Just wanted to say thanks to this great online community. It's been said before, heck I think I've said it before but this little world wide group of motorcycle enthusiasts we call BonnevilleAmerica.com is a fantastic collection of personalities. I've had people I never met loan me tools,send me parts to"try it out if it works then pay me" I've had people call me on their dime to walk me through a problem. People have gone outta of their way to assist me. I've been around here a long time, I do more reading then posting but I have to say this place gets better with age. I'm not sure some of you cats ever get out and ride. With Poobah Lord of all King of the jungle status how can you  Anyway thanks to everyone especially the ones that go the extra mile, you know who your are. Special thanks to the mods. Lots of work behind the scenes to keep us up and running, and in line Thanks Robert for his foresight. Met him one time in Georgia.( Yes Robert really does exist) To all the newbs around here, get out to one of the many BA rally's popping up around the globe. I know you will be impressed with the class of people you'll meet from here. Mike

Mike, had I not also met Robert once in Georgia, I too would not believe he exists. Maybe it's kind of like Charlie on Charlies Angels, with Phil, Mert, John(Wojo), John(Freedom), etc... all sitting around on the couch by the speakerphone when it rings.... "Hello Angels" (well, he might actually call them something else, but....)

I seem to spend half my working day on here and then i always check in again late in the evening. Great bunch of people from all over the globe. This is the second place i come to in the morning when i get to the office. Sorry, not the first. I have to check on the footie and Arsenal first. I mean, one must get ones priorities right. Quote:

I always sit here and drink my coffee in the morning and see whats going on then check in here and there all day. I have to leave my computer up to check parts for people so if I come over to the keyboard I check in.

It's an inside thing , ya gotta go back a few moons and search it in the archives . Very interesting thing , that there Resonator . Helmholtz was no slacker  , without resonation , acceleration would be virtually impossible . Sometimes I resonate at checkout lines  , and I get lots of room , also on flights , I get a row alone . Wow , thanks for reminding me . It is AWESOME on the 1500 cc .

Yes , you are correct , and there is an unfathomable chasm in my psychy because of that . But I HAVE been here long enough to know all about the YOUKNOWWHO YOUKNOWWHATTER and the upcoming YOUKNOWHOWMUCHDISPLACEMENT . Shhh , Dwight's out there somewhere with this cake thing on a stick . Is that jacket linen ? I like the feel of linen in the summer .

Jaffa Cakes! Why did I have to go with this darn Jaffa Cakes thing???  Reminds me of the poor guy who had a lizard problem, so he bought a ferret. Then he had a ferret problem, so he bought a bobcat. Then he had a bobcat problem....and so on, and so forth, and so on...... (BTW Wade, the Jaffa Cake thing is another one of those ongoing topic/jokes that pop up every once in a while. According to some of our brit brothers around here, they are a very tasty pasty that most of us Yanks haven't had the pleasure to have consumed)

Yep! They sure were, Ian! I guess the next logical question around here would be.... What do ya get when ya cross 1500 Jaffa Cakes with a Heimholtz Resonator??? Heck, I don't know EITHER, but PLEASE let's NOT start venturing guesses about whatever you would end up with, WHICH COLOR of THAT THING would be the FASTEST...OKAY?!

a very tasty pasty
If it's PASTY , I think I'll pass - take too much Starbucks to wash it down . BTW , He , ( you know who ) loved STREUDEL .  A man walked into a biker bar and a guy commented on the contraption he rode up on , an H. R. with a 1500 count Jaf.powerplant , said it looked retarded , Mlessard hit him with a barstool and said , now you look retarded !
