  1. I hope someone out there can tell me this. Will the trunk reflector from an 86 up 1st Gen fit an 85 trunk? They LOOK the same. Wayne
  2. Great pics Craig: Taters.. That "shorter than you" person would be my wife Robin. She isn't on the site because she isn't very computer savvy. She does love to ride though and comes to every event we can make it to. Great times.. I really enjoy meeting people and putting faces to names etc. Bob you did good. Great food and easy to get to. Lots of room for parking. Good turn out. Am hoping to see more Americans at these events soon. The only glitch I had was following MarCarl while he argued with his GPS and we took a short tour of Western New York. LOL Wayne
  3. I have the passenger boards and exhaust from and 88 on my 84. The floorboards fit but you will still have to make a bracket or hanger for the exhaust. Bongobob helped me make aluminum brackets for mine. It was easy and works like a charm. Without the floorboards I think a longer bolt will do the trick. Wayne
  4. Hey Craig: Was good meeting you today. Looking forward to doing that again. You should come up to Carl's for the 23rd. I cannot find your pics and would love to see them. Wayne
  5. Thanks Bob: That should make it a bit easier to find one.. Wayne
  6. I have an 85 trunk that I want to put on my 84. I have the trunk and the bracket that holds it but I'm missing the bar that holds the antenna. Does anyone have one that will fit they'd be willing to part with? I was wondering if the Mk2 would be the same. 84 is shorter so won't reach past the edge of the trunk and is not attached the same way. Wayne
  7. That's seems ok except for the 45MPH max towing speed. I don't know if the 2nd gens can get up to that...
  8. Congratulations Gary and Mary.. This is AWESOME news. Really looking forward to meeting you Mary. Gary has mentioned that you like riding. This is also good news. May the Lord make this union very special. Wayne
  9. I have a hitch here for a MKII. I had purchased it for my 84 and won't fit but will fit yours. It is a Markland and in pretty good shape. Wayne
  10. Joel: You know the rules.... Where's the pic?? Wayne
  11. I'm up for this as well. Wayne
  12. I'd like to get 2. Then I have to find someone local to sew them on jackets... hmmm
  13. I believe almost any truck stop will have chrome centre caps that fit the 8" trailer wheels. The look exactly like the baby moons but there are a few other choices as well. Wayne
  14. Yep.. They sure don't look as pretty all torn down. Last winter both Marcarl and I had ours down to no plastic. Marcarl had his engine out as well. Looked pretty scary..

  20. This is a GREAT idea. I certainly have a few places here in Southern Ontario that I truly believe need a mention. I also like to travel somewhat and would love to try out new places. The idea of being able to search by location would make it very practical. Bring it ON..

    I showed it to the Navigator and she wasn't happy with me. I thought it was very funny and my bruises should heal up without any scars.
  22. I have a set of the small chrome ones that Squidley picked up for me last year. I replaced the 55 watt bulbs with 35 watt bulbs that I picked up at Lowes. I'm very impressed with the light they put out as well as how they look. Can't beat the price either. When I wired them I didn't put in a relay (mistake) and forgot to turn them off a few times. The first time they were on while we were parked in Niagara Falls for over an hour and the scoot still started fine. I'm in the process of installing a relay so that won't happen again. The switch that came with it I didn't particularly like so I purchased a switch from a boating place that is completely water tight. It looks like it was suppose to be there. Wayne
  23. Hey Carl: I'm pretty sure this is planned for the 23rd which is the Saturday... I know you grey haired old folks get mixed up some times but this IS suppose to be YOUR event... Wayne
  24. It's interesting that I'd always had a bike. From a youngster when I had a frame with a lawn mower engine in it until I was in my early 30s and our first child came along. In 1984 my wife informed me that she was pregnant and in the fall of that year I sold my bike. The intent was that at some future date when the kids grew up and didn't have time for us any more we'd get another one. It was always in the back of my mind. In 84 the bike I wanted was the VR and that never left so when the time came some 20 years later the bike I was looking for was already burned into my head. The trick was to find one in good shape and I didn't know about this club or eBay so I was going around to bike shops and looking in the paper etc. I even knew I wanted the two tone gold. I seen a few but they were in rough shape or the wrong colour or something just didn't feel right but one day, after 2 years of searching I saw an ad in a scooter shop only a couple of hours away so off I go. Took the navigator back the next day and we bought her. It was for sure the right choice and I still get a big grin every time we fire her up. Wayne
