  1. Those gauges are all different,. The only way to know for sure what the temp is you need to check it with an infrared gauge. Mine used to run on cold until the weather really got warm and the fan would lick in just before the red,,,, but like I said, they're all different.
  2. No problem then,,,, see you when you get there. Would you like me to get a beer ready for you??? oh never mind, you want it cold,,right??
  3. I'm going to have to see this in person, so when are you coming to visit?
  4. Will there be enough room to sit? will they have enough food? do I have to eat somebody else's meal? will FreeBird be on time? do they have real beer? is it going to be hot, or cold? will it rain on my parade? will somebody try to outclass my Spyder? Lots of questions that won't have any answers until it happens,,, and if you don't attend we can tell you stories 'til the cows come home,, What a great way to start the annual BS session!
  5. Just there to make all you post watchers feel good,,,,,
  6. Yep,,, bet they would,,, and guess what it is that they use.
  7. Well I wouldn't say they were 'full swing' operators,, at least not here,,,, but I get your drift. Guess they figured it cheaper this way, rather than a possibility of loosing in 5 finger discount.
  8. OR???? spring pull switch?
  9. Micro-switch??
  10. Seeing as you drilled the head off, the point of the drill bit you used will leave a centering dimple in the remainder. Now go slow, using first a small bit and then ever larger. Don't jumps sizes and make sure they are sharp. Take your time to make sure you are going straight is also important. It'll work, just don't push it.
  11. If you did it carefully and used a drill the just fit the bore you should have a dip in the centre of the screw that will guide a super small bit into the centre of the screw. I would suggest to start with a 1\16 bit, and work a little at a time. Slowly, carefully drill the brass out of there, careful not to go past the threaded part or you'll end up buggering up the pilot hole. Drill a fes rounds, blow it out, check it, drill a few more rounds. Once you get through the threads the rest will fall out, no need for a bit down that far. If everything is still in place with the 1\16 bit, go the next size up,,,,,,, and oh,,, don't use a dull bit.
  12. I guess the word that concerns the most is 'in-experience'. You used it, we didn't, so it's how you feel. May I suggest that you first need to feel more at home solo, before you attempt to grow beyond that?
  13. I hope they're not Harleys,,, be kind of difficult getting Yammer to follow with a trailer, and you know oil floats,,,, right??? Have fun
  14. As you move the lever with the cover off, take the handle of a screw driver and lightly tap the hose connection end of the cylinder. There is air trapped at that end and you need to get that out. It also helps to turn the handle bars to the right so that the MC is in the highest position.
  15. hey,,, how come I didn't see ya,,, don't stop and say Hello anymore????
  16. Oh Oh,, there goes the neighbourhood!!!! Congrats Dave,, does that mean we have to get the coffee ready???

  20. You are opening a big box of trouble,,, but I can understand where you are coming from and going. I have a daughter, married, 5 kids. She has ridden with me once and enjoyed it, her husband rides, all her kids now ride moto-cross. At one point I was going to take her oldest son to MD in Ohio, an all day ride, but she said, no-way, it's too far. I did not ride any of her kids after that. The relationship I have with my family is more important than a ride on a bike. If something would have happened on that ride, that is something that would always be between us, even if there had been no complications. So be careful how you handle your relationships. Her parents don't seem to be very active at this point, but,,,, wait until something happens to her that can be blamed on somebody else, anybody else,,,, then you'll see activity that has never been seen before. I can understand what you are trying to do for her, and blessings in your endeavor. Further: her feet must reach the boards flat footed, she must learn how to mount and dis-mount properly without fail, she must be able to follow instructions as to what to do and what not to do and do it at the right times, or you two, both of you, will end up in the soup. Taking a curve and having her lean the wrong way is enough to get you out of your proposed track and end up in a totally different location then you might have first intended, and if that is in the opposite lane, then that is an issue. While you are in motion, 30km or faster, you can tell her she can move and wave and do almost anything (except jump off), but when in slow speed or stopped she needs to be a 'bag of wheat', no motion, no waving, no shifting, AND no getting off until she's ok'ed it with you. In corners she is also to be a 'bag of wheat' and sit where and how she was put, no leaning off one side or the other, just to stay with the axis of the bike. Make sure she is all leathered up, properly fitting helmet, jacket, lowers, boots, gloves. Not just some cheapos, but descent stuff, it'll not only protect her, but you as well, incase of a miss-hap. Get used to riding 2-up before you take her, experience on your part will help tremendously. By this I mean, at least a couple of day-long rides with a full sized passenger. You will be giving her a life value that will stay with her for a long time, possible memories that will help build her character and self esteem, but it needs to be done well,,,, one little screw up and you'll wish that you had chosen a different path.
