  1. I've just about given up on google chrome, I'm tired of their ad content spying and harrassing ad placement. I've been using DuckDuckGo lately and am pleased with it. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  2. That's a nice road! I've been on alot worse with my 2nd gen. Don't know about Puc but I'd have no problem riding that awesome road. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  3. Got himself a brand new shiny Hovaround! He be stylin' now. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  4. Yep, that 130 does make a big difference. I don't have leveling links, I slid the forks up in the triple tree, rebuilt the forks using 15wt oil and sonic 1.2 springs. Handles way better now. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  5. Look closely at the clay pipe where you cut it, if the pipe wall is thinned from erosion keep going till you find good pipe.... I'd stick with the original layout keeping it 6" below grade and make the transition to 4" on the verticle. You may want to put a cleanout Tee somewhere in the horizontal repair run. How far away is the Tee to the main line to the sewer? Often that is where their is a major failure that sucks all the dirt down & into the sewer. Tap the concrete in that area listening for a change in pitch while tapping, if it sounds hollow you have another repair ahead of you.
  6. Putting a 4" repair section into a 6" line is asking for problems, the lip created will probably catch debris and plug it up. When they sleeve a pipe they use a backhoeto push the sleeve in, any other way will end up causing more damage. Water jetting is expensive but does a nice job of cleaning out the pipes, then they can be relined, there are several companies that can do that.
  7. Which ever policy you buy, make sure that they pay the lawyers, some of those policies only reimburse you for what you spend out of your pocket. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  8. When I did my forks 2 years ago Sonic was still sending the springs with not enough spacer, I used thick wall PVC well pipe. I didnt trust the standard thin wall PVC you find at the big box stores. Thanks @RickButler for your suggestions and guidance when I undertook my fork rebuild, I am totally happy with the results.

  9. No New Years day ride for me this year [emoji20] too much salt on the roads here. Oh well. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  10. I know where there's a mid 80's Yamaha 650 offered to me free for the taking, owner says it runs, no battery,keys or fork seals. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  11. I am running the Sonic 1.2 springs and they were a great choice. I also went to 15 weight fork oil at the same time. The ride is a little bit stiffer but not harsh and the bike handles the twisties much better now, no more feeling of understeering and tracks through the curves exactly where I want it to go.

  12. Does anyone have access to the Hollander interchange system? I have a number I'm looking to cross reference. If you can help I'll PM you the info. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  13. Sorry to hear you lost your hunting buddy .
  14. Darn you Jeff! Turn up the power!!!!... we're getting a little bit of the blow-by sprinkling down on us, your ruining a perfect riding day [emoji20] Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  15. I'm not sayin a word, don't want to Jinx us
  16. Well done on the 40 year milestone. We are celebrating the same on the 29th. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  17. My '01 was sagging and diving upon brake application, it also always wanted to track to the outside of any sharp curve. The following cured all of this. Another option is Sonic Springs. They are a straight rate spring, I installed the 1.2 rate springs, along with going to 15W fork oil, new bushings and seals. Made for a much better handling bike.
  18. He was talking about this strange American he met while riding in the north of America. He goes on to say He met a fellow that goes by the name "CowPuc", a strange sort of biker that tells TALL tales of adventure riding in north america, Puc was a lucky man to have such a lovely lady as his riding companion, and was sure she'd been kidnapped by the crazy man. he then goes on to talk about his ride and a few places he'd been.
  19. Looks just like my ride to work.every day! 🤤 Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  20. Jealousy will get ya nowhere you old hillbilly [emoji12]... No payments, thats why I bought used. No more flea bag motels either. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  21. Yes it is. Cummins 350 ISC. The coach is a 2002 Newmar Dutch Star 4097. We looked at probably 30 coaches before buying this low miles, gently used motorhome. Spent it's life stored in a climate controlled garage when not on the road. We looked at much newer ones that were not this clean. Barely any rust on the chassis or in the engine bay. The interior looks almost new. We considered going the 5th wheel route but it would have taken a much more $ to buy a truck & trailer. Plus we'd have had to buy a toy hauler to bring the bikes along, or pull a triple. The only toyhauler floor plans we liked were WAY out of our budget. Future plan is to pull an enclosed trailer with a 2 seater convertible and 1 bike. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  22. Imagine my surprise when I found that thing in the map pocket! Don't worry Tippy, I'll still give your camper some luvin too! There's time for both Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  23. +1 on having it removed. They removed all the hardware in my ankle after 6 years. Felt much better. My better half has still got the plate and screws in her ankle 20 years later and it's been sensitive to the touch for at least 10 years. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  24. I'd help but do not have the tools needed. CarbonOne always helped me with that. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
