    wow, I got to the end of page one and the missis had to haul me to the ER for an emergency butt transplant, as I had laughed mine off already reading this awesome report! At first they tried to get me to accept "a J-Lo" but I said "no way that thing is going to last more than two or three pages, doc. You gotta do better than that! And so in the end I accepted "the Kardashian" and I'm hoping that it lasts because having your laffed-off butt replaced is, well, no joke. I am on the short list for "the Beyonce" if the appropriate donor appears. If that doesn't do the trick I don't know what I'm gonna do, 'cause I am in on this RR for the long haul. I'm thinking sumo wrestler might work. Who's that big american sumo? Konishki? I gotta stop this comment now and call my doctor and see if they can get me on the list for one of those, cause this report is so hilarious I think I'm gonna need it. :D

    ok In the never ending quest to send cack back to the factory to complain about the fork seals i have more information

    Judging by the VIN number Cack was assembled at

    M = Hamamatsu factory in Japan

    Someone must identify the person...is the final inspector that signed off on cack still alive?

    It's the damnest thing! I knew the guy that inspected all the PC's back then. His name was Oyu. Oyu Gotabeshitteme. Sadly his burial site was washed out to sea during the tsunami. Who knows, he could show up on the west coast someplace maybe.

    Can we all assume maintenance records exist detailing excessive fork seal repairs over the years:lol3???? Certainly the lucky individual that rides this machine to Japan should make the case to the manufacturer that issuing a factory recall to repair the seals is in order.

    hey anyone wanna go with me and cack to the dia del muert0 in mexico? Maybe mazatlan? Chihuahua?

    The ideal candidate will have zero common sense and a crap high school knowledge of mexican.

    i am researching a book and need someone to translate prostitutes stories for me.

    For that matter are there any mexicans in mexico that could show me the ropes of their celebration?

    Honestly this could be very dangerous.

    Are you talking next week? or next year?

    I'm sure that if you do next year you would be instituting some kind of rabid cack fan rally that would live on immuertoality.

    I have been to Mexico twice, on the last trip I was pulled of the road by the cops taken to an auto junk yard and extorted for $. That was the most excitement I have ever had on a rode trip. That was east of Mexico City. At the boarder crossing in Brownsville a man jump out in front of me and tried to get me to come into a building. I flipped him off. Beyond that it was the usual inspection 30 miles in and Military check points and federal police check points. I speak no Spanish they pointed and I open for inspection. Military check points have uniformed kids with Uzi that's exciting. I never got hurt and was extorted four times by police but they where always nice about it. They just want American

    in case you are wondering at what instant do I determine the Cackification to start on a new bike.

    Exzibit A
    (waht I would call a provocative incidenet)


    [​IMG]

    my daughter was sitting on the couch looking at me as if trying to remember something. I leave her be. Finally the lightbulb goes on and she says "Oh Yeh your bikes are laying down in the back yard"

    I go out back and see two down bikes. Apparently my V-strom slowly let its air out of the rear tire in an attempt to create an obtuse angle with the kickstand. I personally believe there was jealousy involved. My wife instructed the Vstrom that It would under no circumstances be cacked up. The Vstrom became enraged and pulled a murder suicide in the back yard. This ordinarily would not have had me set my tazers on cack (verb) but I looked amongst the detritus and noticed the 7million dollar Ceebailey windshield had significantly bit the dust.

    Game on! Ladies and other Protien based life i give

    you
    CACK 3

    tHIS third cackification violates several clauses in my prenuptial agreement so don't nobody tell my wife.

    of course I carefully removed the shattered mirror assembly on cack2

    [​IMG]

    And carefully fabricated a replacement

    by all means do not do this at home.....this bike is for closed course operation only....

    it is nearly always bad for the sun to shine on the bottom of your bike
