  1. Thats very sad news I will keep the family in my thoughts.

    I have lost tires on both front and rear and you can think I will do this or that but when it happens your going to react to what the bike does. When your rear end starts to one side your going to steer to that side if you can keep from jumping on the brake your better off but it happens so fast that keeping it upright is as much luck as skill. A front blow out is much easier to handle than a rear.

  2. Geez this site is rated G the mental pictures are burned into my minds eye.

    On a serious note how bad can it be? I guess as long as the doctor doesn't have both of his hands on your hips during the procedure it'll be ok.

    As for what I had planned for the day I ate some solid food then planted my colon on a scooter seat and navigated some scenic roads.

  3. mamamo is on facebook with her phone I don't think they have power. last I saw from skid power was out night before last. I haven't seen Yammer but he is probably still trying to get a first gen started. I hope all is well with them all.

  4. I liked my klr it was a good motorcycle and very capable of both on and off road riding. I had it 4 years and only put 3k miles on it because it was uncomfortable to ride for very long. I replaced it with aR1150gs bmw with a russel day long seat and my arse is much happier.

  5. Hey all,

     

    I had a quick question about membership dues.

     

    It would seem to me that, with 13,078 members, at $12 per member per year, that's $156,936 per year. WOW! Quite a lucrative business you've got here!

     

    I considered it was possible that, of the listed members, only a portion of them were actual paying members, and the rest were a rotating batch of trial members. I don't know how your member counter works. In any case, figuring on the extreme lean side, let's say that only 1% of that total, or 130 members, were paying crew. That would bring the annual funds to $1,570. Not bad for a gig that's essentially a hobby.

     

    Granted, that's not accounting for expenses (webhosting, cost of software, upkeep, etc), which, for your average vBulletin board (which are generally FREE access) should amount to about $50/month. That takes but a sliver out of the potential pot of dues coming in.

     

    As for the rest... where does it all go?

    Really? How much money do you make? What is it you do to get that money? How many hours do you spend a day to get that money? Are you really worth that much money? What do you spend the money on? Please provide detailed explanations and a spread sheet.
  6. There is only 1 reason gas comes out the overflow the needle valves are not shutting off the gas when the bowl is full. 100 degrees is everyday around here and mine never boils gas out the overflow. If the gas was boiling you would get vapor out the overflow. there are a few reasons for the needle valves to leak the most common is contamination (something stuck in the valve) a bad float can cause it if the float leaks and gets gas inside the float it will no longer float and will not close the valve. The needle valves them selves could be worn out or damaged. excessive fuel pressure can cause overflow the valve can only hold a few lbs of pressure. Are all 4 leaking or just 1?

  7. OK Thats a good one!!!:rotfl::rotfl: I have rode it a little around the house but not thrilled with it. Really don't have much of a place to ride here. Maybe if I can get it out somewhere there is room to play. Good arm workout on the ground I have here.
    Dan if you can find a place to ride they are a lot of fun. I'm a Polaris man because they have the best suspension of any I have ridden. look around for state parks national parks forest roads logging roads ect. They will give you a great whole body workout if you can find some challenging trails to ride. I love to explore off the beaten path. Anything made by Honda is generally high quality and dependable have some fun with it.
  8. Yeah it probally looks about as good now as it is ever going to. I'm going to treat it like a 1st Gen!! Just get on and RIDE!!
    Oh never mind, if your going to ride it like your first gens. I thought the four wheeler was in running condition.:stirthepot:
  9. Dan you can buff it with a high speed buffer and plastic polish. It is very easy to melt the plastic be careful, you can hand polish with plastic polish as well. If your going to use the four wheeler just get use to the scratches because there will be more.
