By the way... If anyone sees someone around riding a red Trek Fuel 80 could you tackle them and give me my bike back?

Last night my bike was parked just east of shreve on our bike racks. It had the biggest lick I could find, a Brinks lock with a 1/2 (at least) cable, and I came out this morning to find my bike gone, the cable cut, and the lock thrown in the bushes. Did NOT make me happy.

I don't know what it's worth now, but when it was new it was something like $2,000. It's probably the only one around, so like I said, if you see someone dumb enough to go riding it around, tackle then and take the bike. lol.

Specific things about it were: a piece of red take around the bar that holds the seat up, the left shifter's little red bar didn't move when you shifted anymore for some reason.... it had areas on the handlebars where the lock had rubbed the paint off.... umm.... and the tires were different. The front had a tread pattern all across is, and the rear tires was pretty smooth down the center with ***** on the outside edges...

I know it's really unlikely, but if you see or hear anything let me know.... thanks.

Any Purdue guys or gals that want to help another boiler out have something I can use to look at the output of my 02 sensors on my 94lt1 with? My theory is it is running rich in closed loop because of some fouling to a recent head gasket failure. Some hesitation under light throttle take offs, bad warm starts or no warm starts, slight miss or shake when going a constant highway speed, but open loop runs strong. I can't think of what else it could be, could not even be related to the head gasket. If you're willing to help it shouldn't take much time, and I'd appreciate it. I'd like to rule this out or fix it soon, so I can join up on some cruising. As of now it is at my house an hour or two north, but should make it down.

CobraGuy,

I don't have anything. I was thinking there were a couple local techs on this board that may be able to help out.

PAPA have anything?
