OHHH YEAAA!! Me too brothe:thumbsup:r!! They actually made a couple of Soft Tail springers too Don. The one I REALLY would LOVE to have is the Heritage Springer - thats the one that has that "Olivia" look to it.. Had the horn mounted up under the headlight and the "hood ornament" on the front fender = wow zzz wow wow wow.. I personally liked the last year of the Evo's in that bike cause they still had the reflectors on the seat.. The early Twin Cam models were VERY SHARP though.. The other springer soft tail had a narrower front tire - more of chopper look, they were sharp but I like the Heritage Springer better, that dog gone Olivia poisoned me I think By the way @Condor,, you are more than welcome champ!!

@Eck,, are by chance one of the smarty pants from the VMax forum I was playing on? No? Are you sure? :stickpoke:

Just got off the phone with my provider,, they tested their junk and said they will be sending a repairaholic out in a couple days. Said my line tested outside of their parameters. Also looked up my router, said it was 3 years old (where da heck does time go) and that he would also look replacing it while here. I tried to get em to ship me a new router like they did once before but the tech on the phone said "lets let our guy take care of all of it at one time", good with that since its only suppose to be a couple days till he shows.. So far I have recovered my hard drive (started from scratch), rebooted my router (unplugged and restart), got all my pics and vids backed up on a new external hard drive, tired Explorer on the "new" system = wont run VR, downloaded Firefox = what I am on now and able to get on the site a little, downloaded Google Chrome since my buddy @mirider is putting a whoopin on me with his = cant connect to VR. Puters running superrrr fast again (NICE) but VR is still a hard one to log on.. Another interesting thing that popped into my mind you guys, remember a while back when someone was questioning not being able to log off on the site? I have noticed that I too have a hard time logging off on the log off icon. I know Don mentioned back then that it really doesnt matter cause we get logged off automatically (if I remember correctly:missingtooth:). One of the things I have noticed is that after not being on the site for a couple days is that I am still logged on.. Don, just curious,, is it possible that everyone who logs on is being kept logged on and that is creating some kind of bottle neck or something.. Not trying to make more work for you my friend - just tossing out random thoughts.. Usually, especially lately, it has taken several attempts to log out here.. Not thinking virus stuff Jack cause this is a brand new recovery - like getting a new puter... Wish this were a bike we were all working on together,, puters aint as much fun THANKS AGAIN YA'LL!! Puc

Been trying again all morning, was only able to get onto this thread by clicking on the link in an email that came because Kev responded to this thread (clicked on the link and it loaded). I have another tab open that has been trying to log in for 15 minutes - little swirly is still spinning but nothing happening. The little swirly is also still spinning on this page while I am typing this note so no idea if be readable. Gonna try those sites that Jack posted, also - what is this ping thing Boss or Kev? How does one go about doing that? Oh, by the way - THANK YOU for the help folks!!

Gorgeous scoot Jack, looks like a twin cam (99 or newer) judging by what appears to be the modular tranny. Cant really see the cam cover of the space between the push rods well enough to see there,, what the heck is that between the pipes right under the breather:think:.. Almost looks like a magneto setup on an old sporty but that aint possible,, not enough mass or piping for turbo,, not long enough for gear drive blower,, interesting - veryyy interesting.. Anyway, for sure its a "B" motor (balanced) cause thats what they used in the soft tails like that - notice the oil lines? B motor for sure.. Not as peppy as the "A" motors like they put in the other models (non soft tails) but good motors. Wheels make it look like a CVO/Screamin Eagle.. Tell ya what, bought an 07 Super Glide Custom, nice bike 18k miles - running rideable for 3500 from a Harley dealer who needed money bad (bought in January - they hadnt sold a bike since October). Resold in spring for 6500 without to much trouble.. Would guess you would be "safe" between those number,, make sure it runs good before you bid though - if ya cant run it thru the gears = take 2 grand right off the top cause they aint cheap to fix:happy34: Thats my opinion brother,, next time I am in town I will buy ya a cup of coffee = the java's probably worth more

:rotf::rotf::crackup:My puter is made in China and I think there is a little Chinese guy living in it Well,, I went to full extremes,, we picked up an external hard drive today, pulled (get this) 195 gig of pics of this beater, did the old recovery routine (wiped out the hard drive and reinstalled to new specs.. It got so bad that I couldn't even open the opening page here - tried and tried earlier and finally got on - it was when there were well over 100 other users on the site (hate to beat on a dead horse but it just seemed like the more users on the site the more difficult it was for me to get on - maybe it was just my imagination but it really did seem that way).. I just tried Explorer with the fresh recovery and Explorer would not load the site. Downloaded Firefox and that is what I am running now.. It did take Firefox several attempts before it would load up VR - also noted that there are 58 others signed in = less than the 100 plus earlier.. My next step is going to be to get ahold of our Service Provider and see if they will send me a new Router and line filter. I am running DSL, land line phone here in the house is crystal clear so I dont think its "noise" on the line thats causing issues. Running Windows 7, 3 gig of memory. Loads all other sites right up including Youtube, netflix, Craigs, and other forums (spent some time on a V-Max forum - bunch of smarty pants - I missed you bunch of lop eared varmints:doh:.. Anyway, gonna keep at it till I figure out what in the wild world of sports is going on here.. Maybe hafta set a "mouse" trap with some Sweet n Sour Chicken on it for bait Dan:guitarist 2::guitarist 2::crackup:

Careful out there brother,, those Miata's make awesome sports cars but terrible canoes!! Sounds like you and Linda are having a riot = AWESOME!

What in the wild world sports is a PEBCAK Joe???? Ok,, so heres the deal,, I am running Windows 7, Firefox for a browser.. Thing that's crazy is that the problem is happening with both Lap Top and our Tablet. Even happens on hook ups away from home (Mcdonalds).. I can access all other sites - load right up and navigate just fine at Ebay, other forums, Craigs and on and on.. Here is the really really weird part,, I have noticed that if there are over 70 people logged on to VR I have trouble accessing the site and it gets worse the more folks that are signed in - if its all about only the strongest survive I feel like I am riding my little 1 1/2 horse moped .. Maybe its just my imagination but I dont think so.. Gonna try to post this now and see if it will load..

Not sure about that right now but it sure is the fix for my neighbor with the brand new V-Rod :stickpoke:

Probably my beater computer but I have noticed the site has gotten really slow, sometimes gotta try loading several times in order to load up. All my other stomping grounds see to do just fine so I thought I check in to see if others are having problems too? Thought I would ask before I go crazy and :smash2: go to work on my puter.. Thanks ya bunch of lop eared varmints:backinmyday:

Got it David - THANKS a gizzillion times infinity brother!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS GARY!!

CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR GOOD BUDDY!! YOU ALMOST PULLED IT OFF THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA MAKE IT DIDNT CHA:big-grin-emoticon: THANKFULLY OL PUCSTER'S GOT CHUR BACK BROTHER!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PAL, TO MY PAL, TO MY PAL,,,, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PAL,,, MY PAL RANDYYYYY!!!! :ice_congrats-vi6886:ice_congrats-vi6886:ice_congrats-vi6886:ice_congrats-vi6886:ice_congrats-vi6886:Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday::Happy Birthday: YOUR OL BUDDY PUC!!

Quite a day around Puc Land today. Starting out with me cleaning out a bunch of junk from out back, taking down an old antenna and then Tip and I hauling the stuff down to the scrape steel joint. As the lady behind the counter handed Tip the $9.50 for the scrape steel I said "oh crud".. Then when the lady smiled and asked I said "oh crud" I politely said "cause I did all the work and you gave all my earning to the wife" As we are on the way home from "the junk yard with the nice lady" (Tippy's words) I get a phone call from an ol buddy of mine who says he has something I may be interested in.. Drop off the trailer and head north.. First peek when I saw the rattle can paint job I said "oh crud" for the second time today. Tell ya one thing though,, he may look like crud but I think my neighbor's new V-Rod may have named him "HOLY COWPOLY"

I am with ya Beach, me and Tip - we dont much care for pushing these great big ol heavy mudsuckers much either - matter of fact, Tippy actually likes it less than I do.. Anyway,, I get chur drift brother!! Thankfully you made it home ok my friend and didnt have to retrace with the truck, to me that is even less fun than pushing. Tell ya what,, knowing how the fan can suck the life out of a battery and by the sound of things (you stated you had an extended wait in a long line of traffic) you were well into running the fan - if it was mine and the bike didnt have a volt meter on it (no idea which scoot your riding) I would just walk out into the garage, crank er up, let it idle and watch the headlight as I spun er up a little bit.. You should be able to detect a change in the headlight on the garage wall as it revs - should get brighter. Yea,, I know,, may not be the same as going thru all the testing and all that BUT - aint no way I would miss "the party" if that headlight was telling me she is charging. Anyway, glad you made it back home safely!! Oh, by the way,, I have used MANY of those Walmart batteries with some pretty awesome results - one nice thing about Wally World - THEY ARE EVERYWHERE if ya have problems!!

OUTSTANDING BROTHER!!:clap2::clap2::dancefool::thumbsup: What a beautiful family God has blessed you with my brother!!! That is soooo cool Dusty, THANK YOU for sharing them with us - TIP IS JUST SMILING FOR EAR TO EAR TOO!! We are so glad your trip turned out to be such a blessing for you my friend (cause it sure was for us!!) - THANK YOU for shooting over here and sharing some of your time with us and now, getting to see these pics - WOW - FANTASTIC BROTHER!!!!! Tip says "that pic of the Grand Baby with the shopping cart is absolutely PRICELESS" (and I agree).. God Bless my friend (or should I say "continue to bless" ) Puc n Tip

Dont let that Fool fool ya Dj,, he knowed exactly what ya be talking about.. That lop eared varmint is just getting :stickpoke:and :banana:cause he thinks its almost time for him to with some as soon as those Canucks start trying to :cold:us out.. Got news for em all though - this is gonna be one of those :scorched:winters in prep for next years International :big-grin-emoticon::big-grin-emoticon:

Looks like someone put a fair amount of work into that one Blaine:thumbsup:!! I think some powder coated wheels to match and maybe a set of fork legs powder coated to match too would REALLY make that puppy stand out!!

This is a mooing machine and just like a moing machine,, it dont moooo much when da fool starts with the:snow: either:happy34:..

GREAT IDEA MIKE!! You folks in FLorida must also have some pretty small chickens though,, not sure that chickens up here in the north would like living in gutters or even fit in em for that matter.. BUT!! :lightbulb:betcha the gutter downspouts make excellent egg chutes I dont have chickens so I can't try it out,, maybe next time I go visit Moe in Viroqua I will talk to Orlin (he and Sharon have chickens I think - if not I will check with @eagleeye cause I KNOW he does) and see if he wants to give it try.. Seriously though bro - good idea - never thought of that!!

Dj, up here in the great northern state of Michigan we have a fairly good fishin pond known as Lake Michigan. While our pond does not have sharks in it like that bigger fishin hole you folks have down there, it does have something that yours doen't. It has something called a @Flyinfool who lives somewhere on the pond's western shoreline.. This high flying Fool likes to mess around with diodes, triodes, astrogenetics, jet streams and many/anything else that he can get away with while he tinkers in his basement. Many years ago, Mr. Fool got some wires crossed while in his man cave working on something called his Wisconsin White Wash Machine (it's a device that turns green lawns white and makes it very difficult to drive anything other than a vehicle with true four wheel drive). The resulting eddy currents associated with the crossing of those wires caused some kind of a magnetic paradox in our atmosphere which, besides an occasional case of Northern Lights (those are really pretty), this caused our trees to shed their leafs and go bald. Its kind of strange because both the Northern Lights and the trees going bald happens pretty annually these days. Unlike yours truly and the bald spot on my head, our Michigan trees seem to be fairly tough and always seem to regrow their leaf's every year.. Oh, wait a minute,, that might not have been the answer you were looking for,,,,,,, maybe you are asking the tougher question that has to do with why leaf's fall down instead of floating in the air? No idea if thats the question but I can tell you one thing - be glad they dont float and end up in Florida cause they sure can be a pain in the neck to clean up:backinmyday:

So, what your saying Gary is it would take the group of about 100 VR International riders a couple hours to get my camping spot.. Just about perfect for Tip and I to wake up, pack Tweeks, build a camp fire and have the fire in perfect shape for all of us to roast hot dogs for lunch before we jump inline and bring up the rear to take some half baked video's of my buddies riding those awesome roads.. Sound about right? THANK YOU for the link my brother!!! Puc

NICE ZZZzzz!! Looks like ya had a ball - good on ya bro!!! Now,, about that 67ish Honda CL77 305 Scrambler - rock n roll!!! It's a flaw in my character,, I LOVE VINTAGE SCOOT:backinmyday: Thanks for the pics and the post! Puc

Now that I got your attention GUYS,, Menard's has gutter covers (you know, the stuff that keeps the Fall leaves out of the gutters) for FREE this week!! Store rebate after purchase for FULL amount!! Tippy is an avid couponder and LOVES Menards rebate program which is FANTASTIC but,, sales like this can sure add to the "Puc honey,, do this list". Thats why I thought best to make this a Mens Only thread. A simple "well thank you Puc for having your brothers backs and posting this valuable thread in this manner, will do.. Oh yea, PS = At first I was all poochy lipped - standing on a ladder in this GORGEOUS sunshine, buddies going by waving at me on their bikes and all that.. Then it occurred to me, with every section of the gutter cover I put up now - it means in the future years I - THATS RIGHT - I can be out riding my bike while the leaf's are no longer finding home in my gutters:178:
