    Had to be the longest hour drive you ever had to make,,,,, sure they say that they are ok, but you really need to see for yourself. Wish you guys the best, and God Bless.

    We'll be thinking and praying for you bro. I know you didn't ask for us to pray, but we will anyways. In the meantime,,, all the best.

    Congrats on the whole issue. Retirement means that you now get busy,,,, all that stuff you were going to do when you had time? is just going to have to wait a little longer. Kids are now out if the house? time to fill the spaces with woman things and put on an addition. Grandkids have arrived? Better get limbered up, you just have NO IDEA!!!! Enjoy life as it comes, it only comes your way once!

    I have mine set up on a separate switch, I can then turn them off or on at will, I can also use them to do a battery check in some far off parking lot,,, but that is another story. I run mine day and night and the only time I use my low beams is when somebody is approaching me at night. I like to be seen,,,, I don't want to be aggravating, but to be seen is paramount. Often time when I see a MC coming towards me in the daytime with their low beam on, it says nothing to me, it's just another color of the bike, but when I see one coming with the high beam on I have no problem noticing their presence. That's the point I like to make to anybody approaching me. I need to be seen, and noticed and I like to tell them that I've paid for the piece of road that I'm on and so have a right to travel on my way uninterrupted.

    I've seen a ball snap off for no apparent reason and more than once seen them unscrew. Just don't think that it will never happen to me. And that trailer belongs behind the tow vehicle, not in somebody else's face that had nothing to do with it. The trick is to keep the chains as short as possible. Just put them on and then jack knife the trailer to see how short they really can be, you might be surprised how little room is necessary. When the chains are short, there is very little drop and so minimizes the effect on the tow vehicle, I'm not saying there will be no effect, but it should be controllable. If the chains are too long then the tongue will have more room to swing around and cause havoc, or worse, drop to the pavement and upset the apple cart and everything on it or in it. If you really want to tow a trailer, and I do, then it's our responsibility to ensure the safety of those around us,,,, sure we really don't want this thing coming off and then be swinging behind us and causing us to travel in unplanned directions, but then what would we say if somebody else's trailer came off their unit and run straight into our path causing us to do a rough and tumble.

    Ya for me it's the truck, $125.00 the other truck $125.00, the bike $20.00 and the car $75.00 = $340.00. Time to go back to work, can't gas the lawnmower.

    I know you won't be able to control yourself, so why not send it to me for save keeping and in the meantime Marca can test it out to see if it works the way it's supposed to. Keep it wrapped up though, that way she'll be happier, she likes her gifts in fancy paper.

    When I did this in 2004 on Sunday morning they had us riding across car tires and over tettertotters and 2x4s and then over a 3' high ramp. That's when I thought that I went for MC training and and not stunt riding, and thought that the fun was over and I was going home,,,,,,, but I didn't and passed the course and had fun doing it,,,,, maybe should do it again. Have FUN!!!!

    This is the end that plugs into the CB unit. I made up my own so that I could run it through the faring and so try to get less static. I powered mine from the radio leads so that I had constant power to keep the preset, so the channel stays where you put it, otherwise it goes back to channel 9 everytime you shut it off. I did away with the splitter thought and now run 2 antennas. Looks better that way too, must be because Yammie decided on 2 for the second gens,, they had to have soemthing good looking! PS I put on my own power connector.

    If you have oil coming from there, it's best to check it out, or sooner or later you'll run out of that slippery stuff and then you'll be on here complaining about some noise and a slow running engine that now refuses to start. Check to make sure that the oil is coming from under the clutch cover, it may be coming from up higher, so it's best to define the exact location. If it is the clutch cover, carefully try to tighten the bolts holding it on, don't over tighten these, and if you have one that is loose, that might fix your problem, if not, put the scoot on the side stand, remove the cover and then deal with a new gasket. If you need help with that,,, post again.

    And here I thought you were going to get a REAL bike,,,, oh well, guess this will have to do. Even so, we'll let you ride with us anyways, and join us at our M&Gs. Nice lookin' scoot, now get it off the trailer and on the road.
  24. Marcarl
    Good one,,,, thanks for sharing part of your life and you feelings. Sometimes there are others who feel the same way, but can't seem to put it to words, or able to define the moments they way you did,,,,, thanks for helping us.
