    I guess now that I think about it, I have never ordered from them online. I have always called the order in. While I am talking to them I always make them go and verify stock. I do that to most venders. I don't trust all of this modern impersonal computer ordering BS. I did the same thing with tires I just ordered this week, I made the poor guy go out to the warehouse and check the date codes, he came back and said they had some from this year and some a few years old, I then said that those new ones are the date codes I will be expecting. Had I just ordered on line I most likely would have just gotten the old ones. I sure hope this all works out for you.

    Look at the "ballast" there should be info printed on it that lists both the input power and the output power. Let us know what the output power is, We mainly need to know the voltage and whether it is AC or DC. Did you check the LED with the continuity meter and then try reversing the leads and check it again?

    Finally, the abridged, paperback version of the book; "Understanding Women, Vol. 1" Is available in book stores.....

    It looks like now you need a headlight too.

    Hmmmm.... I never tried to eat ice cream while riding..... The only time I park with the bike in gear is if I am parking on a hill that is steep enough for the side stand to slide backwards. NEVER park with the front pointed down the hill. I have seen vehicles still roll slowly down the hill, even when left in gear, slowly turning the engine over. All ringed engines leak compression over time.

    Sounds kind of like when we had a discussion about running into a hungry bear in the woods and that no human can out run a bear. I explained to my hunting buddy, "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to out run you.":whistling:

    I think that what we need here is more info from Barend. What kind of LED are you using and what are you trying to do with it? There are a bunch of different answers that we can give depending on what you are doing.

    It is obviously easier than taking a pic of block and foundation work. :stickpoke: That offset you have is why the wire gets put in, so that when, not if, the concrete cracks it helps to keep the edges level. Using the right mix and right prep work will make it take longer before it cracks, but it will eventually crack. Nature will eventually erase all signs of human civilization from this planet. Only a few fossils will survive nature. I poured my slab 30 years ago and it just got its first crack 2 years ago. The wire has kept the edges perfectly level so far. Because of the site situation my slab varies from 2.5 inches thick at one end to 14 inches thick at the other end. It is the thick end that has the crack, go figure. It was to long ago and I could not tell you what mix or specification of concrete I ordered. Wisconsin winters are not gentle to much of anything and I am quite happy with how it has lasted.

    LEDs are not like a regular bulb. Unlike a regular bulb LEDs are polarity sensitive. If you hook an LED up backwards nothing bad will happen, it just will not light. Switch the wires around and see if that makes it light. Also as TD'sTD said, make sure it is a 12V LED or it will only light for a VERY VERY short split second, once only.

    OK. Now that you mention it, if you pause while the P/U is right next to the bike you can see the reflection of the scenery, but no reflection of the bike or its 2 riders. There is also never a reflection of the P/U in the visor or sunglasses of the bike driver. I could just be the angles were wrong, but you should have seen something somewhere.

    That was just a suicidal biker. If you watch close you see him lean and swerve toward the oncoming vehicle. Had they made contact, this vid would prove it was the bikers fault. Watch the white line on the road, it appears to be near the edge of the road that is on the bikes right. That oncoming vehicle had 2 wheels off the road avoiding the bike.

    I have made a number of purchases from them. On one of the purchases they contacted me to be sure that I really wanted what I ordered. It turned out that I ordered the wrong thing and they were able to change my order to what I really needed. While they are a little slow to ship, It normally took 3-4 business days from the shipping notification to the package actually showing up in the tracking number. I have had nothing but good customer service from them. I sure hope that this is not a company going downhill, they have a few items I would like to get someday. I hope this is just a temporary supplier issue. I do understand supply issues. Where I work we get caugt in the same mess all the time. Our supplier is out of stock and we have orders to fill, Our supplier promises us a delivery date, so we tell our customers when to expect delivery of our product. Then the parts do not come in and everyone down the line is POed, we are poed we can not ship our product, our customer is poed because they can not fill their comtract and that customer is poed that there stuff is not done. If that original supplier is the only one that makes that part, then everyone down the chain is SOL, and that original supplier don't care.

    I'll bet it feels good to be back riding:900[1]: Is the steel plate permanent?

    I have been on that new diet and fitness plan where you eat more ice cream and watch more TV........ It has not been working out to well for other than my right arm getting stronger from all of the shoveling. But then this weekend small game hunting opens so I will be taking about a 4-6 hour walk thru heavy dense cover and carrying a heavy semi auto shotgun, plus at least a box of shells, plus food and water for both me and the dog, at least twice a week. This is the time of year that I always loose weight. My personal record for a one day hike thru the woods was 26.2 miles as logged by my GPS. I slept good that night. One of my hunting buddies wives came with us once, she walks 2-3 miles every day on city sidewalks, she lasted about 400 yards thru these woods and was exhausted to the point we had to help her back to the truck. She will never call us a wuss again when we come back from hunting and say we covered 2 miles in a day. I do my weight gains in the summer, there are a lot of DQs around here...... OK so no one ever was able to accuse me of being normal in any way......

    There is also a 5 year span in when they were tested. I can believe that how well the carbs are adjusted could make a 2HP difference. I would not be surprised to see two identical bikes with consecutive serial numbers have a 2 hp difference.

    Here is how to do the upper reflector on the trunk. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41588

    Forget about gluing anything to it.

    But I don't see any objects in your mirror........ Maroon is the fastest color..

    Sounds like a perfect time to figure out how to add a few hundred LEDs and then let us know how you did it. My bottom reflector is just crying for some light.

    If thats your own back yard thats cheating......... My photographic mind is just fine. But you may not want to see what all is stored up there in the pornographs....

    Glad to hear that you are for the most part OK and should heal well. Bikes are easier to fix than bones. So did you even use the front brake at all for the rest of the trip? With that little bit of rain we had yesterday, being the first rain in almost a month, all of the oil that had accumulated on the roads became very slick especially the center of the lanes. There were crashes everywhere with cages losing it. Yesterday something made me take the truck to work for the first time in over a month. durring my commute I had to make hard evasive manuvers 6 times in 40 miles to avoid stupid cages. Glad I was not on the bike. I would have hated to have to make a panic stop or hard swerve on those slick roads. Just seeing how people reacted to rain, I cant wait till the flies.

    I know where there are a few also. There is one that I know of where they rescued the top of a church steeple from a church that was being torn down. They had the whole thing transported in one piece to there yard some how and had it mounted on a foundation to make a big gazebo. Now I just need to add the camera to the bike and take a ride out there before some one beats me to it. I can see that I am going to have to acquire another camera to keep on the bike. I have one at work one at home and one in the truck. wouldn't you know every time I move one, that is the one I wish I had.......
