All I can say is that I sure hope you do not do any speedo removal while I am around.:yikes:

There is a good chance of that. I would like to paint the whole bike bright yellow to.

Well since I am violently allergic to beer I guess I'll have to do more wild women. I am leaning toward the HF trailer, I think I should be able to get most of my money back out of it if I can not make it suit my needs for the future. But it will work fine while I design and build my 'special' trailer.

New Time Estimate; Back to I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME ALREADY!! But then it can be amazing how fast things can get done when it comes down to crunch time.

I tried, city zoning and building codes will not allow it. They will not let me build a garage that I can park in either.:225:

Last night I scored a deal on a car topper from Craigslist. The guy has an old car topper that had been used once and was asking $25 for it just to get rid of it quick. After almost a week of us playing phone tag and email tag he finally sent me an email that If I can come tonight, I can have it for $FREE$. He just wants it gone. Needless to say I beat feet over there, and this thing looks almost like new. I stuffed it into the back of my truck and away I went with the goodies. Now I just have to decide quickly as to whether I should just get the HF trailer (the HF trailer is on sale for $179.95 till the end of this month) to put under this box, or build one from scratch. I know that it will cost a LOT more to build it from scratch, and take a lot more work and time, but I will have a much better trailer in the end that is exactly what I want/need.

I know that to many of you a 450 mile trip is just like a quick trip around the block. But for me this will the most monumental motorcycle trip I have ever conceived of. My one day record for riding was the 2009 WI MD where it was a 90 mile trip from my house to the site, then we went for about an 80 mile ride, then the 90 miles back home. OK so I'll never make an Iron butt, but I am in the running for a marshmallow butt award. The projects that must be completed before I can undertake this epic (to me) journey are; (in no particular order) 1. Repair HI-LO headlight switch. Done, it had a lot of crud/corrosion on the contacts. 2. Install trailer hitch on bike. FINALLY done with this one 3. Wire bike for trailer. Done 4. Build a trailer. Done. 5. Find and repair coolant leak. Done 6. Find and repair leak in rear tire. Hmmmm..... The leak seems to have gone away by itself. 7. Find a way to mount and wire my GPS. Got the electrical Done and just have to fab up some kind of mount. 8. All of the normal Spring maintenance that must be done before the first ride. Done and took a 80 mi shake down ride. 9. Repair storm damage to tent from the last time I used it, 4 years ago. Done, tent is good to go. 10. Grease rear wheel pins and install new HH rear pads. Got the brake pads changed, will save greasing for MD Wish list items; 11. Build and install receiver hitch for bike. The Receiver hitch is finally done, painted, and mounted for the last time. 12. Finish making my first run of valve shim tools. Finally the first new tool is finished. Making up the rest will be easy if this one actually works. 13. Would like to get a new full face helmet for the trip. Thanks to Mr BIG TOM I will have a new Helmet for the trip. 14. Buy and install driving/fog lights. I got the KC HiLites installed but they will have to stay with the stock halogen bulbs till I get more time after MD. So much to do and so little time left. Working on the bike is the hard part, it is kept in a tiny 8x10 storage shed that it has to share with all of the yard tools. I can not even put it up on the center stand in the shed and still be able to close the door, and I do have to be able to close and lock the door every night or the shed will be empty by morning. OK, I'll stop whining now.

Well, I just want to thank all of you cuz.....

And you call us and this site keeping your SANITY???? -
You mentioned it is light weight and easily scratched. Most groove pins are made of steel. Does this part stick to a magnet?
-
It looks like it might clean things up a little. I do not see where it will help your charging system at all.

By June 4th you will be plenty warm...... Now to start climbing back up the hill.

A guy goes to apply for a job. The interviewer asks him, "Are you allergic to anything?" He replies, "Yes, caffeine. I can't drink coffee." "Ok, Have you ever been in the military service?" "Yes," he says, "I was in Iraq for one tour." The interviewer says, "That will give you 5 extra points toward employment." Then he asks, "Are you disabled in any way?" The guy says, "Yes. A bomb exploded near me and I lost both my testicles." The interviewer grimaces and then says, "Okay. You've got enough points for me to hire you right now. Our normal hours are from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. You can start tomorrow at 10:00 am, and plan on starting at 10:00 am every day." The guy is puzzled and asks, "If the work hours are from 8:00 am to 4:00 PM, why don't you want me here until 10:00 am?" "This is a government job", the interviewer says. "The first two hours, we just stand around drinking coffee and scratching our balls. No point in you coming in for that."

Sooooooo theeeeen think of it this way. Guns (A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million) (B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups is 1,500. (which is ~10% of total gun deaths or 15,000 total) © The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0001875 Statistics courtesy of FBI So, statistically, doctors are approximately 900 times more dangerous than gun owners! Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.' FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, but almost everyone has at least one doctor. This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!

Why not? My grandmother is 97 and works with the church driving some of the "old" people that can't drive, to shopping or to mass.

The description for that float charger specifically states "Not for use on AGM batteries". Just something to keep in mind since some of us are using the AGM batteries.

Just remember that the Jeffs will have you outnumbered. Since the Jeffs will be managing the dunk tank, that means we get to decide who goes in it.

My guess is the plate means FAN MAN. WI only allows 5 characters on a MC plate. Now he needs to add a XLV.

I gots to git me one o dose.

I would be careful adding a lot of camp fuel to the gas. The camp fuel has less BTUs per gallon and much lower octane. It means that you will have less power so you will get harder on the throttle and then the reduced octane will want to knock holes in the pistons. I have done a lot of testing with camp fuel in gas engines. An engine will run fine on camp fuel if it is tuned for it, typically reduced compression, and/or retarded timing, and it needs to be a little richer.

No he will not be making an appearance at the Packer game. He has invited the ex Gov of WI and the defeated dem Gov hopeful to come to the white-house to watch the game with him. I will be rooting for the Pack simply because they are the best team at the Dallas snow bowl. GO PACK GO

To bad I was unable to pass the physical to get into the service. I did try. I would have straightened them out........ I did end up working for a military contractor and got the military to change the way they did a few things.

If you are able to determine that certain things in the sigs are slowing down the works, just let us know and I'll be happy to remove the "stuff" from my sig. My connection is so slow for everything that I never notice this or any site being slow. Even though we have a T1 line it still has to squeeze 50 computers thru a 10 meg hub for the whole company. Our T1 line ends up close to dial-up speed.

There is no way to stop it unless you can really find the true source. I was able to track one of them down to a friend that had her Yahoo mail account password hacked. They then logged into her yahoo email and sent the messages to people in her contacts. The emails always were sent to a group of 5 people from her contacts. The only way that I was able to determine where it originated was from the 5 names selected, there was only one person that could have possibly known all 5 people. It is NOT her computer that was hacked, just the password to her yahoo account, and the scum bags logged directly into her account. When they were done they went into her sent folder and deleted their tracks. I found those sent emails in her trash folder. All that I had to do was to change her yahoo password to a stronger one, and the messages from her have stopped. My yahoo account was also hacked once, I even sent emails to myself, and when they were done they deleted all of my contacts. I now keep a backup of my contacts and a strong password that gets changed regularly. Yahoo is aware of this problem and is working on a fix. Yahoo told me that there are bots that just keep pounding with random passwords till they get in. I asked if they had anyone on staff that had any programing experience, since it should be quite easy to to put a limit on the number of wrong passwords per day that can be used.

I thought it was just Texas being hospitable to the Packers and wanting them to feel at home.

I'm just watching the news. Dallas has the exact same temp as Milwaukee. We sent that weather down with the Packers so that they would not get homesick.
