Congrats on the GK's. I thought I was the only one with that many, and you're going to catch up quick with #19. I've pretty much settled a 19 for a while now. Working on GGK's. Five so with more on the way!! IT"S THE DOMINO EFFECT!!!!:rotf:

That's neat. Does that mean I have to buy a Wing with reverse since Yamaha feels that's beneath their R&D Dept.?
-
It WAS a fun day..............
-
Yeah, not much of an auction there.........
-
Here's Ludy's menu. I'm droolin' just reading it. I want one each???!!!!

Yup, I had one of those SBE's too. My first SSB unit. It was a great radio..... That one got legs too......
-
OK, If you say so.......

I think it might sound better if you say 'requires anyone to wear a helmet':rotf:

Johnson 23A... that's what my first CB was!! Dang if i could remember that.... It was stolden out of my truck... Had a Turner Power Mike with it. More things are coming back to me...

Scott. I don't think things have really changed that much. What has changed is the instant awareness that's afforded us thru internet families that have formed and grown. As families grow in size the chance of one of it's members having an accident increases, and instantly hearing about an accident increases. Before the internet we would have never heard about Gary and Leslie's accident and the results. I think you should consider this before making any rash decisions. Maybe a little hiatus away from riding might help. We all change our play toys from time to time, but making a life style change is a lot different. Hope you find 'fun' in anything you do. Good Luck.

I'm numb...... Way to much of this going on lately. Peace, Forgiveness, and Healing be upon you Gary.

WOW!! I'm having severe flashbacks. KQW7646. Central Valley 2513. I can still remember!! Never got into a base station, but ran various radios in my pickups for years. I used to put on lots of miles running between Sacramento and L.A. and talking to, or just listening to, other truckers BS'ing. Kept me awake. It even saved my cookies a couple of times. Once with a blown engine on the top of Donner Pass/I-80 in a snow storm. Thanks for passing a 5 and getting AAA to come up and get me 'Lug Nut'. Later found out his real name was Walter Nutt. Later in years, and a few radios, I ran a HiGain E640 (40 channel SSB) with a Palomar 175 watt bi-linier under the seat. Talked to a radio operator in Queensland Austrailia for over a half and hour when the evening skip rolled in on the west coast. Those were fun days.......:)

Coming back home from Ft Collins I wore my mesh in 102-105degs for just about the entire 600 miles from Idaho to Sacramento on the last day. It was nippy when I left ID, and had the liner in for the first 100 miles down to Wells NV., and then took it out....quick!! I was pretty comfortable in mesh mode....as long as I kept the R's up. Buy one...you'll like it.

not all of them. They usually put out have and have nots.

Geeze, i don't know about the rest of you, but I think it looks a lot like a 2ndGen with an extra header ....... http://www.motorcyclenews.com/upload/193491/images/Triumph12.jpg

Kit, I was just trying to make play on words based on your statement... 'So the score was 34/3. No helmets won!' (sic). Sorry it sounded like I was getting after you or where you stand on the hemet issue. I also wear my helmet ATT (all the time). Hey, as horizontally challenged as I am I've bang'd my head a few times over the years...and it hurts. Don't want to do it off a scoot. "To wear or not to wear...that is the question".... a little Shaky Spear pun.
-
Nice observation Kit. Now, let me ask you this. How many deaths occured over the last year where the rider was not wearing a helmet vs. those that were? Wonder who the winners are now? There's always a flip side to every statistic.......
-
I don't think running pure Sea Foam in the engine was what was suggested. Adding Sea Foam to the dino oil for a couple of changes was, and is recommended on the Sea Foam website. Hope nothing was damaged internally when you did this. Bet it was super clean afterwards.....

Pretty simple. They think it looks 'cool', or they like the open feeling, the wind in their hair,....... and bugs in their teeth.... But it's their choice, and not ours to understand.

Wow!! This subject has opened up a can of worms..... So I'll toss a worm into the fray just because.... First I think every rider should be able to choose to ride helmetless as a matter of personal freedom. I don't like being told what to do as much as the next guy. I also don't think there should be laws mandating helmet usage.... in any state. Here's what I do think. Leave it up to the insurance company's. Give the rider a choice. Sell a policy that has a premium based on losses for no helmet riders, and another that has premiums based on riders who wear helmets. Of course the non-helmet policy will have a higher premium due to higher accident claims, and visa-versa for helmet wearers. Now......if a rider opts for the lower cost 'helmet' insurance, and has an accident not wearing his or her helmet, the medical part of the insurance is null and void. Seems pretty simple to me. Ya gotta pay to play.

If your battery checks out OK, check the lead from the relay and from the ground for corrosion. Sounds like you either have a bad batt or corroded contacts, and not getting enough amps to turn the starter over. Now if this is happening when it's hot... not uncommon on the 1stGens... you may want to replace the cables with a heavier guage. Squidley used to make them, but I believe it's been taken over by onther one of our members???

Dang!! Exposed.........

Wow!! Since I've only imagined it, and have never really seen it in the wild, it took me a while to figure out just exactly what I was looking at... Cool!!
