Totally typical with not only bike dealers but car part stores as well. Larry

Can't help on that master cyclinder but wanted ya to know you'll be missed once your bikes are gone. Sometimes we need to step back and regroup in our lives. I've done that a couple times over the years as my family has grown and ended up full circle with riding. Good luck in whatever you do. Larry

Ya that too. Awesome view there. Check out Lake of the Clouds in the Porcupine Moutains Wilderness State Park off of highway 107 as well . That view is as good or better as Brockway Mountain and getting there is a fun ride too. Larry

May be time for one of those new foam type beds?? Larry

Stay for the windshiel

I would rechase those threads with the proper sized "metric" tap or thread chaser and then use new bolts. Yamaha list the bolts at $1.33 each and the stay at $132.71 (ouch). I will have to check on the size later. Larry -
Happy belated B-Day Alan. Hope you see many more of them. Larry

Best of luck for you & the Docs in your upcoming surgery. Larry

Not a problem Bob. Certainly taking care of Tina's health was much more important than meeting a few biker hooligan's. Hope she's feeling better now that your home. Beides we needed an excuse to gather around. Larry

I'm down by the Metro-Airort area and have an independant shop that does good work. Probably won't open till Tomorrow thou as most everyone is closed till then. We also have member MiCarl nearby who owns his own shop and does excelent work at reasonable prices. He's probably 15-20 minutes from my home. Here's a link to his webpage -- http://www.thundervalleypower.com/ Larry

No problem Cort. Hope your big trip is the International Rally. If so I'll see ya there. Larry

Well we had a decent turn out tonight. Not everyone was able to make it thou. Still it was good seeing old friends and new ones too. I forgot to take my camera so will have to depend on someone else to post pics. Larry

Victory Cross Country would be my pick

Welcome to another triker. Enjoy the ride. Larry

Ok Sunday it is. Leon's in Dearborn and meet between 5:30-6 pm. Here's the address: Leon's Family Dining 23830 Michigan Ave., Dearborn, MI, 48124 It's on the north side of (12) Michigan Ave & just east of Telegraph (M24) Let me get a headcount so I can forewarn management we'll be invading them.

Here's a solution for wet electricals. Get a can of spray silicone and give all the wires, boots and connectors a nice even spray. Do this when you know everything is dry. I've done this on older cars and after a treatment you could dump a bucket of water over the distributors & coils without killing the motor. Larry

Buddy I've found that over time the provided foam has a tendency to loosen. The velcro by itself isn't enough to keep them secured. So my soluation for a fix was to use a 3" long piece of 3/4" black heater hose per side. It'll follow the curves & being black it blends in real well. Larry
-
Looking at the weather and the fact that some folks would be tired after getting in today and tomorrow I suggest we hold the M&E Sunday. Weatherwise Sunday should be a great day. Larry
-
Let's give the out of town guests till this evening to chime in on which day they prefer to do the meet & eat. Larry
-
Sorry Gary my bad for not thinking here. Guess I better send out a couple more notices for our across the river friends. Larry
-
I've got gauges and all the tools to check your ride out. I'm just north of Metro-Airport so depending on where you're at in SE, Mi you could be fairly close. Send me a pm for my address and we'll getr done. Larry
-
I'll 2nd that. Larry
-
Already notified all the locals here. Sorry ya won't make it Gary. I'm in crunch time getting ready for Cody as well. See ya there friend. Larry
-
Cort I just sent you a pm with some info on lodging. Larry
-
OK folks any prefences between Friday, Saturday, or Sunday evening for a meet & eat at Leons in Dearborn? The Village & Museum closes at 5pm and we're looking at most 10-15 min from leaving there to get to the restraunt. So my suggestion would be to meet at around 5:30. Just need to pick a day here is all. Larry

Motor trike did offer a kit for the RSV's in earlier years but do not do so now that I know of. How long they did them I don't know. I have seen one Venture with one on it and it looked OK. Can't tell ya much more then that thou. Oh it was a true trke conversion and wasn't one with the extra pair of wheels on the side like the Voyagers use. Larry
