    I use C-Mobile for my business remote SMS/data needs. They may have a plan for you.
    They start at $5/month. get for occassional/emergency use. not good for heavy data users.

    So much phone-shame... But given in the form of helpful advice! I wouldn't buy my secondhand phone, so I guess that makes me cautious of buying someone else's secondhand phone... I might be forced to decide soon, the buttons are not working so well on this one these days

    Find a yuppie and tell them they need to update their phone as it is a week old, then grab their old one.

    Impact driver with an alley key socket - might need a torx bit, now. Hit the torx socket into the bolt head (don't be gentle, set it firmly and compressing the casing material can take some weight off it - you will break the driver bit if you don't set it in place firm enough, so set it up to hit it hard and well), then once the socket is set in the bolt well enough, put the impact driver on the socket, turn to undo and hit it hard. Don't be soft! Don't balance the job or rest it on another area of the case, make sure you have something solid under the bolt. Good luck.

    Bought a full harness and all electrics off of an A model to fit into my C model with A motor . Hopefully it will end the two year escapade of not having my bike running

    Another option is to drill the head off the bolt, then you'll have room to access the stud left behind with that part removed.

    I finally swapped the carbies on the ZXR last night. I went to synchronise the carbs, but it was late and the adjusters are in an awful spot, so close enough is good enough for me. I did a coolant change, it only had water in the system. Next is an oil change. I think the VTR needs a service, too.

    Dont hold your breath ... I think everything , including parcels, from China is held up due to the beer virus and flight suspensions

    I received some stuff from Japan today, so might only be Chinesium products that are affected.

    Ahhh. Still lots of cleaning to be done.
    I am always searching for a better/faster way to clean parts without destroying the surface finish.
    I keep resorting back to good old Kero, mild detergents and lots of scrubbing.
    I do not have access to a blasting cabinet.

    Yep. That's why I had to snap it up.
    On closer inspection it has a few little blemishes. But overall it's pretty good.
    Not bad for a bike that is almost 25 years old and it is bone stock original!!
