  1. I had the privilege to enjoy lunch with his pastor. I remarked to him that I was totally impressed how his part of the service was not so Bob focused as it was how his Lord and Savior worked through him and how he allowed that to happen. A true witness as to how Bob would have wanted the funeral to be. The words 'may he rest in peace' may be superseded with 'I am now waiting impatiently for you to join me.' Let us look forward to that time and plan the route to get there. Becky,,,, glad you have the Comforter by your side, lean on Him, and don't be afraid to ask for more from us, you will be in our prayers for sometime yet.
  2. I replaced the bearings on my 85 when it pulled that stunt while passing an 18 wheeler. It was a picnic though to set the torque right and proper. In my case my first attempt ended up being too tight and I found that the bike would not self-correct, so I loosened the bearings until the self-correcting came back into play and left things there. I was then a happy camper.
  3. Why did you bring this up already?? you should be aware that it tends to snow here that time of year and I ain't finished with summer just yet,,, and if I go back to snow plowing, I might not be able to attend,,,, and do they serve ice-cream??
  4. Just a thought: He's getting older and might not be riding 2 wheels for long,,,, he needs to face the inevitable!!!! Maybe save some money and go for a trike instead,,, or better yet, a Spyder,,, not because I own one, but it's just a good way to go and he can ride that much longer than a 2 wheel,,, and he's still young enough to adjust to it.
  5. There is a popular saying on this site: While you're at it!!
  6. I will be putting the finishing touches on the route in the next couple of days, and then will pass on the info.
  7. Guess seeing as I have to lead this mess, I'll be the first one at the site and that would put me closest to the cottage, and just because I know all you old farts will be tired from the ride and will want accommodations close to your scoot, I will walk the distance to the cottage and use the extra bed in the cottage, meantime, I can keep an eye on the regular occupant and keep him from sneaking around, maybe!
  8. Pioneer closing down???? that will be the day!!!!! Those people are away too much community minded for that to happen. They are fully supportive of the folks that come for help from their business, and those type of businesses stick around. Nooo,, instead they are expanding and creating a wedding venue at the Earls site, so that will disrupt that whole area and will be making a major change in what can and will happen on that acreage. They dis offer to let us use the lot beside their shop, but we all knew that wasn't going to works so well, but being who they are, they didn't want to leave us hanging. Great people those folks, great people!!!! Instead Big Tom had an offer to discuss the possibility of using Niagara Shores, we checked it out and decided that location would suit very nicely. Get yourself booked in, I think you'll be happy you did.
  9. Made it home safe and sound, even though I had this Bum following me practically the whole time. I did buy him off by getting him same ice-cream I think and arrived at home with my Honey waiting out in the yard to see me. She said I had been gone tooo long so next time she going to come and keep an eye on me. Don't know why,,,,, who's been talking I wonder. Loved you guys all and then some, what a great time. Many thanks to Tom, and Tom and Amy, and that Robin girl with her side kick Bob, and then also Spanky, and Mr. Ken. You guys rock and have put on 12 great years of rallies. Hopefully this will continue and that we get to see each other again, again and again.................... Hopefully you will not be shy about passing out info to guide us into the unknown.
  10. We were alll friends at one time I thought,,,, what's all this talk about dividing and fighting???? Now I'm all confused,, not that is any different from other times, but I'm now confused in a backwards sort of way.
  11. The kit come complete with a rubber type pad that when heated can be formed to make a mould for that piece. Just make it good and warm, shape it, let it cool and the use it. Need something else, reheat and repeat. Check out their websites for vids.
  12. So does that mean you are coming.?...?
  13. That's your opinion!!! I think Wednesday will be awesome, nobody to stop me from watching Ben and Steamer do all the work. Thursday should be good as well, all the new folks coming in to hug. Friday will be ok, as long as I can get a nap in from all the activities the days before. Saturday might be a bummer, or could be really nice,,,, I hate to see good friends lose, so no matter the winner, the other is the loser,,,, so maybe best to hide out somewhere and have a nap. Sunday is good again, but not as good as Thursday seeing as all the hugs will be 'goodbye' hugs. Man!!!!!!!! am I looking forward this to see how my predictions pan out.
  14. I use a lot of Plastifix,,, Plastex works as well. Good stuff and is black to start with. I get Pastifix at Aircraft Spruce, right next door to me.
  15. Oh noooooo you don't, that's my job,,, you two go fight it out elsewhere, I don't want a BIG, BUM, falling on ME!!! although I think this is all just 'tom saddlery'
  16. Don't go there Ronnie,,, don't go there!!!
  17. Through some good old fashioned carb cleaner in less than half tank of fuel and let it run for about 10 minutes, let it sit real quiet like for about an hour and then repeat. Now see if it runs better. You might even crank on some choke (actually fuel enrichment valve) during the running process. Things might clear up for you bit then. Now fill the tank with fresh fuel and see what happens.
  18. Not too often I can make this statement, so now given the opportunity,,,,,,,,,,, I told you so!!!!!!!!! Now that is supposed to feel better,,,but didn't make any difference.
  19. Thanks Tom,,,, the Good Lord willing and the river don't rise,,, we will be there with bells and whistles on.
  20. Ive heard some things, but I won't repeat them.
  21. Can you not get your new policy to start sooner?
  22. What's this?????? and I even registered!!!! No problem,,, @saddlebum will have to sleep sometime, and seeing as we are in the same room I'll wake up when he starts to snore,,,,,, now just to make sure there is enough room in the Spyder.
  23. This might help https://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?128835-LED-Turn-Signal-Mod
  24. I wonder if they can do that for a Spyder,,,,,,,oh wait,,, I just took a look and Canam already done it,,,, I should wake up first I guess.
