Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

'82 Vision, Pearl Orange finish, lots of up-grades!!!

No, doing it without tapping 'em in/out is nigh-on impossible even with 1,000 degrees applied evenly around the hub.  On mine anyway. :CP Apparently either the disk on the spacer slid down the bar when it came out or whoever might've had 'em out last put it on backwards.  Considering I don't think it can come out for the former to happen I'd guess the latter, if so I have no idea how they got the seal back on.  Regardless I wound up putting it in backwards and taking the new bearings out again to fix it one of 'em got toasted since I couldn't line the punch up properly.  Waiting on a new bearing...

Geez, I was freakin' out! I was messing with my carbs and was in a Tech talk--then nothing.

I so can't do this alone.

Glad we're back!

Its Lucky's fault.  His bike quit working and so did the ROV site.  They are connected on some sort of astral plane.
