HELLLLLOOOOOOO!!!!! Long time, No See!

[ProfessorRex]

Hey guys (and the token girl or two),

After a long sebatical (about a year now) I'm back on the boards.  I think they call that a re-lapse, or recidivism.  I thought I had the vision addition kicked, but no... I just moved, and in moving I pulled my '83 (the one I was on when I got hit by a car) and my '82 (the parts bike that was in a flood in southern Louisiana) out of the old garrage and moved them the my new locale...

Long story short, my girlfriend (we're moving in together) broke my balls about not fixing the '83, and for not riding motorcycles -love this girl  ::) - (I haven't really riden post car-hit-me-time).

SOOOOOO.... I'm rebuilding the '83.  Pics to follow.

PS: Back story for new members : I was hit hard by a car on Oct 17th 2006, a few months in the hospital, 6 months of PT, then after another surgery, and another year of PT, I'm back to about 75% capacity

Hey Rex! Welcome back and glad you are all healed.

Hi Rex!  Glad you're back.   ;D  You DO need to get your 83 fixed so you can join the rapidly growing COROV rides!  Hope to see you soon

Inane,
         We're Visionaries, tease him now! What kind of tractor?

Professor Rex,
                   Oil that hurricane motor's cylinders if you haven't yet. Turn it over with the crank bolt and a 9/16th socket in the YICS emblem cover, counterclockwise.

That 'hurricane' bike has been sitting for years already.  Turning the engine over at this point may be impossible.  Some Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders still wouldn't hurt anything.  It's the bike Lucky helped him get after he was hit by the car a couple years ago.  The bike is meant to help get Rex's once pristine 83 back on the road.  Tractor is not a tractor, but my 2nd Vision.  Rex can tell the story if - or when he wants to.

Just figured I'd clarify things a little more.

yo...what up dogg

[ProfessorRex]

Sooo...

Hurricane bike: will be donating it's crank case, and left side cover to my otherwise intact '83 engine.  And, of course several other miscellaneous parts.  The tank and some other parts are going to H₂O to cover:

Tractor Bike: H₂O's formerly freshly restored '82 painted a beautiful John Deere green, which he was kind enough to allow me to ride on the 25th anniversary adventure, and I was kind enough to lay down in some gravel... lots of gravel, and a burm, made mostly of rocks... Long story short, I'm glad I have a lot of parts, and really glad that H₂O likes rebuilding visions.

Pics of the Hurricane bike and uh... the '83 (I need a name) Will follow shortly in another thread.

Renatus Equus! (rebuild the horse)
