nude baby in garage
Posted: Sat Aug 18, 2007 7:26 pm
Today I made a new addition to the bin Rydin family of garage jewelry
Let us all welcome a brand new 2002 XR 250 R to the garage
Thanks to the sharp eyes of Joan's Youngest Son Adam Cortell
who reads "Craig's list"
He found a "Showroom Condition" 2002 XR 250 R, just over in Grants Pass
The owner wanted 1/2 of the new price and said he had ridden it 4 times
but it would not start, and the gas petcock would not turn
and he would not sell it until he got a new petcock & got it started...
which took two weeks
and then it still was not right because it leaked gas
and ran like crap
(I mean ~> I leak GAS all the time
And it ...... ain't no CO '2 ...babie
Plus I Run like Crap...a lot...
AND "sometimes" I even snore)
So yesterday, I robbed the bank (it seemed like it because I ran the teller out of hundred dollar bills...)
And drove over to G. Pass today, (it was only 71 degrees, because of glo~bal~war~ming)
and this bike IS SHOWROOM Fresh baybee
I mean the headpipes have never even been hot, they are still golden shiney
the little chrome headpipe manifold nuts shine like mirrors
The stock issue Bridgestone tires still have that little "suction cup" depression in the knobs that does not even last 100 miles
All those shiney nuts and bolts that have that little dab of yellow paint on the nut/ bolt junction are still ... yellow dabbed
All the threads on everything are still shiney, and the plastic is original new... W/O a mark on them
The stock O Ring chain is still set at the factory #"6" position on a 45 point snail adjuster
The Green engine case gaskets that turn brown after one ride are still brand new Green
the underside of the fenders have never seen even dust, let alone rockey mud trash and logging debries...
the stock air filter, is still clean on the original factory oiling, the original engine oil is still amber
My bike almost looked this good in 1997, before I rode her pants off the next day down in Klamath CAliforn ia,
setting arrows for the 1997 Redwood Scramblers 2 day "trail ride"
Then I took her to Tawm's Black Dawg the next week to "break her in" proper like"
Oh, there are just a couple of "modifications"
The original owner put on Renthal Bars, and Cycra bark busters (durn)
and took off the carb, and silencer butt plug, and furked up the jetting / float level >>> really bad
but I have furked up a carb worse than that and ridden for a couple of years,
Art & Don & Tom & would know about that...
Well the bad part is it does not have that "happy button", electric start,
so Art will still be able to point and laurf at me every few smiles, when I stall out
and I have to reset the carb to stock, and reinsert the silencer butt plug because he took it out, but he had it in a bag
I got "it" started and he / she...??? has got the float set so low it surges and runs on full choke lean, pretty good
you can smell how lean it is, EPA would love it !!!
I ran it through all the gears, brakes, I mean this puppy is brand spanking new, right down to the tires
When I heard that Honda quit making these,
(1) I knew I HAD to have a brand new one.....for........Well............., ahhhhhhh, the following "reasons"
(2) Whenever my "New" 1996 XR 250 R was hopelessly unrepairable........
I mean it has had its engine rebuilt 4 times already
olde "Bonnie Meadowes" can't last forever, can she ???
(the Orange Dawg XR 217 Honda Reflex TRL expirimental bike tounge thing (with eyes) is in Re Tire ment,
living in Florida, last i heard...
(3) Kind of like an Organ Donor Program ?????
(4) Like, ah, man, I had like this empty space in the garage, mon ???
and I had to convert those devalued american bank credits ARM high risk morgage mexicandrugdesprarados credits
into hard XR Japanese iron, aluminum, plastic futures
before the stock market, ah, whatever...dude, like crashed ??? like...
(5) I like XR 250 R's ~~~> even if they don't have electric start
(6) and mine is 11 years old and got rode hard and put home muddy all its life
I picked "Reasons" (1), (5), (3), (4),(6), & (2).....myself...but not in that order...
I have not "Named" the new addition to "the family" yet
but the "Christening" and "Baptism" will be announced soon
right now I am just making a little "nest place" in the "baby garage"
where the new addition to the family can sleep comfy while we get to know eachother
and I burp her little carburator until she/he gets over the colic...
new baby gifts can be sent to: Rocky Mountain M/C ~> C/O "bin Rydin account"
Thank you Adam Cortell for finding this relic
the dude that sold it to me
left the multi year olde gas in the tank while he replaced the petcock with a new one...
how lame can you get ???
my house now smells like petrofried dinosaure putrified kentuckie fried carbon credits "B.A.G."
(B.efore A.l G.ore) ,
i mean it is RANK with that burnt varnish smell of olde gas
but just perhaps,
it will control the most of the ants and misq uitos ? around the cape ferello neighborhood "stakeholders" area,
for about a square mile or so...
let you know later, after the CDC "clears" the survivors, and vacinnates the dead...
no wonder the petcock was "stuck",
well with "gasoline' at 3$ a gallon ~ what would You expect ?
as the newed Black Dawg Princess (she's dressed in red 2002 plastic , and black fork boots now) would say...
"Whew, Whew" and rootey toot tute...
