Lancer has until May, 2011 to figure it all out before he gets his yearly gentle reminder to get ready for the next Dragon Run.

Until then, drain the gas out of his tank, unhook all the electrodes and sparky machines and gently tug the sheet up over over the operating table and let poor 'ol tormented REX rest in peace.

After all, he stirred for longer this time than he ever has before.

He actually got out of the lab for a few hours and managed to kill a couple of peasants and knocked over a hovel or two before his imbued electrical fluid sparky stuff all ran out on him.

Cheesy

It could be worse you know -- he could have actually gotten way up there, 20 miles deep into the Skyway before his screws came undone ....

==============

AND, if you guys can't resist your remote control fiddling with Lancer's creation, let me remind you of what can happen simply because you can't see what's goin' on .....

=================

And lastly, for Lancer -- quiet dignity and grace, that's the ticket !!!

It will start, with some difficulty at times;will rev pretty good most of the time but will cut out periodically; and will cough/sputter back through the carb.

I had some similar symptoms to that when the 2-wire connector at the clutch lever cut-out got dirty... If yours is still in the circuit, try unplugging and cleaning the contacts...

Hello Dragon tail riders,

I have been off the computer for awhile because the Wed. after getting home from the dragon ride I had a catarate(sp?) removed from my right eye and the same thing on the left eye the next Wed.

The good news is I now have 20/15 right eye, and 20/25 left eye vision. No more @#$^% glasses!

Just think how much better I could have done on the dragon if I could have been able to see that good, and wasn't running a rear tire with threads showing Grin

........Or maybe I might have scared the $h!+ out of myself

Next year I will be able to visually inspect the bike and tires better before the ride and maybe not hold everone up for my repairs.

Thanks again for everyones help and understanding. Also for making
yamakid feel like "one of the guy's, he is still talking about how much fun he had

well Toymaker's Vulcan is all repaired. And even got the color changed. After 3 weeks, all the repair parts have arrived and I finished the repairs this morning. Even was able to put some new chrome on that wasn't there is the first place. Took the bike out for a 30 minute cruise and it rides like new. Now I'm ready for another ride.

Toymaker that's almost to "Perty" to ride have you got another bike just to ride ?

Does the Parkway have to be a weekend or is "All Days the same? "

Lancer ??? What the prognoices on REX befor Toymaker has to go back to School ?

I'm Retired "Have oblagations on Mondays, Wensdays, and Sundays --- but can leave them for a week"
The main thing --- The __BOSS__ is OK with another "RIDE".
