You could also get a toy hauler travel trailer and put your Bike in there. Trailer up front, fold down back door to ride bike into. I'm on a RV forum as well, and people try all sorts of ways to have a trailer and put a bike in the bed. These are big heavy bikes with 50 million things to go wrong. Seems most of them end up getting a toy hauler.

La-z-boy, but I suggest you take him with. We would rather get a chair that fits right and we like, than accept a chair so our kid doesn't feel bad. Just sayin, happy birthday to pops as well

That would be better if it were a Jack Daniels trailer, or any mixer with Coke to your liking.

Yes I wave while riding, and I wave while boating as well. Just feel it's a special interest I share with some.

So very sad for this tragedy and your loss. My prayers are with you and your family, she sounds like a great kid we lost. Be proud of getting her to this point of her life, sounds like you did great as parents. Pray to the Lord for help and guidance, I'm sure he has a plan.

You might have some luck finding a plug with a site glass, figure out what thread they tapped, Google around Here's something https://lenzinc.com/products/hydraulic-tank-accessories/hydraulic-threaded-oil-sight-windows-sight-domes-sight-glasses

Looks Great. I'm still with my YukonXL, looking at new Expeditions, pricy. Your truck doesn't look like it's squatting much. I bet you love the 6.2L. Have a Great trip! We're dipping into low 60s at night, I'll have plenty of firewood.

Looks Great. I've been riding a lot this summer, now it's turning to camping season. Headed out for long weekend.

After doing what you have done, I also run an app on the computer called 'Disk Cleanup'. Deletes many old garbage files, tons of old crap not needed, that your computer still filters through on many commands. Then I run a program called 'defrag', and that reorganizes the files into the right file folders, if you will. I do this monthly, along with my backup to a separate hard drive. Seems to really keep my stuff running well.

FlyinFool, Hope all is well. I was wondering if you ever published the write up on how to replace steering bearings. I have spent hours looking for it, and reading up. I have an indent, and I am as you were, always has been there and need to replace the races and bearings, and just an average dyi. Before I ask the Forum, I find lots of this and that information, but no step by step instruction.

Thanks, concerns me even more, I have no welder... I wonder if anyone else has suggestions or a trick for the top one?

Nice bike for the money. I always ask, how bad is the whine. They always respond, what whine. I love my 83, but she is showing her age, and now I need to do steering bearings, ugg. Just not sure about this feet forward business.

I'm on Windows 10. If I go to top right, click settings, than look on the left side, there is a link to change email or password.

That boy needs to have the flying right foot on the rear brake to put the front end down. Probably too late . I have never tried a wheelie on my 83, too much to go wrong, especially that problematic frame issue. My earlier days on a Honda 400 Enduro, great times, I'm thankful to be alive.

That's great news, I plan to do mine as well. I'm not super DIY guy, but have found a few videos on the web and instruction on this website. Did you just take front tire off, drop forks and have at it? Where the races difficult to pound out?

Looks really good. Pull a Richard Rawlings. Take cash. Offer $1000, he responds and says he really needs $2000, say, let's split it, I have cash, and be silent. You have nothing to lose, you can always up your offer, but never the other way. Remind him it's getting to the end of the riding season, that itself might help. Good Luck.

I have found the Magic Erasers, those white kitchen thingys, work great on my Leather truck interior.

Prayers up Freebird. Hopefully they get this sorted out easily. My dad had some issues similar to as you describe, he was darn near dehydrated, wasn't drinking enough water. I'm sure it will be a small imbalance of something that is easily corrected.

I would put on center stand, and disconnect right before fuel filter. Have an oil pan to catch the gas. Maybe replace fuel filter. I found a nice clear glass one at Oriely's. About the starting, EVERY spring, I have to remove my air cleaner and quick spray of Starting Fluid into carbs. Works every year, and I never have to do it again until next year. Once you get started, I would run Seafoam through it. I also store my bike with Additive to keep gas fresh, and full tank to keep rust out.

Prayers up for your dad, you, and all his family.

Thanks for that info. I always assumed it was how it was. I never get any wobble or anything, 5 years, 20k miles. I will put that on my to do list.

I have the 'detent' at top dead center in my 83. I always figured it was part of it, has never caused any problems in the 20k miles I've put on it. What I think is your issue is, you have a bit too much air in front forks. I was told I have progressive shocks from previous owner, but that said, I ride with 0-1 psi in front forks. When I put 5 psi it's all over the place.

Prayers for your dad, you, and all the family.

Bags, I've never even had my bags on, but then again I have never been out of state with it. My concern with my 83 at 42k miles is.. the dreaded upcoming 2nd gear issue.

I'd put them back in as well. You might unscrew the cap, snip off 1/4" and reinstall for a fresh connection.
