  1. I was thinking of this also. Did a long ride up the coast with my cutie on the back. Some spots speed drop to round 25-30 mph. Then you roll up to a stop what gear was I in? Would love to have a 1st gen style indicator
  2. I think the behavior stems from trying to hyper mile these cars. When in traffic they accelerate so slow even mopeds have to swerve around them. If they are making a left trunk any time in the next two days they move left and stay there, at 2 miles under the limit.
  3. I also bought the SLIME compressor with plug kit. Threw the slime in the car trunk and got some RIDEON (doesn't affect the alloy wheels) use the compressor a lot after picking up a nail and plugging *slow leak until I got new tire. Also use it for the front and rear suspension as it can be set to the pound. It was under $20.00 at Wal-Mart. Last joint ride I was the hero. When another bike picked up a screw in the tire. I also carry a small pair of dikes for pulling screws and nails.
  4. Kit was on eBay will try and look up the sender and repost he sells many colors its an 84 led kits 14 pods of 6 LED'S each comes with the wiring and controller. 4 functions straight off on, breathing (dims and brightens like its inhaling) , flicker or rotates thru the other three functions. The controller fits on a key chain, with a wireless module under the seat. I did add a master arm switch so I can shut them off without the remote http://www.ebay.com/itm/400137466357
  5. Saw this demoed at local bike night. Use regular mounting holes in the bed of most trucks
  6. Don't know for sure, but my old 96 would bounce back and forth from high 20"s to high 30"s depending on riding style. When I hit the interstate for a weekend trip the low 40"s was possible. I drove it around town almost every day so stop and go really affected the mileage. Try Seafoam, get the floats adjusted and check the airfilter
  7. So i posted last week about getting pulled over for having "BLUE" leds on the bike. Well i changed them all this week. put on "GREEN" leds. I thought they'd be ugly but I kinda like them,
  8. I want one of everything. I can pay pal for what's up now and keep me on the list for the rest. I really like the saddle bag fillers
  9. I want them all!!!!! what's the price for the lot. More shinny is more BETTER!!!!
  10. Its funny really, I've been a forum/chat room junky since my first computer (Tandy ds-3) on Delphi, then my first p.c. with windows 3.1, so a long time. Every time since 3.1 that windows, has upgraded I've seen a version of this discussion. Me i'll stay with windows. Roll with the inevitable, growing pains, and enjoy each update, that makes the system better. Rumor has, it that Mr Gates returned, to the corp office to take a hand in his company again. After seven hours and three different techs not being able to get his office computer to update properly he called a meeting of, top level management and said bluntly, fix this. So I think things will improve
  11. Yes the deputy was young and I believe he had an Explorer ride along that night. At least a late teenaged guy got, out of the car and stood at the hood and watched the process. The ticket was a warning so no monetary hit this time. I am referring to hidden led pods under the various bits and pieces. I have one under the triple tree that illuminates the forks, one on the front of the airbox that lights the floor boards one under the tank the lights the motor, one under the rear floor board lights the pipe, one under the rear bag illuminates wheel and tire one on the trunk that lights up the top of the bag. None of these pods is visible or set as to shine anywhere but directly on the bike. If I used pure white lights they'd still have a blue tint as most reflect, off some body work. Well anyway I ordered 16 more pods, this time in green. I hadn't soldered and shrink wrapped the others yet, wasn't sure of, the positioning, so the change will be easy.
  12. So raining cats and dogs, coming home from work. I hit the L.E.D. switch so I was a bit more visible. I turned up a side street and heeded home the back way. The rain tapered off I got within a half mile, of the condone I see the lights behind me. I got pulled over because the BLUE on my L.E.DS IS A RESERVED COLOR! Evidently blue and red lights are only allowed on police cars in FL
  13. The make a stellar product welcome back
  14. So I bought a Roger sr40. Waited the three days took the course finally got to the range. Only ran two, clips or 28 rounds(spring is still, stiff didn't want to force 15 in). Well the piece fired perfectly. Man it throws the brass a ways. Out of the box it seem to ride a little high and to the left for my grip. Didn't want to adjust anything just yet. Will go thru some more rounds latter this week. Will get my glasses adjusted to fit a little better and some ear protection that doesn't move my glasses around then we'll see
  15. I'm so glad its not just me! Prius drivers as a group are the worst..... they drive as if common sense and courtesy don't apply. They tend to maintain a speed and lane position regardless of road, or, traffic conditions. In parking lots (like the mall) the take up an entire lane waiting for a space and damn the 20 people trying to get by. Lane changes without signals, and they don't adjust sped for the change 45mphi in left right or center lanes
  16. Had both on multiple bikes. If you only have one get a tall. I recommend the F4 as it really sheds moisture. If you can spring the extra buck$ go with tinted and vented then its great all around
  17. Well I bought one. Roger SR40. Class Monday night. Pick it up Friday morning. Damn waiting period. Buying a gun is different now than 30 years ago!
  18. Watched the video several times. No mater what I do I can't download it and blow it up or slow it down frame by frame, some weird encoding. Look carefully no damage evident on cars crinkled fender broken glass nothing. Detailed models? Even look at the floor pieces and lack of dust cloud. Just thinking here not saying it is or isn't
  19. So I ordered my tire and scheduled install. Gonna have the links put on also. Here I sit in sunny fl enjoying the mid 70's. My damn tire is on a UPS truck in Atlanta!!!!! So now I have to wait till next week for a day off
  20. Well the kids are gone, thinking of rearming. I have my Mossberg Police issue 12 gauge. Been thinking of augmenting with a hand gun. Had wheel guns in the past, been thinking an auto would be nice. Want something inexpensive (relatively) reliable and cheap enough to operate that I can go to the range every once in a while with out breaking the bank and still be a back up home defense weapon so I think a 32 or 380 are too small so 9mm and up. I've got BIG hands. My last hand gun was a Ruger Super Black Hawk in 44 mag with a 7" barrel 4x scope and jay Scott custom oversized grips, I fired this one handed most of the time and could put all five in the black. Of course now I can't see as well (damn glasses) and don't have the upper body either(damn desk job) so something a little lighter but able to accomidate my hands?
  21. Well I've put enough miles on the bike now. This week getting new rubber on the rear. Getting the E3 as recommended here. Also getting mark to throw on the leveling links. While the back end is apart what else need to be checked out with 11K mile bike? My guy was glad to hear from me as the shop has been dead most of the month, so he's calling his friend at dealership to see if there are any TSB'S to check out.
  22. To me it look like an Airdrive motor. Used in areas where sparks can't be present a stream of compress air drives against the center and a belt rides against the two outer sheave areas.
  23. So I installed the shield last week it went smooth (see other post). Been riding with it for a week. No passenger yet weather is iffy but I ride every day regardless, I love the tint, just enough to cut the glare without making it too dark. The bubble of calm is hard to judge alone, but the tails of my do-rag don't whip around at any speed (have not broke 100 mph this week). I don't know how they treat the surface but it just sheds water, rain and fog dew just slide off. The vent is great and doesn't whistle like my last one. All in all I'm impressed, so I think I sell the vented clear shorty I now have.
  24. went with the biggest one they had in tint with the vent. Rode in a little rain today love it
  25. watched a local "live" report about a year ago. the outside reporter was in rain coat wind blowing rain slashing down, yakking about the major storm coming ashore 1/2 mile from my house. went outside to deep purple sky calm winds and a few wispy clouds. got in my car drove to the hotel parking lot no news van.....hmm go home and a half hour later there's an update from the same reporter still there with the worsening conditions! News channel got angry phone call from me and a nasty letter, don't think it changed anything. Most live shots are green screens now anyhow my great aunt Bea always said the only people to predict weather herein Florida are Damn fools or Damn Yankees
