have a whipper snipper/petrol line trimmer connected to my bike. well first of all my dad finished making a frame for it today and i took it for a ride up and down the streets. it ran beautifully for about 2 hours then my brother got home and i wanted to show him. so i tryed to start it and hit the primer a fair few times and it kicked over but not really so i took it round the back and there was alot of fuel leaking from the carberetor where it sucks it air. so whats wrong, did i prime it too much or is the carberetor stuffed? please help

I keep seeing this bumper sticker everywhere... and i saw it on a sign somewhere too... its yellow, and it says "motorcycles are everywhere" and something else on the top and bottom but i couldnt read it. What does the rest say? Wered it come from? Why does everyone suddenly have one? Why would a boat dealership have a sign of it?

ok, so i'm in a new state. i have a motorcycle permit (state won't let me get a licence yet). i know where i'm going to buy my bike. i'm not sure in which order i should get all the legal stuff done in.

for example. should i buy insurance, buy the bike, get it registered and get plates, or some other order? i'm confused on the right way to do everything. thanks in advance.

people that buy and own motorcycles and atv's have money, and a motorcycle and atv is concidered a luxury, an item people don't need. There is a luxury tax on boats of a certain size, and cigarettets are taxed cause they are considered harmful to your health, and maybe in the same way motorcycles and atv's are harmful to your health. We must raise taxes some way.

I'm looking for some agressive tires for the winter.
HD Dunlops are like racing slicks in the snow.
I have studded other brands of regular street tires on other motorcycles in the past, but I want to avoid the studs this time. They slide a little too much on bare tarmac. Or they gouge it. (Oops)
Soft compounds should be ok in the cold.
I need to fit a 19" front, and a 17" rear.

im taking an msf class in a couple weeks, i just want some knowledge before i go.

first, i know to shift from a stop to first you need to catch the friction zone with the throttle and slowly let off the clutch till it catches, but do you need to do that for every gear? for instance, shifting from 1st to 2nd, do you just roll off the throttle, squeeze the clutch, shift up one, and just release the clutch right after, just like that? or will that hurt the bike?

also, coming to a stop. should i downshift all the way to 1st and then stop, or can i just release the clutch, break, and then downshift all the way to first when stopped?

thank you! sorry if i don't make sense the way i'm wording things.

I can ride my ATV from my private property, thru trails and ride to a bar without going on any roads and get sloppy azz drunk and ride it home while im drunk outta my mind, but I have to cross one state owned road, where it is legal to cross a road with an ATV. If a cop would stop me, and if I was dumb enough to stop, could I be legally charged with a DUI?

I recently went to get gas with a friend, and the idiot decided to help me fill it up while I went in to get a soda. Well, it ended up overflowing. Not a great amount overflowed, but it did get on the gas tank. When I came home about an hour later, I took a warm, soapy sponge and washed it off lightly, then rinsed it off with another sponge and warm water, then dried it.

Is this sufficient, or is the paint going to corrode? Mind you, I don't plan on rinsing my motorcycle with gasoline often, if ever again, and won't be leaving my motorcycle with anyone while getting gas, ever again, so this is probably a one time thing. Just wondering though.
