little dave

WOW i miss all the fun stuff by being over here in the states. our resident mistress cracks the whip and a line forms at her tits.... missed my only chance to say " aww come on goff, give a yank a yank...." none the less, i want to make a note: I just changed out a wayy over worn rear sprocket the other day. you know like when the teeth start to wear to a forward pitch? anyhow,I will post a pic. the reason i mention this is that it looked remarkably like a saw blade, jagged microchips on the ends of the teeth abound, so while your minds are mostly thinking of a well maintained chain and sprocket, i can only guess that the fellow who lost his fingers, probably had a nasty sprocket like mine. after all, it looked like safety want top of his list. not that it made any real difference, as the end result would be the same new or old sprocket. NOW, moving on to mister "just me" seriously.. I do not think i have seen a more narcissistic name choice, but i have to admit that at least its accurate. looking at his list of rides im not surprised to see that he is a gixxer rider. it truly is showing out loud in his posts in this thread without it being said. my point is (i guess) that we are all friends here, and we are capable of being forgiven and accepted (lets not bring up my first post here at YOC.. it was awful) but i moved on and play nice now. so "just me" unless you want to be chased to the village square with pitchforks and torches, I might suggest that you play nice until we get to know you. while you might argue that we should play nice all the time,I will have to say that we do. it wasn't until you started being a twit that the claws came out. if you continue to be confrontational, you can expect more of the same from everybody here, we are friends and protect each other. and as you run through the village, look for me. ill be selling the pitchforks and torches.

foamy, what you need is one of these: the important thing here is that, uh, you ask me what kinda car it is. - Uh uh, what kinda car do ya' got? - I've got a bitchin' Camaro... (1.2.3.4) Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro! I ran over my neighbors Bitchin' Camaro, Bitchin' Camaro! Now I'm in all the papers

are those "b" cups they got?

thank you all for your advice. I drove it for one more day just to get to work and to stop at the local corporate assed lameo bike shop (god i hate doing business with those people there, they are so into making sales that they offered to get me into a new bike even tho i said that i didnt have a job. (i said that just to get them off my back)) anyhow, i noticed i was missing another tooth when i was done there, so i limped it home and parked it. new sprocket 25 bucks. chain was 15 and it didnt need cutting. so i paid an extra 30 dollars for rapid shiping. while i wait, i pulled the petrol tank and went about fixing some pinhole leaks. in my shop i have a phone ringer that is like one in the stereotypical serial killer death basement. and after airing out the tank i was starting to solder over the pinholes and wouldnt you know that the exact moment that i touched the soldering iron to the tank that damn phone rang. I almost crapped my pants! anyhow, a bit of solder, then a layer of jb weld and some bondo over that to smooth things out. coat of paint and now im just waiting for the parts to arrive. if anybody has a tank off of a dt175 from the 1970's please pm me as i know someday m gonna need a replacement.

I must argue with you a bit there ttaskmaster. as the fella that did all the custom work on barks "angus" i can tell you that the front end was off of an early FS-1 (oh wait, wrong "angus")

take the bulb out.

ok, so i was oiling and tightening my chain today and saw that i have 2 missing teeth on my rear 45 tooth sprocket. the missing teeth are 10 apart. my little dt is my only transportation and i would like to know if its safe to keep going to work until one gets shipped in 3-5 days. i plan on replacing the chain while im at it.

what? nobody wants to go there and stomp about? wow, I never thought that all of you were mature.... went there, saw this: had to make a fail out of it. it was so perfect.

livestock, especially swine, is always an exception.

if you have spent only 1/2 hour in your search, that's your first problem. you should have spent the same amount of time wording a proper question in the forums so you could get better results. also, may i recommend that you spend more time than that choosing a mechanic? the way you are acting here indicates that you may be looking for one, as advice here is given to those that ASK. NICELY.

have you tried using an enzite pan?

thumb over instead of thumb around. or you could dimple the tank a bit. in all seriousness though i dont have an answer for you. however, on a bike like that if you were turning that sharp at any speed over walking it out of the drive your thumbs being in the way would very quickly become the least of your troubles.

ok, I'm gonna start calling you Aqualung, cynic. hahaha Sitting on a DT eyeing little girls with bad intent. Snot running down his nose greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes. Drying in the cold sun Watching as the frilly panties run. Feeling like a dead duck spitting out pieces of his broken luck. cyniclung......

mz minx: I told you that in confidence.... mike, no they were brown eggs.

nothing goes with a trip to area 51 better than a hand full of peyote!

heres my chicken. I love my photoshop.

i was about to suggest a bearded clam, but you seem more like a colonial gerbil man.

i dont see any harm in taking apart teh broken one first. and seing whats going on inside. that way youre not out anything. am i right?

OG, i have a rifle that looks a-lot like that one. if you send me a closeup pic of where the scope mounts i will see if i can locate a mount for you.

your last post made me think upstart, how did "stumpy" type up his story? other than rather slowly, and with one hand. i do agree though that he has made a bad situation into a learning experience for others. i have to give him a thumbs up for that. but i have to know, really, its a moving part, it has somewhere around 45 crush points, its moving something that is made to have enough torque to go well faster than you could want to go on one wheel. and youre putting your hand near it? whats next in our world? hundreds of caution stickers all over the bike? caution hot! warning electrical shock!, danger flamable!, i would pefer one coverall sticker on the pertol tank. "your helmet is there to protect your brain. your brain is there to protect the rest of you. USE THEM BOTH!" (that has become my new mantra by the way. we should all live by it)

i dont have wiring diagrams, (every one that i have seen sucks rocks) but ive got a 74 dt175. i will try to help.

well, it was a gixxer rider... anyone with the sense to own a yamaha probably wouldnt make that kind of mistake.

just remember to wear a cup the next time you play paintball with me. I have redefined the term "head shot"

thank you barky!!! whats a yin?

i like the helmet paint job on page 3 bottom right. i am almost considering doing that to mine.
