Pink's performance was great, she sounds as good in a live performance as on the polished up studio recordings. I think that Lorde has a great voice that is as good live as the recordings. So many of the live performances, Willie and Kris' performance being one of them, did not sound anything like what comes out of the studio.

Am on my 4th jeep now, 2-95's, 04 and now a 13, Jeeps have been good for me. One 95 and o4 were the 4.0. I never have had any complaints on the engines in any of them, still have both 95's, kids are driving them, 250k on the 6 and 190k on the V8; bought both with around 140k on them. The 4.0 is a solid engine. The 04 was traded off becuase of computer issues, two engine computers in less than 12 months, and even though the second computer was still under warranty, cost $500 for programming and installation. Wife said she did not trust it any longer, so it got traded. You can expect 18-20 mpg; the 13 does just over 26. I do think the quality went down between the 95 model and the 04. The 95's ride much better than the 04 did. I would not be scared of the miles, it should be good for many more. On my 04, I owned it for 60k, only put brakes in it once.

Had the Scala Teamset last year, liked them quite well for riding two up, but no range for riding on seperate bikes. Just got to try out our new set of Sena SMH10 last weekend, very impressed, better sound from the speakers and the range was good, Wife was about 1/2 mile ahead and had great reception. Easier to use than the Scala set. Have yet to try out the other bluetooth features.

Have had mine for about 8 months now, won't sleep without it. No longer fall asleep watching tv, at the movies or sitting in meetings. Should have had one at least 10 years ago, just was not willing to pay for the sleep study until my daughters FIL passed away at age 50 and she made me promise to go in. Sleep better, don't snore anymore and feel better after 5 hours of sleep than I used to after 9. Need a Vpap machine, kind of expensive ($6,000), but by the time I got through the regular physical and two sleep studies, deductable was more than covered.

I might need a set

I am looking for either a right or left saddle bag cover, any color, that fits the 86-93 saddlebags. Does not need to be in great shape, I will be cutting it up as an experimental modification to add extra storage to the bag and I do not want to mess up my good cover without knowing how it is going to turn out. PM me with if you have something and what you want for it, Thanks.

If anyone wants one of the Harbor Freight $299 coupons, PM me with your address and I will mail you one, I currently have 4 magazines with them in.

yes, I will take one.

I would be interested in one.

Last summer, my wife also decided that she wanted to learn how to ride. After taking the safety course and getting her license, we went bike shopping. They used Suzuki 250's for the class and she definately thought that it was too small of a bike. We looked at 10 - 15 different bikes from 500 - 800 cc. When we were looking, we did not put a lot of consideration into the size of the bike, only wanting to make sure that it was what she felt comfortable on. She sat on every bike that she thought she might like with either myself or the salesman holding it upright so that she was able to sit in the normal riding position. It came down to a couple of Honda 750's, a Shadow and a I think it was a Spirit, Yamaha 650 and a Suzuki C50T. I liked the Yamaha 650, but in the end she chose a Suzuki c50t. Even though it was the largest of the bikes we looked at; for her, she said it felt the most comfortable, stable and she could put both feet on the ground. It does ride nice, but not like a Venture.

Loctite -A little more information regarding its use, as mentioned above there is red and blue, with the blue being the more permanent hold than the red. Talk to the person at the auto parts store to get the formulation that will work the best for the application you are doing. If you assemble something with loctite and in the future find that you need to take it apart again, a small amount of heat on the nut or the head of the bolt (depends if the nut is accessable or if the bolt is threaded into a part that is not heatable) will loosen the loctite for easier removal. Unless you are doing a specific project that calls for green loctite, do not use it. It requires a large amount of heat for removal.

Ordered a couple Battery Tender Jr from Jafrum.com, on sale today for $17.99. $8.95 shipping on orders under $100. Did a little Christmas shopping get the free shipping. Read good reviews here about the company, some mixed reviews on other sites, will see if I get what I ordered.

Not that bad of a job, did both of mine in an evening. I did not remove any of the fairing when I did mine. Kind of a tight fit for your hands to remove and install the air connections, but it can be done. You need to make a tool to hold the inside portion of the fork in order to remove the bolt from the bottom end. The whole procedure is covered quite well if you do a search here on replacing the fork seals.

Have had Directv for close to 20 years, only way I could get more than the three networks where I live, even though I can see the area UHF antenae from my rooftop. Customer service is fair at best, have only needed them a couple of times since I put the system in, and when I did, I had to threaten to go to Dish to get a response from them. Service techs were good when they finally got out. My inlaws have Dish and have had a lot of problems with billing from them and sounds like they get quite the run around with Dish customer service. For either company, customer service is not very high on their priority list. What I found worked the best was to bypass as much of the lower level customer service reps and get to a supervisors supervisor as quickly as possible Look at the programming packages and see which one fits what you want and go with that one.
