Drive your car 1/32nd of a mile up the road and wait every morning with them at the bus stop and then hold their hand as you walk them across the street to the bus.

I last week saw a school bus stop and hold up 8am traffic on a smaller (yet still fairly busy at 8am) road to pick up a jr high aged kid. No big deal except his school was directly across the street from his house. 50 yards away. A generous 50 yards away. Maybe 50 yards from his bedroom to his locker. I couldn't believe it. This kid had no mischief to get into. And it was worth it to him to be ready at the same time, to stand outside every morning waiting on a bus. Would his life not be simpler if he just got ready when he got ready and walked 5 minutes to school? I'm young myself but that blew my mind wide open. I'd be walking, it would be quicker and easier if i had lived that close to school. Plus think of all the gas that is wasted every school year by stopping all the traffic for 30+ seconds everyday, not to mention the taxpayer dime for the bus fuel, all those people cutting it close to work, maybe even late, all waiting on lazy ass little timmy to kiss mama goodbye and get on the bus to go to the school he can see from his front porch.

I got into an argument on facebook with a kid on facebook who criticized a tecate owner for painting his frame. He said he should have powdercoated, like it came from the factory. All hondas, yamahas, and kawasakis came with powdercoated frames. He knows this from experience working in an atv shop. If I could have traveled through the I tenet connection and punched him, his mom and his dad I would have.

I'm currently trying FB again...
I've had an account two weeks and on numerous trike pages.

I just don't see the fascination but these guys are right, ALOT of people I haven't seen posting here for years are active there on FB pages. AND I've also noticed the niche is way more popular now and I'm also shocked at the stupid prices for junk parts. Blows my mind but it HAS to be affecting traffic here.

Remains to be seen if I stay on FB but I still prefer this place and this format.

That was you! Haha! The kid told me Bill said to send one to you. I was like OK... Haha, fantastic Bill! Thank you!

I'd also like to add, in reference to the kid who lived with me that thinks he's a mechanic; He would determine what the problem was ahead of time on a hunch, then manufacture reasons as to why his guess was correct. That's what I meant by "he works backwards". Now, any monkey can swap parts around and guess, but if that's how you work don't refer to yourself as a mechanic. Diagnostics is what makes a mechanic. Having logical reasons, proof, an experienced hunch, anything more than a random guess, that's what makes a mechanic. I watched that kid rip into trucks and replace parts that didn't need to be replaced on more occasions than I can even remember, with the owner of the vehicle paying for these parts to be replaced when they didn't need it!! I once worked for hours with him in a miserably freezing unheated garage removing a cab from a 6.4 diesel Super Duty to replace the water pump only to find it didn't need one after we got the cab off. Ended up truck needed a heater core after everything was said and done. All that work wasted because he doesn't know how to diagnose and refuses to learn from anyone else. I could go on, he's had multiple gems like that one, including a truck that got botched so bad it got traded in.

Hey DC!! "I've neva seen a tree-fidy-X shear a flywheel key!!!" Lmao!

Times are changing. Always have, always will. I got that from my folks when Mtv came out back in like '85. Or when we'd spend hours on the corded phone. They would say "where do kids get the money for atc's & mini bikes? We had to work for everything."
I'm sure the kids are fine. It's their parents! I see too many kids ignored for the parents gadgets. It's different now. I agree with a lot of what you said. But I see a lot of good kids, with good parents. Thank god.

I STILL haven't. That disaster was the larger ID 350X flywheel on a smaller stator/lighting coil. I got spark, had to leave it home and finally figured it out.

I found 2 different stator/flywheel set ups in my 5 350X crate motors. I was STUMPED!!!!!! Figured all 86 were 86 setups.

Also waiting for 86/87 200X square frame breaks?? Anyone? Bueller?.......................

You did once!!! Lol!

Just goes to show ya, even us old dogs can still learn something new.

The general audience of the Facebook groups are the blind preaching to the deaf.

And nobody has any idea what their or a potential machine is worth.

Believe it or not, some schools don't allow children below middle school (so 6th grade and below) walk to and from school anymore. They must all be picked up by the schools transportation. Liability reasons. Our elementary school was like this. So you may see it as "lazy", but parents see it as their child being safe and so does the administration who enforces it. So many things could be going on, he has a strict parent, the school forces him to do it, he may have appeared to be older than he actually is, and so on.


But man, this thread makes me laugh. Kinda wish I never read it. I'll leave it at that.

[fabiodriven]

Yet here you are posting in it. Makes me laugh.
