Thanks y’all. We had a nice sunny day for the grave side funeral and 8 grandsons to carry her to her resting place. She’s much better off now.

I read right across it. Now thanks to you I have an image burned into my brain I could’ve done without. 😩😩😩

Only if you remove the belt. It’ll spin the tranny same as the shaft.

I don’t have a 3rd Gen but 1st &2nd gen both say to not tow with wheel on the ground. The transmission isn’t lubricated correctly without the engine running. The forces of acceleration and hard braking are also transmitted up the forks and neck, not something that excites me.

Yeah I know this is off topic but a question for all y’all in the area. Watching the Science Channel I just saw the story of the Kinzua Bridge collapse, we like to see historic sites and are considering detouring over to see it. 300’ high and a glass floor is something right up my alley, my wife not so much. Anybody up there have opinions on taking time to see the park and are there other attractions nearby?

After reading more of this I stopped by and grabbed another Gock 48 while the getting is good. $400 including tax.

I think you’ll find some in “poor mans tips” and 1st gen tech. May take a little searching. There are some really good ideas scattered around. I haven’t had to do much plastic work so hopefully a few of the gurus will chime in.

Several posts regarding this. Search in the library. It’s ABS plastic, you can make a putty with ABS and MEK for patching, I used ABS sheet and ABS plumbing glue to fix a broken saddlebag. There are commercial products available Plastex being one. Fiberglass really isn’t the answer.

Not on topic but Hey Kybronco, not many of us bluegrassers on here. I’m at the west end of the state but have a daughter at UK Med school closer to ya.

The fight is over, Mom passed peacefully in her sleep 4:30 a.m. this morning.

to send up well wishes for my mother. She’s been battling Alzheimer’s for a few years and it seems she’s at the end of the fight. 80 years and raising 2daughters and 5 sons probably drove her to this. I don’t know how they did it and didn’t kill us. To top it off today would’ve been dad’s 83rd birthday.

The X is what I bought, I already had one but my nephew wanted one and couldn’t find one available. I sold him mine and bought the blue label since it was available. Same gun but only available to LEO, Fire, Military. Really considering going back for a 40 cal just to put in the safe for the future.

People are panic buying everything right now. I just left the gun shop where I picked up another Glock under the blue label program. I looked at a local online sale group, used ones are bringing $100-150 more than I paid new.

Glad to hear you’re healing well. Keep it up.

Wow. I wish I had the patience for that. My 86 really needs that kind of restoration but will probably be sold like it sits. I haven’t ridden it in a couple years, we like the comfort of the 2nd gen too much.

Really Carl? I had no issues first time, of course I read the write up of how to not fight it in the tech section. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

I think I got mine from boats.net. I’ve slept since then so I’m not sure I remember correctly.

Not much usually goes bad on the arm. I’ve had good luck buying ebay used parts, just look at the seller feedback for trusted sources. I would replace the bearings in it while there. What happened to yours?

I would post a pic of the snowshoes we use down here but you can’t see the difference between them and our work/riding boots.

You’re welcome for the little input I had. You’re more than right about this joint, I’ve learned more about these bikes here than I ever imagined.

If you do that you have to trailer it everywhere.

I throw a .38sp on my hip when out in the woods or messing around places I might kick up one of those rattle headed copper moccasins or such. I don’t think anything about stopping in for a sandwich or cold drink somewhere, people don’t pay attention out in the country stores but look at you a little funny in town with a shooter on your side. Most Leo’s around here encourage packing, they understand they’re usually minutes away when seconds matter.

Yep. One of my firefighters brought a stiletto to work this week he got from Academy Sports. Our permit is Concealed Carry Weapon, not just firearm. That WWII prize would be perfectly legal here. I went to Wally World this morning and saw a guy with a Glock on his belt with extra mags. Not many open carry but it’s legal, I’d rather people not know if I’m strapped or not.
