  1. Would, have done that,,, but,,,, it's not there to do it to,, so I have to find another to practise on,,, but thanks for the idea.
  2. http://images.andale.com/f2/115/106/3561856/tnails/1067049263926_torpedo_shift.jpg Does this help?
  3. Had thought about that as well, but waiting to see if that one would work. It needs to have the right setting for the gearing to work. Thanks for the effort, I'm hoping somebody has the needed info as to whether these are compatible.
  4. Thanks, I already seen that one, that would cost me around $100 by the time it's all said and done,,,, nope, bike is only worth about $50, maybe, so now she would run the risk of somebody stealing it to get their hands on the shifter,, lol.
  5. I hope you noticed the operative word: vigorous,,, for sometimes that is an understatement.
  6. Now if them there jello cups were ice-cream cups instead, it could be a whole lot more interesting,,,, and we could lick it rather than spoon it.
  7. My mother-in-law had a folding bike, an Amica which she donated to one of my daughters, but in the process it made a stop in my shop to make sure it works good. It's a folding type with a three speed rear hub. What I need is the shifter part for the handle bar. It's a Torpedo Dreigang. The shifter is red. Seems that they may be a bit hard to find. Anybody want to part with theirs? I know you all have one,,,,,,
  8. Good to hear you made it safely, too bad for the scoot, hope you had it insured and that the end turns out OK. As long as you're moving the fumes will dissipate away from you, that changes when you stop as you have noticed. So there isn't as much chance of a fire when you're moving as much as when your sitting still. Fuel leaks are still dangerous no matter if your moving or not.

    OOPS!

    Somebody once said that there was no real reason to put a roof on an empty barn,,,,,, don't know what it's got to do with the subject at hand, but it's what came to mind so I'd thought to share,,,,, maybe change the subject a little,,, but then maybe not. It's also been said that a busy street don't grow no grass,, now what that has to do with a barn,,, or your head,, I'm not sure either,,, but it's late at night and I'm going to bed.
  10. SOME????? you say???
  11. And here I thought this was a Venture Riders event,,,, so what's the scoop? Well we would miss you I guess, you having been there every year so far!
  12. All that makes good sense, even the second part. The most forgotten one is to let some fresh air into the house. Got to air out the house at least once per week, so open a couple of windows when it a bit breezy, and put get Mary where she belongs.
  13. My red truck turned white,,,, well it's about time, we are almost ready!
  14. NOPE, I'm NOT Big Tom,,,, don't even look like him I think,,,,,sorry!
  15. I would say do a sync from scratch and then go from there. Let us know how you did or if you have more problems.
  16. Nothing staring me in the face there,,, but then what do I know,, I'll let the experts give their opinion.
  17. Took me 2 weeks to get mine to POP off,,, give it time and patience and constant trial and effort, and you will find the combination, but when it come off,,,, it COMES OFF!!!
  18. Looks like it got a bit hot. Can we see the other side?
  19. We'll be praying for you two as well. May He bless you in your time of trouble and help find what the problem is.
  20. Just seen this. Prayers for both of you, May He bless you well.
  21. My biggest concern would be: What broke the gear!, that may be more involved than what you might realize, but then if the price is right, the chrome may be the winner.
  22. Sounds like a road trip to me,,,, let's set up a time.
  23. Personally, I don't need a prize, and I don't buy the ticket to get one. I figure the reason for a rally is to get together, have fun, meet each other and get to know those who I haven't met yet. It's also kind of nice to ride together and see a bit of the country side, eat together, have a couple of drinks to stay hydrated and listen to a lot of BS. 'Winning' stuff that you really don't have any need for, or no desire for, just seems to get in the way. If we need to do this to raise funds to keep the cost down, then we should charge what we need to so cover expenses. If we do this to have fun, then there is me,, and some others,,, who get kind of bored during this process. But that is all my opinion, and now that I wrote it, you can read it.
  24. So Annie,,,,, I hear that you're not feeling feeling so good,,, would you like me to come over there to feel you better?
  25. It's Freebird's fault.
