  1. Yep as said .. Let us know when and where.. Big River Grill sounds great..
  2. No better sound:080402gudl_prv:
  3. Praying for a GREAT outcome.. Looking forward to the results
  4. and some are just plain CRAZY!!!
  5. Jack: Do you have any braces left or are you going to be making any more? I'm actually in the process of restoring an 87 and would love to get a brace for it.. Have one of yours on my 84 and very happy with it Wayne
  6. I have a Home Depot in town here. Went in to get some plumbing fittings that I needed to custom fit something. Was sure it was going to be a little difficult making this happen. So I'm wandering around the plumbing section trying to figure out what would work. Up comes this 20 something cute young lady and says to me "Can I help you?" As my eyes roll to the back of my head I'm thinking "Yah Right" I say sure. Here is what I'm trying to do. She blew me away. "Oh" she says.. " You need this and this and this" Within seconds. Could have picked my jaw up off the floor. Turns out the Home Hardware trains their people really well and this young woman is the head of the plumbing department.. Been there a number of times for different things and they ALWAYS know where to find what I'm looking for.. Guess I'm just very lucky. On a side note a BIG Canadian Tire moved into town a few years ago and we were worried about the Home Hardware.. not to worry they are doing GREAT.. Even did a large expansion etc.. I wonder why? :-)
  7. Thanks Jim: Good Idea.. Added a Calendar Item..
  8. December the 14th Earl (Skydoc_17) and I will be meeting at Spragues Maple Farm for lunch. Anyone want to make it a Meet n Eat? Awesome place to eat and lots of room. Should be arriving around 1:00 in the afternoon. Everyone welcome. If there is a Blizzard that day then we will set another date.. I know it's a busy time of year but hanging out with friends is the best part of Christmas. http://spraguesmaplefarms.com/
  9. You can get them new from Sierra MC electronics http://www.sierra-mc.com/proddetail.asp?prod=JM-YV-41
  10. My favorite way to download YouTube on a PC (which is what you have) is to use Firefox as the browser and get the "video download helper" plugin for it. As soon as you find the video and start playing it there is a button in the top bar that looks like 3 balloons spinning slowly. Click on that and choose the resolution you want (I always choose the highest and in mp4 format) and choose the location to save it to (your flash drive) Done!! this works for a lot of video sites as well as YouTube.
  11. Oh WOW... Robin and I are praying ...
  12. We hope and pray that this goes as planned and you get to hear again.
  13. It's not an 86 either. It's an 85.. Looks clean and completely original. I don't see ANY add ons..
  14. This is an amazing product and very easy to use. 3D drawing with lots of tutorials available and with dimensions etc. Pretty simple but effective. I have been using it for awhile now and love it. There is a pro version that will import and export to and from different programs such as AutoCAD. Right now we are designing a new church addition with this. Once we have what we want we will be handing it to our Architect to complete the final drawings. Every architect and engineer we have talked to has Sketchup pro for this purpose. Also just finished designing a receiver hitch for a MkII in this product.. Anyhow I am very excited about this drawing program.. try it out and I think you will be impressed.
  15. Great news!!!
  16. This could be a number of different things. The Carbs could need a good cleaning or the TCI could have failed (this sounds like what mine was doing when the TCI failed. But it also could be a bad vacuum hose going to the MAP sensor.. I would check that hose first. Anyhow if the price is right it will be a great bike for you. BUT if you are looking for something that you won't have to work on I believe that could be a problem due to the bike being 30 years old there will most likely be things to tinker with periodically. I beileve the bike is worth it though. Awesome bike to ride. Once you get it running properly you will be very happy with the performance.
  17. Someone in this area did an A&W theme on his VR. I wish I had taken pics because it sounds not so good but the brown base with orange two tone looked amazing. He used the OEM pattern.
  18. As long as the projectors are also LED then the switches should handle that current. I believe for the lights that you want to just have come on with the headlight you could just tie into the headlight circuit to power up the relay. You would only need one relay. The headlight goes off with the power so it would also kill the highway lights. If you wanted them only on with the high beam then tie into the high beam circuit. My question is. Are the switches in the package wired independently? Or do they all have a common power and ground?
  19. Thank you for the warning.. this appears to be a very real threat and once infected you will HAVE to pay the ransom to recover your data.. Now I think that if someone is paying these a$$h0les then there should be a way to trace who is getting the money.. Then they should be strung up by their Thumbs and let the rest of us take off pieces...
  20. Awesome news!!!
  21. Jim: I believe this is the way they are designed. Sort of a floating system so as not to wear inevenly etc.. If you look at the front ones I think they are the same. Cannot tell when the calipers are on.. Wayne
  22. Wizard765

    TCI

    I have a couple of them here but not sure which are good and which are not good. You are very welcome to try them out and see if it helps.. I'd love to see my jacket again..
  23. I'd be very interested in what you have Earl and shipping to Bob works for me.. or maybe I'll make the trip down to see YOU in person..
  24. Ok looks like I have a new project.. Gonna pick up an 87 VR. It looks pretty good but has been sitting for awhile.. It has been laying down a few times and the crash guards are very scratched and dented.. I'd love to be able to put something on her that are somewhat more appealing.. Anyone? Oh front AND rear..
  25. I didn't know Walmart had the platinum burners in LED. Can you find a link? I have the halogen version and they work well. The 55 watt bulbs were replaced with 35 watt and they light up the road very well.. would be interested to see how well the LED version works and the cost
