Re:Last ride of the year 2 Months ago  
That wouldn't stop me, a little cold and rain, try it sometime. Yea I know it's not for everyone. I happened on it by mistake. I HAD to ride in winter and it wasn't so bad so ever since, I do.

I was just up in Milwaukee and Portage this morning, (In Ohio now) but it was like 60 plus all the way from Portage to Milwaukee and through the windy and when I got on the Bike in Cleveland it was 70!

And then my bike went BACK in the shop for it's 5th Intake!

Are they throwing it around the shop before they put it on?

Are they overtorquing it? What's going on out there? Maybe they should have Brady Quinn put it on. He seems to be the answer for all things right now. Sorry I couldn't resist. I'll go back in my Black and Gold hole now.

Sorry to hear the fix didnt work the last time. I know you were very optimistic. There has to be something else that it has taken 4 intakes and now a 5th.

I stay at the Holiday INN in West Covina all the time. I will actually be there in two weeks for 2 nights. I have customers in City of Industry.

Nice! I'm trying to remember the name of the street I lived on. It was a cul-de-sac.. I went to Amanzanita Elementary, and there used to be a McCoy's Market just a little ways away....

Geez Frank. I was born and raised in Inglewood, moved to Granada Hills in '63, lived in Bakersfield from '73-'75. It's a small world after all (Disney tune - c'mon everybody, sing it with me!)

Awesome.. My dad worked for Hopper Steel, building oil rigs, from... 1977-1988. At that point, the bottom had gone out of the steel market and they were closing the pumps in the oil fields, and Hopper Steel went out of business. I think the building is still there... (Near Union Street, I think...)

Not alot of industry, at least manufacturing in that area any more. Pretty expensive to manufacture there.

Okay... I lived on 3914 N. Lang, and the nearest crossroads were Orange Boulevard and Badilla.

I first lived, after just being born, on E. Idahome, and another apartment at 820 N. Azusa.
