    Shift happens

    (Dan 12:4 NIV) But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge."
  2. Man that snow looks fluffy and cosey, can hardley wait to get some time off and test it out.
  3. A little shocked would be the word when I read the title of this thread. Glad to hear that they are ok. Thank the Good Shepherd for His guidance.
  4. There is defiantly something wrong with that water, seems it bleached all the color from his body, but not his neck and face, but then look at Charlie, someone must have dunked him under, he's all white.
  5. Nah we'll keep it on the bright side, you watch.
  6. I'm sure you screwed up somewhere, I just don't know where yet, but give it 6 months to a year and someone will find a discrepancy. . Personally at this time and this place with the information I have at this time, and given the direction which to me was informed by others of a more broader knowledge base and experience, notwithstanding that there is a outside possibility that with a firmer grip on the handle of this subject matter, I would, in the extreme, think (ooppps)that maybe I would think otherwise, I at this time would offer to you that I am somewhat in agreement with the aforesaid statement, although maybe not in it's entirety or nor being totally relied upon to be agreed.
  7. A good friend of mine, Don Gibson, Pres. of the OMSA, related this story to us when in MC training. (Don rides what ever, is not fuzzy and thinks all bikes have good points and some draw backs. He doesn't even mind my Road Sofa, thinks if it works for me, he's all for it.)( Oh ya, he has only one hand and a short arm on the right but still rides) One day Don was tootin down the road in his Mazda PU when he encounters a motor cycle broke down along side the road. As is, and was his habit, he stopped to see if the assistance he could give would be accepted and lo and behold it was, for the rider and scoot were dead in the water. Don, being somewhat mechanically inclined, proceeded to inspect the scoot to see if repairs could be done, but alas, it was not to be fixed on the roadside, so he offered to load the scoot in the back of the PU and take rider and bike to their place of residence. As they climbed in the truck, Don asked where the rider was from, which he then found out was NY state, about a 3 hour run. No matter to Don, he had some time and a fellow rider was in trouble, so he was going to help as best he could, so, onto NY they went. The rider not knowing Don very well and being in love with his 'all American made ride' began to talk MC, which suited Don just fine, seeing as at one point in his life he actually raced MCs. During the following conversation the rider began to degrade everything that wasn't American made, and this irked Don somewhat, but he let it ride, for a while, until he had to come to the defense of off shore scoots. At that point he asked the rider that if off shore products where no good for anything, then why was it, that when his ALL American made scooter broke down, it was fine to load it in the back of a Japanese truck and so bring it and himself to their destination. Don said the rest of the trip was very peaceful.
  8. The more noise they make, truth or fiction, the more people watch, the more they watch, the more ads they see, the more ads they see the more ads are generated, all the more reason to build up a good story and the cycle starts all over. Ya,,,,,,,,, something like that
  9. Charlie?????????Where have you been????? they're all starting to like us again, come on man, can't handle this for too long, and then all by myself!!!!!!!just, shows to go ya, what happens when you start riding the competition, you forget all about where you got started.
  10. If thom can't get you out of a pickle, post again, maybe some ideas floating in my head, trouble is, there seems to be sooo much room nowadays.
  11. Good stuff, a grand thought for a New Year. You can stay with us for a while longer, you're a keeper for posting that.
  12. Don't know why someone didn't close the lid before they took the picture. I'll tell ya, photogrphers nowadays, just have no sense at all.
  13. Oh Ya I'M JEALOUS, can't you tell
  14. SO you want the white stuff, and just how did you expect it to get there? Maybe the government next year wil get it neatly put along side the roads and driveways, and make it so that it will withstand temperature of 50 degrees or more. Maybe while they're at it they can also create a new holiday for bikers that starts on Jan 01 and finishes just before Christmas. Ah never mind all that fool stuff, just enjoy your R&R and forget about us poor working stiffs who are growing colder each day and maybe soo cranky by May that it will all summer for us to thaw out.
  15. If you run stuck, we have members right around the corner from you who probably wouldn't mind having a reason to spend time away from their Ohhhh, S??????????? man now I forgot the name, but it don't matter, some else will help out I'm sure.
  16. Nice post, gonna wannta gooa therea soona, but where the snow?
  17. Waltons, you still watch them? Wow and you said that you're ahead of us? Good show though God Bless you all Carl
  18. There's a how to: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=496&highlight=forks+seal+replacement Need some physical help? that may also be possible. Where do you live. Someone may be close enough to help out, we've been known to do that before, and may do again if prompted
  19. Just got some from SuperBright but haven't installed them yet. I'll post my findings when I do. Bought some from CTC that didn't do the trick, they were bright enough but very little difference in the daytime when the brakes come on, so I'll try these and let you know.
  20. Go for it, It's brand new and never been rode before. It's only gonna last a wee while so use it like goin'a wastin'.
  21. Often times the wick will get hard on the end and then refuse to go down, so you need to trim the wick occasionally. Some folks would trim it lower on the ends than in the middle giving them more fire than with a straight wick, now that is for lamps and may not apply to heaters. As for the fuel, stays good almost until you use it. If it is gelled, as this is what will show it's age, mix with some fresh and with probably work just fine.
  22. That's what I would be checking right after the rear shock and before I ride. Pegscraper knows!!
  23. Maybe this will help, but you might need help to acess it. http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:lAJ62eqfb69q6M:http://www.blog.rlarmstrong.com/images/long_rear_view_02.jpg
  24. Did you actually go out to look, or are you going from memory?
  25. What thing about Onatrio and BC, everyone knows how good Ontario is, there's no need to talk about it any longer, BC knows it's place, it's a way out on the far end of the country, got to be a reason our forebears gave it that spot out there, but left Ontario in center stage.:happy65:
