    Thanks Dave, I found it! May 10 for me......just about that time! Best dang $12 I've ever spent....except maybe that bottle of lemon gin for the high school dance waaaay back when Hope all is well at your end! We aren't going to make it down your way this year, but there is always next year. Looking forward to seeing you at Don's on MD. gunk:happy34:

    Beth and I will be heading to Savannah the first week of September, spending a few day s in the area. What sites are a must see? What roads are a must ride? We plan on spending some time there, then working our way up the coast to meet up with the Chipcoteague Island tour on Sept. 10th. Thanks gunk:happy34:

    Thanks Gary, it's been fun! Have to get some heat in this garage so that I can play when it's cold! I need to sync the carbs, lots of popping and such, but it sure is fun. randy:Laugh:

    I'm happy with the progress on my 96 royal star so far...... gunk:smile5:
  8. gunkylump
    You interested in these? $25 plus shipping. One small scratch on left side, hardly noticeable, can send you a pic of the scratch. I had these on my 96 royal star. gunk:smile5:

    When you watch bike races, Moto GP etc., they don't change the front tire when they change the rear. I've had "mismatched" sets on my bikes over the years, and I can't say that I noticed a difference in the handling.....except that I had a new tire on the back and better grip.......shouldn't be problem, at least in my little mind. gunk:big-grin-emoticon:

    You actually live in Essex? I'm about 20 minutes away, in A'burg. Not a lot of our bikes around this area. Gary N. and Ibents are very close as well. How long have you owned your bike? Do you go to the Rock in Essex on Thursday nights? Great food, tons of bikes and great people. Riding today? The weather is going to be just great!!! I'll keep my eyes open for a white royal star, we'll have to grab a coffee one of these days. gunk:big-grin-emoticon:

    I've got a 96, and the stock seat was no more than a stick. I purchased floor boards and a studded passenger seat from Yamaha, and the comments were all very positive. If you are looking to purchase a new passenger seat, I'll sell the one I have. I purchased it in 2000, the backrest and passenger floorboards as well. I am hanging on to the floorboards at present, as I am trying to create a "riser" to raise the floorboards. As soon as I am done with that, I'll be selling the floorboards and mounts. I have converted the royal star to a "solo" bike. I also have a set of floorboards without mounts that I am selling. gunk

  17. gunkylump
    Hey Renne: Could you scribe "Gunky's Toy" on there? If so, how much for four? You can e-mail me back if you'd like with the price. gunk:smile5:

    Yabba dabba doooooooo Brad!!! You go guy! I know how tough it is to have to pick up and move to find employment, been there, did that. Cost me a marriage, but not the kids, they stuck it out with me. Cost me some "friends", those that chose sides weren't really "friends" anyways. Kudos to you and Lonna for sticking to your guns, making it work, hanging in there! I just love great stories like yours with happy endings. Keep it up, the money will come!!!! Have an extra scoop of ice cream for Beth and I next time you get out!!! gunk:bighug:

    Hope they get it this time Tom. I have a very good idea what Taters is going thru....my oldest son dislocated his left elbow, and broke the forearm in two places. 30 staples, 8 pins and a sheet of surgical steel later..plus 3 days in the hospital......but, 3 weeks less a day today, and they cut the cast off, pulled the staples, and told him that all looks good. Mobility will be another issue according to the doc. Kurtis says his goal now is to prove the doc wrong and get all of his mobility back......now that's my BOY! Good luck to Taters!!! She is going to be fine. gunk:bighug:

    I have a backrest and brackets from my 96 if they'll fit. gunk:hihi:

    I stopped at Tim's in Kingsville, ON...but no cookies for me:no-no-no:.....the weight loss plan is beginning to take effect, 5 good lbs. since Christmas....shooting for 190...down to 205 or so now. The coffee sure was good though...and warm!! gunk:hihi:

    Thanks once again for your efforts Don. I've ordered 1 large t-shirt for myself, Beth has decided to pass(she'll regret it later). I'll pick it up on maintenance day. gunk:happy34:
  23. gunkylump
    Full coverage, $1000 deductible for both my bikes, the 04 Midnite Venture and the 96 royal star was 1189 from TD. Aviva wanted 1036 just for the Venture. gunk

    I don't know if AAA is the same as CAA...but with the "Gold" policy with CAA, as long as the policy owner is with the bike, they'll tow it up to, geeez, I THINK it's 275k's or so.....so, for just over $100 a year, Beth has CAA on whatever car she is, and whatever bike she is on. Might be worth looking into over there with AAA. gunk:smile5:

    We are going to celebrate being the host country with the most gold medals..... We are going to celebrate gold in both women's and men's hockey....... We are going to celebrate the best closing ceremonies in the Olympics history...... We are going to celebrate participating in our most memorable winter Olympics...... Then, tomorrow, we will resume being CANADIANS, we won't shove our accomplishments into our American neighbours faces, (even though some may like to) We will continue being the BEST hockey nation in the world, for the time being...... And we will continue enjoying having the 2010 Winter Olympics in Canada, the land of true patriot love, the TRUE north strong and free......Yes, we are just as proud of our land, as our American neighbours are of theirs. And we will continue to enjoy having the U.S.A. as our neighbour, and our FRIENDS, no matter what the sporting event or occasion. It was an awesome Olympics, one that neither of us will soon forget. Even in death, and triumphant wins, this will be an Olympics that Canadians will NOT soon forget, and we hope, all competitors from around the world. We have set the record of 14 gold medals this Olympics. a mark to be strived for by the many athletes to come in the 2014 Winter Olympics, not matter where they are played out. (Go Russia!) Will Bill DeMong remember these Olympics? Will his new fiancee? I think so. And so will millions of people around the world. Let's not allow a few simple hockey games to drive a wedge into our relationship,...let's build on the relationship that we have developed over the last few hundred years, and keep it growing as it has in the past. So....here's to FRIENDLY rivalry, and maintaining and growing relationships developed over the years and in the future to come. Well done...to our neighbours the U.S.A., and all of the other participating countries!!!!! gunk:bighug::bighug:
