  3. Happy Anniversary to CarbonOne and his lovely bride Joyce on 51 Years of wedded bliss. We wish you two many, many more! [emoji471] Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  4. My lical dealer has had a few on the floor, when I asked about a demo ride they said NO, every one they get is already sold and no Yamaha demo days are scheduled. Put me on that ride list too! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  5. I'm a yes on MD, but may have to come on the snowmobile if this $hitty weather continues!
  6. I too like the Sigs, have 2 at the moment. a P238 .380 and a P938 9mm, of the 2 the P238 seems to be the more accurate shooter. As for places to buy ammo, I usually end up buying by the case from https://www.targetsportsusa.com/t-bulkammo.aspx
  7. 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

  9. Got himself a brand new shiny Hovaround! He be stylin' now. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. 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.

  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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.

  18. 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
  19. Sorry to hear you lost your hunting buddy .
  20. 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
  21. I'm not sayin a word, don't want to Jinx us
  22. Well done on the 40 year milestone. We are celebrating the same on the 29th. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
  23. 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.
