Just take note that the ad indicates it's hydraulic clutch...

I guess its the old saying- if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is...

By the way, under Greenman's expert tutelage I am assembling a parts list for a two phase build to both increase torque while simultenously bulletproofing the motor by ridding it of its inherent flaws, namely not enough oil to the top end and the cam-chain tensioner shoe problem. It is nothing radical- designed to be done on a budget and not put to big of a dent in the bikes' fuel economy.

When the list of parts is complete, I will post them here for everyone, provided that each person that benefits buys Greenman a beer!

Ride safe, y'all. (I can say now that since I live in Kentucky...)

I'm headed out in a few minutes to do a Poker Run. I'm kinda psyched because I just realized that I haven't been on a run in about a year and a half. Maybe some of you have ralized that I haven't been around much. I've been batteling a massive bout with depression. This has lasted over an extended period of time. It's basically turned me into a hermit, stripped me of everything that I've learned to love, and is very had to get good treatment for. That totally blows because I uesd to be a very outgoing guy. Things have been better for me in the past few weeks. I'm hoping for a continued trend. I hope that you and your families are all well. Sometimes life hands you a turd sandwich but what doesn't kill you will truely make you stronger. Ride safe and ride often.

I hear you bro... Sometimes life kick you in the head. When stuff like that happen to me, I tell the Big Man how I feel and ask him what I should do to make thing better.

He always gets my back. I'm sure He will get yours also.

Good luck on the poker run.

Hey Tommy - glad to hear the Fog is lifting. Family, music, motorcycles (and a little prayer)... those are the things that keep me motivated and moving. Hope you had fun on your poker run!

I thot you were kinda quiet, welcome back to the land of the living. Remember when it gets dark, there are many out here that care. I have had some close folks go thru that, glad you made it back.
