  1. Sounds exciting. I will want to see pictures when you get it of course. WOW...AUGUST...I hope that you are more patient than I am.
  2. Very nice. You should be so proud. It's a dreadful disease.
  3. OK...I'll pass because I need it all. Thanks.
  4. Look good. Are they easily adjustable, I mean no tools?
  5. I hooked it into the power that powers the receptacle in the fairing. It is only on when the key is on.
  6. Got this done today. It was supposed to come on Friday but showed up today. Was waiting for it before I split the fairing to hook up the GPS so once I got here, I go it all done. Works very well. Great product. The only problem is that the allen head bolt for the light bar stripped before it got tight and I spent about an hour getting it out to install new bolts. No more allen head bolts for the light bar. I had the same problem on the '99 and thought about it before putting it back on but decided it would be OK. Huge mistake. But....it's all done now and I'm very happy with the results.
  7. Well yea....but it's all natural.
  8. Not sure what you mean. Send me a picture.
  9. LOL....looks like a Yammer Dan Motel 6.
  10. If I wanted another bike to park in the garage though, that SCR950 is pretty cool.
  11. Yes it was. Plus he said that some idiot who had the carb apart to clean it put the float in upside down. After he replaced the bad solenoid, it still wasn't getting any gas. Go figure. Have NO idea who it would have been.
  12. The Vermillion address is the location of Quaker Steak and Lube for the Friday night dinner.
  13. Always....and buckshot too.
  14. Sorry to hear that Joe. Looking forward to seeing you again though.

  16. LOL....not quite enough pond for the Waverunners. as for the Pong Monsters....I didn't see them last year but I'm not counting them out.
  17. Those of you who have been here before know most of this but just a reminder. We have rented a porta john again this year. It is requested that the men use it and let our wonderful ladies use the restrooms in the house. I have place a gas grill beside the Gazebo. There will be a full tank of gas. Those of you who are camping are more than welcome to use it. I am draining and refilling the hot tub today. It will be completely clean and sanitary so feel free to bring your swimsuits if you would like to. Swimsuits are required for all men. Women can be approved to go nude with my prior approval. Campers are welcome to use the shower in the house but please bring your own towels. There will be a lunch on Saturday. We have ordered food as usual and it will be delivered around noon. We changed it up a bit this year and ordered fried chicken with all the fixings. There is no set cost for lunch but will be a donation can out as usual to help cover the costs. Lunch, drinks, coffee and etc. usually run us between $1,000.00 and $1,200.00 so donations are appreciated. There will be a 50/50 drawing and also a drawing for a few door prizes as usual. I didn't go out and buy anything this year though I still may...we'll see. At this time, we have two BaggerShield windshields, a Hopnel tank bib, leather grip covers with fringe, some nice wood items custom made by Hummingbird. 50/50 tickets are usually $1.00 each if I remember correctly and door prizes ... I don't remember...we'll figure it out. I have most tools that will be needed for any maintenance that you want to do on your bikes. If you plan to do oil changes and etc., you will need to bring your oil and filters or there is an Advanced Auto and a Walmart about 2 1/2 miles away. Soft drinks, water, coffee are provided. If you want to enjoy a beer or other alcoholic beverage when we are sitting around in the evenings you are more than welcome to do so but they are not provided. Smoking is not allowed in the house but you are more than welcome to smoke outside. There will be ashtrays placed all around. I'm sure that I'm missing something so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
  18. Are you SURE you need a new petcock? Very unusual to find one that leaks. It is NOT unusual to find one that is a little loose and leaking at the pipe where the fuel line slips on. You can simply tap it with a hammer to stop the leak. Many have done this and it hasn't happened again. Some just weren't pressed in tight enough. Just remove the fuel hose, place a small piece of wood or plastic on the end of the brass tube and tap it with a hammer.
  19. I'm going to try and put this on the back burner for now. Mine is running like new again. A lot of hours on it so who knows but for now, it's doing what it's supposed to.
  20. The cheapest I've found the chrome passenger floorboards is here. http://www.bikebandit.com/oem-parts/detail/yamaha/5s7-f74b0-v0-00/b2822202?gclid=Cj0KEQjwvtS6BRC8pcKn8OXIg_wBEiQAqtpiz6LTsTSimWCniNtBmzSI09QUACJsiM4urju5hto7FyYaAnhf8P8HAQ They show no picture but if you search that part number you will find plenty of pictures.

    There was an issue with quiet a few of these bikes where there was a bad weld on the back side of the exhaust. I'll have to show you where when you are here. If that is the case, a bit of JB Weld will usually solve the problem and it won't show at all.
  22. If she knows you are coming back, maybe she will just stop by for a visit.
  23. Totally unacceptable. We will miss you.
  24. Looks good. I have Sirius built into the Garmin Zumo but don't have it activated any longer. I typically use Pandora or IHeart Radio these days.
  25. Beautiful. Eileen would take a horse over a motorcycle any day.
