  1. At first I thought that maybe we changed too early, but then a thought occurred to me,,, Safety!!! The Spyder still sits about the same height as a bike where the other two are quite a bit lower,,,, depending on how you measure it could be about a foot. That fact would cause you to be less seen and noticed, as well as putting your line of vision lower so you have less visual on the traffic around you. Seeing as we already have problems with cagers and other identifying us, I don't think buying one of these would be a move I would want to make...... Looks like fun though, but not on the freeway or city traffic,,,, no sir, no way.
  2. If you really want to get things done,,,,,,, DON'T RETIRE!!!!!!!!!, You'll be busier than you've ever been,,,,,, mind you,, you'll also have a bit of time to do things you wanted to do,,, but not all of them. Blessings brother,,, enjoy!
  3. Keep it coming Evan,,, you're doing almost as good as Ann.
  4. Get a drill bit that is almost the same size as the bore. Drill out the head of the screw and in doing so you will get a perfect center for a smaller bit. Go easy so as not to drill too deep and seeing as it's brass it won't take much. Once you have the centering, use a small bit to drill out the rest, again go easy. Once that is done an easy-out should finish the job.
  5. OK we'll let you stay now,,,, thanks for the pictures.:happy65:
  6. And you didn't Evan ask me if you could go,,,,,,,, kids now-a-days!!!! Well,, now that your out there,,,, have fun,, see you when you get back.
  7. Sounds like we missed another good one,,,,, now if it were a weekend earlier we could maybe make it,,, seeing as the weekend before Labor Day is already booked for next year and Labor day weekend would not work great for the rest of us I bet.
  8. Good to hear you two took some time together. Now if you would have come to Ontario instead, you could have enjoyed real company or absolute solitude,,, your choice! maybe we could even have bought you some lunch,,,, oh well, enjoy anyways! And oh,,,,,, we need some pictures,,,,, outside only please.
  9. Hope you heal well and soon my dear boy, make sure you do as 'mother' tells you. Funny how something you built to save you in case of trouble, comes out to bite you in the back so to speak.
  10. Lifting up prayers for your puc. Haven't met you yet, but if I do I would want you to be 'normal',,,, I'm thinking that would be wild enough for the first round anyways.
  11. I use the 3m stuff mostly,, put some stuff on the Venture 10 years ago and it's still there as it was then. It's a little thick so if I need something thinner I use UGlu. It thin, absolutely miserable to work with, super sticky, and you need a world of patience, but it works! http://www.13deals.com/images/products/uglu_offer_01.jpg
  12. Do they make them in Blue???? and where do you put the Seafoam???
  13. Marcarl

    wont rev

    Sounds to me that it's fuel related. Try some Sea-foam first, heavy dose, a whole can in less than 1\2 tank. Run that through, and then change the plugs,,,, report back. Could also be the little vacuum hose on the left side come off the intake or is cracked.
  14. Nice, real nice,, now you just keep smiling,,,, cause we got your back!
  15. So if you drill down to the important items, you have a decision to make between lots of noise or lots of BS. So you either loose some of your hearing or some of your thinker, or you lay awake for hours trying to settle the brain or clear the memory,,,,,,!,,, decisions, decisions!
  16. That was some sweet looking scoot. Hope you enjoy bringing it back to life. Also glad you are ok, heal well.
  17. Told Marca that maybe we pulled the trigger too early, but we is sure happy with what we have. Hope it goes well for you two, I'd say it kind of fits.
  18. Put it in second Dan, still lots of get up and go.
  19. My mother always said the a new Sunday shirt was good for 2 weeks, so using common sense then, a new oil change should last twice as long as a used oil change. Now on a Spyder they recommend 15,000km after the first 5000km, so I should be god for a bit yet. You were looking for BS weren't you?
  20. Just don't leave the site,, simple.
  21. They are in the bag under the sink, I used them last night when the water flowed over the edge and the ice cube tray feel off the rocker. Oh yes, welcome, we love you to.
  22. No problem for me. Thought I would be missing hiway pegs, but so far so good. When solo I would like them maybe sometimes, but mostly I don't miss them. If I do mount them, I'll have to deal with the fact that my foot is further away from the only brake on the machine, not good, so I would be tempted to add a hand brake as well.
  23. Is a Spyder a trike??? Can I come? Can I come?
  24. I think that is you, Is it raining there yet ? Can't see enough to comment otherwise.
  25. Guess the only question I can answer without a further extended investigation would be the first one and the last one. In reply to the first one,,,,,,,, no, it can't keep up with traffic, but it does sport 2 review mirrors to let the rider know if there is anything from behind that could constitute traffic. I find that I have mostly open road ahead of me. And now for the color. It's actually 3 tone, mostly it's congac, but there is some black, and just for good measure, some chrome added for contrast. It's really quite easy on the eyes and somewhat different than the burnt orange that some car manufactures use. It seems to be liked by a lot of folks, much to my dismay. So often it happens that as others are turning corners and such, they slow down to take a longer look, and then they look some more,,,,,,,,, sure can slow a feller down I tell ya. I really do like the color though and I think I will leave it that way for a while at least. I was thinking about painting it, but then I realized that it would probably turn out to be the same color,,, seeing as I like it so much,,, so then why bother,,,,,,, instead, I decided to clean it again,,,,,,,,, just to show off the color some more. And now an answer to your cassette question,,,,,,, it holds multiple cassettes, they just don't seem to want to play,,,, probably some new technology that my old brain can't seem to get around. I've put lots of them in there, but so far only my media player seems to be active. Maybe I don't know what it's supposed to look like, so maybe somebody with more knowledge of these high tech gizmoes can be of help, seeing a lot of members here ride and deal with the Venture on a daily basis.
