Hoping to peel them off tomorrow night. (I may sneak them in the kitchen tonight) I have been busy with tractor parts the past couple weeks. We are still mowing grass here.

No rush at all. I think I have one more mowing here for the season and that's it. I HATE yardwork!

Tires are off and ready. They didn't put up a fuss.

i ya i hate yard work to man, this summer it didnt rain for like a month and a half after i mowed the yard.. it was awsome, then a month and a half later it rained for 19hrs non stop.. 3 days later the yard was shin high and it took another 2 days for the grass to dry out enough to mow..

my back yard is big enough if i really wanted to and could afford it, i could get a mower attachment for my quad and use that.. but ya id be tempted to do some tractor pull type stuff with the mower on it.

I hate yardwork. As long as everything continues to grow back it seems like a waste of time to me. It does not help I live on three manicured acres.

The house and property are for sale. I bought this giant place to make the (ex)wife happy. :twisted:

Didn't work. :roll:

not trying to go off topic here, but i wouldnt sell it. you can do whatever you want, you room for the toys and room to ride the toys.

if i was rich enough id have my yard tore up, all the grass killed so it does not grow back and have astro turf installed.. year round green perfect yard with out ever have to mow, water, weed, feed or anything..

With the amount it costs me to live here I could buy a very nice, new Japanese motorcycle every month.

It's just me and my stray adopted cats in 5,000 square feet.

I can 'afford' it, but it's hard to save and pay spousal support and give to the church and everything else at the same time. I've not been able to put much into my retirement since I started paying the divorce lawyers, etc.

Not complaining mind you, it's an amazing home, but I'd do fine with a small house in the country with a nice heated shop or barn.

Just need a room in the heated shop with a shower. No house needed.

That's OK for us, but I have a nice young lady friend who would likely enjoy more amenities.

Growing up in in IA my neighbors had a house attached to the dairy barn.


I always wanted a 4 car garage with attached house.

We may have set a CR record for thread drift!

Looking forward to the wiring. If it's here tonight I may have it running! I ordered a gel sealed battery, and a Uni sock type airfilter, and constructed battery cables for it.

Still waiting on fork seals I ordered 11 days ago.

Note to all of us.

MOTORCYCLE SUPERSTORE.

Just buy from them. NO PLACE else shipps as fast. Wish I did not order seals from some lesser know dude on eBay.

Got the wiring half done. Trying to figure out the starter button. I think it may not work from water damage. Been soldering and shrink tubing for a long time tonight!

Tomorrow I'll work more on it and find out if Hooper's wiring diagrams are right. HOPEFULLY I'll have the sprocket soon and have this baby on the trails by next weekend.
