  1. That's awesome
  2. If some idiot was pointing a gun at me I think he wants to do two things. 1 - take my money 2- shoot me if I don't. These scumbags have no value for life. Think of all your friends and family. Your kids that need you, the responsibilities you have for them. If I had a gun in that situation I'd shoot until i knew the threat was eliminated. I'm going home to my family.
  3. Will a cluster off an '87 fit? I have one.
  4. Get back off track. This is getting pretty funny.
  5. Too bad you're not closer. I'd take it for a ride for you. Just tryin' to help.
  6. Or maybe it was turned to the right. Once you lift it up you'll see which way to turn it to get the most clearance.
  7. I used a floorjack with a 2 foot long 2x4 on it it jacked up from under the engine while the bike was on the sidestand. With the handlebars turned to the left, the tire came out without removing the fender. I've done it this way at least a half a dozen times and have had no problems.
  8. North here. I can do MA, NH, ME, VT. And if the North has to do Alaska then the South should have to do Hawaii!
  9. Alright here goes... Two guys are walking their dogs down the street. One guy has a Chihuahua and the other guy has a German Shepherd. The guy with the shepherd says " I'm thirsty. Let's go in that bar over there for a beer." The guy with the chihuahua says" We can't go in there with dogs!" The guy with the shepherd says" It's OK. We'll tell them they're seeing eye dogs. Watch." So he puts sunglasses on, walks over to go in and the Doorman says " You can't come in here with a dog." The guy says "He's a seeing eye dog." The doorman says " Oh, OK." The guy with the chihuahua says " Cool!" He puts on sunglasses, walks over to go into the bar and the doorman says " Hey, you can't come in here with a dog." The guy says " He's a seeing eye dog." The doorman says "A seeing eye dog? That's a chihuahua!" The guy says " WHAT? THEY GAVE ME A CHIHUAHUA??"
  10. I have a '05 FJR and love it. For 2 up you definitely need a trunk or backrest and a seat upgrade is a good idea.
  11. She's probably thinking safety for when she has to push the babies out to learn to fly.
  12. I have the pants. The only discomfort is the thigh pads will get a little sweaty when it gets warm out. I think you could fix that problem real quick with a little cloth glued to them or something like that. They are the only pads that don't stay in permanently and can be a little tricky to put in. I still don't know if I put them in right because because they fit a couple of ways. But they are definitely worth the money.
  13. This is the first time I've told anybody this because it's so embarrassing. A long time ago I was pulling up on one to hold a canvas on a dumpster and it broke. I punched myself in the mouth and the hook went up my nose. Fat lip and a bloody nose. Note to self.........
  14. If you have a problem with the damage done don't pay him until he fixes it to your satisfaction - contract or no contract. Tearing up your lawn doesn't fall into the good job category. If you fix it yourself deduct the cost from his bill. He's responsible for his subcontractors. If he doesn't like it he can take you to court.
  15. Didn't have any in NH. I bought progressive springs and the anti-dive block offs from skydoc. Could I use forks from another year Venture if I've eliminated the anti-dive?
  16. Venture07 has mufflers for sale and I've tried to contact him but received no reply. Does anyone know if he's still around?
  17. Thanks guys. I think I just found a pair in New Hampshire. I'll find out tommorrow
  18. I need to replace my font and lower tubes on my '87. Anyone know where I could get some and what other years will fit? Thanks
  19. Is the load limit on the 130 less than the 150? Older tires don't take the heat good at all. And thanks for the post. Everyone likes to talk about the fun times. Talking about the scary times is different but like you said it could save someones life.
  20. Thanks a lot guys. I turned the pre-load the right way and then put 7 lbs. in the forks. What a difference! Like night and day. Now the wife is happy. And if she's happy..... So Freebird maybe some time I'll post my '82 high school graduation pic. The one where my hair is parted in the middle feathered back and I have a earring. Man I'm glad I can't go back to those days.
  21. Sounds like You' ll be having a nicer ride out that way. More miles and more scenery.
