SLOW HAND replied to painterman67's topic in Watering Hole
sometimes you really NEED a ride. I'm tempted to put my back tire on the ice & try to simalate one . Better wait to daylight for the neighbors sake. -
Good luck to charlene.

:sign yeah that:He got his reserve $4500+$600 in fees . Clear title? If it weren't for the wiring under the seat it would have had a solo seat and probaly would've looked less funny. Only 5,000 miles if you like the look. I would have to go solo if he gave up the $600 fee. Or at least improv a trunk to balance the look.

I think some of the calls could have went either way , but truthfuly no one deserves thanks more than Bret for handing them the win. I can't be the only one to notice no one pointed this out right after the game . Give Bret all the respect & credit he deserves ,but if your calling the game do your job. You call it like you see it ,you know Farvre will admit his own mistakes , but everyone else not mention it on the feild shows a lack of integrity for thier jobs .(I'm not really upset because no one is acusing Bradshaw of being a journalist , but it does seem they would have to all agree not to mention it ,FOX style ) I hope Bret gets the next one & I'm sure few here could root against another old timer . I think the saints & LA probaly needed the win more anyway . I obviously don't have a horse in this race . What a party on Bourbon st. How bout dem Colts:stickpoke:

Clutch Hand, OK...I'm a wuss

First thing I would try is a larger size glove . Next might be adjusting the lever to sit a little closer to the bars , then you could sqeeze futher out on the lever for more leverage. I have problems with my hands going numb but I think it's poor circulation. It gets worse with gloves especialy if they are tight. It doesn't sound like a problem with the bike but compare it to another just to be sure. Good luck , hope this helps. You may have to get a different set of levers it doesn't look to have much room for adjusting the stock levers and I don't think I would trust trying to reshape them without a back-up . -
So cold my snowman is now a snowwoman , yep snowballs fell right off and I had to poke my finger in the rear and yell snake just to find his carrot !

I rode home from work before the plows ,only a few cars in the ditches. I have a 9yr old son who has two weeks off from school so I couldn't begrudge him . I have to cage it home at 2am without cold weather gear I'm not riding now anyway. I hope to have the ground white for Christmas even if it takes a second coat. It's been a long time coming. Did ya notice I didn't have to use the S word out of respect for the year round riders?

Thanks for the comments. It makes sense when I read it , but I know what I meant. I may try with some stainless steel , but I would like it to blend in with the trunk. Maybe if I make it work with steel someone can help if I move on to fiberglass . Maybe just mild steel and a rattlecan paintjob for the first attempt.

Unlike most who think it can't happen to them , I already know when it does happen I'll wish I was going slower. You can't have an 800lb bike to learn on and not expect to get whats coming to ya.I aways wear full gear and the preacher who sold me the bike said a prayer for me and his old scoot . Made it through the first riding season and am knocking on wood. I will get a Butler brake mod asap and start practicing emg. stops. If you ever get too cocky watch youtube deerstrikes and ask youself if you could have avoided it and you knew it was coming.I hope I'm able to post after my crash , but I'm in no rush.

I own a large dog who will sometimes escape a go for a run before he will return. If he were to get hit I know it is my fault .Local law officials use to incourage stopping and finding the owner but has changed over the years due to incidents after the fact. Not everyone can see reason at a time of grief. I would want to be told if someone hit my dog but could not blame them if not . I've been told for the safety of the rider that changeing speeds ,solwing down and then speeding back up , to make it harder to time is the best defense. In the end I am glad you are OK .As a dog lover I think it is important to let there be a clear line that it was a dog , sad yes, but had you made a wild attempt to avoid the result could have been tragic.

Sure would be nice if someone could build a wedge to fit between the top and bottom of the truck to give an extra 1 1/2 to 2" of clearence. Make it semi-permanent ,put a light or reflecter on it . Of course you would have to extend the truck latch. Whatcha think? I got a big helmet for my big head and I like to keep it locked up.It fits but not so good. Why can't the antennas be incorporated into some metal acessories that look good like bag gaurds or a truck rack? When I stay awake to long things sometimes make sense until I sleep on them. Feel free to shot em down . Idea men don't spell so good either , but I see we got alot of those here so I feel right at home and let em fly. We don't need no stinkin spellcheck.

Not to stray to far off subject but be warned the ferrets from the pet stores can spray too . Our german sheperd went after my brothers ferret when I was a kid , he let go real fast. We were told the scent sac was removed before being sold in pet stores . Probaly wasn't the worst lie told to make a sell. I don't remember what besides tomatoe juice my brother had to soak in . I just remember him and that ferret soaking in the tub at the same time and being there for days.

if ever the TP was put on over the top at my brother's house his cat would unroll the entire roll , it doesn't roll back up as easy

now if he would be willing to lower the price 1$ for every super rare 83 you can find for sale , I would love to own it . I'm not going to say anything bad about the bike , hopefully it will find it's way into one of our member's hands if he ever wises up.He did do a good job letting the pictures speak , if only he would stop letting his brain stop rattling around and making that rachet.

I don't know about being the best but I'm putting her up for the smartest. Giving you a great gift like that while you still have plenty of time for Christmas shopping . Maybe the rest of us can learn a little . Why didn't I think of that ?

With the help from all members ,moderaters ,members yet to be , and of course Freebird I know steps have been and will be taken to make sure this site out lives us . When I choose to or can no longer ride , I still intend on being a member because this is where my friends are . I would be proud if my son joins one day . Just wanted to say THANKS & if anything is needed to help with the site you know that you need not ask just let us know. If I use any info from this site , i can't help saving more than 12$ a year .

If the salvage title was intentionaly left out , it would also explain the lack of a warrenty . As always ASK B4 BIDDING assume NOTHING . I like the look , but love my trunk . I like to lock my jacket & helmet out of sight . I know thieves can get in if they want it enough , but I just don't want to keep it with me always. If it's salvaged bid very low , it'll probaly still be a great bike , but the value is damaged more than the bike. Used trunks are easy to find and most change pipes anyway . If you get it cheap , it is a 2008 , ride it forever & who cares about resale. If salvage title is " left out " take this as a warning & inspect as if they are known liars , who knows what else could be left out . At the very least treat everthing as suspect which is easy for me because I'm naturely suspect:bluesbrother:ious .
