Cool

This whole thing is still driving me crazy, And you all know that is a very short drive ..... OK I think I spotted the issue. Yesterday I was out of town all day till around 7:00pm when I logged in here. The last time I was on line was 7:00pm the day before. BUT when I logged in at 7:00 pm up in the top left corner where it says welcome, it said my last visit was at 9:31am on that morning. I was no where near a computer and am sure that I did not log in. So the first thing I did was to change my VRO password. Then after thinking about it some more, I remembered that I did make a phone call around that time. I wonder if something on my phone like Tapatalk did a quick login to this site and in doing so reset my last visited time. So I did uninstall Tapatalk and low and behold when I logged in this morning it did show all of the posts since my last visit last night and it had the correct time of my last visit. I'll run as is for a few days to see if it really was my cell phone logging in all by its self that was causing my issues.

I would kill for 23 degrees right now or even 16. Its -17 here at work and it is still dropping. Unfortunately butts do not freeze off, but other parts do:whistling: But it is supposed to get hot out by the end of the week, they are saying we might even get above freezing. I thought we were very clear to all of them canuks to keep the back door closed and keep all of their air up there. They obviously have not listened very well. Yes we do get extremes here, the annual temp spread is around 140 degrees from the coldest to the hottest. And with those great lakes we have no problems generating humidity just to make it more fun. But it is still better than down south.

Ahhhhh, the good old days........

And why were you checking the balls of the bullfrogs???????

Earl it pains me to hear this news. Erika and thoughts and prayers go out to Jean, you and your family.

In the case of tech giants, you mean if it ain't broke, fix it till it is broke.

Not nearly enough. Only around 6-7K per year. I am hoping to do better this year.

So what is it with always needing another gallon of milk and loaf of bread for bad weather??? Erika went shopping today and said every one had shopping carts full of bread and milk?

:sign yeah that:

AND good parts... But then there are a lot of people that build various things for no purpose other than to look at or just the fun of the build. Some people like creating things that are a work of art, those same people may not be able to enjoy riding, so they make art. Then there are those that simply have more money than they know what to do with and the cost is irrelevant. I learned a long time ago to not fault others because there hobbies or interests/preferences within a hobby are different than mine. Who knows, now that the concept is out there, some manufacturer may pick up on it and come out with a production centerless wheel bike. I see it in the RC hobby all the time. First someone cobbles something new up in the basement, then others see it and copy the idea and make improvements, then a manufacturer puts it in production, next thing you know it is mainstream and everyone is doing it.

When did you take that pic of Dons bike?????

Its gonna git colder then that in the next few days.........

I agree, I want the guy calling the shots to get their first. Where ever their happens to be. Most if not all new airliners either have are are very close to having the technology on board to make a complete flight with no pilot on board. I do not think the the airlines would be able to sell any seats on a flight with no pilot, and the FAA is no where near ready to consider allowing such a thing. But a modern pilot has very little to do during a flight, the flight computers are already doing everything. Some airlines even forbid the pilot to turn off the auto pilot except in an emergency. The auto pilot will give a smoother ride for the passengers than any pilot can do manually.

I just finished cleaning up my keyboard and monitor, don't you go getting me to drooling......

I was not expecting the last few scenes. Now I have to clean my keyboard and monitor....... :rotfl: :rotfl: The technology available over the counter right now is quite amazing (and scary) and one of the reasons that camera equipped RC is on the verge of being outlawed in the USA without a special license.

But I'll still take him in the twisties.........or by mile 2.....

Here is one of the better explanations. http://www.instructables.com/id/When-a-Phillips-is-not-a-Phillips/step10/JIS-Japanese-Industrial-Standard/ The biggest issue is the root radius on the driver. Because the Phillips has a big root radius and the JIS is fairly sharp, the Phillips driver is really only going halfway into the JIS screw head before the radius hits. You are now trying to apply torque via the radius near the center of the tool and that is why it strips out so easy. The JIS driver used in a Phillips screw will still be driving at the outer tips to transfer maximum torque.

If you are rarely hitting 3500 - 4,000 RPM you are lugging the engine. 3500 - 4000 is where it like to cruise at and acceleration like to be closer to 5000. Especially with a big sidecar or trailer. When pulling a trailer I seldom let it get below 4000. These engines LIKE to rev, you wont hurt it any. Not all 1200s had the 6 spring setup. I thought is was only the 83s. I am not sure if you can swap over a clutch basket from the 83 to a newer bike with out also making some other changes. The older setup with the 6 springs will also slip when the springs get old and tired. The easiest thing to do is to just replace your spring with Skydocs_17s heavier duty one. As long as you have not been slipping for so long that you have now worn out the clutch. A micrometer will tell you if the plates are worn out. New plates are 3mm (0.1181 inch) thick, worn out is 2.8mm (0.1102 inch) thick. If the steels are blue they should be replaced.

I only buy JIS screw drivers now. A JIS driver will work perfectly in a Phillips screw but a Phillips driver will not work well in a JIS screw.

I would not think that any state requires collision or comp. BUT most do require liability to pay for any damage that is your fault. In Wisconsin you can either have liability insurance or post a $60K bond as proof of financial responsibility. If you cause an accident anywhere, you can pretty much count on getting sued for damages unless you have deep enough pockets to cover the bills.

Even if there is no power available for a motion sensing light, you can always go solar. I have this HF light in my back yard. It has a battery that charges during the day and a motion sensor to turn it on when needed at night. You could even attach it with double sided tape to not modify the buildings.

Can't be a Hardly, this thing flies....

Install a motion activated light on the house and/or garage? Many alarm systems turn on running lights when you arm or disarm via the remote. A bunch of options here http://www.ebay.com/bhp/remote-control-relay-12v

Would love to. But the snow is so deep I cant even get to the building that the bike is in, let alone get it out. It just started snowing again at 3 this afternoon (Tuesday), it is not going to stop snowing till Thursday.
