    Well, I've decided that I'm probably going to upgrade to the Zumo 665. I've put my 550 with XM receiver in the classifieds if anybody is interested. If so, please note that I will not be able to ship it until I get home on weekend of the 16th. If it hasn't sold by then, I'll probably put it on Ebay.

    VR Store

    Freebird replied to Double D's topic in Watering Hole

    I think that most everything in the store is available unless there is an "out of stock" note or something. Not sure about the large patches, you would have to contact Eddie about that.

    Try again. It should take 6. Do not use a space.

    I'm glad you posted this. I was afraid that you thought it was GOOD. Didn't want to hurt your feelings. We will still drink it in your honor though.

    Fair enough, we'll never do it. Don't give it another thought sweetcheeks.

    Well here's my opinion....not that anybody asked for it. I don't know how often you folks are using Seafoam but I don't think it needs to be used that often. I use it twice a year. Once in the winter when I know that the weather is going to ground me for a couple of months. I go to the gas station, add a can of Seafoam and fill the tank. That's all I do to winterize the bike except for putting it on the trickle charger. In the spring, I run out that tank of gas and then a couple of tanks later, I run another can through it. So, two cans a year is all I use. Now I realize that Seafoam is a bit pricey but using two cans a year, I'm not going to waste my time trying to figure out a cheaper formula.

    No problem Tom. You aren't the first and won't be the last. There are a few here who are very aware of the rule and will still try to push it.

    I deleted it as soon as I saw it. As stated already, the rules clearly state that no political threads are allowed. I'm sorry if you missed that point and will be more than happy to refund your dues if you can't live with it.

    Well, the good news is that Eileen, Dylan and I are on our way to Texas. We had planned to leave tomorrow but got away late today. Only drove about 5 1/2 hours or so but made it just south of Louisville, KY today and stopped early. The bad news is that I got an email from my company today. I need to enjoy this vacation because they just told me that they are increasing my territory. I used to have Ohio, Western PA and Western NY. They then replaced Western PA and Western NY and gave me Indiana and Michigan. Now they are telling me that I am keeping Ohio, Indiana and Michigan but they are adding back Western PA and Western NY and also giving me all of Kentucky and all of West Virginia. So there are some busy times when I get back from vacation. Oh well...I DO still have a job.

    I looked through all the RSVPs but there was no Shirley listed. Most just stated + 1 guest though. Some put the name but not many. Sorry.

    The GOOD news is that today I stopped by Best Buy and picked up a "pay as you go" type mobile broadband modem. So....I know that there will be a few days over the next few weeks when I will not have WIFI service but now I'm READY for it. So....I can still check in here at least once or twice a day. P.S. I didn't find much trash in the yard but did find two VERY NICE Limes.

    I just don't know then. Mine are louder on the same volume setting than any others I have used. I know this sounds dumb but are you SURE you didn't have them turned around backwards. I actually DID have one of mine backwards for a while.
  13. Freebird
    Yes, I'm in the other camp. In my opinion, the Elite's don't hold a candle to the Edsets. Sleeperhawk, I suspect that you had yours too far from your ears. If you had them in the same recesses that the thicker J&Ms were in, they were way to far away. They are so thin that I actually have mine secured to the outside of the liner right next to my ears.

    Margaret is correct. There is an inactivity setting. I've set it to different values and don't remember what it is set on now. Folks were complaining that it was logging them out too fast if they were reading messages and got distracted and had to go do something else and then come back to find themselves logged out.

    Yes, they are Torx. My '99 has allen head screws but I some point, they went to the Torx screws. I ran into them when removing some rotors at maintenance day.

    This is WAY too confusing. Bob Dakin is also a member here. He lives in Lorain, OH and many of you have met him at my maintenance days. You may have met his wife also, Becky Dakin.

    Very doubtful but wouldn't take long to find out.

    Well Gary, I will stay with the same opinion that I have always stated here. Whine: Inherent noise associated with the straight cut gears. Howl: Possible rear end problem. Chirp: Clutch basket.

    I've never heard of them. Looks like the only make them for the Harley right now. It never hurts to have another source and their prices look good but I don't agree that we are limited right now. There are several choices for the RSV between the various options offered by Yamaha and several aftermarket vendors.

    Hey folks, I wasn't complaining at ALL about any messes. You folks really do a good job picking up after yourselves. There are just some things that I have to put away when it is all over with. Just part of the deal. No big thing at all.
  21. Freebird
    Very cool. I love seeing these old bikes and etc.
  22. Freebird
    Well, I will have my laptop with me and will check in when I can. The problem is that I'll be staying at my mother's house in Tyler, TX for at least 3 or 4 days and I know she has no internet service. I've actually thought about buying a mobile broadband model with a pay as you go plan to use when I need to.
  23. Freebird
    I agree. Eileen and I pulled the highest peak in Colorado with a heavily loaded Bushtec trailer and never nothing but regular gas. We've also done the Canadian Rockies, the Smokies and numerous other mountains and there has never been a need for more power.

    You might try http://www.denniskirk.com They seem to have them and their prices are very good. Jake Wilson also has them. http://www.jakewilson.com/productDetail.do?navType=type&webTypeId=320&navTitle=Motorcycle+Tire+Accessories&webCatId=38&keyword=180%2F65B16&prodFamilyId=27761 http://www.jakewilson.com/productDetail.do?navType=type&webTypeId=320&navTitle=Motorcycle+Tire+Accessories&webCatId=38&keyword=130%2F80B17&prodFamilyId=27762 OOPS....Jake Wilson DOES show them to be "temporarily out of stock".
