>>>Speaking of, let me say that there are no subservient Korean girls except, perhaps, for the ones depicted in American movies. What you will find in Korea are beautiful women with a rich history, strong family values, uncanny intuition and a wisdom learned from generations that have lived through both the best and worst of times. If you're lucky, one will find you.<<<

It's just me, I guess, but I was a little uncomfortable with the overall tone in some of the earlier posts about Korean girls/women.

Fogcity, your post above is overflowing with wisdom, maturity and respect, and I just wanted to say thanks for making me feel so refreshed.

I didn't much care for Seoul, but the locals sure are Pro American, especially the older ones who suffered through the war. I was walking down the sidewalk from the office to a local convenience store when a man in his 60's or so stopped me and asked "Are you American?", I was a bit taken aback, not knowing whether to expect ridicule or what, I answered "Yes sir, I am" and was instantly greeted with an ear to ear smile and a vigorous double handed handshake along with the words "I am happy you are here. I hope you enjoy your stay."

The Ginko trees are cool.

No love lost for the Japanese there.

Try the cold soup with the thin latex noodles. Have the waitress cut th enoodles for you. She'll use a pair of industrial kitchen scissors. Wish I could recall the name of the soup.

Get used to sharing food. The community/family-style tradition is still in force there. No biggee since most of the shared stuff remains boiling over a flame right on the table.

Taxis are too cheap (as in inexpensive).

Get used to second hand smoke. I've not seen so much cigarette smoking since Portugal.

Beware a lack of business ethics. The MFr's, I'm talking top executives, don't think twice about flat out lying to you to get what they want.

I'm so soured on my business dealings over there that I don't think I could bring myself to do it again.

I did make one very good friend, Kwon, who was an executive technical assistant to one of the guys I was dealing with. He was totally cool. Actually resigned his position because of his boss' lack of honesty in dealing with me and the company I was representing.

What's up with N. Korea anyway? What a bunch of idiots running that country.

X1,

There are alot of good things about the country(S.Korea). I really did enjoy my stint over there.

1) There is a tree in the middle of Osan AB that is really, really old(and gnarly). The age of the thing was incredible, I think it was well over 500 yrs.

2) Into brass ornamentation stuff? You will see alot of it....

3) You want custom leathers? You wont believe the prices....word of caution though. Supply the tailor with US bought thread to do the work with. The jacket I had made is going on eleven years and have only had to replace a zipper. The majority of the Wilson Leather stores stuff comes from there. Walk in with a picture of what you are looking for, it will get duplicated and fitted to you.

4) Same goes for just about any other textiles....

Excellent advice on the thread from Loki. Not just the thread you'd buy at Wal-Mart or the fabric store for sewing on a button, though. That's polyester and cotton, and it's not durable or strong enough for a set of leathers that you're going to trust your skin to for years. Get 100 percent nylon upholstry thread. The stuff is really strong (you can't break it with your hands - it'll cut you instead) and will last longer than the leather. I use it for everything.

V2win; What the hey is wrong with you. Post your needs on this board and miracles occur, don't waste you money on phone bills. I've got a cable set complete with twist grips collecting dust.

During our get together in the Ozarks we were looking at my bike and it's a BadWeb poster child. It currently wears:
Footpeg pin from DAve.
Exhaust shield from Rocket.
Rear shock from DonC. (its coming back Don, with a mount, soon as I can get my WP back from the disreputable repair shop)
All brotherly donations from fellow BadWebbers. Call me cheap, but owning this breed is not for the modest.

Thanks Sport Twin!

Some dirt bag stole the seat off my M2 while parked at the airport. After calling five (!) Buell dealers around here to no avail (we'll order it - a month or so) I spoke with Blake at Sport Twin. Not only did he have the seat, it was still cheaper than it would have been locally even with 2 day air service! They even sent me the UPS tracking number so I could monitor the shipment. Thanks again for professional and fast service.

Josh,
I would recognize that bike anywhere. It has the 5" big-boy of buell mufflers.
Tripper,
I have two on the way. One Buell from Bud's and another Motion Pro from parts unknown. Thanks anyway. You better keep yours there. If you broke one, you could be down for days trying to find another.
Kevin L,
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT let that S2T go anywhere without checking with me first!
Why did the duck cross the road? To get to Kevin's house.

Good God, stay away from that crap. I don't know of any Koreans (in the States) that even touch the stuff anymore. Definitely a migraine in a bottle. I've never managed to drink enough of the stuff to get drunk (still got the headache though).

I remember sitting around the dinner table at my grandparents house in Seoul when I was a kid back in 1970. After the meal, a bottle was passed around and everyone took a shot.

It was a bottle of Jim Beam, not Soju.

I almost forgot about that stuff. Lets see.....it mixes with just about anything. You won't know you are drinking it till.... you need to stand up and use the little boys room. Thats when one finds out their legs no longer function.

Brad at SportTwin,
I've sent you two emails since your first one, but haven't seen a reply to them yet.
Also tried ringing your shop three times today, but always got the answering machine. I didn't leave a message as I don't expect you to ring me back in Holland.
Can you check your emails please?
I'd still like to buy a seat from you, so if you can please let me know where the sticky point of the transaction is......?

Big block: inregards to your post of Sept 05
couldn't get enough power in motor and made less power after coating

Not being there six years ago I don't have direct knowledge but I do have some thoughts on the matter. Yes an engine needs to produce heat to make power, the more heat available in the chamber, up until detonation, the more power the engine will make.

The typical internal combustion engine converts only about 25-30% of the fuels available energy to do the job of pushing a piston down the bore a7 turning the crankshaft. Most of the energy is lost out the tailpipe, bled off to the coolant and oil, frictional losses, & heat radiated from heads, cylinders & pipes. Thermal barrier coatings on combustion chambers, valves, piston domes, intake & exhaust ports & headers make the engine more thermally efficient. A coated engine & an uncoated engine of the same specs will both produce the same combustion temperatures(don't confuse this with combustion chamber temperatures) A thermally coated engine will typically show lower cooling system temperatures, lower cylinder head temperatures, lower oil temperatures and higher combustion chamber and cylinder temperature & pressure all of which are desireable in making more effeciency and power. All of these benefits would be lost if the increased chamber & cylinder temperatures led to detonation. The correct thermal barrier coating has the ability to move heat in the chamber, move heat more quickly away from the point of combustion and evenly distribute it thruout the chamber thus raising the point of detonation above that of an uncoated chamber & piston.

Big block your machinest may have misinterpreted lower water & oil temperatures as lack of heat in the engine which is not the case. If no changes were made to the engine and it was is good shape it should have at least made power equal to the uncoated one. One problem we did see way back when(10 years ago) was thermal coating flakeing off the piston & chamber and lodging under a valve thus creating a dead cylinder which leads to less power & a burned valve, perhaps this happened. Six years ago as today not all coatings are created equal, some are more cosmetic than functional producing little or no gains. One of our coated engines has never failed to produce substancially more power than its uncoated counterpart and do it with more reliability thru out the season.

Hope this sheds some light on the subject.
