thoroughfare
    With His nose up in the air
    A wreck may be ahead, but He don't mind
    Trouble coming He don't see
    He just keeps His eye on me
    And any other thing that lies behind

    Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
    Riding on the dashboard of my car
    Though the sunshine on His back
    Make Him peel, chip and crack
    A little patching keeps Him up to par

    When I'm in a traffic jam
    He don't care if I say "damn"
    I can let all my curses roll
    Plastic Jesus doesn't hear
    'Cause he has a plastic ear
    The man who invented plastic saved my soul

    Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
    Riding on the dashboard of my car
    Once His robe was snowy white
    Now it isn't quite so bright
    Stained by the smoke of my cigar

    If I weave around at night
    And policemen think I'm tight
    They never find my bottle, though they ask
    Plastic Jesus shelters me
    For His head comes off, you see
    He's hollow, and I use Him for a flask

    Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
    Riding on the dashboard of my car
    Ride with me and have a dram
    Of the blood of the Lamb
    Plastic Jesus is a holy bar

    Wow, all of you have really made me laugh. I apologize to everyone who has read my little rant, especially havcar. V-4bear is hillarious. Funny little jingle knife. Badbilly is funny too, and not so bad. And I still think we should check Randy's bloodstream for plankton. I sincerely apologize to all. Is it possible to change your screen name, I am thinking maybe dropping the J. Or dropping the first s. It just opens up all kinds of things that really nobody wants to discuss, even myself on here. I'm here for VFRs, not to make enemies. I have some tips and tricks for the vfrs brought over from my moto days, some that I have not seen on here yet. Yesterday I changed my sparkplugs, and there was a coat of varnish on the threads. I think it was a good idea to do that and start fresh. I also ziptied the plug boots in the groove to keep out moisture and dirt, something I used to do on all my dirtbikes. Very easy. And I will be wiring up my handgrips tonight to keep them in place. They have already started sliding out on me. Grooves built right in just for that. Just simple stuff, but useful. I would like to post some pics of what I am doing, but dont know how to shrink the damn pictures. Anyone? This is my first time on any kind of forum, but I chose this because bikes have always been a part of my life, but I dont know much about navigating around these things and this and that. Next week(I think), I will be painting my exhaust pipes with pj1, so I will let everyone who is interested know how that turns out. And on and on. And no, I dont know how to end this thread. And for "knife", I am located a few miles north of Wisconsin Dells, I love meeting new people, especially people who ride. Come on up for some bacon double cheeseburgers. In all seriousness, please someone tell me how to change my screen name. peace and love

    I hope folks noticed that I wasn't involved in any hurt feelings this time

    send a private message to Reg71 and ask to have your name changed. Creating new accounts is frowned upon by the upper management.

    Kawi Triple....Those are some reeeeeeeeeeeally fast bikes back in the day and even today...can make a serious drag bike from one of those...The WIDOMAKER they were called because the frames were garbage and the power of the bike would often twist the frame....anyways...I digress and welcome to the board...

    ...and the brakes sucked, the suspension sucked, the tires sucked, but oh Jesus, what an engine! They still race them in vintage class. Trackmaster frames ect.. This may be folklore but I have heard that the first few hundred that came into ports had 80 hp..

    Both of you are right, on all acounts. But it was a quick bike, all I cared about then. Would bring up the front end with little effort in low gear. The RD was no slouch either, the GT was a pooch.

    Haaahahahaa, we're all insane...I had one of those 500 triples as well. We used to call them Flexi-Flyers. And yeah, they stopped in direct proportion to the grip strength in your right hand. Ate CB750s for breakfast heheheheheeee. :pout: Now I feel old.

    I'm glad you decided to stay around J......

    I must warn you, this is the dark side and you will be sorely tried on many occasions, but now it is the journey you need be concerned with, not the destination.

    Pay no attention to TinkerWstuff, he is our latest curmudgeon and fills the role admirably. Pray you do not run afoul of Norcalboy.

    My role is court jester :joker:

    Have fun.

    I owned an RD 400, sold it for $300.00 CAD.
    I also came upon an RG500 that was once ridden by Miguel Duhamel. It wasn't even supposed to have a title /ownership but it did. Guy wanted $20k for it...Race ready RG500 YEEEEEEEEEE!!!

    Not to worry Tink we all take our turns here as resident curmudgeon, its just that Ncb keeps telling me Im a poor fit, so I have evolved the role to court jester.

    I must tell you though, NCB is without peer here in the curmudgeon role, so you have large shoes to fill.

    Not only that, he's all knowed up on 6th gen tech shit and has one awesome 6th gen.

    Here's one for ya.

    put the question directly to myself: "Suppose that all your objects in life were realized; that all the changes in institutions and opinions which you are looking forward to, could be completely effected at this very instant: would this be a great joy and happiness to you?" And an irrepressible self-consciousness distinctly answered, "No!" ~John Stuart Mill, Autobiography, 1909
