  1. When you turn to the left lock and key is pushed mine I have to turn back towards the right to get it to lock then key can be taken out( turn too the left all the way and then back abit just enough to feel movement to the lock section That slight movement might work). Also turn to right and do the same!
  2. Thank you again for all your work!!!!
  3. Congrats!!! Welcome to the group! Also like @Freebird said about finding time good luck!!! Seems on my part that kids and wife seem to think that I am more available than ever!!So leaves less time to do things I figured I would be able to get done for me like RIDDING which I try to do when I can!! Also news about all the crashes involving bikes and autos has the wife concerned altho I think she knows how attentive I am and I am also always on the defensive!!! Just yesterday news said there were 12 crashes last year and there have been more this summer alone and were 75 percent deemed rider's fault which doesn't help for insurance cost!
  4. Yummi looking!!!!

    I'm Back!

    Welcome back!!!
  6. Condolences!!!
  7. I have a 2012 with around 116,000klms and have only changed half plate in rear of clutch to full on (mostly slipping a bit as everyone says I tow trailers a lot have home-made utility and a Time Out tent trailer) also did valve check and only one was a little tight. SO you should have no problems as long as maintenance was properly done like @cowpuc said!
  8. First congrats!!! I quit on my first try as nieces borrowed some home Rollie cigarettes from their mom and they tried to get me to try smoking like them. I took one puff and that was it almost puked never again!!!! Have lit a couple for my wife when she was busy but inhaled only enough to lite it.
  9. @Marcarl " in the rain " didn't show up when I posted I guess!!!
  10. Out for ride last night and got caught so wiped down bike waiting to get oil and filter to change shortly!
  11. I also have had to try different helmets over the years as for shape of head. Mine seems to be oblong (ready for comment) which most helmets try to push against forehead causing headache. So top name brand models are too tight (explained to me that they are designed for European people) so tried HJC model CL-MAX 3 which I bought at Pioneer Sports in New York State around Orleans and had help from sales person on fit. It is a 2018 model so not sure if it is available but fits great! It is a modular as I also wear glasses and is great taking off and on plus can take drink if needed without stopping. Like everything it depends on your fit and style that is for you!
  12. Very nice work!! Like others I wish I had that talent!!
  13. Like you said there is always someone!!
  14. Just saw this and both Phantom Wife (Bev) and I both hope she is doing well!!
  15. Congrats on joining club!!!
  16. I agree with @steamer! Visited Letchworth State Park on one of our bike tours when we went to New York rally and it is worth the ride. Didn't camp so can't comment. Yes also to the route! And by all means visit Pioneer! Lots of great roads and elevations to ride thru! Loved riding down there and hope to go back as soon as I can arrange!
  17. Yes welcome back also!!!! Been a while! You've been missed!

    @Marcarl I thought you new Phantom Wife better in the time you've known her that I try to do as I'm asked! She is hard to read sometimes!
  19. That first time that I get to ride every year feels GREAT.....Makes me remember why I enjoy riding. Just wish I had more time to ride whenever I want. Quote @uncledj I totally agree with this comment!! Now that I am retired I figured I would be able to ride whenever I want (which I can) BUT now government puts a damper on it by jacking up price of gas and everything else! Have a slight argument every time I would like to ride that is a waste of money!

    Trip was last minute decision as someone else was going to show up but didn't so I rode right down. Sorry @ReinyRooster I texted @XV1100SE about the same thing and he had to visit his family and by the time I thought about anyone else Phantom Wife had things for me to do so I had to head home! She really didn't think I needed them and it was a waist of gas but couldn't pass on the price they were! I will contact both of you next time I am in the neighborhood and try to get together!!

    Yes it was a great deal as every other ad wanted double or more for a set . Only thing wrong was he used them to get unstuck last winter and slightly bent a couple teeth but it doesn't effect anything.
  22. I also found mine in a bin in the garage when I was looking for camping gear last year and not the sock drawer but I did find a few dollars American from last trip to New York rally.
  23. Glad to hear this! You and her deserve it.!!

    ⁸Went to Kitchener Ontario yesterday to pick up a set of ATV ramps to use with my bike repair table. Only paid $50can for them as they were too heavy for his wife to use.
