A few years back I helped a friend do a complete restore on her mom's 1973 Yamaha LT3. 100cc single cylinder two stroke. It turned out beautiful. I had it out on the road a couple times, and I imagine I looked like an ape on a baby tricycle when I was riding it. You'd peg the throttle and it'd give a WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH - do it a few times and you'd have it screaming along near redline in third gear as the speedo edged past about 30. IIRC, I could get the speedo to about 55mph on flat ground WOT in 5th gear. That thing was a blast in about the same way that a stock 1.6 NA Miata is a blast.
I have a yamaha dt100 from '79 that's the same way. Only has 800 miles on it and it's so chuckable it's awesome. You can run the little two stroke all the way through fifth gear like nothing, you won't be going real fast, but man is it fun.
Also the noises from that honda.... holy hell those were amazing.
Interesting 'fix' for sloppy latches. My only concern would be with the screw scraping the latch, unless it just gives the latch something to hold on to.

My first "real" bike was a 250 Nighthawk. I'm 6'2", and probably looked just as silly on it.
Drum brakes, spoke wheels, 2:1 compression, suspension about one step away from leaf-springs, no tach, manual choke, 90 parsecs per gallon fuel economy....
It was, by far, my favorite motorcycle. I'll never ride another one, as it'd probably spoil the memory to go back to something that puny, but I'll always cherish it.
As a no-frills city commuter, the CB-250 is easily the greatest motorcycle ever designed by man.

It's been around for a while but he does a good job of documenting it. It works fine and doesn't scratch the latch at all. If you use a sharpie on the screw head it blends in good. I did both cars a couple years ago this way.
All my training says that my eyes should translate a picture left-to-right. If I take the liberty of reading between he lines, I come up with: "Women going straight from "shower" to "in the bed with me" does not require any sober/drunk translation. I arrive at the same conclusion... "I need to be making more money, or be married less".
Me and the Captain have an mutual understanding on this one.
The T-37 is the sexiest airplane in the history of airplanes.
It is not the fastest. It is not the most mission-capable. It is neither the most efficient nor the longest-range. It is not the most aerobatic, and it is certainly not the quietest.
Rather, it is Sean Connery's DB5. Small, sophisticated, unpretentious, and undoubtedly more exciting than a python dropped into a barrel of parrots.
I think that if Walmart wants to maintain its wholesome, family-friendly reputation, and yet still continue advertising on FB, it needs to re-examine the product lines which it carries, and the algorithms which produce targeted ads for same.
I am totally, 100% serious- not making this **** up.
That was a random slogan that my fiancee threw there while we were originally working on the site. I was supposed to change it to something better, then several years later it still has not been touched. It is ok though. I am working on a new site that should launch very soon.
