VERY SHORT STROKES NOW

Springman at $75 need an address from you

Verslagen at $70

Pithymike at $66.60 need an address from you

BobH at $50

Hotrod at $40

SoC donated $35 but does not want a prize

MM Ranch and Todd James tied at $20

Brentoast $10

So I guess I should say it ends Sunday the 11th at 6:00 PM as the tie at the top got all properly busted up.

Unless somebody bumps you, you know where you are right now. Potential winners have been asked for an address.

If you haven't been asked or are at less than $50 you need to log in a bump ASAP.

If you want to bump somebody, do it soon or else it will be TOO LATE.

If you got folks mad with you, bump a little harder since they like to try to mess you up at the last minute out of pure contrary meanness.

I mean really, taking up collections to form a bump consortium is jest plumb mean, really ....... a week at the river resort sorta mean.

Even though this is my first bike and I'm new to riding and this site. I've gained more knowledge just browsing all the forums than I could have hoped for. Keep up the awesome work

Contest is concluded.

All addresses received and posted. Mailman has picked them up, they are on the way.

Awards have left 10/12/20 AM by USPS snail mail. Will come slowly as automatic machinery can't process the little bricks so each sort will hit a small delay.

Springman at $75 wants chain
Verslagen at $70 wants chain

Pithymike at $66.60 wants speedo

Many apologies for my error in not thoroughly checking out the package. I must have gotten into the package years ago and the unit is somewhere in a box at the nephew's house (assuming it made the trip with the rest of the stuff).

No matter, Sigma has an improved unit available.

Shoot me a PM with your current address as I purged all the old address stuff when the contest ended.

Just got the chain in the mail. Have not even opened yet. I expected it to be a lot heavier. Now that I have the chain, does it mean I have to install it?

It weighs 9.6 ounces.

If you have unwrapped it, you already know this ...... there are double zip lock baggies and heavy gear oil around the chain itself.

It is marinating in the oil, jest getting better year by year by year .......

If you have the double hole Slavy or double hole Verslavy tensioner, you have a lot of years before you will need the chain. Savor them, they are vintage years.

I do have the double hole verslavy but it is on the second hole since about 16K miles and I am at 38K+ now. I'll take a look at it when I open it up for the clutch plate and/or clutch push rod.

You do realize on the second hole on a simple Slavy mod the chain will continue to stretch until it eventually hits itself coming and going on the up - down motions, with oil coated hard steel sliding over oil coated hard steel.

Interesting thing, nobody has ever heard this happening ...... yet.

Nor noticed any downside effects of it happening ..... yet.

I am now willing to consider that there aren't any noises or effects on a practical level, really.

You shall eventually find out, not me as I am FSO at this stage of things (should not be riding anything due to medical conditions).

Yep, that is what I have been told and understand, that the chain will continue to stretch. As best I can tell for now, the bike seems to be running just fine other than the slipping clutch (so far only under hard acceleration). I do intend to open it up to fix the slipping clutch and that will give me a chance to see what the chain, tensioner and guide look like. I am really hoping that it all looks just fine.

Oh, pardon my ignorance but what does FSO stand for?

Used by folks who have sold or given away their much beloved Savage at the end of their riding career.

Some can't stand being Savageless and they buy another one and start the process all over again.

But not me, my riding shirt was burned a while ago and I really am done with riding motorcycles, although I do have plenty of fond memories of my Savage on mountain twisties to keep my memory all happy.

I'm glad I got the chance to ride with you at least once. I'm working on building up some good memories for myself. You are already in my memories as the guy that patched me up after the Tail of the Dragon ride. Thanks for that.

Trump stole your first aid kit? Man, what a rascal .......

Seriously, my wife used to ask "What are you guys up to up in those mountains?" as I lifted all her Neosporin and bandages and stuff to restock the first aid kit on my bike.

Once she stripped me naked just to see how many raw places I had from this particular trip ...... I kept telling her I patched up other people too, but she wasn't listening right then.
