Re: From NB50 to 1970 VW Bug

First gen of the Vanagon was still aircooled. I had a '84 Vanagon for a daily driver for years. My first bug was a '68 I got while in Ft. Hood back in 1983. I sold it in 2005. I think I put close to 100,000 miles on it. My next VW was a '71 Single Cab, loved it, kicking myself for selling. Then ther...

Re: 1984 Honda Gyro Build

I have all the shrouds and the plastic rear fender. They are just not in the photo. This scooter is probably 99.9% complete!

Just ordered the petcock from my local Honda dealer.

Re: introduction!!!!

Shake, or Bake, whichever one you are today, can you be a little more upbeat? You're bringing the rest of us down. I'd like to see more exclamation points, please. :woot:

J/K. Nice Sprees. I hope to have an assembled one soon.

Re: '84 Honda NN50MD (Gyro) Oil leaks into crank

Welcome to the forums! A few of us here have gyros, but very few. I have had no experience with this but I have a couple thoughts on the matter. My thoughts are I hope it doesn't happen to my Gyro!! I just ordered a petcock so it will be on the road soon.

Someone here will have valuable input soon.

Wow. Seems to me Mr. Wheel has competition for the most eloquent tutorials and postings! I find these to be most informative and entertaining.

Re: Coffee delivery vehicle spree

Re: SOOOO *

Ah yes the Scorpion. I have an EXO400 flat black and I love it. But I want to get a plain half for the scooter. I really don't care what people say about my riding gear. I like it and if you don't, hey, that's up to you. People always asked me why am I wearing my Joe Rocket jacket on my Ruckus, it g...

Re: 1984 Honda Gyro Build

Okay, finally got my parts for the carb. Put that together, then had a good old time getting the carb throat into the airbox tube, which on a Gyro is in the airbox. Then made my oiler cable and attached (probably 1-2MM too long, but I had enough threads to adjust it), put my new gaskets on the petco...

Re: need to vent

I collected EBT for approximately a year about 9 years ago. The ex up and abandoned me and our four kids leaving me high and dry, after dragging me away from my $22 an hour job at Mitsubishi Motors in Illinois, coming to Idaho no less, a right to work state. The kids were 2,3,7 and 9, I was working ...
