  1. Thanks buddy
  2. Dang... I wish Harbor Freight was in Canada ... anyone know what's involved to import one of these trailers? I've searched all over and nobody "up here" sells anything similar or even just the proper sized frame & wheels that a guy could bolt a car-top carrier to (which is essentially what that Harbor Freight trailer is)
  3. WOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOOOO!!! :thumbsup2: You might want to consider adding a bit of MotorKote to your oil just for that added "wear-in" of the gearset.
  4. It would be interesting to find out what Yamaha does with the old fairing shell.... too bad a guy couldn't keep it huh? Maybe find out when the warranty rep comes around and then go check their garbage bin that evening or the next day...
  5. I'd think Lutz (Squeeze) would be more than happy to "bang back" a few pints on your behalf ... now whether or not he'd be in any shape to ship the bottles is another question.... :rotf:
  6. Both Norton and McAfee AV programs are hacker targets ... they've figgured out ways to disable them and then their virus apps can do their thing. The problem then becomes a major PITA to rectify. I've had more than one experience dealing with this on past client computer systems. Because of that, I will no longer use either program. Strangely enuf tho, we run Norton (Symantec Corporate Edition) AV on the environment here at work and it continues to do it's job without any problem. It is here only because we have a long-term corporate subscription which was in place before I took over the role of Network Admin. Having said that, we do have a very good firewall that includes Anti-spyware | Malware | Gateway AV | and Content Filtering so a lot of stuff doesn't even make it to the inside for Norton to deal with it. Even with all of that tho, we've had 3 viruses get through by users email but Norton did catch one of them and the other two didn't cause a lot of problem and was relatively easy to clean. Once our subscription runs out, I will be removing Norton and installing something different ... haven't totally decided which yet... possibly Kasperski.
  7. Been using AVG for years ... always worked fine for me. Switched to Avast about 6 month's ago just to "test-drive" it coz several folks here gave it good ratings .... seems to be doing fine. I also run Spybot S&D
  8. I would use silicone spray.
  9. I haven't encountered this but if it were me, I'd go the JB Weld route. I'd guess it's a "press-fit" anyway so the JB Weld would just ensure it stayed in there.
  10. We don't have Harbour Freight in this part of the world.
  11. Unfortunately, needs some "cosmetic" work ... maybe more? http://preview.autotrader.ca/used_cars_Motorcycle_details/Vernon_British%2bColumbia_2008_VICTORY_VISION%2bPREMIUM_1007470.html?srcID=5&frnID=7277754&ms=motorcycles_atvs&cofid=CT2005113122235580&prv=British+Columbia&r=9
  12. With that "notion", the stealers must love you....
  13. It's the same concept as "measure twice, cut once"
  14. The majority of the bike shops around here are closed Sunday & Monday with the exception of the Harley dealers which are open 7 days a week.
  15. Having your own carb balancer, regardless of what it cost (even up to $200) is well worth the investment IMHO if you plan on sticking with a multi-carb scoot for any length of time. I bought mine last winter as a Christmas gift to myself (LOL) ... can't believe I have gone so long without one...shoulda bought it many years ago.

    Ugly

    Just go hang out at the West Edmonton mall in the water park ... you'll never know it's MISERABLE outside...
  17. that would double the cost .... too expensive!!!
  18. FYI ... the website listed in that document (http://www.powerchutes.com/prairieskyhook.htm) is not valid (HTTP 404 error)
  19. Check the small print on the Hot Water Heater .... "if you want this product to last 3 times as long...become a barber"

    Car mirrors

    Interesting name for what he's doing "Eytalis" ... lol Not necessarilly something that a person can do on car mirrors but on every truck or van that I've owned I always put those small convex mirrors on. Makes a world of difference once you get the hang of using them.
  21. Just came across this site ... fairly new. http://canadiancruisercustomizing.com/
  22. yup ... kinda looks like the trailer is taller than what I've seen most. Wonder how that would pull? Location is about 3 hr drive so viewing it may be a problem.
  23. Check out the trailer in the following ad ... think it's worth $500?? http://vancouver.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAdLargeImage?AdId=187066242&back=-7&ImageIndex=5
  24. heh... I've had a few cold showers myself lately and there's nothing wrong with my hot water heater...
  25. Bumbs (as in butt) or bumPs ???
