    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.
  4. https://www.yamahasportsplaza.com only posted $14.45 for shipping, and I loaded about 10 parts in their cart. I've always been happy with their service.

    yesterday

    A couple of observations. This is not needed for @BIG TOM for he rides a Spyder and the last time I seen it, it had only one back wheel,, that's not saying he couldn't use 2, but he does have 2 on the front, but those are pushed and not driven. In the video at the end, the folks got things mixed up, the guy was on the outside wheel but should have had the inside wheel, that way the young lady would have had the greater benefit of more exercise which, although it doesn't seem that she needed it, might have aided her in the quest for perfection. All told, I think it was a great video, explains what it set out to do in easy to understand terms and didn't attempt to under-disclose any pertinent information,,, we could use lots more of that in today's advertising.
  6. I'm stinking Big Tom has the winter blues, he's been all cooped up with nothing to do to get proper exercise, and you know how the brain goes when the body gets limp. Personally I'm glad that at least I am able to to tax his grey matter a bit, and maybe I can get him confused and upset enough to exercise his right to cross the border and into real territory.

    bike chase

    So my thoughts, for what they are worth, is: Why did the biker not stop? Did he think it was fun to try to outrun a cruiser, or was he into something that deserved but didn't want a closer investigation. The biggest fault lies with the biker, he should have pulled over long before the end to save his bacon. The lights he ran were each on their own, suicide for himself, the cop and any others that might have legally got in the way, The cop has a job to do,, uphold the law,,, sure the infraction was minor, but the start of the pursuit changed all that, it's called resisting arrest if you will. The real culprit was the biker, and he could have changed the whole issue by pulling over and paying the piper,,, but then maybe the piper was to be paid lots more than just a simple speeding ticket. This vid demonstrates to all of us that when you run (sometimes our first tendency) all does not necessarily end well, and that would strengthen our resolve to end it before it starts.
  8. That would be the one, front and rear are the same.
  9. You could try Fortnine, but don't think you'll be very successful. I have never used them as I have always been happy with South Seattle Sports Plaza. You could also try Parts Nation, but the same criteria applies I think.
  10. Seeing as it's taken some time for any replies, I suppose most if not all Canadians are shaking their heads and wondering where the difficulty lies. Maybe it's in the translation from Canadian English to American speak??
  11. You can say that if you want to,, but takea good look at that word, 'sensitive'. The root of that word is sense, and need I go any further? BS I say, BS. He knew that somebody was in the picture taking mood, so he was holding his cool, can't say what happened after that,, although they did get him married I think.
  12. Yah!!! let's see, it could be @BIG TOM in his younger years in training, but just which one would he be. He could be the rider,,,,, but then again, it may be just as likely he could be the passenger,,,, I'll have to stew on that for a while.
  13. Only in Can-a-da they say. Lookin real good!!! :canada:
  14. I don't know how many shots that thing fires in one goround, but I do know that I would not get one. If I fired one shot, i would miss and feel bad,,,, can you imagine how bad I would feel if I fired all the shots??? Not going there, I feel bad enough already.
  15. Guess maybe I should translate: So how does one say 'donkey' in Yumergos,,, isn't that something like Tom? or if it's a little donkey,,,Tommie?

    Hey all!

    I'm liking your signature!! :happy65:
  17. That baby has been plaguing my mind for a long time,,, maybe one day!!
  18. Now who typed that??? not nice I say!!
  19. So how does one 'donkey' in Yumergos,,, isn't that something like moT? or if it's a little donkey,,,eimmoT?
  20. Maybe I have some input here,,, I was going to say wisdom, for others may argue that point. For the passenger to really enjoy the part of riding,,, not just the scenery, but the actual thing of riding, they must be first fully trained, how to get on, off, lean etc. Once that has been accomplished they must then allow the rider to ride and guide the the whole process. In other words, they must sit there like a sack of potatoes and RELAX!!!. Any input from the passenger will screw up the rider and the ride and hence make it very uncomfortable for the passenger. If the passenger doesn't trust the rider 100% then that will be transposed into the ride itself, for the passenger will be tense to some degree and have inputs, like failing to stay in line with the bike as a sack of potatoes would. Even a small deflection from what is required will be detrimental to a smooth corner and will cause the rider to make adjustments that will make it a choppy experience and hence also un-nerve the passenger making for a more interesting experience at the next juncture. So trust is one item, knowing the rider also helps and in due time, if enough time has been spent on the bike together, the passenger will automatically swing with the rider and become part of 'one', so there are not to items on the bike, but one. What a wonderful experience that can be. I have experienced both, those who need to control and those who sit behind me with no worry in the world. It very important to the enjoyment and safety of riding for the passenger to let themselves be guided and controlled by somebody else, if not,, the experience is limited and can be dangerous.
  21. I will not comment any further,,,, for now,,,,, I just realized that you guys are talking about me,, not to me,,, so I will be polite and stay in my corner. As for you two,, continue to hi-jack this thread by yourselves, and suffer the aftermath on your own.
  22. Hey you, never mind trying to horn in on my territory, I was offered the Twinkies, how many of those rotten things do you think there are anyways? And Big Tom only has the funds for just sooo many,,,,, on second thought,, go ahead and pitch in, I don't like them anyways. My guess is they would be second hand, they probably make them in China nowadays anyway, so the supply would be very limited if available at all.
  23. Glad you spoke your mind, now is there anything else you might have in there?
  24. So what you're saying, or trying to say, something like talking, but not always quite the same,,,, that a lot means very little and very little means a lot. I guess that is something like being a straight shooter, you should be able to shoot straight, but not all that shoot straight are straight shooters. Just trying to define the terms that you are/were using. Maybe @saddlebum can you out, for I'm just getting lost in my own words here, with yours included.
  25. I'm thinkin' Fool has the wrong snozzles in as well, must have put on the Scatter-gun or Blunderbos, snow here is all over the place, except where it should be.
