Thanks, That's awesome. I have the Packtalk Bold because that's what our group uses. I would love to be able to connect the bike comms to that with full integration and a headset like this. I just haven't found anything that says it will work. Even the Sena Freewire says it may work. I have a lot to think about since I only use the Packtalk for handfree phone and group rides.

I was thinking about something similar but with the hinge inside the lid. Did you remove the plastics to do this? Is there room to put it inside. Some nice black Hex head bolts would make it look closer to factory.

We've done the this with our family vehicle for 20 + years. This year we expanded.

Welcome aboard. We look forward to seeing the work you are doing to the bike.

I've always loved the look of the Gen 1's. Can you share photos of your work / changes?

Sounds like a screen name change is in order Lord Voldemort

@ChiefGunner Can you update us on your experience.

Finally got lower wind deflectors the other day. spent Saturday installing those, a quick oil change and a few other TLC items. My youngest son was there to help too which made the day a lot of fun.

Blue shirt = Brad (Squidley), White shirt = Mike and the other mangy thing is me, Bob

It was a pleasure to me you and Lonna too. Glad we didn't break the camera with that pic.

I also found this thread here Barnett Clutch Kit & Spring Conversion - HELP - Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13) - Venture Rider

I used the Barnett clutch replacement kit with clutch plates and gasket. It was super easy. It was a job I was really worried about doing myself but was able to knock it out. That was before I found all the excellent advice here too. LOL. there a a lot of good YouTube videos too

I used to get Poison Ivy so bad they would give me shots for it. That was as a kid. I've had it as an adult only a few times but never as bad. I feel for ya.

Reminder for all. Looking forward to it also, a couple of Friends coming along. This will give it a bump too LOL

I agree. but I will leave one last link from my side. The craziness around all of this: https://www.theepochtimes.com/ohio-judge-orders-hospital-to-treat-ventilated-covid-19-patient-with-ivermectin_3972447.html?utm_source=sharenewsnoe. Nuts, I work in a big Law Firm and to have to sue to get treatment even when prescribed? Just Wow.

do you spit when you whistle? Are you a good whistler? That may play into the request too ;-O

That is pretty interesting. Early on the reports were that 6' social distancing should be enough to keep people from getting infected. That's still one of the battle cries to defend against infection. I wonder where the intake was and whether or not the individual in the room was the actual case 0 for that scenario. Could the infected individual even been in another room to have it travel via an air duct.

@Du-Ron Go ahead and wear your ribbon.

I read the whole article and I only draw on my own experience. Everyone I know from work (nationwide company) and personal friends who have been infected over the last several months have already been vaccinated except 2. I know of 26, with 1 dead (vaccinated) and 1 just the opposite of your argument as they had the vaccine and are having extreme side effects. She passed a comment to her boss that she wished she hadn't take it. Again both are the extremes There are going to be people on both sides of the extreme. Sad but true. As stated above there are fear mongers on both sides of this that are just insane. This Dr. Cobia is one of those people, if she even exists, from what I'm reading several people have searched for her and cannot find her. Dr. Brytney Cobia Does Not Exist. Prove Me Wrong. | claire (gab.com) Whether this Dr. exists really doesn't matter to me as there are many references from both sides of people, researches Drs. etc, that no one can find. Many valid researchers and Drs. are just plain being censored by big tech. Like this guy - Dr. Destroys the Entire COVID Narrative | Warren (gab.com) and many others that agree with him. No he has not treated hundreds or thousands of COVID patients but others like him have and they are being censored and blocked also. Even the Microbiologist I personally know was shut down for dissenting against Fauchi. You have to ask why are all these well educated Drs and Scientists being shut down? That answer is really the scary one. One last note: I'm not sure who said it above about taking animal medicine. You vaulted RNA vaccine and other regular COVID vaccines have been used in cattle and sheep for a very long time - at least a decade. The RNA vaccine base has been used with test with dogs before SARS-COV-2. Another article Bovine Coronavirus and the Associated Diseases (nih.gov) I don't understand some of this and I'll bet the majority in this thread don't understand it. My point, Nearly all medicines you take today are available in animal doses. That includes essentially the little blue pill 😉 that some here might use is used for breeding in its animal dose or format.

This just made me laugh.

One additional note: I don't believe that many here will change their mind. For me it is never about changing someone's mind on their own beliefs. If you feel you need or want the vaccine for whatever reason that's fine. If you feel you don't want the vaccine for any reason that's fine too. But know this I will never discriminate or berate you either way because it is our own choice in the end. At this point anyone of us could be a carrier, vaccinated or not.

I just found these quotes from recent articles: CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walenksy and others have cited studies saying that the vaccines don’t necessarily prevent transmission of COVID-19, but have stated that the shots limit the severity of the illness. and a preprint Israeli study that found that previous COVID-19 infection provides better protection against the Delta variant than any of the COVID-19 vaccines. “SARS-CoV-2-naive vaccinees had a 13.06-fold increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021,” the study reads. Again, When do we stop calling it break through infections?

I think you still have to take this as a whole of the population. That number is more like 0.0125% in the US. Unacceptable? Where I agree with this is in that it does not happen without Humans creating it though Gain of Function work. We all live to die, it is inevitable and sad but true. BTW I read a chart from WHO the other day and now I can't find it. It listed the Flu and Pneumonia both having more than 2x the number of deaths attributed to it than COVID though the first 4 or 5 months of the year. Wish I could find that now. I found that stupid meme that was supposedly based on it but I want the report again.

Thanks @ChiefGunner & @saddlebum. Speaking for myself I don't think the person has been born that can offend me, maybe tick me off a little but never offend. LOL

@Du-Rron There is a very valid reason why I don't trust a particular set of the data from both and it is a real simple concept. From the CDC, a memo that stated 6% of the COVID death total was actually due to only the COVID 19 virus. at the time Fauchi and the Media chastised anyone who made this statement. This is a Government Bureaucracy leadership blocking or trying to control their own data. Ask yourself why. I just learned a friend passed away. I spent many years working with him in Boy Scouts. He went with his grandchild on a campout with the scouts. When he came home a few days later felt ill, Went to the Dr. and had a severe lung infection that had become pneumonia. He became infected with the COVID19 virus and passed away a week later after that. Statistically he will be listed as a COVID death but from what we've been told they were not expecting him to survive the pneumonia. While listing him as a COVID death could be construed accurate it was really the pneumonia that was the largest factor in his death. BTW: He was fully vaccinated months ago. When do we stop calling them break through cases?
