      Hiya, Scott!

      I didn't know if you even came here any more, had your bike, or what. I remember you had concerns about riding and a new kid at the time.

      Good to hear from you! Don't be such a stranger. You need to post up on here and teach some of these young hooligans how to properly build a custom scoot.
      Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

      You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

      '82 XJ1100 Completely stock fixer-upper

        I'm still kickin'. I got a random email from the "bike photos" thread then figured I'd surprise ya! I've got three little girls now. Built and sold a badass Yamaha Warrior 1700. Still have the XS but she's under quite a layer of dust! This spring might be time to blow off the cobwebs and tune the carbs. 6-7 years is almost long enough to forget how bad that sucks!

          Piece of cake... if you don't knock the fuel line off synching them on a hot bike. Just, uh.... keep a fire extinguisher handy.

                Almost sounds like a good reason to go to OKC and drink someone else's beer.

                  Heck, last time I went over to his place and drank his beer, he didn't talk to me for 6 years. Thinkin' I should just go ahead and bring my own if the invite happens again.
