  1. Regardless of the bike, I do think it was a HD Road King, it appears the guy was running from the LEO, running red lights etc and he tapped the bike much like they do cars. As soon as the guy regains his feet he was off and running. Still got caught. Looks like he got what was deservered. Larry
  2. Great idea Brad. My vote is to flip the pins, shirts and what not right back to St. Judes. Larry
  3. Squidley this is pure evil keeping Lewis in all this suspense. I love it. Boy I could just see Lewis having to go to Star Fan's Island to retrieve it too. He better get busy before maintainance day at Don's. Larry
  4. Got mine today as well. That's some nice quality work done on these buckles. Going to get myself a new belt to go with it too. Thanks for doing this Thom Larry
  5. WOW Jeff glad to hear you're OK except for a nit shook up. Lots can be said about that third wheel for sure. Maybe time to go to the darkside on that rear tire if you'll be running a rig? Larry
  6. Hey Jonas it'll be great seeing you at Don's in May. With all the ensusiasm you're showing already it'll be contagious for the rest of us. I too am looking forward to next years Venture rider events whenever, wherever they may be. Have to pick and chose some of them but wouldn't miss Don's Maintance day nor the International Rally in August. Larry
  7. I'm going to temporarily suspend lift adapter production due to me needing to finish my kitchen & utility room remodeling and the upcoming hunting season. I do have a couple of the Standard models boxed and ready for shipping but no Freestanding models until I purchase more steel and get them built. Hopefully I'll have some more ready before Thanksgiving but deffineately before the 1st of next month. At any rate they'll be available for putting under the X-Mas tree. Thanks in advance, Larry
  8. No that's not made by me. This guy started copying them soon after I started building & selling mine. I've watched his ads and many times he don't sell any at all so wonder how much he loses after paying the E-Bay fees. I think he may be building them at a workshop so that'll keep his costs down a lot too. Just guessing on my part so may not be true. He's still using the first design while I have since made improvements to my design for easier use. As well as offering the Freestanding version. Bottom line is I feel my lift adapters are better and easier to use than his are. As to a patent I did check into it and decided not to go that route as it's too expensive for the amount of sales I have done. Larry
  9. Nice find Jerry. Not a bad price either when you consider the costs involved in converting a bike too. You had me scared for a bit there thinking you were selling your bike. Larry
  10. Best read thru that book again Mr. Owl. I saw roads for Michigan & Pennsylvania, nada on New Jersey, Nebraska & Texas. Larry
  11. I'd be in for one as well. Carbon One for the bottom name. Larry
  12. I don't see any reason you couldn't providing the wheels bolt pattern is the same. They do look good and not a bad price considering you get wheel & tire. Larry
  13. That's a realy good offer Robbie. Someone should grab it soon I'd think. Did you know that I have also made a lift adapter for trikes? Yep I still like to get mine up in the air for easier wrenching and cleaning. Drop me mail and we'll get ya fixed up.
  14. Well maybe I can talk Denden into using his 1st gen as a guinea pig and set up something. The exhaust pipes look like they'd be in the way when I looked once before. Another thing was getting around the center stand as my 2nd gen lift adapter utilizes the mounting tabs on the frame. I'll research this a bit more but no promises. Larry
  15. No web site. Just go to the 2nd gen parts and accessories classified section here. Look on page 2 for the info. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showcat.php/cat/500/ppuser/161 Larry
  16. Steble horns can now be bought in full custom chrome. One price I saw was about $150 for it. I think current prices for the normal chromed plastic units are around $45-50. Big difference. I would have to see one of them before plunking down that much green for a horn thou. As to your queston on electric versions I don't have an answer there. Sorry Larry
  17. Well done by the kids. As you say don't push them, let them sort out who they are and where they're going with their music. With maturity and more experince I think they'll have a wonderfull future. Oh congrads to the proud parents too. Larry
  18. Here ya go-- http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27986 Larry
  19. Here in S.E. Michigan we're seeing gas prices just under 2.50. I topped off the car yesterday at 2.48. Not sure just how low or long these prices will go or last but I'll enjoy it as long as possible. I do think once the economy settles we'll see prices going up once again. Hope it won't be too much. Larry
  20. 11 k + since April. Might get some more in before the weather shuts me down. Right now I'm a busy beaver getting a kitchen/utility room remodeled so that's taking away what decent ride time is left as well. Hope to do much better next year thou. Larry
  21. Congrads to the both of you. :clap2:Wishing you many more happy years ahead. Larry
  22. Congratulations to another soon to be triker. You'll be getting a good one too. Larry
  23. Been following Harley's trike project for a while now. No I won't be buying one one since I already have a good bike. I do think Harley has made a good decision on coming out with a factory 3 wheeler thou. Especialy with so many trikes now on the road and with a growing customer base it was a smart move on their part. Haven't actually seen one in person yet but the local dealer is supposed to give me a cal when they get one in. Larry
  24. Ya mine broke in the same area and was replaced under warranty as well. If the dealer tries to give ya ahard time then contact the local factory service rep. Larry
