Author Message   Uly_dude Posted on Tuesday, February 01, 2011 - 11:22 pm:        I lost track of which articles we've discussed here, so to err on the safe side I'll throw this out there; Has anyone seen the great interview with Eric in the latest Motorcycle Sport & Leisure magazine? It's a UK rag, issue #604, has a cover with the new Honda Adventure concept on it. It's a great article and he's really talking up the future for Erik Buell Racing. Just thought I'd mention it.   Whisperstealth Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 12:13 am:        I'll let somebody else bust your balls... hint: It's not about the mag article   Johndb Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 12:32 am:        ..about spelling the poor guy's name correctly. I'll do it. It's Erik.   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 12:52 am:        "Eric Buell" should be added to the swear filter   Uly_dude Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 12:53 am:        Doe!   Whisperstealth Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 01:22 am:        I did it once too...   Timn Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 07:32 am:        Did they give you badges when you joined the spelling police?   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 10:18 am:        Eric is Erik's evil twin.   Johnboy777 Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 10:28 am:        ""Did they give you badges when you joined the spelling police?""   Ourdee Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 01:51 pm:        Eddy is the evil twin. Misspelling Erik Is like misspelling R.D.. Come on, It ain't that hard to get it right. If I was Erik and someone misspelled my name and I knew it, I'd sign their bike with a c. I really need to get out and ride.   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 08:12 pm:        Eric Buell. George Warshington. Shawn Connery. It's not spelling police...it's his DAMN NAME. I like Froggy's idea on the swear filter...but one step further. Don't just replace the C with a "*"...replace "Eric Buell" with "I'm a kumplete douchebag and don't know his name is spelled with a K".   Whisperstealth Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 10:06 pm:        Damn Rat, "douchebag" That's harsh. I hear Court has some badges. Been wanting to see what they are for, and what they look like.   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 - 10:30 pm:        Sorry. I guess with a last name like "Goetz" (say "gets")...name stuff is a pet peeve. You're right. Douchebag was harsh. Ijit, maybe?   Uly_dude Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 12:11 am:        I think Eric spells his name wrong anyways   Swuly Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 02:56 am:        Eric is a very common name here in Sweden but we spell it "Erik". I find this Scandinavian touch to be quite cool actually!   Johnboy777 Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 08:38 am:        Misspelling Eric’s name is a crime against Allah – death to these infidels! Pass the Kool-Aid. ...   Wolfridgerider Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2011 - 10:03 am:          Electraglider_1997 Posted on Friday, February 04, 2011 - 10:18 am:        Ratbuell, Is kumplete what happens when you snooze after sex?   Hunn Posted on Sunday, February 06, 2011 - 09:03 pm:        I think the winter and cabin-fever has caught up with you guys. You need to leave your house and do something outside.   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, February 06, 2011 - 10:01 pm:        I got outside today, it was almost 50. I wanted to ride...but had stuff to do. That's the #1 piston in my $450, 221,000 mile Jeep Cherokee. Pulled the head off, after I ran some errands and did some laundry. I think I know why it didn't have any compression on that cylinder...   Eulysses Posted on Sunday, February 06, 2011 - 10:48 pm:        Those Cherokees are amazing how long they run. Mine was free 6 years ago and still running fine. Change out the little things but the motor/trans/diffs are forever. CheapJeep.   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, February 06, 2011 - 11:06 pm:        Yeah, got a spare (parts) motor in the garage. Pulled its #1 piston out. Gonna drop the pan in the truck, pull all six rod caps, pop all six pistons out, re-ring all of 'em (with the "new" one from the spare motor), ball-hone the bores for the new rings, install new rod bearings and new pan gasket, and slap 'er back together again. And that's if I'm energetic. I may very well only mess with #1. If I paid more than $450 for it, I'd do it "right". But...it's a 4.0 - this should be enough to get at least another 100k out of it!   Natexlh1000 Posted on Monday, February 07, 2011 - 08:30 am:        Oof. What do you suppose happened to the piston? Running lean from partially clogged injector? I never saw an engine do that. I've seen whole engines crap out but just one piston killed out of six? Kinda weird.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Monday, February 07, 2011 - 08:34 am:        Actually, now that I think of it, my mom's concorde got to 240,000 miles and developed a misfire in one of the jugs. That jug had lower compression. No oil consumption though. Since the miles were high, we didn't bother to open that engine up. We just got a junkyard engine and plugged it in. Perhaps her piston crown looked like that one?   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Monday, February 07, 2011 - 09:49 am:        Airwick Buell. Now that is really messing it up.
