  1. Love mine and been running my reloads for the last year once I tailored the load its one of my most accurate guns!!
  2. Did mine awhile back and it's the greatest thing since sliced bread he truly is the man!!!
  3. 10 years with the AMA and like it was said before I belong less for what perks I get but more for what they do for motorcycling in general. But there's great events, a nice magazine, small discount at some place for parts and hotels, towing really helped me out once when the stator quit on my first gen. I'll be a member for a very long time
  4. Actually 3 yrs ago today think it was a google search found a couple forums but this was the place for me!!!
  5. I'm on my third set of Dunlop 404's I do use ride on tire balancer and I got 18,000 on the first rear and just shy of 20,000 on the second. Pressure is key and with the ride on it's always right 42psi every time I check
  6. The directions rock! Follow those and you can't go wrong!
  7. lol oh i ride from Traverse City to Petoskey everyday for work 66 miles one way so I am averaging 18,000 each summer
  8. Just wanted to give a shout out to skydoc, where to start, well over the last month or so the clutch has slipped a couple times but figured it would hold till winter since the riding season in northern mi will be ending soon. Well last wed it got bad (I ride 2 up and with a trailer often and have 74000 on the bike) so I called 50 stealers to find out no one stocks the clutch disks and no one could get me in for at least 2 weeks, oh and wanted 450-600 to do the clutch!!! So I made a call to skydoc 20 mins before his post office closed so he RACED there to ship my full upgrade kit. Got it first thing friday morning, now I do alot of my own work but untill I do something once theres always that lil voice "man I dont want to screw this up" but I wasnt waiting 2 weeks either. So I dove in, with one phone call to Earl to check something things went great I really cant believe I was nervous at all. Very straight forward and very good instructions. And now it feels more like a sport bike to me the clutch feels great, the lever maybe a slight bit harder to pull but after 10 mins didnt notice at all. So to anyone thinking of doing this upgrade I say dive in and save yourself the money on the stealer!!!! Just my 2 cents....
  9. Will keep a eye on this sounds like fun, heading up to the u p for 3 days next weekend with a bunch should be a nice trip
  10. Still sending daily prayers from northern michigan Hang in there ponch!!
  11. I do 3 hours a day to work plus my weekend riding, so I would say 25-30 hours per week sometimes more I also did a saddlesore 1000 last month 1054 in 20 hours
  12. i was campiing in brimley mi, rode back sunday down 75 to 31 to traverse city was on my black midnight pulling my hf custom trailer? could have been me lol?
  13. I've owned several different hand guns over the years and my personal choice by far is my h&k usp 9mm super accurate right size for my big hands and as far as cc'd I use a shoulder rig. Why hide it yes I have gun and yes I will use it!! Lol just my 2cents
  14. Just got my Dunlop a week ago 38th week of 2009 so about 2 yrs old but I burn through about one tire a year on the rear
  15. I have heard from many the more witnesses and documention you send in the faster you get certified and get your stuff back, how long did it take to get your things from them?
  16. Well got it done! After some construction in Dayton and a crazy storm near Detroit 1100 miles in about 20 hours oh and don't forget the 35 mins with the cop near grayling lol but all in all great trip thanks so much again Wayne !!!!
  17. That's correct just thought having a member witness gives me a chance to meet someone new I have my start and end witnesses all set just needed that mid point one. Thanks guys
  18. That would be great. I will let you know if I need ya thanks so much
  19. Well the time has come I am looking at this sat the 2nd of july for my saddlesore ride. I will be leaving Traverse City Mi by 5 am and should reach Crittendon Ky around 2 pm where I will be turning around and heading back to TC. My question, is there anyone around that area that could meet me at the gas station and sign my paperwork for my turn a round witness. It should be about 2 figure I could text whoever from my last stop to give you about a 2 hour notice. Please let me know asap and thanks in advance
  20. My daughter and I took about a 4 hour bike ride around northern michigan, we both had a great time!!! love living up north!!
  21. I drive from Traverse City to Petoskey everyday for work and see them at least a couple times a month, saw a large one this morning circling low over the roadway couldnt stop for a pic but beautiful birds
