			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>DO NOT read this if you have to pee....<br />
<br />
             <br />
<br />
        I went to the Home Depot recently while not being altogether sure that course of action was a wise one.. You see, the previous evening I had prepared and consumed a massive quantity of my patented 'you're definitely going to s**t yourself' roadkill chili. Tasty stuff, albeit hot to the point of being painful, which comes with a written guarantee from me that if you eat it, the next day both of your butt cheeks WILL fall off. <br />
<br />
     <br />
<br />
    Here's the thing. I had awakened that morning, and even after two cups of coffee (and all of you know what I mean) nothing happened.. No 'Watson's Movement 2'. Despite habanera peppers swimming their way through my intestinal tract, I was unable to create the usual morning symphony referred to by my dear wife as 'thunder and lightning'. Knowing that a time of reckoning HAD to come, yet not sure of just when, I bravely set off for the Depot, my quest being paint and supplies to refinish the den.<br />
<br />
     <br />
<br />
    Upon entering the store at first all seemed normal. I selected a cart and began pushing it about dropping items in for purchase. It wasn't until I was at the opposite end of the store from the restrooms that the pain hit me. Oh, don't look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm referring to that 'Uh, Oh, S**t, gotta go' pain that always seems to hit us at the wrong time. The thing is, this pain was different.  The habaneros in the chili from the night before were staging a revolt.<br />
<br />
     <br />
<br />
    In a mad rush for freedom they bullied their way through the small intestines, forcing their way into the large intestines, and before I could take one step in the direction of the restrooms which would bring sweet relief, it happened. The peppers fired a warning shot.<br />
<br />
     <br />
<br />
    There I stood, alone in the paint and stain section, suddenly enveloped in a noxious cloud the likes of which has never before been recorded. I was afraid to move for fear that more of this vile odor might escape me. Slowly, oh so slowly, the pressure seemed to leave the lower part of my body, and I began to move up the aisle and out of it, just as a red aproned clerk turned the corner and asked if I needed any help. I don't know what made me do it, but I stopped to see what his reaction would be to the malodorous effluvium that refused to dissipate. Have you ever been torn in two different directions emotionally? Here's what I mean, and I'm sure some of you at least will be able to relate. I could've warned that poor clerk, but didn't. I simply watched as he walked into an invisible, and apparently indestructible, wall of odor so terrible that all he could do before gathering his senses and running, was to stand there blinking and waving his arms about his head as though trying to ward off angry bees. This, of course, made me feel terrible, but then made me laugh.. .......BIG mistake!!!!!<br />
<br />
     <br />
<br />
    Here's the thing. When you laugh, it's hard to keep things 'clamped down', if you know what I mean. With each new guffaw an explosive issue burst forth from my nether region. Some were so loud and echoing that I was later told a few folks in other aisles had ducked, fearing that someone was robbing the store and firing off a shotgun. Suddenly things were no longer funny.. 'It' was coming, and I raced off through the store towards the restrooms, laying down a cloud the whole way, praying that I'd make it before the grand mal assplosion took place. Luck was on my side. Just in the nick of time I got to the john , began the inevitable 'Oh my God', floating above the toilet seat because my ass is burning SO BAD, purging. One poor fellow walked in while I was in the middle of what is the true meaning of 'Shock and Awe' . He made a gagging sound, and disgustedly said, 'Sonofabitch!, did it smell that bad when you ate it?', then quickly left.<br />
<br />
     <br />
<br />
    Once finished and I left the restroom, reacquired my partially filled cart intending to carry on with my shopping when a store employee approached me and said, 'Sir, you might want to step outside for a few minutes. It appears some prankster set off a stink bomb in the store. The manager is going to run the vent fans on high for a minute or two which ought to take care of the problem.' My smirking of course set me off again, causing residual gases to escape me. The employee took one sniff, jumped back pulling his shirt up to cover his nose and, pointing at me in an accusing manner shouted, 'IT'S YOU!', then ran off returning moments later with the manager. I was unceremoniously escorted from the premises and asked none too kindly not to return. Home again without my supplies, I realized that there was nothing to eat but leftover chili, so I consumed two more bowls. The next day I went to shop at Lowe's. I can't say anymore about that because we are in court over the whole matter.<br />
<br />
     Bastards claim they're going to have to repaint the store..</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>This week has had a lot of meaningful days. Vet's day on the 11th, first and foremost. The 10th is special because, as another poster pointed out, it's the Marines' birthday. But did you know that the 10th is also the 124th anniversary of the first motorcycle's maiden voyage?<br />
<br />
On November 10, 1885, Gottlieb Daimler went for a ride on the first motorcycle, the Einspur, which he is credited with inventing. He took the two-wheeled (ok, so it kinda had training wheels on it, too), one-half horsepowered monster for a quick roll.<br />
<br />
Happy anniversary to the ride! What do you think we should plan for 2010 when it's the memorable 125th?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Once again it has snuck up on us--the time of the year for giving. I know a lot of people feel like they don't have much to give this year, but I think it's actually now more important than ever to pony up for charity. Everyone has been knocked down a notch or two on the economic ladder so there are many more people that need help. A fun way to give to those in need is to do a Toy Run. Those of you in warmer climates still have some on the horizon that you can jump into. In some cases, some of your entrance fee for the ride will go toward toys for kids and in others bringing a toy is the actual entrance fee. A quick Internet search with key words &quot;motorcycle toy run December 2009&quot; turned up several events including ones in Georgia, Oklahoma, and Texas. The following site is a good place to start your search: <a href="http://www.lets-ride.com/event/monthly115.htm" target="_blank">Motorcycle Events Starting in December, 2009</a><br />
Enjoy the spirit of giving and the thrill of riding.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I just finished putting back together my 1948 WL45.<br />
<br />
Engine and tranny were rebuilt by Truett &amp; Osborne in Wichita.<br />
<br />
My problem is that the bike does not want to start.<br />
<br />
I have fuel, air, and a weak spark.<br />
<br />
I was using the original 1948 coil, so I thought that might be the issue.<br />
<br />
So I bought a new VTwin coil, hooked it up, and the spark is stronger now.<br />
<br />
But I still cannot seem to get the bike to start!  It kicks over, and makes a popping sound, but does not run.  A few days ago I was able to get it to run, but it ran rough (running on one cylinder with the weak spark issue)<br />
<br />
I checked the wires to the coil taps with my multimeter today...I get 5.7VDC on the left side tap on the coil, and 0 VDC on the right side.  When i pull the spark plug wire off the rear plug, i get a decent spark when i kick it over.<br />
<br />
But it does not want to start, choke or no choke, advance, 1/2 advance, no advance, etc.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any idea what could be keeping it from starting?<br />
A few days ago i was able to start it after 10 mins of constant kicking!<br />
<br />
Wore myself out just getting it to start and run (horribly) around the block!<br />
When it was running, it seemed to run on one cylinder until I got up to speed (2nd gear) then it ran on both cylinders, although somewhat rough.  But it seemed very strong running on the rare occasion that I held the throttle open just right....<br />
<br />
Now I can't even get the bike started at all.<br />
<br />
I am running the stock vented HD battery (6VDC/22Ah) and I have plenty of charge (gen/oil lights and headlight/taillight light up VERY bright!)<br />
<br />
Generator and relay are rebuilt, and are working fine.<br />
<br />
Starting procedure is 1/2 to full choke, with ignition OFF, kick it a few times, then switch ignition on (first click clockwise), set spark advance to 1/2 on the handlebar, twist throttle about 20%, and kick it over.<br />
<br />
Bike kicks over, but never starts now!<br />
<br />
I have switched the two black coil wires back and forth (hot wire switched from left tap, then to right tap, etc) and still no starting<br />
<br />
I have switched form oriiginal coil to aftermarket coil, still won't start.<br />
<br />
I have used original HD plug wires (copper heads), and also tried the aftermarket plug wires that came with the new coil...still no starting.<br />
<br />
Can anyone offer any advice??  This is driving me NUTS, as I the weather is changing (for the worse) and I reall want to get a few test rides in before the first big snow here in Kansas!<br />
<br />
not to mention I have spent about $1300 on getting the bike &quot;running&quot; with T&amp;O, and it still won't run!<br />
<br />
I know the bike is a strong runner, just from what i felt when it ran rough.<br />
<br />
Any advice would be appreciated!!!<br />
<br />
i can send pics also to anyone who is willing to help me, showing my setup, advance, carb (M-51), coil, battery, etc.<br />
<br />
Please email me directly at:  <a href="mailto:harleykids@aol.com">harleykids@aol.com</a><br />
<br />
thanks!<br />
<br />
Jason</div>

&gt;<br />
&gt;    My wife, Cindy, is 32 years old and has just been diagnosed with<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; stage 4 Cervical cancer.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt;  Her chances for survival are very slim.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt;  She was pregnant with our s econd child and had miscarried recently<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; at 3 Months; and now we know why.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt;  This is a request for you to forward this e-mail to everyone you<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; know asking for prayer.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt;  The more people that pray for her to be healed, the better.<br />

&gt;<br />
&gt; CINDY HOGMAN And the removal of all cancer from her body, so she may <br />
&gt; enjoy<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt;  all that life has to offer, and to continue to be the wonderful<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; mother to our 5-year-old son Michael.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt;  The power of Prayer is unsurpassed. I want the whole world to have<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt; her in their prayers the next few weeks.<br />
&gt;<br />
&gt;  God will hear our cry. Please do not be offended by my plea. This is<br />

Except for one  semester in college when jobs were scarce, and a six-month period when I  was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I  was 18.  Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour  weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years.  I make a  good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get  where I am..  Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and  I'm tired.  Very tired.<br />
<br />

I'm tired of being told the government will take the  money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy or  stupid to earn it.<br />
<br />

But  if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off,  $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing  Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community  Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own  money.<br />

In thirty years, if they get their  way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe , the freedom of  the press of China , the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for  Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela .   Won't multiculturalism be beautiful?<br />

<br />

I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or  someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less  arrogantly of an all-knowing government.<br />

Wonder why people  are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News?  Get a  clue.  I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove  me to his camp in 2004.<br />

My wife and I live in a two-bedroom  apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs.  We also own a  three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live.  Our  carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than  Gore, you're green enough.<br />

Did a giant germ rush out of a  dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they  tried to fight it off?  I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay,  but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs.  And I'm tired of  harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I  never tried marijuana.<br />
<br />
</font></font></font></font></font><b><font face="Arial"><font size="5"><font color="red"><font color="red"><font face="Arial"><b>I'm tired</b></font></font></font></font></font></b><font face="Arial"><font size="5"><font color="black"><font color="black"><font face="Arial"> of  illegal aliens being called &quot;undocumented workers,&quot; especially the ones  who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime.  What's  next?  Calling drug dealers &quot;Undocumented Pharmacists&quot;?  And,  no, I'm not against Hispanics.  Most of them are Catholic, and it's  been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my  religion.  I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic  person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is  self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for  three years in our military... Those are the citizens we  need.<br />

They and their kids can sit at home,  never having to make split-second decisions under life and death  circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves.  Do bad  things happen in war?  You bet.  Do our troops sometimes  misbehave?  Sure.  Does this compare with the atrocities that  were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still  are?  Not even close.  So here's the deal..  I'll let myself  be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on  terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be  subject to captivity by the Muslims who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl  in Pakistan , or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col.  William Higgins in Lebanon , or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al  Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq , or the Muslims who cut off  the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia , because the girls were  Christian.  Then we'll compare notes.  British and American  soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help  and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Speaking with a group of MSF RiderCoaches recently brought topic of mandatory safety courses for motorcycle riders. I know some states are looking into such action and one or two have already put laws like this into place. While I feel it is a good thing, I can't help to think it will steer away riders from going through the process and ride without a license - which many already do.<br />
<br />
With that how does one address all the un licensed riders out there, and there are far morethan anybody would think. If the goal is to educate riders for better skills, how does one address the non licensed issue?<br />
<br />
Then finally, what about all those whom already have their licenses? Granted a large majority would benefit from any kind of skills education but how do you get them to do it on a mandatory condition? Do states notify all and require them to complete a course to renew their endorsements? How many would just say <i>screw that</i> and ride without?<br />
<br />
Yes I do believe that having a requirement for new riders to complete a course of some kind prior to receiving their license may be a good thing, but there are tons of riders out there that would gain important skills to keep their arses safer and while education is key to helping prevent conflicts, how do you make them do it? Developing some sort of mandatory program for riders just may backfire and raise the amount of non licensed riders.<br />
<br />
What do you think?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I am feeling humbled today. Putting on this uniform on this day reminds me that I am standing in the shadow of giants... folks that have sacrificed far more than I  in defense of liberty.  Some of those folks are on this forum...<br />
<br />
So thank you. Thank you for my unfettered right to speak my mind.  Thank you for my right to pray to the Lord my God.  Thank you for my right to complain.  Thank you for my right to protect me and mine.  Thank you for my right to worship how, when, and where I choose.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your commitment and sacrifice to something greater than yourself so that I and my loved ones can live free.<br />
 <br />
Thank you, veterans... and may God bless you.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>There is a new encyclopedia (or &quot;wiki&quot;) of welding and gases terms online sponsored by the Gases and Welding Distributors Association (GAWDA). It's called <a href="http://GAWDAwiki. http://www.gawdawiki.org/gwiki/index.php/Main_Page" target="_blank">GAWDAwiki</a>. <br />
The wiki is interactive, which means you can use it as a reference, add new terms and definitions, or add more information to existing terms. Please take a look at it and see what you think. It's a great tool for beginners and pros!</div>
