    Actually I plan on reshingling the entire roof in the spring. But just to play it safe I plan on parking the bike well away from the house. Maybe leave it at Big Toms I hear he washes and waxes them while they are there

    You know when you have one of those great all out beat up your sibling pillow fights and all that neat white fluffy stuff fills the air and comes slowly drifting down to cover up everything in sight with a soft white blanket. Well thats not it:rotfl: :banana: :banana: :dancefool:

    I don't think we tend to bash Harley's as much as we just tease, largely because there is a small number of Harley riders that have that I am better than you attitude because they ride a Harley, and wether we want to admit it or not, we let it get to us. In truth I find most Harley riders arre no better or worse than us and most do wave back when you wave at them. Lets not forget 1st Gen owner's And 2nd gen owners poke fun at each other all the time. I am sorry that a member felt he had to leave because of this, after all the opening page to this site doe's say all are welcome, and maybe we should prove it by not painting certian brand rider's with the same brush. Yeh I know I am guilty too but having a member quit because of it has given me cause to think. As riders we should bond together and maybe apply our efforts to issues that affect all riders. Friesman1 tell your friend, that I for one appologize if anything I posted, offended him and hope he will give us another chance.

    In my job I run into this quite often and one simple trick that works 9out 0f 10 times is to take a torx bit slightly larger than the allen hole in the bolt. touch up the end of it with a grinder to create sharpe edges then tap it into the end of the bolt. it will cut new groves as it goes down and then just turn the bolt out. I also use this trick for broke bolts drill a hole in the center and drive in a torx bit . better than any easy out I have ever owned. Works best if you can file or grind the bottom flat but if not it still works well without grinding it.

    Noty only can we now laugh about it, but I tend to go over to his house tonite and drink the rest of his beer to compansate for the stress and near heart failure he gave me Just for the record that was my sons table saw and he actually was told to keep it well away from my bike if he planned on storing it in my garage. What part did he not understand ? you say:bang head:

    No worry's here as far as legal action is concerned, he does not blame me since he took it upon his own to walk across the street to see what I was doing and then of his own accord decided to put a ladder up against the house and go up while I was in the back yard . and there won't be any insurance involment here. He has offered to make good on the damages to house and bike, but he is a good friend as well as neighbour so betwwen us we will sort it all out the old fashioned honourable way. I'll fix the bike ( I still have paint left over from when I painted the bike) besides its not that big of a scuff so I may be able to just add some clear coat and then buff it out. I have an extra section of matching eave trough to repair the damaged one Even though he offered to replace it. He has also offered to have the seat redone by some one he knows put I don't think they normally do motorcycle seat and I don't want it to mismatch the back rest and arm rests. Once again the main thing is he was not hurt and he is playing hockey right now.

    Best is just to get a new gasket and gromets for the bolts. Its not that hard to do and once your done, your done.

    AND I WASN'T EVEN RIDING IT !! I cop out of Bongobos fall foliage ride because I had a steep roof to reshingle. To get a rope over the roof I used my fishing rod and cast over the roof from the back. I then tied the line to the rope to pull it over. I am almost over the top when the large rope snags and I snap my fishing line. So, while I am in the back yard tying a new weight to the line to cast over, my neighbour decides to put the ladder up then carry the rope up over the ridge (like I said it is a steep roof) as he try's to walk up the roof he slips. From the back yard I hear a loud crash and relizing suddenly what my crazy neighbour attempted to do I run around to the front expecting to see broken bone's all over my front lawn. As I come through the gate the first thing I see is the ladder laying across my motorcycle, then the eave trough ripped off the house and lastly my neighbour on the ground getting back up on his feet. Don't ask me how it was possible but he did not have a single mark on him, nor was he hurt in any way ( Thank God for that ). My bike on the other hand has another nice scrape on my new paint job and the seat has a six inch cut across it. The main thing of course is that (1) He did not get hurt and (2) I did not have to give mouth to mouth to that sruffy old face of his. By the way its a brown seat for an 89 VR just in case there Is one floating around looking for a new home:big-grin-emoticon:

    A friend of mine works for state farm so I thought maybe he could cut me a deal but as it turns out as you said they want all your policy's before they will give you motorcycle insurance. Evan at that they wanted $1400.00/yr so 1 went to riders plus and they charged me $654.00/yr.

    I sent this link to my kids and some friends I really hope it sinks in http://d.yimg.com/kq/groups/3095586/8629942/name/SMS%20Car%20Accident.wmv Although this is a made up video, hopefully it will make people realize that it is also a reality that occurs all too often.
