    Well If you are using a gallon a year @ 52 a gallon you must be using this stuff anything that looks like it takes gas. this is a product that is awesome and I use is a couple times a year about 4 oz to a tank on the RSTD so 1 can last me a season for all my gos operated equipment. Not worth it to me to have more flammables than I need sitting around. Why reinevent the wheel? Of course it is Yammer Dan that should say enough!

    Everytime you are stuck at the light call the local police department to send a car to activate it. If they say just go through it get a name and badge number!

    Electrical connections Turn Signal Conversion is a good Start as well as mounting the 15" slimline under the trunk.( I have a good resource for these)

    Rick, Hopefully you and I will meet soon I can give you some ideas on the rear lighting. Additionally I change both my final drive and engine oil every 3-4000.

    Dave, Do you have a local Harbor Frieght Store? or one nearby? Maybe you could take it directly to the store. This trailer is identical to a piggy backer, and the good folks over at Piggy backer are ticked. When they first came out a HF people trying to buy accessories from Piggybacker, like the cooler rack etc. Now I understand that you have to have a serial from a piggybacker to purchase accessories from them. To me if you are not making money on the trailer make money on the accessories. Anyway Best of Luck I have read a lot of success stories with the HF trailer on different forums.

    Here is one as cheap as the trailer was, and as cheap as the tires are take a couple extra's with you and throw them away. LoL One of the guys i used to ride with built a trailer on a harbor freight frame and had the same thing happen. He ended up having to adjust the toe in and the axle just slightly. Good Luck!

    To Many the ride this will be one of those nice Trailer P(*&(*& moments. But there are many of us that just have to think about a lot of things. So how do you tie in vacation, Biking, family and make everyone happy? Well for our Family I think I have found the answer and we are all very excited. This weekend we purchased a toy hauler made by forest river called and ez 16 it is large enough to haul my tour deluxe and the wife's 1100 classic along with all of the supplies we will need for a long weekend or week long vacation. Now when you empty this thing it turns into a very nice camping trailer. with Air, heat, Tv with dvd, stereo system with outside speakers. basic kitchenetter with 2 burner stove and seek, fridge, It has a porta potty. so you remove bikes, pull the chalks, lay a custom fit carpet down and use air mattresses or cots. http://www.nwcampersrv.com/minnesotarvsales/Forest-River-RV/Take-It-EZ/Toy-Hauler-Travel-Trailers.aspx#features Pretty slick set up and it does not break the bank. Of course the way this is set up the possibilities are endless.

    Just a little advice, but some guys are not so receptive to thier gals going on a 400 mile ride with another guy. You should cordially walk away from this one until she is not with someone. If this guy is brazen enough to call your phone, then he may be the jealous type that is no good. It is not even worth the risk and if she is a good friend she would understand that. nothing good comes out of this. You can probably ask some of the police officers on the site here how this one typically pans out.

    WTF

    Solodadof2 replied to Black Owl's topic in Watering Hole

    I believe it does have something to do with don't ask don't tell. Don't think much about it as my opinion is someone who is gay has just as much right to fight and Die for what they believe in as anyone else. I saw an article on a Vietnam vet that was highly decorated that got put out of the military when it was discovered his sexual orientation. I need to find that info again, but no one complained when he hauled thier wounded butts out of the bush(no pun intended).

    Here is what I am saying maybe when you wave at a harley rider and they do not wave back it is not because they think they are better than you. Maybe it is because they do not want to wave at a hypocrit. Who cares what anyone rides sure I think we all reserve the right to brag on the bike we have, I think we all reserve the right to our opinions, and I think we all reserve the right to harass one another and get into a good debate. ' But at the end of the Day like my Friend Bob always tells me" it is all about the ride" Ride Safe, Ride Long, and Ride on! P.S. For 11 years Yamaha has done nothing to their tourbike to improve it, yet they cost as much as a goldwing 1800 fuel injected, or a kawasaki Voyager 1700 vtwin fuel injected, or a Harley Ultra classic with new frame also a fuel injected bike. Non of which have that top heavy feeling, I can say one of the star chapters I rode with 5 out of 7 ventures had scratches on the fairings from where they had went over.

    What is ignorant my friend is to come on here expecting the world to feel sorry for you and expecting that others should pay for your mistakes. The fact is you would not have gotten injured had you followed good common sense, said no that is not safe, used the proper lifting methods, got help, wore the proper protective equipment, asked for help, or used the right tool. If you had communicated better and evaluated the risk before you took action. Now if your restrictions or limitations say that you should not bend, twist, climb ,turn, or lift, carry or hold a certain wieght then you should not be riding a motorcycle. That is just enough for your company to fight your claim and get it thrown out. By the way many companies hire private investigators to take pictures of you while you are doing things you should not be based on you restrictions and claims. So do not be suprised when you walk into court for you final hearing and see pictures of yourself doing activities that you should not have been doing. Now for those of you talking about taking all of the pain medication what in the love of god are you doing, riding a motorcycle or driving for that matter. that just further proves you inability to make good decisions based on risk to you and others. Quite often if you have a legitimate injury, but do not follow the restrictions placed upon you per batum then you will risk losing your case and employment. For those of you that have a legitimate case be patiant, follow your restricitions, be constantly aware of what you are doing as to now cause question or doubt about your condition. Sometimes Because of the cheaters a system that used to be designed for us is now skeptical. For those of you abusing the system shut the &*()) up and get back to work! Stop Screwing the rest of us! By the way I was in the trades for 17 years before I became a safety professional, before that I was an honorably Discharged from the US States Army. So you are not talkign to someone that has not been there done that!

    I have got to play the devil's advocate a little further, 1 guy says I was pushing a bus, another guy says he rode his bike to work and hit a deer coming home so work is responsible, so if you go to a venture rider function and hit a deer is the Venture rider organization responsible( get that guy a ride waiver and some deer whistles), another guys says he was disabled when he took the job, did you stop your vet disability while you were working or did you continue to double dip while working full time, as our brothers and sister who could not work lived on the streets and in Shelters? Another Guy is wondering why his benefits are being denied but admits he has not seen the WC Doctor. You do have the right to see your own physician, but you must see the company/wc physician in order to be W/C eligible. To top this all off all are complaining of back, neck, and knee injuries while posting on a motorcycle website. And you guys wonder why you are having a difficult time. Who gets shafted well lets see your family because they no longer have the dad or husband they used to have because of YOUR mistake, Your coworkers that are now forced to work overtime to cover for you because of YOUR mistake, Your employer who has to pay ungodly workman's comp benefits because of YOUR mistake which results in deeper cuts and layoffs during bad economic times. And you because of YOUR mistake.

    I am the guy you will love to hate, Workman's comp was designed to assist employees that were injured on the job, Did not matter whether they were using the wrong tool, did not matter whether the stepped in the same oil they spilled or walked by a dozens times, did not matter whether they Violated every safety rule in the book, did not matter whether they wore the proper protective equipment. What did matter is that the injury got reported at the time of the incident. If you report it while you are at work and you are sent for medical care it is awful hard for someone to deny it was related to work. If you do not report your injury while you are at work when it happens then the burden of proof is on you. meaning that the minute you get off the property there is now a window that the injury did not happen at work. Now a little secret 6 somewhere around 6 months after you have been released to go back to work full time unrestricted some 3rd party worker comp company should call you, if not then call your employer and ask for a final payout. they will give you a number turn it down, they will call a few days maybe a week later turn it down, they will call you eventually with a final number. Now is when you go to an attorney in illinois the attorney will only get a percentage of what they negotiate for you. Make sure you have the final offer letter. Out of 127 incident investigations never found a pice of equipment that jumped of it's anchor bolts and attacked an employee. Unfortunately the greedy, the selfish, and the stupid have ruined workers comp for the honest, loyal and hardworking that 99% of the time do it by the book and that one time they make a mistake. So that buddy you saw pull his back out on bowling night that limped into work and called foul about 1/2 after the shift started blame him for your suffering.
