    You got it my friend.
  2. Freebird
    No problem. Done.

    OK...it's your call but are you SURE that isn't too close to the International? Just asking...this one is your baby and you can make it anytime you please.

    Looks like you had registered under both names. I just merged them together.
  5. Freebird
    Not to worry folks....they aren't re-registering, I am changing the username's for them. It does not affect the membership total.

    Yours is reading correctly. We aren't over 6,000 at this time.

    I could take it from Indianapolis to anywhere in the Northern OH area.

    Todd, I think you are off to a good start. I can see a lot of potential in what you are trying to do and commend you for the effort. Feel free to add a link to our links page. Don

    I haven't picked a date but it will be late May or very early June.

    OK folks, it's time for me to get busy re-programming our rally page with the countdown timers. If any of you have dates and other info for 2009, please let me know what they are. Thanks

    All done.

    I'm glad it's loading faster but I don't THINK that the upgrade is the reason. It could be because there were a lot of little changes but I don't think so.

    My experience with the KuryAkyn grips was different than most. I bought a set from Rick Butler who removed them because they caused his hands to get numb when riding. I installed them on my bike and did install the end weights with them. I just took the stock weights and put them on a lathe and turned the shoulders down so that they would fit through the holes in the end of the KuryAkyns and screw in as they always did. The first trip that I took with them was to the Tail of the Dragon rally. It didn't take long before I felt my hands start to tingle and then get numb. I removed them and put my old grips back on. I don't know why it happened but it wasn't due to the weights not being there because they were. They just didn't work for me. I loved the looks though.

    I THINK it's all working right now. You should be able to log in on the home page.

    I pretty much just do it by feel but I've heard some people say that they use a fish scale.

    OK folks, I just did a software upgrade here. Let me know if you see anything screwed up.

    This type of comment is completely unnecessary. A LOT of people here have financed cars, bikes, boats, many other things. If they are living within their means and that is what makes them happy then it's their business. Calling people stupid just because they have a different opinion is NOT necessary and needs to stop.

    I think I have that same pressure washer but I've never used it on the bike. I do use a leaf blower for drying though. I've been doing that for more than 10 years and it works GREAT.

    I don't know if it's half the size but I know that it's plenty large. My wife can load it so that it weighs as much as I really want to pull. As for the hitches. Bushtec doesn't make a receiver hitch for the Venture but they sell just the pin that you can use on any hitch. It just replaces the ball. I do have the Bushtec hitch on my RSV but if you want a receiver type hitch, you can just buy the Khromewerks hitch or the Venture Dad hitch or even the hidden hitch from Diamond R Accessories and then get just the pin from Bushtec.

    A couple of people here have reported the same thing but I've never seen it. I find that mine grip VERY well. I even had to hammer my brakes hard once pulling a loaded trailer in the rain and they never slipped a bit.

    I have the Bushtec Roadstar also. Click on my photo gallery for pics. The Heim hitch works great. I'm not sure what you mean by "swivel latitudnally and longitudinally". It does swivel though. The best thing about it for me is that the tolerances are tight enough between the coupler and the pin that there is no rattling at all. The thing that I really like is the suspension. This trailer will not bounce around regardess of how light it is loaded. Even if it is completely empty, it will not bounce and that is not true of most trailers. There is just nothing about the trailer that I can criticize. It is very well made and the hitch coupler and suspension and very well done. Bushtec also does a great job on the paint if you get it custom matched.

    I personally think that Bushtec makes the best trailer on the market for motorcycles. I don't know specifically about the Quantum but I'm sure it's quality is on par with their other models. Some here will argue that spending that much money on a trailer is crazy. I say that if you have the money and that is the one that rings your bell, then go for it. A lot of people spend money on things that I wouldn't and I'm sure some think that I do the same. It's a matter of what YOU want.

    Just a bit of correction. SWMOTO does not offer us discounts. They have been great to us and their contribution has been that on more than one occasion, they have donated tires for some of our project bikes. They already have some of the best prices available even without a discount.
