  1. I'm wrong a LOT, but I know that Todd loves to drag the boards of his '86. So much so that he has Titanium bolts under them to throw maximum sparks. He has shaved though and that threw me at 1st....your still my hero Eck
  2. I agree with Mark, Todd had the stick on bullet holes in his windshield too as the pic Mark posted up does. The pics in his profile are several years old, I'm still sticking with it being Todd

    I'm baaaack

    Good to see you back on Ken, take care of yourself and stop in when you can
  4. She is badass now...isn't that cool!
  5. That is most definitely Todd! He has some special bolt heads under the floorboards to create all the sparks....great pic of him on the Dragon PS...Love the Venturerider sticker on the windshield!!
  6. Well he did it, Rob (formerly aamcotrans) just bought himself a '99 Valkyrie Interstate, and it's a pretty sweet ride. Here's a few pics of the new bike.
  7. Tahquamenon Falls is a must in my book, Pictured Rocks on Lake Superior, Copper Harbor on the Keewenaw peninsula. Maritime museum at Whitefish point, there's a lot of cool things up there.
  8. Wrong answer...Fixed front fairing not a fork mounted one, definitely 1st gen
  9. Yeah...Kansas is the same way
  10. I never knew that Father time had birthdays...I thought he was, you know, Timeless. Best to you older than dirt person
  11. If your not running air in it, get a plug the same thread as the shrader valve. You did mention that the opposite one is not hitting, have you tried to turn the problem one to see if it can clear or are the bars not evenly split in the clamps?
  12. All the best to you Marine, if the spit in your eye is any indication you'll come through just fine. Take care of yourself and it will all fall into place
  13. Didn't you just have a birthday last week!? have a great day!
  14. Dave, As far as I know, without some MAJOR modifications, it's not possible. The CB runs through the amp that the radio hooks into and subsiquently blocks out the radio when the CB is energized.
  15. Did you remove the carbs at all when you replaced the valve cover gaskets? If you didn't then I would definitely question the mileage thing. Look for vacuum lines that may have come off or possibly the choke knob not fully retracting the idle enrichment shafts. I dont know how well you know this guy or what kind of friendship you have, but if you did not take money for it, I wouldn't be cancelling anything to work on this bike. If he's a good friend he'll understand and you can come to an agreement. If you did it for money, your not in a good position....
  16. Good to see you folks enjoying yourself
  17. I have pulled hundreeds of rear wheels off both 1st and 2nd gens, NEVER have I seen a bent axle. Sorry to say but your trust in this mechanic might not be a good thing. They are supposed to be strait, not bent. If you had or have a dragging issue I would make sure that the axle spacer is in the right spot and the whole assembly was installed properly
  18. What!....your coming to Paris Texas, when!?
  19. Bob, Glad to hear you were able to make it off safely, we weren't so lucky when our rear tire blew at 75 mph. I will add this in and hopefully not twist someones knickers. If you have a tire that is under inflated and run it in extreme heat and over loaded your asking for trouble (I'm not saying your was) The max pressure on the sidewall will give you the max weight rating if your under inflated you will dramatically loose weight rating. I always run my rear tires at max pressure so I dont "forget" to pump it back up should I take it on a trip. The front tire I usually run 2 or 3 lbs. under max pressure as there is nowhere near the max load on the front tire of any bike. As stated any blowout you can walk away from is a good one, I'm glad to hear you weren't hurt
  20. Yeah....ME!
  21. Be safe my friends, you 2 have a great trip and were looking to live vicariously through those pics your going to take
  22. I know it probably hasn't happened with the "I Do" yet, but I'm so excited that I couldn't wait to post it up. I wish you both all the best in your future together and look very forward to seeing you again as Mr. & Mrs. Nantais. We love you both, Lonna and I wish we could have been there to see it, just know that we were there in spirit with you and everyone else. God Bless you both and here's to many many happy years together!
  23. Great idea Lewis, as soon as you get them let me know and we'll take $20 or so off your hands
  24. Nope, Murphys Law Mike.....it was just you
  25. Could Be.....
