  1. Politics and Religion, neither should be discussed here, those two topics have a way of killing an otherwise friendly conversation. Kinda like talking about male superiority with your wife if you know what I mean.
  2. I'm back on the brownie for the week, ride to work ,ride anywhere after work, I have spring fever bad!!
  3. The meds they put you on for gout have side effets that are not good and take months to work if they ever do, try 1 teaspoon of applecider vinegar twice a day "you can mix it in a little water if you want to" I don't but thats just me, you should see a marked improvement in a week , not only does the vinegar take out the gout it also helps with the blood pressure and other things in your body. sometimes old remedies are the way to go, new fangled medicine just won't admit it. Apple Cider Vinegar is a wonderful old-timers home remedy, cures more ailments than any other folk remedy. Try 2 tbsp of organic apple cider vinegar mixed with 2 tablespoons of organic honey (2 times daily). within a few hours the pain of gout will start to subside.

    Holy crap!

    I got a ride in today, took off work at lunchtime, came home got on the Brownie and went to town for lunch with the wife. Temps were around 60 this afternoon a little windy but a great ride, I filled the tank and put in a dose of sea foam, next ride is this weekend, a few of us are going to Cruces for a little fun.
  5. I didn't mean to make you cry I guess I shouldn't tell you that it was 72 degree's yesterday, I put 250 miles on the bike, today it's a little cooler at 63 degree's and I just got back from town ,a few of us got together for lunch at the local drive in, ate outside flirted with the girls on the rollerskates that bring the orders, you know just the normal everyday stuff you can do when you're riding , add another 45 miles for the weekend riding. 295 miles.
  6. The sigline is Scottish, and it represents a particular clan, I'm always looking for Brothers of the same clan, if they see it they will know it.
  7. All I can say is OK, kinda short memories in here, are you guys all older than me?
  8. I took my bike for the first ride of the season saturday, sunny and warm. Any way, I just wanted to say hello and I'm looking forward to another summer of riding the Brownie!
  9. I just thought I would say hello and let you know your wunderland link doesn't work, I have a few photo's posted there as well.
  10. Almost every state and jurisdiction have predator posting laws, which allows the police or other concerned entity to inform the neighborhood of this mans presence, a person cannot harass a registered offender but in many cases a posting for a three or four block area around his residence is legal, fliers with a photo, conviction dob, and address is the appropriate form, contact your local PD or Sheriff "the Sheriffs Dept" was responsible when I was a deputy, many times a posting such as this will move them on, and it will be a move they decided to do all on their own.
  11. The actuators are called transmitters " its a technical sounding word that just means the oil is changed from one port to another mechanically" rather than electrically , they can be found in a very small package. most of the pumps that I use are powered by electric motors, I do have a few that are driven from chains but those originate with an electric motor that drives another system the power for the pump is just transferred from a different drive source.
  12. I can do some photo's as visual aides for component size. hydraulics require a pressure relief valve which is the main reason for the reservoir, once the system is full its full but able to compensate for excess pressure on one side and a loss on the other the oil has to have some place to be displaced to. I may have exaggerated the reservoir size but your side car may require more than one cylinder per side to stabilise the lean for the whole length. otherwise you have a closed system and more of a shock absorber which is not a responsive system but is more of a passive system if one shock becomes weak then the whole balance is thrown out and a constant lean of the car to one side or the other toward the weaker component is the result. let me know if you want to go ahead with a plan for the system even if it's put on hold for a while. Good planning is a good idea.
  13. air is faster, the components are the same size for hydraulics, the main difference is durability and strength, hydraulics are much stronger and way more durable.
  14. Actually it would be a very sophisticated system, even though the parts are available for such a system the expense would be huge. simple limit switches can used to actuate the small rams that would be required, in hydraulics small is very expensive in comparison to some of the larger components. I deal with hydraulics everyday, only on an industrial scale, but all of the parts are available to do what would be considered a miniature system. 1-12 volt pump it probably would not need to generate more than 25 psi to do what you want , 2-12 volt limit switches and 2 small cylinders a small storage tank, maybe a gallon in size. positioning the switches will be the fun part the rest is simple fabrication. cylinder attach points, Number 4 hose and a few fittings it can all fit in an area of about 1 cubic foot of space. cost some where around $1500.00 would be my experienced guess , I can look up the stuff for you if you want I can also get costs if you want to give it a shot.
