  1. Mine is punch marked at the end of the serial number and I was told that showed 2nd gear was fixed by the dealer.
  2. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:
  3. Would never of believed it if I hadn't seen it. WOW.
  4. A friend of mine and his wife worked at a detail shop just down the road from one of the biggest auto auctions in Michigan. They would be very busy Monday and Tuesday (auction on Wednesday) and slow rest of the week. So they (the 2 of them) made business cards and passed them out to the used car dealers in the area and went into business for themselves. They have a great business now going to the dealers detailing trade-ins. It worked for them.
  5. WOW I was ready to complain that it is only 6 degrees -23 windchill here. What the heck, it's still to cold here. :cold::cold:
  6. Jets and Packers Why the Jets? Because I'm a die hard Steeler Hater. Why the Packers? Because of the Lions Calvin Johnson TOUCHDOWN catch against the bears that was called no touchdown. Whoever wins these should be good games. Can't Wait
  7. This looks like the same thing they are using this year on the rear brake in Motocross racing. Just saw it last Saturday while watching Motocross on TV.
  8. All of us that served in the Military have heard the "joking" from one branch of service to the other. I was in the Marines and was stationed on a Army base (Fort Gordon) in Georgia and later on a Navy base (Great Lakes) in Chicago and took plenty of ribbing but it was all in fun. This post was nothing but an example of a Marine poking fun at the other branches of service like we all did and I fail to see where any disrespect was directed to anyone. And if you were in the service you can't tell me you didn't get your shots in at another branch of service. Now no Marine would want to take a beach without the Navy soften up the beaches with fire from ships and Navy planes. Navy Seals and Sea bee's were right up front with everyone else. No Army or Marine solider would of wanted to head into Iraq without the Air force taking out 70% of Iraq's defenses before a solider moved in. I've seen Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines fighting at the same place at the same time and we need to be proud of all our service men and women. But lighten up and take the ribbing for how it was intended, friendly inter-service fooling around. Personally you couldn't get me up in one of those bombers with all the fancy land to air missiles out there. And forget about being on a ship, having my home sunk in the middle of the Ocean is not my cup of tea. I'll stick to the half shelter and good ole solid Mother Earth. Thanks again to all that have served, to all those who are serving, and to all those who supports them.
  9. Yep Squidly, we are up here hoping it will get UP to 37 some day. Balmy +6 here now. Glad you were able to adapt to the Texas climate. :cold:
  10. I thought it was funny. Of course I was a Jar Head. :rotf::rotf:

    HD Nova?

    Last year at Bikes on the Bricks there was a V-4 shaft driven Harley. Thought I had pictures of it but can't find them. Maybe Straycatt has some.
  12. GL1800 is what I want again if money will ever allow it.
  13. Took 1 time to figure out how hard to hit the ball. Got a 53 the first time and a 43 the second try. Tried it again after about 2 hours and got a 33. I'm gonna get hooked on this me thinks.
  14. No I was there but nobody else was. So I called them and they said meet them here. So when I got there they had went here. So once again I called them and they said since I was here they would go to there but I went there and they said they were here. So I left here and went to there but they left there and went back here. So once again I called them and they said we will stay here, so I left there and showed up here BUT they thought I was staying here so they went there. We decided to meet between here and there and the pictures to prove it are posted in the Michigan meet and Eat. So we all ended up being there, or Here.
  15. Wishing you were in Michigan at our Meet and Eat.
  16. Ravens over Steelers Patriots over Jets.............. Patriots over Ravens Bears over Seahawks Falcons over Packers......... Falcons over Bears I think it will be Patriots vs Falcons in the Super Bowl with Patriots winning. BUT I'd like to see the Falcons win it all.
  17. On the news tonight they compared the flooded area of Queensland with the size of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts combined. Hope things get better quick.
  18. Saw a new soup commercial for Campbell's "Heart Healthy" brand and you were in it. You two just keep on popping up everywhere.
  19. WHEN I SAY I'M BROKE - I'M BROKE! A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, to be confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner. 'Good morning,' said the young man. 'If I could take a couple minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners... ' 'Go away!' said the old lady. ''I'm broke and haven't got any money!'' and she proceeded to close the door. Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open... ''Don't be too hasty!'' he said. ''Not until you have at least seen my demonstration.'' And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway carpet. ''Now, if this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder.'' The old lady stepped back and said, ''Well let me get you a fork, 'cause they cut off my electricity this morning."
  20. The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation. "He's a funeral director," she answered. "Interesting," the newsman thought. He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time, a smile came to her face and she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when she was in her early 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a preacher when in her 60's, and now in her 80's, a funeral director. The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had married four men with such diverse careers. She smiled and explained; "I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go."

    CCW

    This old story out of Texas . Seems a guy cruises thru a stop sign, or whatever, and gets pulled over by a local policeman. Guy hands the cop his driver's license, insurance verification, plus his concealed carry permit. "Okay, Mr. Smith," the cop says, "I see your CCW permit. Are you carrying today?" "Yes, I am." "Well then, better tell me what you got." Smith says, "Well, I got a .357 revolver in my inside coat pocket. There's a 9mm semi-auto in the glove box. And, I've got a .22 magnum derringer in my right boot." "Okay," the cop says. "Anything else?" "Yeah, back in the trunk, there's an AR15 and a shotgun. That's about it." "Mr. Smith, are you on your way to or from a gun range...?" "Nope." "Well then, what are you afraid of...?" "Not a dam thing..."
  22. Reminds me of the summer of 2006 when I got to do that on a GL1800. When money wasn't a problem and health was good. I'm thankful I got to do it once, but I sure would like to do it one more time.
  23. I hope everyone makes it thru your bad weather, but with all the ribbing you give us Northerners when we are freezing and you all are riding in 70 degree weather I can't help but grin a little bit.
  24. Sent to my Son and his Girlfriend.......Thanks.
