  1. Question: I got a new computer and it doesn't have Word program loaded on it yet. Does anyone have a solution to where I might fnd the program without breaking the bank?
  2. The plug is pretty good size with alot of weight pulling down on the unit. This is what causes the joints to go bad after several years of bouncing and vibrations. These are 23 year old scoots now...
  3. I had to re-do all solder joints on the circuit board, it just wasn't the seven joints mentioned inthe thread...... Works like a charm now!
  4. Beer 30 can always find a way to amuse himself, and others....... Stay safe Gene and let us know how you doing. Hope everyone else stays safe down there too.......
  5. Gotcha Charlie......
  6. I couldn't have said that better............ He seemed to forget his old scoot is older than mine.
  7. Sounds to me like your scoot is running scared.........
  8. And the CB is very handy in group rides.....
  9. I have been hearing a rattle and maybe a slight exhaust leak out of the ole girl. And for those of you who knows my ole girl, SHE DOESN'T RATTLE. For some reason my rear exhaust clamps will loosen up every now and then. Am I missing something or is there a bigger problem coming down the road? After tightening them up, everything goes away......
  10. YES ! US Route 60 past Hawks Nest is great riding. I had the 2006 Bridge Day WV Meet and Eat and the 2007 WV Meet & Eat ride through there. Everyone loved it.....

    DOT Sticker!

    Just remember them folks making the laws were voted in......
  12. It looks like it would be fun.....
  13. Well your son knows what the old man got....
  14. Just the original splitter on the back of the CB...... I also replaced the complete coax between splitter and antenna.
  15. It works through the CB antenna just like the original did. I don't use the AM/FM radio much, but seems to work good.
  16. Here you go... complete post with prices pics and where to buy. I changed mine out just last month. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24485
  17. Welcome bmannon Huntington, West Virginia! that is not that far away..... ...de N8YOW
  18. I use an old Pot-Belly stove to heat up my garage.....
  19. Keep us posted Vin, I hope they catch up to him. And maybe with a little luck you'll get a confession......
  20. Happy Anniversary to both of you.....
  21. Yes, the original stock antennas are folding antennas. Most retailers has the fold-over mount if you want to get it. I didn't get it with mine yet, but I may later and add it onto mine. The three foot antenna doesn't seems to hit anything, but when I cover the bike it would nice.
  22. I ordered mine online from roberts-etronics45.com. It is a FireStik FireFly FL3, If you go to the link I had on my first post, on the second page I have a breakdown of the total cost. I purchased a new antenna and a new mount. It fit the hole in the bike mount perfectly. I also replaced the coax on the bike, but I already had it at the house......
  23. Here is a thread you might find helpful to your question. I changed my antenna out a couple months ago and it really made a difference. The original antenna is just over 4 foot, but I went with the 3 foot FireFly and like it better. As for working, it works great. Also the FireFly comes in a matching cb antenna or a am/fm antenna if you wish to separate them. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24485
  24. Cool Kinda looks like the Can-Am Spyder...
  25. Man, you guys are depressing me. In less than 6 years, I am cashing out!
