  1. Of course Blue is the fastest, it is the same color as air so it slips through the air easier.
  2. I understand Tennessee is forecasted to get hit with a Polar Vortex this year.
  3. Our motorhome we had for nearly 20 years, I got almost 50% better mileage by driving 58mph on the expressway. Kenworth did a study on gas mileage years ago trying to improve semi mileage and speed was the main factor on mileage. Of course how fast you stop and start counts too.
  4. Impossible to jump two gaps at the same time. The coil collapsing is not going to suddenly re-energize to fire a second time that fast and there is no signal to do so either during that compression stroke.
  5. Syscrusher, would it help if they were countersunk to stop the movement?
  6. I know some women lie about their age but, Tippy is only 11?
  7. Sorry for your loss. I am sure she was grateful for the time she got to spend with you.
  8. Better there than in a panic when you need it.
  9. Yes, I figured the tip-over switch was not working because it was still running and it was all the way on the guards (tires off the ground). One more thing I need to look at this winter.
  10. I bent the front brake handle and now I have to replace the elbow by the water pump that needed done. Glad I waited. Other than that not much damage but a couple of scrapes.
  11. She knows not to do it but instinct told her to.
  12. My wife and I and my youngest daughter and her husband did an overnight ride this past weekend. About 225 miles round trip. Nothing big but our first overnight and longest trip to date. Had a great time on the bikes. About 1/2 hour from home, we stopped for a potty break. The lot was full of Harley's coming back from an event and a local police car. We pulled in and found a parking spot. I rolled into the spot and promptly laid the bike over. I believe I lost my footing on the right and she laid right down, engine running still in gear but a death grip on the clutch. I was instantly surrounded by Harley riders who helped right the bike and make sure we were ok. My wife got a scrape on her palm from putting her hand out. Everyone one of them was so nice and welcomed us to the club of dropped motorcycles. I have ridden for 33 years and it's the second time in all that time I have lost one. Like others have mentioned, after a certain point you just know it's going down. Fortunately we weren't moving when it happened. The funny thing was, there was a young couple with little kids in the van in front of us and she watched us pull in and drop right in front of her. She looked around like it was Candid Camera. BTW, my wife said it still didn't scare her about riding. She is a real trooper.
  13. If you install the adapter driver it should give you the com ports you are looking for. Also check Device Manager then Ports COM&LPT. You should see the Com ports there.
  14. This is from the older bikes, but the principle still applies to clutches and brakes. http://www.xs11.com/xs11-info/tech-tips/maintenance/brakes/53-brakes-sticking-check-the-spooge-holes.html
  15. Did you clean or replace the points?
  16. Left handed drill bit, 50/50 mix of acetone and atf is the best penetrant on the market. Easy outs are usually useless.
  17. We used to use crazedlist but you can't use IE and crazedlist. It needs to hide it's identity.
  18. If they changed the measurement from Parts per million to Parts per mile, then I would believe they cared about clean air. Unfortunately, it is a feel good making money law.
  19. Can you boot is safe mode at all still? If so you can use Magic Jelly Bean to get the key from the system. If not, a new Win 7 OS disk with key is under $100.
  20. If you are replacing the drive, the recovery partition is on the old drive and not on the new one, so no, you can't use Windows recovery. You will need the reinstallation discs. They used to be available for download from Microsoft through Digital River. If you can find someone who has a reinstallation disc of the same version Windows that came with their computer you can use that and your key from your machine. Dell is one that comes to mind that had these available, I am sure there were other OEMs also that did so. I have purchased these from the manufacturer for around $20. You contact the manufacturer of your laptop with the serial number and you can order them that way. Good Luck.
  21. I am not sure on sensitivity. I believe it is set at factory setting whatever that is. We don't get music cancelling. He gets to listen to me sing to the music but he cant hear the music. Ours plays music and intercom simultaneously.
  22. 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone is the best penetrating lube for stuck fasteners.
  23. With the Sena 20s we have music, GPS and intercom at the same time. Only the phone turns off the music when in use. Also, we run open mic all day long and my Son-in-Law has a 1/2 shell helmet and most of the time we have no wind noise. Once in a while I can hear it. But, it is pricey. You get what you pay for.
  24. texting..........
