    Daily Chuckle

    A while back, I came out of the cabin about 5AM to drink some hot tea on the porch and found a 3-4 year old boy in bare feet, a diaper, and a t-shirt standing at the bottom of the steps. Temp was probably 45*F, and we had no idea where he came from. He wouldn't talk, so we called the sheriff...

    Ordered something from Beaumont, Ca, to ship with USPS to Peoria, AZ, 292 miles. Tracking said 2 days. Tracking showed the part was shipped to Seattle, then Billings, then Minneapolis, then Atlanta, then Houston, then Phoenix, and finally Peoria. Took 13 days Man, that's efficiency. 🤪

    What oil should I use with my old B6000

    I run quality 15W40 diesel spec oil in my old B7100. But it is hot here.

    Front left hub is a bit sad - advice needed

    As stated above, that much runout is probably OK; I would try to shim it closer by placing shim washers on the lugs, rather than JB weld. Hardware stores usually have a few different thickness washers on hand, usually depending on material. If not, cut your own out of the appropriate thickness...

    A truck and trailer thread.

    I had a somewhat similar issue with a '99 LHS. Out of nowhere it developed a sort of intermittent thumping noise when braking, but it was accompanied by a brake pedal pulse & you could feel it in the steering wheel also. Turns out a plastic grocery bag had gotten lodged on the caliper/rotor and...

    Do you have to “zero” a new micrometer?

    Admittedly, never owned any 6" Mits. I like all the good stuff, and worked with an old guy who worked for B&S for years, and when he retired, I ended up with a lot of B&S stuff from him. I have had problems with ChiCom crap, even went so far as to drill .45 holes in some of it.

    Hey, I kinda like Mitutoyos.

    Do you have to “zero” a new micrometer?

    Before using the spanner to reset, make absolutely sure that the ends of the reference standard and the anvils of the micrometer are CLEAN. After a solvent wipe down to remove any rust protection, place a CLEAN piece of paper (typing or copier) between the reference and the anvils, close...

    I really need to stay off Craigslist ...., Version II

    Never owned a Trail 90, but always wanted to have one. Rode my parent's CM91 for a while after my '68 CB160 was stolen & wrecked. (1st pic) My first real motorcycle was a '63 CA95- a Honda 150 Baby Dream that I rebuilt frame up. (2nd pic) You can see why this one is kinda nostalgic for me.
