We left him last evenig at 630 pm even if he was almost sleeping he was reacting when we spoke to him, and he died when we all gone home. Rest in peace daddy and protect us any where you could be.. picture of him last years at 85. He left 4 kids, 4 grand kids, and 3 grand grand kids and one more on the way.. I wont be too active on gaming in few next days so will be back soon thx all.

Today is the day I celebrate playing Call of Duty 2 for 20 years. How many of you played COD United offensive on line before COD2 came out? How many of you had COD2 the first day it came out for PC like I did? Today is a very special day in my gaming life and less then a year after the game came out I had found the XI server and was a member. Good Times

A man knocked on a house door and asked from a lady "Do you have a vagina". She slams the door in disgust. The next morning she hears a knock at the door and it is the same man and he asks the same question of the woman "Do you have a vagina". She slams the door again. Later that night when her husband gets home she tells him what has happened for the last two days. The husband tells the wife in a loving and concerned voice "Honey I am taking tomorrow off to be home just in case this guy shows up again". The next morning they hear a knock at the door and both run for the door. The husband says to the wife in a whispered voice "Honey, I'm going to hide behind the door and listen and if it is the same guy I want you to answer yes to the question because I want to see where he is going with it". She nods yes to her husband and opens the door. Sure enough the same fellow is standing there and asks the same question. "Do you have vagina"....... "Yes" she says...... The man replies. "Good! Would you mind telling your husband to leave my wife's alone and starts using yours?"

How autumnal?? roasting your nuts on a fire

Bloodeunner reason you had set to bake (to high), yes is a odd feeling when Aunis sweats.

With all the heated accessories available I think you can be warmer on your bike than in your home!! I tried my heated seat once. It felt as though I was going to have an accident in my pants!!

even heated hand grips for us Canadians

Heated seats??? oh my God how bikers have changed?? they'll be getting nail extensions next ??

familiarise yourself with the electronics, as most adjustments are electronic nowadays. common faults come in Suspension lights and heated seats. Can't add much to what the guys above have said. It looks a good clean bike and if it has a good service record it should be ok. Pitting on the chrome on the forks can be covered up easily so have a good look there. Owners manual here

to check chain stretch need to degree valves open / close events to crankshaft degree mark, or remove chain to check slack on flat suface by push / pull chain or see how much banana curve when turn chain on its side in mid air. get a shop manual for engine

strange that post removed or not make it dam AI protecting the sleezy about that frame was arc-welded when rest of bike was mig welded after was in a T-bone collusion for the rear right foot peg support tube was replaced for noticed arc-stick weld after purchase and Rob ment bent frame is not to factory jig spec's for the bike had a issue of turn radius wasn't the same when turning as left was longer than right was shorter when making turns for frame was .375 inch offset by the water test, great for right turn oval track. Legi yes change oil offen and can do a oil analysis to see how much metal in the oil and chain guide material, if a lot need to flush the oil cooler out. drive chain had worn the spockets thickness from side tracking due to miss alignment

I grew up on Japanese bikes. Starting on a honda qa-50 in kindergarten. To my last which was a suzuki gsxr-750 in my late 40's. Never had or rode a bmw. But if they are like Japanese models, then check all gaskets for signs of leaks or gasket replacement. Especially in hard to see places. Hondas in the 80's and 90's head and valve cover gaskets were notoriously leaky. Well if you rode hard, they were. And i would run the piss out of them. Just look for signs of baked oil stains on the motor. The bike pictured looks like it needs rode hard. . So i would ask to see behind the plastic !!! I quit ridding due to fuckin crazy ass drivers in cars. My daughter's boyfriend has a Hayabusa he said I can ride. Maybe at a race track. But not on the street.

Well in theory chains should last the life of the engine, that's why they are used instead of belts, but in real life they do stretch, and tensioners do fail. I have not owned any of these engines, so have no practical experience of them. By nature motorcycle engines are highly stressed, they require oil changes at more frequent intervals than car engines. It may sound excessive but I used to change the oil every 1000-1500 miles, this helps prevent things such as cam chain tensioners working off oil pressure failing early. I do know from friends that these are good engines and give very little trouble, so I'd base my maintenance on how you use them. So assuming you're not racing or crossing the world your cam chains should be lasting at least 50,000 miles without stretching under normal use and same for the tensioners. By now they've been out long enough for there to be plenty of data and feedback from owners for reliability. Caution, remember most people only report when things are wrong, rarely when they're right, don't be scared by some reports. With chains there is always a slight rattle when cold, but this rattle should go at operating temps, people often confuse clutch rattle with timing chain rattle. So to answer your question about the chain tensioner and chain, remembering in theory the chain should last a long time:- 1/. Excessive noise change the tensioner 2/. If that doesn't work change the chain BUT don't forget noise can come from failing bearings, clutch and other engine parts, there should be a way of measuring chain stretch and when to change it. As it's the XR not the RR the engine produces less bhp and is not as stressed, which would be my personal choice of engine.

Yep, must have been the 'Kiss' of death?
