All well and good, but I gotta say, by the looks of the rubber seals and parts, if it's a 96 they musta' used some poor quality rubber. I have a Ford 800 tractor / backhoe, which, by serial # I can tell was made in '57 and some of the original rubber parts on it look to be in better shape than the seals around the pushrod tubes on this trike. The numbers don't lie, and I believe what the experts say, but, knowing nothing about these machines....it looks a LOT older than a '96.

Must've had too many incidents of off duty officers shooting people at football games. I'm glad they took action to prevent any future such incidents.

The elk just wanted to see if he could outrun the Harley. Surprisingly, the Harley was faster. Musta' had some mods.

Thoughts and prayers going your way. Don't worry too much about the stint, from what I understand it's a fairly routine procedure these days. My brother had a similar situation. Flue like symptoms they couldn't figure out until they gave him a stress test. They took him from the test directly to the operating room and put a stint in the "widomaker". (98% blocked) That was on a Thursday, and he was back to work on Monday.

I stopped by and checked it out. From what I can see it is as described. Started on the first kick, and he was going to let me take it for a spin, but I didn't feel comfortable doing that, since I was not the prospective buyer. The rubber parts were cracked with age, but not enough to be a major problem yet. Oil seepage here and there, but no major leaks evident. No bad sounds coming from the engine other than maybe some valve train noise, which I'd expect from something that old. Only 306 miles on it. Seller weighs over 200 pounds and says he can get it up to 58 mph. It's licensed and street legal. There's some disagreement about the origins of this machine, but the seller was adamant about it, and gave a pretty detailed, and believable history. He says it's one of only three brought into the US, and, from the serial number, believes it was built in 1946. Seemed to me to be a good buy at $3500, but what do I know. In any case, I spoke to the prospective buyer (Vince) and told him what I could about it, so it's up to him from there. Whether he buys it or not, I enjoyed checking it out, and had a nice (and educational) conversation with the seller. In the interest of full disclosure, I also contacted my brother in law, who mostly collects and restores old Mack Trucks, but has an interest in things like this, and told him that if the sale didn't work out, he should check it out. Never did get a chance to drop my computer off. Still dealing with startup issues. My work here is done.

Elections have consequences.

I spoke with the seller, and will try to stop by and take a look later today. He's as confused as I as to who the actual interested party is. LOL:cool10:

Coincidence. I don't usually have my 'puter with me at work, but I've been having some issues with it lately, so I'm gonna drop it off to a tech savvy buddy after work. Anyhoo, I figgered that I'd try it before going on the roof. (Verizon mi-fy) and saw your post. I called the number you posted and got a voicemail. I left a message with my name and # and explained that I'd like to check out the "assault vehicle". That's where it's at for now. If he doesn't call back, I'll try again at the end of the workday,...before heading back home. That's about the best I can do for now. I'll let ya know what happens. I may have to use my phone to post though....not sure if I'll have to leave the 'puter with my friend or not. Never posted with my phone before......hmmmm.....

I'll be working in Reynoldsburg today, which is on the East side of town. If that's any closer to the seller, I'd be willing to stop by. Gimme a call if you'd like me to go.

Haven't missed an election since the mid 80s. I'm not so sure it matters though. I truly wish I'd never opened my eyes to politics. Then I wouldn't know just how bad it really is. Ignorance is bliss.

I've a cabin in North Central PA. For 20 years now, my wife and myself along with other couples do an annual innertube float trip down the Susquehanna River. We all take inner tubes, with a raft with a cooler in it, loaded with beer, pop water and samiches. Well, now we have to worry about this DNR ass who hides in the bushes with binoculars looking for people drinking beer as they float down the river. Looking to hand out citations. We're not a rowdy bunch, ...take all our trash with us....not hurting anyone, but now we have to worry about what the locals call the "Crick Dick". But we still call this the Land of the Free??? The locals are not happy about it as the tourist trade is the biggest part of their business. Now that the Game Commission has effectively decimated the deer herd, there's only a fraction of the hunters that there used to be, further harming the local economy. My brother fishes up there regularly, and had his license checked 9 times this year by the same guy. Yes....the Crick Dick. What the heck is happening to this country.....something needs to change.

Now that really sucked !!! There's 30 seconds of my life I'll never get back.

Trailer coulda' been nice, but, like I said, I don't need any more projects right now anyway. When I'm ready, I'll just pay the big bucks for a decent (used) trailer. Thanks for lookin' into it.

Great Price. I picked up 6 cans today. If you spend $25 or more you get a free hat. It's a pretty nice hat too, so be sure to ask for one.

Just got home I live about an hour North of Columbus, but work down that-a-way most days. I'd be happy to take a look if ya still need me to. Feel free to call or pm me. My number is listed in my member info.

Hey Gary.... I may be interested in the trailer. I need another project like I need a hole in the head, but if the price is right, what the hey.... I live just a little ways South of you, so the location thing works for both of us.

SIPPO THE HIPPO FOUND!! (Canton) http://images.craigslist.org/00D0D_1sshf8qCGyi_600x450.jpg Police Stop Leads To Bizarre Arrest: Three people remain in custody after being arrested on Saturday morning following a traffic stop in Canton. In what was described by Lt. Paul Sullivan as "the most bizarre traffic stop" that he has seen in his 23 years on the force, Canton police responded to a report of a disabled vehicle traveling on Route 95. They came across the vehicle shortly after 2 a.m. traveling in the high-speed lane on the southbound side. "We spotted the green Hyundai Elantra traveling at approximately five miles-per-hour in the passing lane with a huge shower of sparks coming from the rear of the vehicle. As we got closer we noticed that the rear end of the vehicle was dragging on the ground due to the fact that there were no rear tires or axle on the vehicle," said Lt. Sullivan of the Canton Police. "After the vehicle pulled over, we approached it and found that the driver was not only drinking a can of beer, but that he was not wearing any pants and that he had urinated on himself." After not one, but two, brief foot chases, Francis Fasher, 45, of Foxboro, was placed under arrest. "There were also two female passengers in the back seat," stated Lt. Sullivan. "One of the females was asleep, partially clad. The other was extremely hysterical. At that time, we believed that she might have been under the influence of PCP, due to the fact that she claimed there were mice biting at her and climbing on her." Because of the size of the two women, police were unable to pull the women out of the rear doors of the vehicle. After members of the Canton Rescue Squad cut the roof off the vehicle, and with the help of a crane supplied by Shaugnessy Crane, the women were lifted out of the car. Police estimate the weight of each woman was between 300 and 450 pounds. Shortly after being extracted from the vehicle, the two women began arguing with each other and blows were thrown. At that point, police arrested 17-year-old Tina "Pebbles" Zonfrelli of Foxboro and 56-year-old Donna Dyers of Lynn. "We followed the drag marks and found that the axle and tires had separated from the vehicle some four miles back. The axle, wheels and tires were found in the parking lot of the Ancient Lounge located in Foxboro," stated Canton police officer James C. West. "At this time we believe that the three individuals had patronized the Ancient Lounge for the better part of the day, and that at closing time, they decided to continue the party at Mr. Fasher's apartment." Upon entering the vehicle, the combined weight of the occupants caused the axle and wheels to separate from the vehicle. "It is unbelievable that an individual could drive over four miles and not realize that there were no rear tires on the car," says West. During the search of the vehicle, police came up with an unexpected find. "The interior of the vehicle was very messy. There were beer cans, food wrappers, rib bones, and other rubbish in the car. Under the driver's seat we found a nest of mice. I guess she did see a mouse," West chuckled. Police charged Fasher with driving while intoxicated, indecent exposure, urinating in public, disturbing the peace, failure to stay in marked lanes, destruction of public property, assaulting a police officer, driving an unregistered motor vehicle, driving an uninsured motor vehicle, non-payment of child support, public intoxication, evading police, passengers not wearing seat belts, transporting lab animals without proper permits and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. "We've been after this guy for quite some time," said West. "Mr. Fasher is well known to us. He is a renowned transvestite, and he's been arrested a number of times for prostitution. In June of 1998, he was arrested six times in one week. In fact, three of those arrests occurred on one day." Fasher faces a number of complaints from business owners in Canton and charges have been filed against him by a number of citizens in the community. Four people have filed civil-damage lawsuits against him after their private property was damaged by Fasher. One person has alleged that he had sex with her prize-winning French poodle in her backyard. Jimmy Chan, owner of Golden Dong China Restaurant claims that he assaulted an employee and caused damages to his establishment. "He drink all morning," said Chan. "He get crazy. I tell him no more beer for you and he throw Pu-Pu platter at waitress. He a very bad man. He broke very expensive mirror!" James Marathos, owner of Marathos Carpets, alleges that he found Fasher sleeping in his store when he opened up for business one morning three weeks ago. "He broke in through the back door and passed out right here," said Marathos, pointing out the spot. "I threw him out but later I discovered that he had urinated all over our entire Persian rug collection, and I ended up with a cleaning bill for $2,600." Fasher is scheduled to appear in Norfolk County District Court on Monday morning.

Wishing you good luck and a speedy recovery.

Have fun,....ride safe my friend.

We'll be going back next year. We'd love to have some Venture riders join us. I'm just sayin'

That's going a bit too far. That suv could go a long way before those bikes could stop it. The driver had the right to do whatever was necessary to protect his family and himself. That would include crunching as many bikes as he had to, and may even require going over people if he had no other choice. Having said that, he would not have the right to act out of anger, or with wreckless disregard for the property or lives of others. He would only be able to do what he could to keep himself and family from being harmed / killed.

I don't care what started it. There's no excuse for such behavior from those punks. I think the suv driver would've been justified to throw it in reverse and back over a few more bikes, or do whatever it took to keep them away as long as possible by continuing to move. A mob of Billy Bad Ass punks who felt brave in their numbers. Sickening.

They finally posted the youtube video of the Cigar Dash. This is the first time I've seen it. Considering I'd been drinkin' all day, ...from lunchtime up to about a half hour before the dash (8:30) I didn't do too bad. They took me from outside, put a shirt over my head, then led me into the temperature / humidity controlled warehouse. It was actually pretty cool in there, compared to outside. In any case, they led me in, with the shirt over my head, so I had no idea what to expect when they took the shirt away. Anyhoo.....this is how it went.

A guy walked into a Honda cycle dealership just to browse. Suddenly he spotted the most beautiful Goldwing that he had ever seen and walked over to inspect it. As he bent forward to feel the fine wide vinyl seat, an unexpected fart escaped him. Embarrassed, he anxiously looked around to see if anyone had noticed and hoped a sales person didn't pop up right now. But, as he turned back, there, standing next to him, is a salesman. With a pleasant smile he greeted him, "Good day, sir. How may we help you today?" Trying to maintain an air of sophistication and acting as though nothing had happened, he smiles back and asked, "Sir, what is the price of this Goldwing?" Still smiling, he replied, "Sir, I'm very sorry to say that if you farted just by touching it, you are going to ***** when you hear the price!
