  1. That's about as debatable as asking which brand of oil to use ... I've ran iridium and really don't see any significant benefit. That said, I've never put 100,000 miles on a single set of plugs either so maybe in the long run they might be better.
  2. Thanks M8t ... I ordered one from Amazon yesterday albeit a book.
  3. Heck, I'm in Canada and it's too far for me too LOL In fact, every place listed is too far.
  4. UPDATE, I gave up looking at Wings and bought an '05 Roadie .... see my other thread.
  5. ya, it was pretty bad down here but we didn't have any trees or anything blown down near our place. About the only thing the wind did was blow my garbage can over. Power had been out though but was back on when we got home ... still no internet or TV though. Enroute thru Surrey from the freeway though we saw a lot of leaves and branches all over the place and several downed trees. Traffic lights weren't working so that was causing a bit of delay.
  6. Thanks.. we made it to Penticton and took in some of the Iron Man. Left around noon and as we branched off 97 towards Keremeous, I remembered I was gonna call you ... dang!! Next time my friend.
  7. Also, if anyone has an accessories, etc for it that they want to sell (or give away ) ... let me know.
  8. As per a couple other threads I'd indicated we might be buying this '89 Wing. Turned out to be less of a bike that was made out to be so we passed on it. Stopped at a couple dealers on the way home and picked up a 2005 Road Star Midnight. Ya... we're now owners of a Roady! Pretty much all stock except has Mustang seat. We spent a bit more than I was prepared to spend but, the "Devil" made me do it. (Nina aka the Devil ) pics to follow once I get home. Any other Roady or ex-Roady owners out there have a link to a shop manual, I'd be forever in your debt ....
  9. Checked the Wing out ... wasn't near as good as it was advertised to be... owner still has it.
  10. sure ... when you get your 2016 model I'll trade ya straight across
  11. Either you had 8 ladies that had no bra or only one that would take it off ... (seeing as I could only count 9 panties) ... and what kinda woman would remove their panties but not their bra anyhoo ...???
  12. WHAT????? How the h3LL can they sell a road? That's ridiculous!! ooops, we don't want to hijack by getting off track here but if that's true, it just became one of my pet peeves.
  13. Barring any unforseen issues, we'll be bringing this baby home this weekend.
  14. As we are selling the Victory to buy a 5th wheel camper, we don't want to be totally without a bike so, if all goes well this weekend we'll have this in the carport ....
  15. That leaves me out coz I only pick my nose while moving ....
  16. Looks to me like they are "clipped" in on top and bottom ...
  17. Generally I don't eat pie ... even when I do, someone tries to steal it and eat it
  18. dang ... and here I thought it was because they didn't want the parts shook off all over the country....
  19. Dear Benefits Office Manager, My name is Mohammed Reza and I live in ​B​LACKBURN, and I would like to present before you the following story. Many years ago, I married a widow out of love who had an 18-year-old daughter. After the wedding, my father, a widower, came to visit a number of times, and he fell in love with my step-daughter. My father eventually married her without my authorization. As a result, my step-daughter legally became my step-mother and my father my son-in-law. My father's wife (also my step-daughter) and my step-mother, gave birth to a son who is my grandchild because I am the husband of my step-daughter's mother This boy is also my brother, as the son of my father. As you can see, my wife became a grandmother, because she is the mother of my father's wife. Therefore, it appears that I am also my wife's grandchild. A short time after these events, my wife gave birth to a son, who became my father's brother-in-law, the step-son of my father's wife, and my uncle. My son is also my step-mother's brother, and through my step-mother, my wife has become a grandmother and I have become my own grandfather. In light of the above mentioned, I would like to know the following: Does my son, who is also my uncle, my father's son-in-law, and my step-mother's brother fulfil the requirements for receiving childcare benefit? Sincerely yours, Mohammed.
  20. That's what happens when you eat someone else's pie as well as your own...
  21. piece of cake as long as you have a 0-60 hand pump (like a Progressive)
  22. My first job was at a fly in fishing camp in northern Ontario called Barney's Ball Lake Lodge. I was 15 and I got the job coz my mom worked there. This was a 1st class fishing / hunting lodge that catered mostly to rich Americans. We flew in on either an Otter or Beaver pontoon plane. Had a love of flying ever since. My job involved preparing the lunch boxes for the fishing guides. These were filled with all the necessary utensils, pot, pans, and cooking necessities for the guides to prepare a "shore lunch" for the guests from the fish caught during the morning. Other parts of my job involved hauling all the garbage from the cabins and lodge to the dump in an old army jeep. Louis, the frenchman who owned the jeep was quite fussy about it and I had to make sure I kept it clean and didn't wreck it. One day I got it stuck at the dump as I was unloading the kitchen scraps, etc and as usual, the bears knew it was dinner time. Normally that wouldn't be a problem coz I normally didn't get stuck. In my attempts go get out of there before the bears ate me, I got mud and muck all over the jeep from spinning the wheels. Old Louis taught me every French swear word there is that day! We also went out on the lake and netted minnows for bait, brought them back to camp and kept them in a "live pool". The guests would bring their afternoon catch back to our "fish house" where several of us would clean, wrap, and flash-freeze the fish for them to take home. I became quite proficient at filleting fish in those days. All forgotten now though. Being quite "green" and shortly after I'd started work there, my immediate supervisor (guy I mostly worked with) sent me down to the warehouse to get something he needed to include in the lunch box for one of the guides. I was told to tell the guy in the warehouse that Joe sent me to get a long weight. Well, I waited ... and I waited .... and waited .... I could fill pages and pages of my summer experiences working there ... had to be one of the very best times of my life.
  23. As per a recent thread of mine... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?108430-Time-to-Switch-Gears-Selling-the-Bike! I'm sorta at that stage now. I want to cut back on riding and spend more time doing other, "relaxing" things so, we're selling the Victory, buying an older 5th wheel trailer, couple kayaks, and an older motorcycle (not totally sure what just yet but looking at older Wings). I expect this to all come together early spring. Like you and others elude to, I'm just getting tired of riding all the time ... plus my finger and thumb on my right hand get extremely sore after a few hours of twistin and I feel fatigued from eye strain after several hours. Gettin old is the issue but really, riding has been my number one passion most of my adult life but now it's time to move on.
  24. I'm considering buying an older Wing (1988 - 2000) if I find the right one. Currently looking at an '89 Would like to get some feedback from any of you that have owned these bikes. Bro-in-law has a '96 and he loves it but has had some alternator issues... which are now resolved.
  25. To add to that ... the lady who has to dig all through her purse to find the exact change.... ggrrrrrrrrrrrrr And then there's the one's who feel it's a good time for a gossip session.... ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
