If I remember right someone posted, in the past, that when the 2nd gear problem was fixed by the dealer, they prick punched a dot next to the serial number on the engine or gearcase. Maybe on the right side behind the oil filler cap?? Not exactly sure of the location of the serial number, the old dementia is kicking in and CRS! Jim

Miles: Do you keep them for their milk or cheese? Or are they just pets. I can see you on the floor, on your hands and knees trying to milk one of those! Jim

I retired at Christmas of last year (2 months ago) and I have been so busy that I have lost 12 lbs.!! I'm working harder now than when I was employed. This retirement stuff isn't all it is cracked up to be. My Other Half has a "honey do" list that keeps me busy from dawn to dusk. She says it "keeps me out of trouble". Something about idle hands and the devil. I don't know what she is talking about. Jim

Hey Tom: Which one is harder to train, the two legged one or the four legged one????? Jim

Tom: I was at Fox Farm Antiques last week and he had two longbows for sale. You might want to call him and see if he still has them. They are located just west of Avon NY, where rts 5 & 20 split (Telegraph Rd). Here is his website ......http://www.foxfarmantiques.com Jim

Oh well, 11 inches of snow is just another winter day here in WNY. We had 16" a week or so ago and the roads were in good shape. They didn't even close the schools. We have this kind of weather all the time here and also the towns and cities have the equipment to handle the weather. I was in Atlanta once and they had 2" of snow and it just paralyzed the whole city. I saw pickup trucks loaded with salt and they were spreading the salt by hand with shovels from the back of the pickup. Jim

It's an electronic brake that monitors a small electrical charge that is in the blade. When skin contacts the blade the voltage (or resistance) in the blade changes and it triggers an automatic stop. The human body has a built in voltage or resistance charge. Not sure what it is called. It is a one time brake, when it is activated it is damaged and has to be replaced. Jim

We do ride, a lot........................from one ice cream stop to another ice cream stop! This Forum is made up of members who have a eating disorder and also happen to ride scoots! Remember......the first step to recovery is to admit you have a disorder and then ride to the nearest ice cream shop and indulge in your obsession! :fnd_(16): :essen_018: Big Tom will explain it to you when you meet him. He even has an ice cream truck come to the Pioneer WNY Rally every year so we don't even have to ride to indulge in our obsession. Big Tom is always looking out for us (and our waistline!!). Jim

JB Thanks for the PM's. I am going to put the wood sides on the lift and also tighten up the wheel chock with washers. Both are good ideas and make the loading much safer and easier. Jim

Hey Ben....Welcome to the Forum. This is the best forum on the web and it has the most knowledgeable and giving people you will ever meet. We have a very active group in Western NY and we get together often for rides. As BongoBob stated, we have Meet & Eats all during the riding season and his July 4th party is always a great time. Big Tom has a rally every year in Arcade which is a weekend long event with camping available. I live in Rochester, so I am only 45 minutes from you. I am a retired OTR driver and now have plenty of time to ride. The people on this forum have a wealth of technical knowledge and experience and can answer any of your questions. The only prerequisite to join is that you must like ice cream!! Just ask Big Tom. Jim

Hey Bob....come on up to Racha cha... My bike needs new brake fluid and SS lines installed! Also new rear tire. That should keep you busy for a day or two. Well, it might take a couple of days longer because of the beer breaks!! I have a well stocked frig. We even have free room and board. :) Jim

Eddie: Thanks for the heads up about the weight of the shipping crate. I took a friend with me to help load the lift into the back of a pickup and it took four of us to lift it up and slide it in the back of the truck. When I got to the house, I opened the container in the truck and unloaded it in pieces. I also bought a more substantial wheel chock for the front of the lift. That little screw thing looked flimsy on the display model, so I bought a bigger and heavier chock. Thanks for the heads up on the weight. Jim

It's going to be 45 * F here tomorrow. Hoping some of the "white stuff" will melt. I always have a little something to wet your whistle. Here is the "booze locker", it's a little empty right now because we had a party (41 guests) a couple of weeks ago and I haven't restocked. But your welcome to stop anytime you are in the area and crack open the door to the "booze locker". Also have a well stocked liquor cabinet for those that are not into beer and wine. I am thinking about having a M & E here this summer, probably late August or early Sept. Jim

Carl: I like your thinking!!

Jeff: I hope Big Tom doesn't see this!! He will need more ice cream to calm himself! Jim

Jeff: Thanks for your idea. I was thinking of doing the hoist thing but flipping it up on it's side rather than it's end. Not sure if the cylinder will leak but will find out. I have room on the right side of my garage under the TV to put it up on it's side. The TV and satellite box sit on a shelf about 4 1/2 ft. above the floor and there is room underneath it. I don't want to use the upper wall for the top pulley because that wall faces the kitchen and I don't want to disturb the studs in the kitchen wall, if I don't have to. I'm not sure if the trusses above are strong enough to support the top pulley. It is a ranch style house and the roof (in the garage) has very small roof trusses due to the shallow angle of the roof. But the lift is only 300 lbs so the trusses should hold that if I spread the load over 3 or 4 trusses. I think I will use a piece of 1/4 angle or steel pipe to run thru the trusses. The bad part is I will have to remove the drywall on the ceiling to install the angle or pipe. I am not going to start this project until the weather warms up a little because I do not have a heated garage and still is quite cold here in WNY. Thanks for your thoughts, Jeff. Joe: I am going to buy it because the small bike lift I have now (Sears model) doesn't go high enough (about 15") for me to work on the bike comfortably. This lift goes 30" high so it brings it up to about waist high. My knees are getting bad and it is hard for me to get on the floor of the garage to work on the bike. I just thought it was a good price and it was sturdy enough to do oil changes, etc. Carl, my garage floor is only 1 year old and extremely smooth. It has never had a car on it. It has wall to wall carpeting on it because we use it in the summer as a screened patio area for the front of the house. (My wife likes the outdoors so we have a screen house in the front [the garage] and rear of the house now.) I was thinking of using a 2x4 with a couple of long bolts in it and dropping it into a couple of holes drilled in the concrete floor to hold it in place. The holes should be inconspicuous in the carpeting. Maybe use 1/2 " x 6" bolts for pins. Just pick up the 2x4 when I'm not using it. Thanks for the note on the eyes, they should be up near the handle bars, I think. Well, another project to put on my list! It's going to be a busy Spring. Jim

I am thinking of buying the HF lift and I am curious if anyone has a way of storing this unit on its side or end. I have a single car attached garage and we use it for a screened patio in the summer. So, as a consequence space is limited in my garage. The info in the HF website says it is just over 300 lbs and also has wheels to move it. I thought about tilting it, on it's side, up against the inside wall of the garage but am not sure how to do that safely. Anyone have any practical solutions for storing this? Thanks Jim
