snyper316 Posted April 21, 2017 #2 Posted April 21, 2017 Sir I think you went and lost your wheels and maybe something else I hope you can find the stuff while your cleaning. "Never ride faster then your guardian angel can fly."
cowpuc Posted April 21, 2017 #4 Posted April 21, 2017 YOU, my brother, are a HUGE inspiration = Tip, Tweeksis and I want to say THANK YOU Skidder!!

Keep the rubber side down, I need condors new 🚤 got flood warnings now so even after it stops raining tinker can't go nowhere.... "Never ride faster then your guardian angel can fly."

If I had a good buddy who was a fishermen and I knew he probably had a bunch of fish in his freezer - I would just show up now with my beach towel and squirt bottle of Windex (I got an extra one of ya need it bro) about a 1/2 hour before dinner time and say - "thought maybe ya'll could use some sistance with cleaning up that spot I was jerkin your chain about"... ,, probably got some ice cream hiding in that freezer too DanL'... ,, still dont know why you two jail birds dont head up to Michigan fir Hot Dogs after ya get done polishing on em.. Do it before June while there's still a chance of snow and you wont get a bug one on those shining things!!!!
CMCOFFEY Posted April 22, 2017 #10 Posted April 22, 2017 In all of this "spring cleaning" did anybody happen to run across a spare MK1 trailer hitch that would be willing to sell? I sold the 2nd gen a while ago, and I still have the trailer, no hitch to pull it with on my 84.

I sold the 2nd gen a while ago, and I still have the trailer, no hitch to pull it with on my 84. Heyyyy,, wassup Coff!! Lets try something here,,,, hey Larry - @Carbon_One - @CarbonOne ,, or maybe @bongobobny or maybe even @Freebird... Larry (start with him - he knows the bike) - I got that rear Ventureline bumper thingy with my scoot and as you know, it is no longer attached - any idea if that is somehow part of a Trailer Hitch assembly and if so - any idea on what Coff may need to turn it into a trailer hitch and not just a "bumper"? Hey,, worth a shot Sonshine!!
Yammer Dan Posted April 22, 2017 #12 Posted April 22, 2017 CRAZY??? I got papers ta prove I ain't Crazy!! 3 Times!!! Them judges ain't too bright!!
Carbon_One Posted April 22, 2017 #13 Posted April 22, 2017 Puc the trailer hitch assembly is a completely different assembly from that rear bumper and lights. The bike did have a hitch when I bought it but that's gone on another VR members bike for a couple years now. Sorry If I recall the hitches use a different mounting between the MK I's & MK II's. Maybe not much thou. Larry
Skid Posted April 22, 2017 Author #14 Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Got the new tires mounted today and ready to put some miles on them this year Edited April 22, 2017 by Skid
snyper316 Posted April 22, 2017 #15 Posted April 22, 2017 silly question is it ok to use tire shine on our tires?
Skid Posted April 22, 2017 Author #16 Posted April 22, 2017 silly question is it ok to use tire shine on our tires? I have always used it on the sides and never had a problem. And I'm a firm believer in giving the sides equal time.
cowpuc Posted April 23, 2017 #17 Posted April 23, 2017 Got the new tires mounted today and ready to put some miles on them this year https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170422/a045494ba865664d9d290882431a9bfe.jpg Shoooooot brother,,,,, those are junk tires.. Why,,, I betcha those things couldnt even make it to a Puc's Meet - Greet and Eat Meat up here in Michigan.... Think I'm goofy? Tell ya what,,, lets make a bet,,,, you climb on that gorgeous scoot with the junk tires - maybe even get DanL' to follow ya just in case - head this way for one of our MGnEM's - if ya make it with any tread left and I am wrong, I will buy ya all the 1/4 pound All Beef Dogs ya can eat - Dan too of course.. If I am right, and we end up putting new tires on it up here - I will let you use my tools and lift to swap em out while Dan and I lay on the slab out front watching ya while we sip Root Beer and eat left over Dogs and do full supervision.. Ya still get the all you can eat Dogs either way... You two trouble makers can bring the ladies along too if you like - got lots of space. If this sounds doable, try to grab a Meet n Greet during May/June.. Looking more and more feasible that Tip and I are gonna pull off a western CTFW to see my girls this year (last time out was '14 - wayyy to long) - aint getting any younger,, gonna do er while the doings good.. IF we are able = July/August are gonna get thin, mighty thin... Actually - some GOOD looking tires there brother - those E3 or E4 radials?
Skid Posted April 23, 2017 Author #18 Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) The tires are E3's Bias plys. And if the timing is right I just may take you up on the dog, (but I prefer steak) PS: you can see both my Deeres in this pic of the tires Edited April 23, 2017 by Skid
Aussie Annie Posted April 23, 2017 #19 Posted April 23, 2017 So Puc........ does that mean y'all need some new Aussie stickers for the bike??? 😊
snyper316 Posted April 23, 2017 #21 Posted April 23, 2017 Micrometer hiding up there Skid??? Two of them one digital the other analog haven't seen them since I used one a few years back, and both have gained in value since I bought them... "Never ride faster then your guardian angel can fly."
Skid Posted April 23, 2017 Author #22 Posted April 23, 2017 Micrometer hiding up there Skid??? Yes Dan. I have it in the house for safe keeping. I'll get it to you next time you're up.
N3FOL Posted April 24, 2017 #23 Posted April 24, 2017 Looks like you are having fun even when not riding. You encourage me to wipe down my bike tomorrow and head to the gym before the rain comes in the afternoon.
Flyinfool Posted April 24, 2017 #24 Posted April 24, 2017 I looked at mine this morning before I jumped on it to head into work. The crops were just starting to sprout in the layer of dirt that is on the trunk........ Does that mean it is time to wash it?, Wont getting it wet just help the crops grow? Your bike looks good, mine will never be that clean unless I loose a bet and have to let someone else wash it.
