So you were able to find someone that knows how to make Mexican food down there huh?

Were the tattoos and the drunk part related? Glad you made it there in one piece with the kids. Your car is still mostly in one piece...... Well it since you posted here, it seems that you have not completely melted into a puddle yet. Have fun down there.

Because the young males are used to getting raped and there are more of them.

Well it was not as bad as I thought to recreate my thread. Woo Hoo I am the first to post in the new section.

When you created a classified, it also created a thread with the description from the add. Some of those have conversations on them. Is it possible to get that created thread moved to the new forum and then we just have to add the pics and some details but would retain the conversation?

The classifieds are still there, just none of the features work anymore. So you can go to your old add and copy/paste to create your new add. You will have to reload any pics.

Back lighting them would be very tricky, not impossible just very tricky. As mentioned you could rig up a small LED lamp to shine on them but would have to have it located so it did not also shine in your eyes. Another option that might work if you have a steady hand and a very fine brush and a bit of artistic talent, is to paint over the lettering with glow in the dark paint. My truck has all illuminated switches, but it not take real long driving it that my fingers just know where the switches are, My Venture does not have illuminated switches and fingers still know where they are. I do not look at switches on my bike or truck day or night.

I seem to have found a glitch. I was trying to edit the price in my classified and when I hit the save button at the bottom I get - The new price and other edits do not show up at all.

:sign yeah that: I am running XP Pro SP2 and Firefox 52.9.0 and it had zero issues with the transition to https. Had this thread never been here I probably would have never noticed that extra "s" in the address bar.

We may have to put together a reconnaissance run to the other side of the big pond to check up on that ol @cowpuc. You know we all loves ya, you aint sneaking outa here that easy.

Try squirting in some lock lube. Is there a lot of stuff in there, some thing hung up on the latch inside?

:sign yeah that: I could have sent some along with him for the 14 hour trip with 2 small children in tow, BUT somehow I doubt they would get past the TSA. for carry on and would get picked up for sure in the baggage screening.

Well since the Chinese have no problem printing "Made in USA" on the stuff they make, I do not see what will stop them from sticking a DOT on their LEDs. Is there a DOT website that you can look stuff up to see if it really is approved?

WOW! But one has to ask, does all that stuff really need to be replaced? Is something expensive being replaced due to a tiny scratch that you might never notice if left as is? Would it be more cost effective to sand out a scratch and repaint the part? I can see where it those prices it would not take much of a crash to total it out once it is a couple years old. At least a 1st gen can take a nap either left or right, with wheels off the ground and not have anything worse than a scratch to the corner of the fairing. DON'T ask how I know this..........

Ooohhhh yea!! Nuttin better!! Unfortunately the one beach around here where that is legal is closed to allow a new road, parking lot, and "changing rooms" to be put in.

At least they use Celsius down there so when they report the temperatures it will at least sound like it is cool out.

I understand all that, but even that dry heat can often be fatal, more so than extreme cold. It is a wonderfull event, you dont know what you are missing. I feel sorry for you to have never experienced one, they are so much fun. If all else fails go to your local DQ and ask them....................

Put some chalk or powder on the sidewall of the tire to see if it is rubbing all the way around or just in one spot. If just in one spot there may be a deformity in the tire. Possibly a slight defect? Possibly not fully seated on the rim? Possibly a bent rim?

I still do not buy the "dry heat" argument. It may be dry heat but people are still dropping dead from it. There are a lot more people and animals that die from dry heat than from frigid cold. just my personal opinion.......... Come on SNOW!!!!

I feel sorry for you just because that is nasty. But you can keep that nonsense down there. I'll take a good old blizzard over that heat any day.

In my classified add I just dropped the price for VR.org members to only 1800. I also lowered the price on Facebook, Cycletrader and Craigs. I still have no clue what to replace it with yet. I hate to go shopping and find something I like and have to pass cuz I got nowhere to put it yet.

WOW I just looked at the spreadsheet, I have the one and only 1988 California Standard Venture.

I loved my Desert Eagle in 50AE. It was a blast to shoot (pun intended). You do have to have very good shooting form, If you do not do it right the recoil can hurt you bad. There is a warning in the owners manual that says "CAUTION: locking your elbows WILL result in broken wrist", or something to that effect. That Desert eagle was my carry gun when tracking wounded deer, it could easily drop a deer at 100 yards. It also could stop a bear that decided it it would like to have lunch with me, as the main course. It lived under my pillow while wilderness camping. I had to sell it when I was desperate for cash and have regretted it ever since. I am now looking to buy another one, or maybe trade my Venture for one. But in the interim of when I sold my DE and now the S&W .500 came out, and that has me totally intrigued as being my deer and bear stopper.

Pretty simple, You just need 2 jumpers. Jumpers are shown in red in the attached pic. First jumper can be any small insulated wire. It goes from the pad by the D20 mark to the copper area that has the CN1 marking on it. This wire will make the CMU stop telling you that the hi beam bulb is out. The other jumper just goes across the 2 wide circuit runs, this one needs to be a heavier gauge of wire since it will be carrying the full current of the high beam. This jumper is the one that will make the Hi beam be functional. This is just a WAG on my part. I wonder if someone had put in one of those really HIGH wattage bulbs to try to get more light, I know You can get bulbs up over 100W, This much power could melt things, That coil is likely the thinnest wire in the circuit so it acted as the fuse. Check you headlight fuse to be sure it was not jumpered or replaced with a higher amp one. Something made that coil burn up, about the only thing that can burn up a coil of wire is sustained high amps. also check the wiring to be sure none of it is damaged where that Hi Beam wire might be able to short to ground. You need to do some looking to see if you can find a reason that coil burned up. Next time it might not be an easy, and cheap fix. To get the screw mounting point back just epoxy that corner back on and maybe add bit of something NON CONDUCTIVE (like a Popsicle stick) over the crack for support.
