Chuckle..you are correct indeed. Dirt bikers here in California are the same way..I run with them on the way home every Friday night as they leave LA and head up into the Central Valley for the weekends play.

Last time I was in Sturgis..I was servicing machine tools. Lots of firearms manufacturers there these days.

I did make it to Sturgis once in a pickup...with my Pan in the back...last Harley I owned...never again. Then I got smart..and bought a boxer.

Heh, and which engine would that be, V-Rod? If that abortion solved any problems, I'm sure th' stock holders would like to hear about it, heh, heh.

Sounds like a clusterfuck to me, don't know how you can do that commute. I sure as hell couldn't.

Really? I guess it makes sense... major manufacturers?

Yeah, always had a soft spot for those too. How far south of Sacto are ya? I get down that way occasionally in th' summer and would be happy to let ya take my cop bike ('95 FLHTP) for a spin. It might just surprise you, pleasantly so. Just don't turn on Mr. Siren when there's cops around .

Snarl... no, I'm not a cop

I either work..or starve in a reefer box. Not a lot of work that a 52 yr old guy can do around here that will pay the bills. Maint worker in a Nestle or Frito Lay plant maybe. Doing the 9-5 would be really hard to get used to again..and I like my work, and I like being gone from a moderately bad situation at home. Shrug. Though being away from my toys most of the week is bad. And expenses are high.

I understand that Harely is much better now..since they went all Yuppie and all. Im not the sort to want to be part of the Yuppie Harley Lifestyle (tm) with HD on everything I own.

When I was riding every day..the only cleaning device I used..was a putty knife a couple times a year. Maybe a pressure washer, if I hit a coyote, and the smell got too rank. Shrug

G'day, used Cat gasket cement, rubbery orange type stuff. Cleaned thoroughly first and put on both sides of gasket, head and rocker cover. No leaks. Thanks for all responses. Regards, Mac
