since my bike is down waiting on a fuse box from one of our great persons here. i thought hey i will take diannes bike out. its been on a battery tender for about a month or so. all systems looked good to go. i took off the tender. turned the key on hit the starter click that was it. head light dim. nothing nada no go. neighbor gave me a push bump start nothing nada no go. this battery came with the bike when she bought it PO said its brand new just bought it a week before she purchased the bike? hmm me thinks some one lied. its a yusa thats what i think it is. im about to pull it. take it to napa for a test... this sucks. nice out and feeling good and no vroom vroomm..

ok is it earl who makes the fuse box thats way better then this old piece of crap? i noticed my headlight going off and on tonight.. just got home went to check the fuse. and the darn thing broke off one of them tabs. also some of the others are going to go soon. it is 26 years old something has to give. but in my honest opion. it started out as a piece of junk. im not going to buy another one off fleabay. if someone invented a better one.. so if its here please let me know.. i dont want to cut and splice wires to make the headlight work. i guess i could hook a an inline fuse if i knew what type?

ok im in a bind and cash is low.. my rear tire has been leaking off and on. bought new and only around 900 miles on the rear. well i just got tired of it. i went to where i purchased them. theses are e3 on the bike now. well the shop manager said hey i will sell you these 404,s for half price.. a gentleman placed an order for them put a down payment and never showed up. been sitting here for 2 months, buy both of them for $145. plus tax. and he will throw in the mounting. well i did and some how the bike just dont feel right? i dont care for the thread pattern. but like i said i was in a bind. did i do ok. till next spring when i can do better. and how long will these last they seem kind of soft to me? unless he didnt put the right amount of air in them??

ok got to test a goldwing trike. did not seem to like it.. its a conversion setup. voyager something??? well the dealer said it takes getting use to. you got that right. i started out made a left turn and the damn bike plowed?? reminds me of the old snowmobiles turn but keep going straight? well i made it out on the main rode it was fun. kept wanting to put my feet down at stop signs though. my height and stuff the bike fit kind of nice.. plenty of power. smooth shiffting. and price not bad. i was just out looking. cant afford it.. just pulled in with the old venture to rest and look around. got an offer of $1200 on the venture for a trade. but the wing was a little over 11k.. 2007 with 44k on it i thought that was high? but dont know what the kit cost to make it a trike.. dealer was sure trying to push it on anyone who seemed interested.. then i asked him how much for my bike outright? he said they dont buy that old of a bike.. WTF he wanted it if i traded it though? someday i will maybe go for a trike. but i think i will look here first... or get a good kit for a first gen.. well thats my day for today...

sounds like a great time.. some of the best rides are when you realy have no real place to go. you just get out there and go..... i miss the younger days when i had a honda 750. me and a friend just loaded up our bikes took off and didnt come back for 5 weeks.. went from MN to AZ to texas. and back.. of course it was nice he was my employer and i didnt have to worry about my job....

get well i feel your pain. its in the 60,s here right now. with possible rain all afternoon. thought i might sneak in a little ride to a friends house for some BBQ. nope no way. i got one end over a bucket and sometimes the other over the toliet.. but my nurse is way to far away to take care of me. chicken soup. crackers and bottled water is my lunch for today.. i did watch 3 little ones yesterday... one was a little sick. and wanted to hang on to me most of the day. bet her parting gift was to give me what she had ??????

well found out the local high school.. here as a class in auto body shop and repair. talked to MR Hanson there showed him the tank after pulling it off and draining it.. he said shop cost .. and paint cost will be around $22 bucks.. he also gave me a tip on doing a dent that need no paint repair.. besides dry ice. he said you know them air spray cans you use to clean your computers? well turn them up side down spray the whole can on the dent. it will freeze the dent then use a hairdryer heat around the dent and you will hear a pop. dent will pop back out. as long as its not deep and has a crushed can look..
