This is what happens when good people do nice things for complete strangers. Karma??
Thanks for all you do for all of us you've never met. (And those you have).
Totally agree with Windadmin. I'll drive 3-4000 miles a week. You guys should see what I see from my perched view. I still find it hard to believe the number of distracted drivers. Look at the sad case in Texas last week. 13 people dead. Texting.....Grrr.. Nuf said. Also since I'm here, watch for po...
As far as seats go my backrest definitely helps. Like Wing Admin stated the Corbin is a bit firm. I know mine is, so I might just soften it up a little bit this spring with a sheep skin. Maybe someone will chime in that uses one.
I drove 120 miles through some of the worst roads we've had so far this year to get to an Honor Mission for the Patriot Guards. I left at 0700, so some of the roads were plowed, but they were still plenty greasy. It is ALWAYS worth it to stand with these men and women. Then I came home and plowed th...
I exercised my first amendment rights again last Sunday. After taking my wife out to dinner I had to stop for gas and a loaf of bread. As I was walking in I noticed a young dude with a beard and a mustache wearing a baseball hat with a propeller on top. A beanie??? Anyways I looked at him funny, as ...
I use my center stand almost all the time. Why?? Because I have one and my HD friends don't. Silly reason but hey, why did the mountain climber climb the mountain? Because it was there. Why do I use my center stand? Because I can.
Stuart, sorry you lost your cat . Pets are family. I saw a guy walking his rather large, white cockatiel the other day. Although it was staying on his shoulder, it was flapping it's wings like it wanted to fly. It looked like it was smacking him pretty good as he was cursing and trying to get it off...
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?" ...
Gee Dave ..thanks for not wiping out my family. Better stay up there in Gods' Country. Apology accepted. :shock: Hope you realize the sarcasm here! I can just imagine the B.S. this guy spread that got him elected to office. BTW I only got to the part where Captain Duffus said we invented the car and...
gipsy42, sorry to hear about your other half's hernias. Riding is a pleasure. How about your bike next to a fire truck with a "picture" of your wife on the seat? Rules are meant to be bent here. Ya...go for it and claim a tag.
cwoods, first off welcome to the forum. Secondly I also believe that bikes should be red and tractors green. Oh boy... I probably started something there now...
The older i get, the more prone to vigilante violence i become when hearing about these types of people. Impersonation of a patriot, trying to steal from people, brazen enough to come to your home to do it. Just amazing. ...+1.... Stolen valor really burns me. My son, whom is in the Army, caught on...
Holy cats Stuart... Sorry to hear about the damage to your bike and your garage. I'm glad the loser punks didn't get away with your girl. Thank God for good neighbors. Motion detectors on the inside is a great idea!! While shopping at Harbor Freight they also have signs like "Smile You're On Ca...
Maybe a wheel chock like one from Harbor Freight. You would have to find a way to anchor it down outside (maybe a piece of steel plate or a sheet of treated plywood?). You could even put a cable lock around your front tire so nobody could even back it off. Monsignore.. nice way to keep things in per...
Aren't you glad we were here to help? :D No one here will ever know how much everyone has helped me. Not only with turning wrenches, but with advice ranging from riding skills to helmet and tire reviews and everything in between. I also think I'm a better person since finding this web site. What a ...
HA!!! I got it :D After further research I saw a DIY article on replacing your U-joint. Then the light bulb came on. Pull the boot back on the U-joint and rotate manually. I cant believe how simple that was. I'm embarrassed I even made this post. :oops: . Some times when things don't go as planned i...
I read Wingadmins' post about starting the bike and putting it in reverse and the drive shaft will slide right in. The problem comes as the bike is not running right now, so reverse is not an option. I'm at an impasse. :x I know force is not the answer, it came out easy enough, Are there any more tr...
I love this topic, I hope it keeps going. My first bike was a Rupp Black Widow. 3 1/2HP. Straight pipe, torque converter, she was a mean machine and would blast out at 55 mph. Two of my buddies also had them and man did we have the trails. Graduated to an Indian ME 100 a few years later. Those were ...
I was going off the "How to remove and replace your rear wheel" in the DIY section. Step 22 is to rotate the mufflers to give a straight shot for removing the axle. I've only had this bike 4 years and the first set of tires I had a Honda dealership do them. I figured with all the GREAT adv...
Okay, ignore previous post. I got it... but it wasn't pretty. I would still like to know a better method (maybe the correct method), though so as that I don't trash the collector.
After 1/2 a day of saying not so nice of words at my exhaust, I can not get them loose of the collectors. I want to change my rear wheel and also a little maintenance while I'm there, but I'm at an impasse. What is the secret guys?? I hosed it down with PB Blaster and am using a strap wrench. I'm ju...
