  1. would you happen to have any warranty left? Brian
  2. Yeah, but we get to ride in the summer when A LOT of guys in the south find it too hot to ride. so I figger I get as much riding time as almost anyone. Was still riding today after work. Brian
  3. When mounting my luggage rack I found some washers that are slightly convex on the top and on the bottom is a thick rubber cushion sandwiched onto it. it makes for a nice waterproof connection and it seems to absorb shock and distribute weight very well. Sorry no pics. briax
  4. Hey Randy, Good luck with the surgery, I am sure it will turn out fine, its just so disheartening having to go thru the surgery more than once. I have reasonable vision with the right eye, after being almost totally black in that eye before 2 of the surgeries. so try to keep a positive note, it can and probably will turn out to have useful vision. Brian
  5. Yep, same as mine, cept mine was intermittent, drove me crazy when my side stand switch was acting up too. When it got worse I replaced the clutch switch and havnt had an issue since Brian
  6. Its that imaginary thing in your yard, Brian Sorry Dan, you woulda done it to me......
  7. Geez, ....and I go to the States to get away from them.......:rotf: Brian
  8. If you post pics here, I will send a donation to your paypal account. Brian
  9. My 85 runs like crap until it warms up, I was out today in about 50f temps and needed the choke on for about 10 minutes. It has always been this way and the only time I dont need choke is when its about 90f or more. So I am thinking your issue might be a Yama issue after talking with quite a few of the guys in here. Brian
  10. Let me guess.......youre single arent ya Charlie? Brian
  11. This is close to normal for us, but you guys and the northeastern US have got it bad right now.... Brian
  12. Nah!! bike still works so I took her out for a nice ride today. it was around 50f and sunny, had to go..... Brian
  13. ive never bought one for the 85 , but i think it should be pretty standard, all you should need is the line size. maybe take it in... brian
  14. THks for the reminder Bob, ... I never do... Brian
  15. Still workin on things, Insurance estimates damage at 2200 bucks thats no probs to fix, but insurance wants a guaranteed estimate from repair shop that it wont go above 3300 bucks. Not many shops will do a guaranteed estimate on an old bike. Riding over to an aquaintance tomorrow that is a bike builder in spare time and full time at an autobody shop, he says his boss will have a look and thinks they can do it for me, depending on what they find when they look at it. If I cant get anyone to supply estimate i guess the option is to let them ttl it, ive been checking with friends at insurance and they figure I should get 4kto 4500 for the bike. Brian
  16. They havnt found a way to clone you yet? then you could do the work of 4 guys....not just 2. Brian
  17. it looks like the area around South Beach Miami Brian
  18. There is a thread here somewhere about ibuprofen being my friend....... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=64669&highlight=ibuprofen Brian
  19. I would just pickup a new filter as its a lot cheaper than the pump, and then see how quick your carbs fill . I am suspecting your pump is giving you issues, though. Brian
  20. I just might be, ...still waiting to see how the insurance from the asphalt surfing is gonna turn out. Brian
  21. Yes, mcmaster ignored me twice as well, i called and got told they dont do Canadian orders. What bugged me was that I went thru the whole procedure credit card and all, with no response....why not just a note on the website so I dont waste my time and send my info over the net....it just screams bad customer service. Brian
  22. mabbe trying to keep their dealers mechanics out? brian
  23. Yeah, its a security head, to prevent tampering I guess. You can find them at any good hardware store up here in Canada I found them at princess Auto. Brian
  24. yeah, it was fun, when are we doing that one again? Next time ill try to bring a scoot that will get me home.... Brian
  25. Thats how i did it. All of the network apps I am running are in the Android Market for free i am running -overlook fing -looks for devices on network ang gives you ips and mac . https://market.android.com/details?id=com.overlook.android.fing&hl=en -Farproc WiFi Analyzer- that gives 3 great graphs showing signal strength, channels used, saturation levels, types of encryption and shows usage inreal time. Also allows snapshots and makes suggestions on what channels to use in an area for best perfomance. http://www.pcworld.com/appguide/app.html?id=487999&expand=false -ookla speed test- simple speed tester. Also find the Remote desktop tools work great and when I use ANDsmb i can get right into the shares on our Windows domain.(with correct credentials of course) If you need anything more specific please message me and Ill be happy to discuss in there. Brian
