Yeah, they're Crazy, but they got skills...

Like many others here, I have one of your braces on my 87, I also have one of the TCI upgrades from Dingy, although I've never installed it. I've also purchased from Skydoc, and plan on doing a clutch upgrade on my second gen with parts from him next Spring. Actually, I've never seen the banner ('puter musta' blocked it) I think most members would happily buy from other members first. Great prices, and the buyer has endless support after the purchase, and a fantastic resource to rely on from the many knowledgeable members on this site. It only makes sense to look here first. Thanks to all of you for all that you do. It's much appreciated. Merry Christmas to all !!!

I make a habit of saying "Merry Christmas" this time of year, whenever the opportunity presents itself. It's not that often that I'll get a "Merry Christmas" in return.....usually "Happy Holidays", which I gladly accept, but am disappointed that the reason for the season isn't commonly acknowledged. The politically correct brainwashing has been pretty effective. I'll keep doin' my part though. Merry Christmas everyone !!!

I believe I heard somewhere that WD40 was formulated to displace water and protect the metal on Titan rockets. Water Displacement......40th formula they tried.

I don't hunt with a rifle any more.....haven't for over 10 years. I still go up to the cabin in Northern PA with the same guys I've been hunting with for nearly 40 years now. Not many deer left up there. The Game Commission "managed" them nearly out of existence. In any case, here's a pic of the one I would've had if I'd been willing to shoot. I watched him from about 250 yards out, and he came within 60 yards, offering a standing, broadside 60 yard shot. (Couldn't miss) I enjoyed my "hunt" thoroughly, and am still part of the gang. This pic shows him as he's walking away, but shows the horns pretty well.

Nah....I don't think the Christmas Season should begin till I get home from Deer Camp. The wife was doing a search through the DVR to record her / our favorites and was upset that she couldn't find them. Used to be that It's a Wonderful Life, ...The Bishops Wife.....Bells of St. Marys......White Christmas..... would all play several times in December

The wife was searching for "The Bishops Wife" and "It's a Wonderful Life", which are Christmas Staples for us, but she couldn't find any showings listed. We have Directv, and a premium package, so we've about 500 channels and can't understand why they wouldn't show them this year.

Gimme a yell when ya do it again. Lisa and I would like to give it a try.

Somebody gonna do some FANCY weldin'. I'm jealous.

Gubment just wants to protect us.

My niece got a 6 point with a crossbow. (Ohio) I haven't hunted in 10 years, but I still go up the huntin' cabin with the guys. I usually take a camera, and hunt with it. I thought I got some great pics of a ten pointer until I tried to view them, finding that they didn't come out. Didn't format the card or sumthin' As I've aged, I lost my desire to kill deer. I like to see them too much, and there's too few of them left where I hunt.

With the classic styling of the second gens, they look a lot like Harleys, which has prompted the slang that calls all similarly styled bikes "Hardleys". Perhaps we should call the site Hardleyriders.com. LOL:rotf:

3 minutes and 45 seconds of my life that I'll never get back.

A profound music video. Very popular with today's youth, asking the important question.....What does the fox say??? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE]Ylvis - The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?) [Official music video HD] - YouTube[/ame]

I've been here all along. Ridin' season is over for a lot of us, so not too many bike related issues to discuss, plus we're getting into the busy holiday season. I've noticed the same thing happening in years past. I wouldn't be too worried, but I'll try to get a lil' more involved.

I'd sure like to join ya, but that's first day of Buck season. I'll be up at the cabin in North Central PA until Tuesday night. I don't hunt anymore, but I've been there every year for the last 37 years and don't want to break the tradition. Same group of guys goes up every year. At least those that are still with us.

If I can get it in Pennsylvania, I'll pick some up when I head up that-a-way for Buck Season, right after Thanksgiving. Any ideas on where to pick it up in North West / North Central PA? Generally my trek to Camp takes me from Youngstown, (to pick up my Dad....91....he doesn't hunt anymore, but likes to get together with the guys)...anyhoo...as I said....From Youngstown to Dubois along 80 then North East to Sinnemahoning.

I wanna make up a batch of Apple Pie, but don't know where to get the Everclear. I can get it online, but the shipping is almost as much as the product. I live in Central OH, but don't remember ever seeing it in the Liquor Stores. Anyone know where I can git sum???

Whew!!! Havin' access to the right tools and knowing how to use 'em makes all the difference. I'd have been in trouble. Great save !!!

Interesting. Post your impressions after you try it out. I may want to get one if it works well on a RSTD.

Your Venture is rejecting the Harley parts. Take two ounces of Seafoam and call me in the morning.

Travelling down a country road.....enjoying the sights side to side.....doin' about 50mph......crested a small hill and went instantly from paved road to newly laid, deep, loose gravel......had a puckered butt until I got it down to about 10mph. That stuff was so loose I couldn't safely go any faster. Rode it out for the next 3 miles until I got back to paved road. I don't care for gravel, but I don't usually shy away from it, but this stuff was LOOSE !!!

I've always been a Honda guy, but started liking Yamaha back in my hill climbing days when I had a Yamaha TT500, which I liked because they had superior clutches, which is pretty important on a dirt bike. Other than that I've stuck with Honda until I got into the heavier street bikes, which, after some research led me to the Venture, and there's been no looking back. Having said that, it's hard to say anything bad about a Honda. .....other than they can be a pain to start when cold.

The slingshot post made me think of this old video. A demonstration of American Ingenuity. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8whVxTj7iQ]Funny Homemade Fireworks (ORIGINIAL) - YouTube[/ame]

I feel guilty for laughing, but that was funny. Hope he's OK.
