Here I am. Never fear... the school marm welcoming committee is here... got my red pen out and at the ready! No, really though bennyboy1!

Hi Matt. to the YOC. Sounds like you're no stranger to bikes.

It's also a good idea to have plenty of room between you and the guy in front of you.

Thanks for the advice AJ and DT... I will give that a try on my fork sliders. Things have kind of started to crawl haven't they?! All of the little bits and pieces are now primed and ready to paint... and had I known how much work is involved between primer and paint I would have looked into acid etch primer. Um, my hubby told me that every piece would have to be scuffed, but I failed to realize just how tedious and time-consuming that was going to be. But all my crying aside, I bucked up and spent a load of time this weekend scuffing the primer on all the little bits and frame and swing arm to get them ready for paint. (pieces primed) So then we loaded up everything and took to the shop to paint only to find out that they were out of filters for the paint booth. Oh well, since we couldn't paint Mike welded the tears in my seat pan and fender (so now they'll be ready to paint too)... and I tried my hand at a little welding. It was kind of fun. So then I had to actually spend some time on the neglected yard and house work this weekend. Here's hoping to get the bits painted this week or next weekend and start reassembly before I forget how it goes back together.

Got mine. Thanks Foamy!

Hi Steve.

to the YOC!

Looks nice!

No worries. I'm sure others will be along to help.

aboard again.

You'll want to say hello in the new member section. Let the folks know a little about you and your bike(s). Can't help you with the electrical though... I'm just on the welcoming committee. That said,

she just needs to get one for herself.

I'd say the exhaust looks more like the YJ2. ??

Nice! Put up a project thread when you do start... if you want... don't mean to sound bossy.

Let us know how the new carb works out.

Jeannette. From the other thread it sounds like you are working things out. Maybe you will become a biker.

+1 (I think he'll thank you for it later) Good luck to you regardless of the route you choose. Glad your son is okay! Sounds like the accident was quite a mess... it could have been much worse.

Hello and

Ray. Other folks may know by the description, but do you have any pics of her you can post?

Hi Munson. to the YOC. The manual should help with basic maintenance. Post any specific questions in the workshop.

Awesome! Congratulations! (btw - How was the parking situation?)

Hi Mecalder. to the YOC. No idea on the replacement engine. This section is for introductions though and your question may get over-looked... may want to post it in the workshop section.

Welcome Carl. You may want to introduce yourself in the new member section.

Hi Allen. Sorry I cant help with the technical difficulties. You're apt to get a better response from some members if you introduce yourself in the new member section though. Welcome to the YOC.

Those are some gorgeous bikes. Sounds like you are keeping busy!
