  1. So I'm not an engineer but have been around motorsports for years. So different series of cars run different fuels. Some what we call "pump gas" Usually the rule states something like fuel from readily available stations or something like that. Some use special race gas like VP or Sunoco but if checked they could get disqualified. But a local track cant do that anyways. Our rules for Legends cars said something like this and gave an octane rating. I just went to the airport and bought "can gas" 110 low lead. Some run straight up alcohol. They run cooler engine temps and make plenty of power, and may make more than an equal "gas" engine. But they burn almost twice as much fuel for same distance of race. For our street use mixing ethanol creates problems because it traps water and does some really bad things. My suspicion why they dont change to the Iso stuff is cost to retrofit plants and maybe wont need as much corn or whatever they are making the ethanol from. Brazil has been on mixed fuel for years and it works for them and they dont have much problems. And they are not using up resources you can eat. They use the husks and other things
  2. Can it still music share? My Victory I had to add a connection to "broadcast" bluetooth music, GPS from bike. So the harness had 2 plugs for a OEM BT transmitter @ like $100 a piece when you could find them. The VIctory is the only bike that uses this particular module. So once I read my SMH 10 would share the same music signal I only got on broadcast module.
  3. Yea biggest problem with an over amount is the indigestion from doritos
  4. No info on your exact subject but a small comment. My son "could" probably be one of those that would benefit from its medical use and can qualify for a card here in Fla. But with his business he would like to purchase a firearm and obtain a conceal permit. Both of which if he has a medical card he can not do once he gets the card. He could get the firearma nd permit then get the card. But he is worried they could revoke it once he gets the card.
  5. How bad would it be shipping wise if you picked up one of the pelican type case from harbor freight?
  6. Year around job here in Fla
  7. Still trying to figure out which, what how this lets me find my way around. But I understand its kind of like trying to make anything run on windows 98. One of my Victory sites I frequent had to change over a year or so back. I'm still tryin to figure it out.
  8. I did the front forks, and it helped me out a ton. The Barrons kit you need some kind of longer brake arm or something too. It probably is all included in the kit. But I would say try the free option first.
  9. When I lived in Oklahoma, they use to "resurface" some county and secondary roads by what they called "tar and chip". OMG no warning you run up on it and they had poured a coat of hot tar then chips of stone on top about 2" thick. Cars would drive over and eventually you had a somewhat better surface. But hit that on a bike and you were in a world of mess. Even a few days later you would have trenches where wheel ran and rock built up in center of lane. When we ride up in the mountains all those corners I have to keep eyes peeled from folks cutting corner and kicking up gravel and dirt.
  10. Well Puc, I think the monster thing was after the year I was up there. I think the demonstration team was the Bud Lite folks. They were pretty impressive in the airplanes they had. I have seen the Thunderbirds and Blue Angles over the years and I was impressed with those little aircraft and precision.
  11. I did an air show there back in the 80's with my C-141b. It aint no small jet for sure. We landed there in Muskegon and were one of the first as we were large. Then some smaller jets and my assistant crew chief and I helped tow and park a bunch of aircraft A-10 OV-10 and I think a C-130 showed up. Lots of civilian aircraft that were neat too. I think it was 86. WE hung out a bunch after hours at a place called Sandy's homestead inn. They actually met us at the air show the day we got there and was like our "host" for the afternoon.
  12. Long mileage= Michelin Commander 2 Cost effective= shinko I got better than 15k out the Michelin and around 5200 out of the shinko. If memory serves rite. Did not care for the Dunlap, it got notchy edges and sounded funny and the wet grip (when you could find it) was not good for me.
  13. I had to send an SOS to MA1mech to make sure it wasnt me messin supthin up.
  14. Looks good. I have rode a couple on test ride days when they bring the truck. But I am not a big fan of the front fender and the leather trimmed ones. But I could probably learn to live with it. LOL I really like the handling of my Victory Cross Tour vs the RSV but the ride aint quite the same.

    I hope so. I'm ridin a Victory and it looks like we could make this. Depending on when school starts back for me. This year I didnt have to be back until the 17th.
  16. The HD tour mufflers are a good compromise. And budget friendly if you swing by your local HD dealer.

    Ear Bud, IEM

    I have made a couple runs around here with them, no say hour rides yet. But so far I think they work well. Its not complete silence like some imagine. If its a Prius yea you dont hear it, but the ear plugs them self reduce noise by 26db if I read this stuff right. Any how I bought another batch of the mold stuff as a stand by in case I think I need to remold. I imagine the more $$ you spend on the IEM the better quality sound. I am happy so far with the ones I got for the money. My radio SUCKS, heck even the station that is a few blocks from the house is bad most days. I pod is great.
  18. NAPA oil filters are made by Wix, so they are one of the best on the block.
  19. When I read this today I was like "WTF??" Then common sense took over, California will be broken off into the ocean or burnt to a crisp by then. So I did not read the article. Does it say they will not licence gas burning vehicles after that? Just go to Nevada and buy a car.
  20. Post a pic and some of us may be able to identify it for you.
  21. I would agree. For the most part my stuff is delivered without issue. Boarder crossing has always been slow.
  22. Britches have kept me dry in almost all rainstorms. The jacket when I have got wet is usually from around the neck area.
  23. So a fellow member was nice enough to order one of my relays. He is one of our fellows north of the boarder. So this happens 3 1/2 months ago. Today he informs me it finally arrived. Geez I sure want to trust my mail in ballot to this system. I did find out it made it to the Canadian side about the 15th of this month. So subtract what 2 weeks maybe, so the rest of the time getting from Fla to wherever to cross. Thanks to Darryl Peterson for being understanding with this mess.
  24. I think this is the suit I got.
  25. I tried to find the rain pants I bought for us a couple years back. But no dice. Any who they have a velcro flap and a zipper all the way up the legs. I thought they wer like Nelson Rigg but didnt see them. I bought yellow, jackets are mainly yellow with some black and the britches are black with a wide yellow stripe up side. Not into black or blah rain gear. Its a low light situation and I want to be seen if possible. Yes the rain here in Fla is hit and miss and your 100% rite. Unless it is storming bad its a toss of the coin to gear up.
