Guess what showed up in my mail today? A check from DakotaSport for $250 (he owed me $265 since I paid $15 for shipping - but I'm not complaining). Don, apparently, you did some good. Envelope was postmarked 12/18. It will be deposited tomorrow morning. Thanks all for the notes of support and help in getting this resolved. Kris, I hope your deal gets cleared up also. And finally, Tim, if you are still checking this out, thanks for getting the check back to me. Merry Christmas to all. Time to break out the safety chrome catalogs. RR

That's it. I was close. Thanks for the research. Was it you who purchased a set of pillow tops from someone that I asked about? I thought he perhaps sold them again - but delivered them the second time. RR

Don, Thank you for your action. I hope this will provide some positive response, but I certainly don't expect any as of this point. I was the one who entered an agreement to purchase a set of pillow top seats for $250 +$15 shipping. He said he shipped them USPS but they were damaged. He was going to get them repaired, get new ones from a dealer friend, etc. I trusted and accepted his excuses. Eventually, I advised him to just return the money. Tim has been very difficult to get a hold of as the phone number in his listing does not connect and he does not return emails. He called me after I posted a note in the thread where he was offering to part out his bike. Promised to send a check. --- Nothing ---. I would really like to think there was some good excuse for this not working out. After this amount of time, and other similar poor business reports, it appears I have been had. Perhaps this will give me incentive and focus for a long trip this comming summer. Don, again, thanks for your diplomacy and help. RR

Santa is bringing me a Morgan Carbtune and a Stebel horn. Yeah Santa!! RR

Dale, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry - I was going by memory and I should have checked the member list before I put that name in the post. The previous member name was some variation on this - but was not you. I am sorry for not checking before I posted from (poor) memory. RR

Do you need it for the front to make it easier to hook up and tow? RR

Interestingly enough, it might be the same guy. I recall he was previously registered under a different screen name - MidnightRider or something like that. RR

One of my favorite gifts for Christmas was a Wok. It is black with use (after about ten or so years). It lasted longer, and was more reliable than my first wife!! RR

Kit and all, Kris and I are really sure. We will work with Don to attempt a resolution. If that does not work, then in the immortal words of the Fantastic 4 -- FLAME ON! RR

There is no really easy 'one button push' GPS. You can access all the features in the Zumo from the GPS itself. However, it is easier to program routes and locations on a computer. View it as similar to a Camcorder. You have the ability to edit your video with the camcorder, but it is a whole lot easier to edit a video on a computer. The Zumo is full featured and you will not need to upgrade (until there is a leap in technology - should be a while for that). You will not go wrong buying the best. It will just take some practice.

I have tried Chatterbox and J&M. The Chatterbox units are complete POCs (Piece of Cra*). I had a set that lasted a little under a year, took it back in for warranty and my dealer provided another one. It lasted about a year. Even under warranty, I did not want another set. I had them installed in a 3/4 helmet and a brain bucket. I purchased a J&M set and have been very pleased. The hi-fidelity of the music isn't that great, but the mic and speakers have worked flawlessly for 2 years. I have it installed in a modular full face helmet. J&M is the best I have tried. RR

Got mine yesterday (or maybe Wednesday). They ROCK!! Thank you very much Don for putting this together. Much higher quality than I expected. The gremlins don't stand a chance. RR

12" wheels. It will keep the surface speed of the tire down when being pulled at higher speeds. RR

I would think you would have more problems by putting a tarp over them with a dirt floor. It would trap the moisture under it. My thinking is the same as using a tent. You put a groundcloth under you to prevent moisture from the ground making you uncomfortable. If you are going to use a tarp, put it under the bike. Perhaps cover it with another or use a bike cover. As an alternative, I saw a motorcycle 'bubble' at a dealer recently. Don't recall the name or where it was. It was essentially a big zipped up plastic bag you put around the bike. It has a fan to keep the bag inflated. Nothing will get on your bike, including condensation. RR

If you are going to have them balanced at a repair shop, let them change them out also. While you have the rear off, lube the splines and clean the wheel. Also, check your brakes since you will be removing them also. Good luck. FYI - this is a good time to have a Larry Lift. This is a lift adapter from Carbon One which makes the bike VERY stable while in the air. Also, it is a good time to put on levelling links (DiamondR.com) if you are not going with a smaller front tire. RR

Have the customer mail you something (a stuffed toy). Take a picture of this toy sent to you sitting on the bike and send it to him. Just a thought. RR

Pop over to advriders.com. They have several discussion threads where they discuss m'cycle camping. This is a group of heavy duty adventure riders. RR

Boy, that was not what I was hoping for when I looked at a thread labelled 'Motorcycle Dolly'. How disappointing. RR

Make a visit to the local Humane Shelter. Let them know what you are looking for and you can rescue a dog of your dreams. We rescued a pure bred St. Bernard by letting the Humane Society know what we were looking for. Of course, it was neutered and didn't have papers, but he is a wonderful companion. RR

I will try to make it. Likely Saturday. Hope it's warm enough for a ride. RR -
I have the heated gloves from Warm&Safe. Work great. Before I got those, I used a set of gloves from Walmart with chemical hand warmers (like hunters use). The set consisted of mechanics gloves for liners and hunting mittens over the top. The hunting mittens have the flip top over the fingers so you get to your trigger. Place a chemical hand warmer in the flip top and fold it over your fingers. If it is really cold, put one behind and one in front of your fingers. This works great, but you will need to pull your thumb in periodically since it doesn't get any of the heat. Rode all the way from Tennessee to Wisconsin in 20 to 30 degrees last year with this setup. That trip is what prompted me to get the electric jacket liner and gloves - all from Warm&Safe. RR

Sounds like you will be shaving next Thanksgiving to avoid this duty next year. RR Merry Christmas, Santa
