    Your best bet is to add a 12 volt power outlet wired direct to the battery. Of course add a fuse holder and properly sized wiring. There's a prepunched hole with a plug by the rear fender on the left side. A very convienate location with it being next to the + terminal of the battery. Larry BTW: I have one of the Slime compact tire infators and it works great. Just plug into the above power outlet and go. My outlet has a rubber cover to keep water out as well.

    True there but not near as ridable, But clean forgot about his 750.. Looks like the Warden still going to need to keep an eye on him. Larry

    Hey Lyle & Pam it was our pleasure as much as yours meeting you folks. Glad to hear you made it home safely too. Had a couple deer spotted on I-79 as well after leaving Skids Saturday night. Thankfully they kept to their browsing and stayed off the highway. Hope to see you guys again someday as well. Larry

    Great write up hdhtr. Now I know why no one was wanting to work on it. Dan kept telling me someone was supposed to do some tune up work but as the day got longer and longer it still sat quitely waiting it's turn. Sorry to say I never did hear it running before we headed back to the hotel. Probably a good thing for me as I already have enough of a hearing loss. Maybe just as well since it's squirel killer too. You know Dan them guys getting that bike to Skids may be the Wardens doing you think? Doing what she needs to do to keep you grounded till that leg is healed you know. No where near as temping to wrench or heaven forbid ride it till you're healed good and proper. Larry

    Out of curiosity, how many sidecarists are there on VR.org? (quote) Rooster1 and SteveW come to mind. There's probably a few more but certainly not many. Larry

    I have a landscaper type trailer as well for those few times I need to haul the bike or whatever. Mine is 5x10 and fits a Venture perfectly. It also has a 2x10 boards treated decking floor. Side rails come up 12-18" or whatever. I added plywood to the front to help keep derbis from hitting the bike too. Prior to this trailer I had a similar 6x12 trailer and that one would carry 2 bikes easyly. But just found it to be more trailer then needed so sold it and replaced it with the above one. Larry

    Wouldn't it be possible to cut the mufflers off and then put on your choice of after market ones? Of course doing that you may not be able to put the stock ones back on as easly. You'd need to add a coupler then or weld a coupler to one end of either the muffler itself or the pipe. Just thinking out loud here as I'm sure you should be able to come up with something other then buying a complete exhaust system. Save some $$$$$ Larry

    Yep she has and does. As well as the rest of the planning commitee. A huge THANK YOU to all for their efforts in making this event possible. Larry

    Don't forget that these motors like to rev. If the rpm's are too low the bike will shudder as well. Larry

    Looks like an interesting trip to take. For those who have done this are gas stations nurmerous enough that you don't need to worry about getting fuel, Especially between towns on the Canadian side? Cheetarabbit when are you planning on going? I might be doing this around the end of June or early July. Thanks for the info from the rest of you folks reporting here too. Larry

    Just got home about an hour ago . We took a detour to Pa to visit friends. Yep it's all of us who should and do thank Don, Eileen, & family for welcoming us to their home. This was my 3rd MD and I'm totally amazed on how smoothly everyone works on making this event such a huge success. Don & family 1st of course and then all of the volunteers wrenching. Weather was perfect this year too. Not too hot or better yet it stayed dry. I did run into some minor sprinkles coming home today thou. In the past I had ridden down and back home the same day. This year since Joyce came with me so we stayed at the Inn. Doing overnighters is the way to go. No rushing there and back so had plenty of time for visiting everyone. Thou I bet I somehow missed some folks. Larry

    Hey Charlie & Mimi Knew you'd be hooked once you attended Don's MD. Just being around everyone there is an honor. Looking forward to seeing you both at other M & E's now that you know what to except from the VR folks. Larry

    Wow Bob what can we say but be thankfull that you & Becky are fine. Bikes can be fixed or replaced. I don't think your insurance company should be too hard on you seeing as it's only the bike they'll be fixing. Larry

    Kenny it's good to see you posting with some good news here. While you'll still not quite out of the woods yet you'll soon will be. Continued thoughts and prayers for you and family till this is nothing but a bad memory. Hope to see you at Vogal too. Larry

    I like Annie's idea too. Maybe shots of the people, the bikes, and the going ons in a screen saver format. I have the VR screen saver on my pc but would like to get an updated version of VR whatever. Larry
  23. Carbon_One
    Sorry to hear of your troubles and not making it to Don's. Was really looking forward to meeeting you and seeing your trike. maybe at another M&E or rally. Hope you get everything fixed too. Larry
  24. Carbon_One
