  1. I doubt it. Without their permission I wouldn't feel right about it. There could be some copywriter issues also.
  2. I paid for Navonics also. Great app if you spend any time on the water.
  3. Very likely some search engine spider. Wish it was actual members but very doubtful.
  4. OK...found the Gyro info and yes, I have seen one but never ridden one. There is even on for sale on Ebay right now. Pretty cool little bike...or trike...or????
  5. Heck...I don't remember ever even seeing a Gyro. Will have to look them up. The carb wasn't even dirty on the Cub I bought. There was a safety interlock that, if I remember correctly, worked off the brake lever. You had to have the brake pulled in before it would start. That interlock was just very slightly out of adjustment. I just tightened it up a bit and she fired right up.
  6. I've owned a couple of those too Puc but did you ever own one of THESE? i picked it up a few years ago for about $70.00. They said it didn't run. Had it running like new about 30 minutes after I got it home. Folks rode it around here for a month or so and then sold it for a nice profit.
  7. OK...I just answered my own question. I uploaded a test ad and used an Australian zip code and it worked fine. Didn't show "distance from me" but that's no big deal. You can just put the location in the description box. So let me know if I'm missing something and there is another reason why it would seem to be geared to to the USA.
  8. I'm curious why you feel that the classifieds are geared towards the USA? Will they not take the Australian zip codes? I've never tired but other than that, I don't know why they would be geared towards the USA. If that is the case and you have to put an as on the forum, it would need to go in the "Links to Classifieds, Ebay, Craigslist" forum. Not sure about the value because I don't know how the prices there compare to here.
  9. No problem waiting. It's still somewhat cold around these parts. I don't be doing it for a few more weeks yet anyway.
  10. I think you'll like it. I doubt I'll ever pay for MS Office again. OpenOffice works great for me.
  11. Looks good. I may have to try that on my Avalanche. What process did you use? Damp cloth, dry cloth, etc.?
  12. I agree with open office. I have Excel on my work computer but didn't want to pay for Office for my Mac or Eileen's computer. So I use open office on both of them and have had no problems at all. Great way to go. Been using it for several years now.
  13. I'm thinking you shouldn't have done that. Oh well....we always seem to add to our todo lists.
  14. HEY...that is cute and adorable but NOT FAIR. Now I have to go buy costumes to compete? I call FOUL.
  15. No airbag lid? That is likely your biggest problem. These bikes just don't run right without them.
  16. Love it. Don't care for the seat but that's a minor thing.
  17. I've never dealt with them. The only issue I had was one of their employees joined here and started posting ads and etc. When I told him that I would be willing to talk to them about an advertising banner, he said they were not interested so I told him to please stop posting his ads and that unsolicited advertising was not allowed. He pretty much went away after that. I've had no dealings otherwise, good or bad, with the company.
  18. OK....that's a decent response...you are therefore re-sentenced to SINGLE secret probation. Beautiful bike.
  19. Well we are glad you are back and the new bike sounds GREAT.....BUT.....this was your first post since sometime in December. You can't just sell a Venture and then disappear until you buy another one. We are family...doesn't matter what you ride. THEREFORE...by the powers vested in me....actually I just now vested such powers....you are now on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION! So there...now you've done it.
  20. Oh my friend...she is cute...I admit that. But mine is cuter.
  21. I guess I got lucky. I drove almost 3,000 miles going to and returning from Texas last week. I bought gas as cheap as 1.49 along the way. Could have been a lot worse huh.
  22. Have the springs ever been changed? That is often the cause of the bottoming out.
  23. Once upon a time, there were some on the market but that was long ago. You may eventually find one used somewhere but they are pretty rare.

  25. I just use the included Safari on my MacBook Pro and like it fine. I've always used Firefox on the Dell Laptop but it isn't working very well on Windows 10. It is my work computer and I seldom use it for browsing the Internet but when I get time, I'll look into it and see if there are some settings that need changed, an update available, or whatever. It works sometimes but often I get the "program is not responding" message.
