    .........and in a few weeks we will be hearing about how you body slammed Yammer Dan....... I have not been back in a gym since I broke my leg playing racket ball 12 years ago. I have been thinking of rejoining the club, I did enjoy beating the snot out of that poor little blue ball.

    The "reduced rate" is the most effective collection scheme there is. They can and will agree to anything over the phone. As soon as you tell them to send you a written copy of the new deal, the deal is off. Unfortunately it is very common to lie over the phone to the debtor. The collection agency gets a percentage of anything they collect, even a partial collection. The can even send you an unsigned letter and will deny it later claiming that you typed it up yourself. Do not deal with someone that calls you, get a persons name, company name and number to call back. You should be able to google the info to see if it is the hospital or a collection agency You want to deal only with the hospital, the collection agency does not have authority to change your contract with the hospital. As you talk to them get all agreements in writing and signed by someone with the authority to make the deal or the deal does not exist.

    As proven by the knot on your head, she was right.

    I have never heard of an improper battery monitor job taking out the whole CMS. Just the battery monitor circuit. Not sure what that phantom connector is but there are some connectors in the harness that are unused due to options that were not installed when the bike was built.

    Just another thought. If you have the ability to replace this chip, then you would also have the ability to add the resistor on the circuit board from pin 1 to a +12V circuit run to make it a permanent fix. Hmmmmmm........ What if while replacing the chip you cut the circuit run that goes from the connector to pin one and add in a 6.0V Zener diode so that it will not matter if the wire is used with the probe as designed or connected to +12V. Would it really be that easy?

    Melting point is where the engine falls out. It you reach that temp call the fire dept cuz your garage is on fire. Deflection temp is where things can start to move. Kind of like when you heat steel with a torch to bend it, it doesn't melt but it does get softer. Delrin does the same thing, it gets softer with heat. What I do not know is how hot do the engine mounts get on a 110° degree day, and at what temp will the Delrin start to deflect over time. From the info that Condor posted it looks like we should be OK with the Delrin. I was just looking at McMaster that said the max operating temp was 180°F, it seems that DuPont rates it higher at 210. http://plastics.dupont.com/plastics/dsheets/delrin/DELRIN100NC010.pdf

    And at the pond monster motel there may just be some other culinary treats for the after riding hours snacking pleasure...... Rstacy is probably the only one on this site that understands what I am talking about. But a new tradition is about to be released onto the VR.org community. And I am certain that this will not be available at the Oberlin or QI. It is my own secret recipe.

    Check with your state DMV. Some vehicles the plate stays with the vehicle and some you keep the plates. What you have in your bill of sale looks good except you need to add the VIN number and describe all parts that are included that are not part of the bike. I would also ad a time of sale. Add 2 signature lines, one for you and one for the buyer. Make 2 copies and you and the buyer sign both copies so you each have a signed copy of the same thing. The deal does not have to be done at the DMV, once the title is signed and exchanged for "CASH ONLY" (do not accept anything but CASH unless you know the buyer) it is no longer your problem. If you are going to conduct the deal at the DMV then you will be responsible to get the bike there and yourself back home after the deal. Do NOT let the buyer ride the bike there while it is still yours. Do not let the buyer take the bike for a test ride. If he wrecks it, it is now your problem. You have no idea if he really has the skill to handle a bike this big. If the state does not require you to leave the plates on the bike, DO NOT leave the plates on the bike. I once sold a car and 6 months later it was involved in a hit and run, the police tracked it back to me via the VIN number, I handed the LEO the recipt that said I sold it and he said thank you and was on his way. The guy that bought the car never registered or plated it.

    There's no one there. To late again.

    Yup, sounds like she got grandpa wrapped around her little finger.........

    I sure wish some of the loud pipes around here would get charged with something. There are a lot of bikes running straight pipes with NO baffling at all. On a quiet night you can literally hear them for miles and the windows rattle in their frames when they go past the house. While terrorism is a little extreme of a charge, they should be charged with something.

    My only concern with the Delrin motor mounts would be temperature. Delrin is rated for -20° to 180°F. The engine has a 190°F thermostat. I have no idea how hot the motor mounts may get in real life. Heck I ain't even sure WHERE the motor mounts are. Never looked for them. Does someone have a way to measure the temps of the motor mounts after a good run on the highway? If not, and if I get the bike back on the road next week, I will try to check some temps in the area of the mounts. These temps would be in 40° air temps so they may be hotter in the summer and southern heat.

    Steve You/we needed video. I would have gone back for the battery........ Just grab them firmly by the neck and they calm right down..........

    The local rag may have let the word out since the ran an article about the incident that they got from the police reports. So the jerks may know to lay low for a while. This weekend I will get the SD card out of the camera to see what the pics look like. In theory the SD card is good for 10 days of pics at 1 per minute. But since no one knows the camera is there I have to do it in the dark when no one is around. I have it mounted 24 feet up in a tree overlooking the whole parking lot. The pics are not great but they were taken at 10PM. The cam is right at the top of the ladder.

    Now you all done it. My membership was going to expire this weekend. This reminded me to renew for another year. So now you all have to put up with me for another whole year plus a couple of days. You had your chance to be rid of me, but you messed up with this thread....... Thanks Don for all you do to make this site great. I used to run a site so I know just how much work it really is.

    Drat, somehow I missed that one. Never-mind........
