I get coffee at a local gas station for a whopping 40 cents a cup.

Thanks, I’m moving my daughter to Huntsville Friday, not sure if the wife can go because of recent surgery. If she doesn’t go I’ll ride the bike and detour through Asheville on the way home.

Same here on guns and ammo, what I should’ve said they only stock long gun ammo and very little of that even when it’s readily available. I went to an Academy yesterday and the only handguns they had were either revolvers or high dollar stuff, ammo shelves were near empty. Their fishing section was nearly as bad.

The Walmart here doesn’t stock guns anymore and has very little ammo. All the surrounding towns Walmart’s keep a good selection of long guns.

starting to see a pattern here? You guys are gonna cost me a lot of money. AAHHHH MonsterBiker you’re starting to catch on. This place is like going to the circus, the $12 ticket to get in is a drop in the bucket to what it costs to stay.

Long story short, there’s a chance I may show up over there Friday evening and Saturday morning. Is there an itenerary Saturday? If I can make it happen I’d like to meet some of y’all I haven’t seen at Don’s or WNY.

Bob was one of the first VR members I met and welcomed me in the group. I think of him often, and usually laugh when I do. Happy Birthday brother.

Those weights are vibration dampers. I’d hate to lose mine.

I have their running lights/turn signals and like them. It looks like you’d have to get rid of the bar weights to use these though.

The only thing I see missing are butts in the seat. Hope you can make time to enjoy it.

Before these 3rd gen spaceships came out the only belt adjustments going on around here were after Dinner.

Depending on clothing I have a Taurus 5 shot .357 snub in an ankle holster or a Glock 43X 10+1 under my shirt. Every now and then I’ll carry an Armi Tanfoglio .380 7+1. When traveling the 357 is in the console beside me.

I made a bracket from aluminum angle and came off the back bolt of the passenger foot board. Later I built passenger Highway pegs and integrated the horn mount into those. I can’t get the pics to upload from the phone.

Here is a deal if anybody needs them. I gave that much for one. He has em listed as 1st gen MKII but they’re 2nd https://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-93-Yamaha-Venture-Royale-Trike-Motorcycle-Left-Right-Saddlebags-Tools/373077379470?hash=item56dd25098e:g:jXcAAOSwE0BezKMg

I’ve got some big ones for play but a new Glock 43X showed up in my kit today. It will join the ranks of my CCWs.

First time I read that my pea brain saw Jackson MS. Not Jackson MI. Wife immediately said go get it (remember what she said about the third gen). Don’t know what’s got into the girl, she’s usually fussing to quit buying toys. Haven’t yet confessed to ordering that new Glock 43X.

When the speedo is corrected the odo will be slowed. You’ll show fewer miles than really traveled. I’d rather have the speedo than odometer being correct.

I’m sure someone will chime in and correct me if I’m wrong but if you bid on another one it needs to be 86-93. I don’t think the 1st gen MK1 and MK2 are the same.

No I decided to pass. It’s a heck of a deal but from the beginning I’ve been against the air cooked V Twin, I’m a fan of water cooled 4s. The technology on it is too much for me, I like simple things I can fix without a scanner. My first impulse was to buy it and see if I liked it then decide to sell one of them, I figured there’s a profit to be made even reselling from new but I’m happy with what I’ve got.

Oh yeah, she’s fine. It was a compression fracture in the lumbar area, dont remember which one. I crushed two in the same area 34 years ago. I can tell her it’ll be a bit painful when she’s my age 😬😬😬. She’s thinking of Ortho surgery or emergency right now, she just finished her neuro rotation and really enjoyed pediatric neuro. I don’t think I could handle working with kids in that situation, it takes a special person. She’ll pick her residency next year. Thanks for asking about her.

Use the factory wires only to power the relay magnet. Run a wire large enough to carry the horn amperage Through the relay to power the horn. Be sure to use the appropriate fuse close to the battery

If I remember correctly mine was off 7 or 8%. The DRD put it on the mark.

You need to run a hot wire from the battery through a relay. Use the factory wires to trip the relay.

Both of mine did well with their first ones. They were decent looking cars but mechanically sound. The oldest wrecked her college car breaking her back. I rebuilt it and a drunk hit it parked in a lot and totaled it. I got her a two year old Nissan with a rebuilt title from a deer hit she’s been driving for 5 years. I hope I’m done buying them cars. One’s about done with med school and the other is starting in aerospace engineering so they should be able to afford nicer ones than I’ll buy anyway.

I’d love to help with the testing @cowpuc but as good as the deal is I’m gonna pass on it. The fact I have a 13 year old bike that I don’t mind riding in the rain or feel the need to keep polished up and looking showy is right up my alley. If I buy a new one I’ll worry about keeping it perfect instead of just riding. I feel the same way about my trucks, I can work em hard and earn a few scratches without hurting my feelings.
