porch thieves should be given a bullet ant enema....twice

You need to find someone that works from home and have your parts shipped there so they wont get nicked while your away... Happened to me more than once so I never order unless I know I will be around the day they arrive. Too much of a PITA to get it taken care of after the fact Sorry you got set back like that.

Storage till you do 😄

Because you keep leaving it behind in other countries ….to soon?

On the calendar udo save 1 chocolate covered donut for me

If you go to Ramona, then you have to hit up @Mr.JAJA he lives right there and knows the area very well. he would be the best point of contact for places to check out in that neck of the woods. He is also one of our resident engineering experts on all things motorcycles.

You can have it as long as you need it to keep you riding

What time are you thinking to the meeting spot? I would be game for doing this Not particular on the day

He is riding my 525

I am looking to upgrade my lathe, and in doing so, I will also consider selling the one I currently have. If I sold it as is, without any tooling (which will come with a quick-change tool post), and I kept the phase converter for the new lathe, I would give it away if someone were to come and take it. It is under power and have .00025 runout on the headstock. The interested party can come over and try it. Comes with a 3-jaw chuck, a backing plate, and the stock accessories that came with it when I bought it Lantern-style tool holder and other assorted stuff. I am thinking like $750 asking price/make me an offer (let's talk) I just don't know where to price it. It is a 1936 Leblond 13" lathe, only 50" total length very short bed for it's size. New cross slide screw and nut were installed just a few years ago. I have the factory manual and original bill of sale if you can believe that. It does threading operations if you are into that kind of thing and has been a very good lathe but I need something more rigid for the kind of work I finding myself getting into these days and need the larger capacity. Buyer is responsible for moving it, but I did it with a drop deck trailer and black pipes. This is how it looked when it came home; it does not show the new drum switch for power in this picture.

Out of curiosity, does this even land on your radar? What you have is exactly what I am looking for (to make the wife happy)

I want to watch! Thought of this solution as well would be easy enough to make but I have the gland nut wrenches which are made for basically the same thing. Yours might be a better solution since mine uses a round peg in a square slot.

I have a version of those wrenches you use with a ratchet; they will be back at the house tomorrow. PM me for details.

To bad you were no able to arrange for your parts to get delivered up to this event so you could bring them home from MX since you were already down there, might of made sense to drive down and get them since you already were in country?

We just did a massive street ride through here last weekend, with so many people this time of year. A lot of the trails have been closed will be good to know what you end up finding open. If you are on ADV rider, check with the regional forum there, you might get better info on closures, etc. MAP BDF_2024_MVUM_NorthA_20240529.pdf
