Wow, this guy has some good stuff on his youtube channel for airhead owners. Can't believe I missed his stuff on youtube as i'm frequently searching for airhead "how-to's" there....all I can usually find are the 20 second long silent japanese videos that seem to flood youtube and are quite useless. Good stuff, thanks for the links!

Have you seen his latest post? He takes apart a K bike clutch and is surprised to that some genius siliconed the spring plate to the flywheel housing! Hilarious

You know you're an old timer here if you "get" the Major's allusion.

Who does, and who doesn't?

I does.

Good ol' silicone James. I miss the guy and hope he's well and prospering. He's a good man.
