Still riding my '99, not so much this summer due to circumstances but still enjoy it when i do get a chance to get in the wind.

Very well said Ben, hoping you had a wonderful Christmas and all the best in the New Year.

Prayers have been sent up on your behalf.

I saw something similar in our neck of the woods years ago and thought "good for you". They produce cars to be driven by handicapped people, why not bikes?

Prayers up that your family will feel the unmeasurable love and peace of our Heavenly Father as you journey thru this valley.

It's cheaper for you to go buy one then rent mine.

You sound like a up standing gentlemen that is not afraid to step on toes if needed. I believe management put you into that position because they saw something in you and appreciated you honesty. Keep doing what you feel is right, it got you the job and will carry you through this transition. Once you hit president then you can worry..........

Thanks Don I will give that a try.

I installed LED turn signals on my 99 Venture this past winter along with a load equalizer so that they blink at "normal" speed. The last few days they have been inconsistent as to the speed of the blink, fast then back to normal. Today on the way to work the right one was always fast but the left one was normal. After work they were both going fast. I checked all the connections all seemed well. I picked up another load equalizer and installed it but they were still blinking fast. Got it back together and off the maintenance and they are now blinking normally. Through all of this the four way flashers have always blinked normally. Could it be the flasher on the bike itself? I'm open to suggestions.

I was relocating a varmint from our back yard on the weekend and figured he would like a ride on the bike. I was wrong, the little bugger pi$$ed all over my trunk!!!

If i made that comment I would sleep with my eyes open for a week or two just to be safe.

Prayers up for a quick and full recovery.

I have the same problem being able to get the handle to the grip. If I pump it seems to hold better. Where are rebuild kits available?

Years ago I had a Ford with two fuel tanks, i would always switch tanks before it would run out. One day i missed and it sucked the tank dry along with all the crap at the bottom of the tank, there I was on the side of the road changing a fuel filter. For the same reason I always run on reserve and trust the count down/light will remind me to fuel up. I would be concerned about the crap accumulating at the bottom of the tank if you don't get into reserve regularly.

Our summers up here are definitely warmer than they use to be but by no means in the 100's. The thing about cold you can dress for it, if you undress for the heat you get arrested.

KUDOS DON, you are a good man!! I wish there were more like you in the world. Between my parents and my wife's we have/had 3 out of 4 in a care facility of one sort or another. Some days it was tough as my dad was forced into one due to a fall and a brain injury that made it impossible for him to live outside a facility. It was a constant fight with him as he felt there was nothing wrong with him and all he wanted was to go home. My mom chose to move to a facility which made it much easier as she wasn't "forced" into it. My mother-in-law has dementia and is for the most part happy wherever she is. The peace of mind knowing that they are being properly cared for brought great peace to our families. We toured quite a few before we found some that we were comfortable with. We did a fair bit of investigation on the internet when we thought we found a good one to see what families of residents thought of them. We saw some we thought were great but the reviews said otherwise, scary stuff. uncledj, I will send up a pray that you find an excellent facility for your dad.

I indulged in pot for a number of years in my younger days, was it fun? From what i remember. It was pretty much a daily thing, in the evening after work for years, did it affect my work? I don't think so but I wasn't overly ambitious in my career path. After slowing down over the years it got to the point of not being enjoyable so why do it? I do have a criminal record because of a dirty pipe that was found in my car, this is still something that haunts me to this day. Do I regret smoking pot? To a point, I'm sure my life would have taken a different path had I not indulged. There are a lot of people with addictive tendencies and this is just another vice to be avoided and or controlled. I was able to buy it when it was illegal so if you want it you will find it. Now that it is on it's way to be legalized in Canada I am thinking that doctors will be writing less prescriptions for it. I have jokingly mentioned to a couple of doctors that I could use it and they were willing to write a prescription, so it is already available if you find the right doctor. I'm thinking there will be a number of court challenges when people are charged with impaired driving due to pot. With alcohol it is fairly cut and dried, with pot I don't believe they have the same infallible test, it's more of a judgement thing. That is my big concern that they will be more impaired drivers on the road.

Thanks for the info but my look different than the ones you pictured. I tried penetrating oil, channel locks with a piece of rubber and all I can accomplish is to loosen/tighten the whole antenna.

I would be interested as well.

Over the years I have tried numerous times and many different ways but could never get my to fold. It should would be handy on a rainy day like today when the cover goes on at work. Help?

Back in my day......not everyone made the team. Back in my day......you didn't get a trophy just for showing up. Back in my day.....milk was delivered, in the winter the cardboard stopper was 4 inches above the glass bottle. Back in my day.....when someone broke into my dad's car detectives with finger print kits showed up.

PTL!!

Had a biker hit a deer on a freeway in town this week end, he didn't make it. Hazards are everywhere, ride safe!!

Horse power is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you drag it.

I purchased one of the adaptors with legs a few years ago, one of the best things I've purchased for the bike. It gets the bike off the ground for the winter and is fantastic for doing maintenance work.
