saddlebum

As you know Dave I we just got back from the Maritimes, Primarly Nova Scotia. We had good weather so I hope you do as well. bring lots of bug spray the black flies were nasty. I hope you enjoy a wonderful safe trip and though I just got back I am still envious and wish I was going again because I had to cage it would love to bike it. Maybe next year.

I initially recognized the schematics themselves from when Dingy 1st posted them and that's when I looked closer and saw his name on them.

Some body forgot to mention the boots on her feet. They look kinda heavy ......Just Say'n:confused24:

Like anything else there is always one apple that risks tainting the barrel but I agree most do their job and well.

Very Nice Site. Look at the top left corners of the electrical diagrams. Note the name, they are the same drawings done up by our very own Dingy, some years back.

My entire life, I have loved riding horses and motorcycles. So you could say I loved spending time in the saddle one way or the other. Also like the drifters in the old cowboy movies (still my favorite shows), I have hard time sitting still, always needing to be on the move or doing something. When email 1st started and we used nicknames instead of our real names, for so called security reasons, I chose the nickname "Saddlebum". After a while some of my friends started calling me Saddlebum and so it stuck. It just seemed Natural to choose it as a site name especially since now that I have made so many friends on this site, I spend more time than ever in the saddle, riding to visit or meet those friends and even less time at home.

Now I feel discriminated against. When they use acronyms like LGBTQ instead of speaking plain English they are saying I am an uneducated Bum,

Thats How its supposed to work ....After that the wife just say's "from now on don't do the Laundry just let me do it".

....Also I was drilling a bar of tool steel and ran out of Kool Tool. Grabbing a can of WD 40 thinking it was beter than nothing I was amazed to discover it actually worked better than the Kool Tool (not having to stop and sharpen the drill bit near as often). I have been using it for cutting oil ever since, when ever drilling steel. I also spray my Hack saw blades whether a hand hacksaw or a reciprocating saw with WD40 when cutting steel. Amazing how it saves the teeth on your blades and speeds up cutting.

What are you going to do when the stands and dolly leg sink into the ground, Just say'n

I do not know exactly what the correct Ball drop is , but I am pretty sure .......If you secure the Ball properly .......You shouldn't have to worry about dropping it On a more serious note I tend to prefer that the trailer sits just a bit higher at the rear when loaded but no less than level. i found from past experience, that with the front higher than the rear air flow under the trailer would have a tendency to cause the trailer to float were a higher back end would act like a spoiler and help hold the trailer down and more stable at highway speed (but not to much slope)

If they allow you to buy the bike back keep two things in mind. 1 make sure it does not get branded. This usually pretty much means you cannot put the bike back on the road and 2 remember they original told me $1300.00 to buy mine back a month later it dropped to $220.00.

Sure glad you were not hurt Evan. I am assuming you were by your self which is also probably a good thing. Not sure what your damages are but I have a 88 parts bike if you do decide to fix her up. post some pics of the bike nothing in the way of body parts but frame and front end parts may be of some use. If you decide to buy it back from the insurance company and fix it that is.

Sounds like everyone had a good time which is always good to hear. Once again I had to miss out since my Daughter once again needed me to come to the rescue. Would have loved to see everyone. A little surprised however that even with out me there was still BS going on. Wait ........That means I must not be the BS'r and since Karl was the only mouthketeer there that must be .....Yes of course he is the one . Also would have loved to see how Yammer used his cage to substitute for the tent poles he likes to leave home . Last, although I was unable to attend I still would like to thank Don and Eileen for al their efforts.

My first guess would be either a bulge.or a shifted and/or brken belt in tire. Put the bike on a lift and slide something to use as a reference point close to but not touching the tire. Next turn the tire slowly by hand and watch for any irregularities in the space between the tire and your reference point.

The specs say 2.86 amps. That's nothing. My PIAA led Fog lights only use a 2 amp fuse and I can leave them on for hours without running the bike and they barely discharge the battery. They only require 18 gauge wire as well. http://www.piaa.com/store/p/188-LP530-3-5-LED-Fog-Light-Kit-SAE-Compliant.aspx They also come in a driving light version http://www.piaa.com/store/p/187-LP530-3-5-LED-Driving-Light-Kit.aspx and they are both extremely bright.

Which seat are you trying to check out .......The one on the bike or the one in the reflection .....maybe Don can turn around for you ....Would that help

You know Don :backinmyday:if you don't want to mow the lawn just say so , You don't need to beat around the bush you know cause most of us here are men and we understand. .......Oh Oh

Thats what Ben wants alright. Just let me know when it gets there. Hopefully Alan did not ship it before you corrected my blunder on the address thing

Possibly. Have not heard back from @wrnchjox yet.

PM sent. Just happen to mention to Wizard765 on Sat after a days ride with Him and some others at Marcarls M&G how I need to get me a backrest.

Unfortunately I will not be going again this year as I am once again on a rescue mission to Nova Scotia to replace the siding on my Daughters house which is blowing loose because whoever installed it had no idea what they were doing . The previous owners tried remedying it by randomly running screws everywhere . So once again I am making a road trip loaded with tools to set things right . In the mean time I hope you all have a safe trip and hopefully I will be able to make next years

Aw shucks you guys went and got me all flustered .... But just to be clear I didn't exactly do it for free as I was given food for my tummy and drink to wet my whistle. P/S Dogman your welcome.

Green with envy there buddy. You have a safe trip.
