  1. Good lookin scooters,,,, now you have more decisions,,,, good luck!
  2. Don't sweat it Richard, cooler days coming, and then there be Snow!!!
  3. We are planning to spend a few days riding in the Kawartha\Eastern Ontario region. We are staying away from any big cities, want to spend time seeing country. Anything in that area that should be visited, lake cruises? places to eat well? museums? lookouts?
  4. I won't be able to make this event for the next two weeks. Gonna be riding the Kawarthas next week and the week after I got a meeting. Should be able to join in on the 5th again.
  5. I would think that the coffee would run out when it's on it's side like that,,,, but hey, all the more reason to stop for another cuppa.
  6. I'd go with getting the wrong jets in the wrong places when you redid the carbs,,, can give you all kinds of issues.
  7. There he goes again,,, what a nice guy,,,, sure goes well and you deserve it.
  8. If your slide doesn't fit well, and the insert won't stay put, my guess is the slide is cracked. hard to see sometimes, but if you get the light just right you'll see it.
  9. Before putting the dust seal back on, squirt a wee bit of Fluid Film onto the washer, should stop any future rusting and will not hurt any of the components. So whereabouts are you in Ontario,, maybe get you some company if desired.
  10. All that has been said is excellent info, keep in mind also that it's a good thing to keep the rpm above 3000 for a good power band, i think you'll find a bit of a difference so it will need a good cleaning and going over if it's not missing then maybe you have poor fuel delivery give it a good going over and be happy
  11. Try a bit of oil in the lever bearing, but not on the master piston
  12. I noticed,,, yep shade tree right there, off to the side,,, vice grips and an Ohio tri-pod,,, all the right makin's,,, just missing the beer.
  13. So when do you suppose that kit might make it back to it's original owner,,, and who has it now??
  14. So who did you meet,,, did he represent us well??? Gotta keep an eye on this you know. By the way,, you still got my shim kit?? could use it back sometime.
  15. Ride tonight: Plans: Meeting @ Madeleine road Leave @ 6:30 head to lake, east of Port Dover. Follow lake to Dunnville Ice cream @ Grand Island BBQ Say: we're heading home,, and follow the Grand River back.
  16. Wondered what that flashing button was for,,,, what a site, I get smarter every day.
  17. Oooooooo!!!!,,,, where is it that you live????? I mean,,, well I meant to mean,,,, well that's just mean,, is what I mean,,,,, good party though,,, getting married again soon??? could use another beer and try some more Apple Pie,,,, oh ya,, the recipe?
  18. Ya my thoughts exactly a couple of years ago,,,, but then I closed my brain, (never mind your comments Ben) and bought one anyways. Bought the RT, which is the real 2 people touring model. Had to ride it now that this Dutchman spent the money. Put on a couple of thousand km before I somewhat got the hang of it. After 12k I wouldn't trade it back again. Nothing wrong with my legs or the ability to hold a 2 wheeler up, and sometimes I look at a Venture and have a yearning,,, until I get back on the Spyder, and then I forget all about those two wheels. Not an ideal machine for long legged folks though, although the F3 does address those issues but they don't have a touring model in the F3 yet.
  19. It's an oil level warning light,,,,which doesn't mean that you are out of oil but that the level is getting to the point that if it goes any lower there could be an issue. As long as it doesn't stay on you should be good to go. Usually when that happened on my 85, I would be sure to check the oil level at the next fuel stop to verify. There is no indicator for oil pressure or anything else to indicate that you have any oil in the oil system, so if your pump should not be pumping oil, you wouldn't know, until something started screaming. Some guys have added an oil pressure sensor so that problem could be observed, but my understanding is that the oil pressure is so little at idle that it would scare the bejeebers out of you each time you came to a stop.
  20. OK Hugger,,, I'm here,, finally,,, both barrels loaded!!!!!! 12 gauge and cocked!!! Patmac: You asked the question, you seem to have a feeling that you aren't so happy with,,, so,,, wave and get rid of the feeling,,, now you can be happy. Brenner: Spyder riders are the most friendliest bunch of folks on the road. Initially we waved at everybody,,,, mostly because we couldn't figure out who rode what and what belonging really meant. We wrongly thought that a bike and a trike were all the same,, but the new translation seems to say that in order to be classified as a trike there needs to be 2 wheels on the back,, so Spyder riders were out of luck so to speak, because if we put another wheel on the back it would now be a 4 wheeler,,, and we would be soooo different. During the short time that us ryders of REAL bikes,, lol,,, have been available to wave to, there are a few that have not figured out yet that we are actually riders,,, not drivers, but riders. So very often we would bless others by the wave of our left appendage and receive nothing in return. Therefore being somewhat new to this way of life, we took it to mean that it wasn't proper to reach out to the under-privileged,,those having only 2 wheels to ride on. It seems though, that we were a bit hurried in our assumptions, and that it doesn't really matter whether there are 2 wheels on the front end, or 2 wheels on the trailing part,,, a trike has 3 wheels and therefore the odd creation called Spyder is in fact a trike, and so deserves the designation of Trike, and that of course would mean that Spyder Ryders need to be waved at. Now that may have been established by the higher-ups, but takes a bit to get to the rank and file. So keep waving at those Spyder guys Brennner, sooner or later we'll park that machine long enough so that together we can have conversation and explain that it's a limit on available production that has only a select few riding these machines at present,, but as time goes on and production increases, everybody will be able to have their very own Spyder on the road. When that happens, there won't be any more worries on the part of 2 wheelers,,, whether to wave or not to wave,,,, even The Brand will succumb and have their very own edition,,,,, oooooo that will be fun!!!

    Yammer didn't say he couldn't catch him,,, he just said 'hard',,,,,, 'course he was speaking for most everybody here,,, almost everybody.
  22. The higher the mount the better the light distribution, and lower down you also hide the lights for daytime runners. Looks cool down low, but not as effective.
  23. Haven't had anything broke that I can think of,,, and it don't sound like I want to anytime soon either. Keeping you in out prayers,,, heal soon!!!
  24. Looking forward to you coming north,,,, winter is an awesome time here,,,, they even bring in special orders of that white stuff just to make everything look clean,,,,, February would be best,,, and oh,, it's not so hot here then either. Let us know when you get close,, we'll gather!
  25. Will be asking for His intervention. May you rely on His promises and safe keeping. Keep us posted!
