    Cheep vs. Cheap for future reference

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    Ah...let's see.. Two Tone has been taking so much flack, kidding around, and questionable retorts that he's resorted to using the very obnoxious giant head.. to give everyone who's responded a big giant razzzzzzzberry.. There does that help???

     

    Condor, you crack me up. I enjoy reading your responses.

     

    For everyone else, who "doesn't get it; Huh; and the point is; and am I missing something here..." - here's the deal: I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the English language and thought that something inexpensive might be called CHEAP, but I observed all sorts of stuff for sale on this board which was described as CHEEP and people using the word CHEEP when describing how things were made. So, not knowing everything - I looked it up figuring I was missing an alternative spelling. Once I found the answers, I thought I'd share. You're welcome. Oh, and also to the guys who have the problems spelling... not sure about your computer but mine give me a red line under a questionable word so I can take a second look at it before I hit send.

     

    Now with respect to the big giant head, I always wondered what it should be used for so I thought "what the hell" let me be dangerous and give it a shot. A CHEEP shot.

     

    And lastly, what you described as flack really doesn't bother me at all. It's only a computer you know. I'm thinking there are bigger worries in the world than chat room banter.

     

    Here's a little head for you since the big giant one was apparently over the top:

    Front Turn Signal Lamps

    in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)

    Posted

    Anybody else getting wet inside their front turn signal/running lamp housings? If so, any good fix? Yesterday a friend pointed out that I had a burnt out bulb. Opened it up to change it and it is all corroded. Screws were rusted, inner receptacle was rusted. Never noticed it upon inspection in the past, but it was rusted enough to have been happening for a while. The rubber gasket appeared in tact. Think this is covered under the 5 year?

     

    Thanks in advance,

    Really sharp bike. I was looking at one long and hard on Saturday. Very seriously thinking about trading in one of my other bikes (not the RSV) for a new 1200RT as a lighter weight commuter. How do you like yours? What options did you get?

    Stebel Nautilus Air Horn

    Well, I finally had some time to install mine today. Didn't take very long at all. The bracket from CarbonOne worked great and the directions were clear. It is very loud. With the hurricane passing through here today, I didn't get much ride time, but tomorrow I will be heading up to the PA/MD border to meet some friends. If I don't have an opportunity to use the horn along the way, I definitely will upon arrival at the meet location. Hopefully I blow them out of their boots.

     

    Ride safe,

    A good trip, but not so much fun on the interstate, as you might have guessed. I do it frequently to AZ and sometimes I hit hotels and other times I camp. Plot out on a map about how far you think you might make it in a day. Survey the area off of I-40 for state parks (or other parks) that allow camping, or Google search koa or campgrounds for your nearest options. Adjust your road trip accordingly. If you have an RV/camping/trailer store near you, you might be able to find a book which lists options and take that with you. Maybe hit Borders or search the net for one as well. Remember, a state park may not have as many services as a koa or similar establishment. Ride safe and enjoy.

    Question?

    I had a similar problem. Looked everywhere inside the fairing and at the controller. Turned out to be some wiring that ran under the seat that was getting crimped. Check it out. May be a totally different problem for you - not sure. Good luck.

    Anybody Near Ft Dix, NJ?

    Lots of nice riding around Ft. Dix. You can get to the Wharton State Forrest in a snap and tour around the Pines, see the cranberry bogs, then head south towards Cape May. If you stay away from the shore and the PA border, there's not a lot of anything in the center part of the state but rural country roads from Ft. Dix Down to Cape May. Enjoy your stay.
