  1. Now that you brought up the subject, the last time we hugged weren't you the one who was commenting about a spare tire? or was that somebody else?

    Air?

    Found the link to the news article. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/expert-covid-19-isn-t-containable-and-canada-should-focus-on-protecting-seniors-1.4842922
  3. Better to have Ben doing the speachifing, he can get anyone confused, and as for the red dots, you need to ride a Spyder so you can gets out the way quickly. I hear those red dots can burn holes in ya. Really was looking forward to seeing you again,,, but family come first, always first!!!, you just never know how long you have each other,,, so enjoy!! I never pick the wrong lane,,, it's the folks in front of me who should have gone into the slow lane.
  4. @saddlebum can says what he wants, it's still a free country and I guess that's why soo many Dutchmen moved here. As far as the hugging thing goes,,, he can be the best,,, that's just fine with me,,, but it means that I still have room to practice some more. There is a picture that come to mind, and it's a pyramid of crows with four at the bottom and one at the top, the one at the top is all nice and clean but the ones on the lower tiers are covered in white stuff to some degree,,, the caption says to look up or something like that,,, I'm ok where I'm at!! Moped don't owes me nothin', best he spend what he has on a new tire...... and hug from Mama.

    A Canadian doctor has it right I think. He says that we will not stop this virus from spreading and all we are doing at this point is prolonging the agony. He says what we need to do is to plan to protect the most vulnerable, so keep an eye on where it is active and then take the necessary precautions to deal with it, but to try to stop this thing or contain it will only stretch the activity to a much longer period of time, have a dramatic effect on all of us, even those without any problems. Most people would only have to deal with nothing more than maybe what they would should they get a cold or a flue. Really, I think the news people needed something to have folks watch their shows and this came at a perfect time for them. Disclaimer: Some thoughts are my own.
  6. Easy Now!!! you might be giving some folks the wrong ideas, might even loop us together in the same group.
  7. With my looks and your ???????? it might work, we'll take Ben along for distraction.
  8. Opps,,,, sorry, didn't mean to get you all upset,,,,,, scatter-gun???
  9. I have no idea,,, what's its supposed to do??? fire off equal rounds in the same direction?? looks to me like a super blunderbus.
  10. Another thing to keep in mind Miss Peggie, is that Moped maybe looking after your best interests, after all, why replace an old tire with another old tire,,, a feller needs to get the freshest one available, so he waits,,, waits for all the old ones to get sold to others and so a day or two before you really can't wait anymore, you order your new tire. That way you are assured that you have the freshest tire on the market and it will last to the furthest date possible,,,,,yep,, Moped is doing a good job and you might well spend a few words to compliment him on his concern for your welfare.
  11. I'm thinking that I will staying at the Ready Roof Inn as per usual. Tanks Don for doing this again,, really looking forward to this event.
  12. I don't remember if I got hot with customs, usually not I would dare to say. Even HST was often forgotten if the total bill wasn't worth them collecting the HST amount.
  13. Nahhhh not to worry your pretty little head off there sister, a feller has to do what he has to do, and maintenance day is just what it means, that's when it's TIME to do those things, or at least as close as possible,, so the night before is most ideal.
  14. Iffen you tink dat u is thes only ones habbin a birfday then you 'as a surprise comen,,,, dat dar lady, she be wery bisy lately,, she's gonna be a tad bit holder when and iffen she gets to yah.
  15. YEP!!!! you gots that right!!! And Thanks for sharing.
  16. OK, I will stand corrected, thanks!!
  17. It ain't easy being me!!! And I can tell you might have your struggles as well. Happy birthday to old dude, may you be blessed with many more in good health.
  18. Depending on what was done already I suppose, but here goes. Get a new one!!!! No NO NO!!! don't do that, these bikes are awesome and you now have 3,,, wow!! A 1986 and you're not sure what needs to be done. So Carb diaphragms and sync Swing arm should have grease zerks, otherwise it's wise to install and make sure of the bearings. Rear wheel pins and seals Brake calipers and fluid change. Steering head grease and adjustment. Battery connections and updated fuse box Shaft drive greased at both ends. Lube center stand and kick stand, check kickstand bolt for breakage, bending and looseness. Flush the cooling system, and check all the hoses. Lube throttle linkage. There are 2 sections, upper and lower. They split at the cruise controller. That should keep you busy for a night or 2. Want some help or company, give a shout.
  19. Thanks for letting us know Don. There are quite a few of us who mourn lost loved ones, and each one needs to be comforted. We will ask that much comfort come from the One who gives it best.
  20. You said 'control' ?????? what you call control is all haphazard,,, get it right, you got Big Tom and forgot little ole me!!!
  21. So maybe I'm wrong, but didn't he put a rag in the rear cylinder and make lots of noise about why he did, and then not put a rag in the front cylinder? Also, it's interesting to follow him as to how good things are, and then to talk upgrade, but trying very hard not to downgrade the original,,, some fancy talk work that is. Lots of noise about how bad the oils squirters were loose, but then not to make a guy feel bad about his machine,,, he doubts they were leaking,,,, ya 1/2 turn loose? So then he saves his bacon by saying they were not loose,,, no,,, that wasn't the case,,, just not very tight maybe?, and as mentioned before, wouldn't you want new lock tight put in there?? How much would it take to do it right? So the sprocket issue,,,improvement and correction and better package,,, but, no lock tight where it could be very useful? Huh? And we are going to straighten the jug bolts, so they are perfectly square,,,, really?? interesting, maybe somebody can explain this to me as to why a cylinder bolt would be out of square and you wouldn't just replace it? and if and when the cylinder gets tightened down how it could be not be square to the deck?? Guess I'm not quite with it anymore,, or maybe they figure that most folks have no idea what's going on and are easily brainwashed.
  22. Glad my parents thought it a good thing to move to Canada!!!! Just who is this guy,,, maybe trying to make a buck on the internet,,, maybe he's even Dutch!!! More power to him

    yesterday

    That was on page 3, towards the middle, near the end, a bit on the right side which is slightly over from the left. You should be able to find wear I'm at, close to the cheque mark.
