  1. Good video. Good driver. I've ridden it on the bike several times. Any rider should do it at least once. Fun ride. Too many people right above their ability though. I admit that I probably did also at least once., Every time I've ridden it, I've seen at least one accident.
  2. I agree with ou about the pillow top seat. Lot's of people just love it but to me, it is WAY soft. Feels good when you first get on it but only good for a few miles.
  3. Well I'm happy to say that Gracie appears to be fine. I called my regular vet first thing Monday morning and was told that I needed to bring her in and that she be put on an IV for at least one day and night. So I took her in on Monday morning and they gave her and IV until I was called to pick her up Tuesday afternoon. They said all of her blood work looked good and though there was still somer danger for another 24 hours, they felt that she was going to be fine. So I bough her home and this morning she appears to be her normal self. So watch those grapes and other forbidden fruit for your animals. Those, probably 4 grapes, ended up costing me $482.00 for the first visit on Sunday night and then another $830.00 for the visit on Monday/Tuesday. So a total of $1312.00. Money well spent to save our baby but would have been avoided had we known about the danger that grapes, raisens, and a number of other things present to our pets.

  10. OK...I'm probably the only one here who didn't know this but I'm willing to reveal my ignorance on the subject if it helps anybody else., Last night, we were watching TV in bed when my wife went downstairs and brought bad a bowl of grapes. In a few minutes, we notice our 13 year old Sheltie grab and swallow about 4 of them. I didn't think it was a big deal but my wife Googled it and found out that a single grape can be fatal to dogs. They don't know why and some dogs are more sensitive to them than others but the rule of thumb is that more than 1 grape per 10 lbs of body weight is considered toxic and cause immediate kidney failure in many cases. We called and were told to immediately take her to the MedVet emergency center. We did sol. They induced vomiting and gave her a IV. We were there for about 6 yours, got home after midnight last night and $482.00 poorer. They managed to recover about 1 1/2 grapes as near as they could determine. She is home now but it will be 48 - 72 hours before we know. If Kidney toxicity occurs, she will likely not survive. I knew that chocolate and some other things were toxic to dogs but had no idea about grapes. We are usually very careful as to what we feed her and she never even gets table scraps.

  23. We hope to still hear from you. We’ve been friends for a long time now.
  24. That's an. interesting website. I'll dive deeper into it later. I watched two YouTube videos on the new CT125. One was a trip across Colorado and the other Alaska. They were both very complimentary of the new bike but both mentioned that then had to dog paddle up a couple of off road hills to make it up. That was never thee case with the originals that had the high low transmissions and it turned me off on them a bit.
