Tarp sizes are the size of the material before they fold, sew, and grommet the edges. If you are having one custom made be sure that you and the maker are on the same page that you are specifying finished dimensions.

So what is for dinner tonight???

I got down rite balmy here yesterday. Had to break out the speedo and head for the beach. It got all the way up to 47°F, that feels real warm this time of year. Pics omitted since this is a PG forum and I did not want to have to supply everyone with concentrated sulfuric acid to try to cleanse the image from their brains........ Well ok maybe we really did not head for the beach, but it felt like we could have......

If the corrugations are run horizontal, especially near the top wont there be an issue of it holding snow, and even rain. Rain would leave little puddles in the valleys of the corrugations, the standing water will be a breeding ground for skeeters, alge would grow, and over time the water will find a way thru the seams. Sticks and other debris would want to stay up there too. The snow would just keep building and not be able to slide off. I would be worried about buildup exceeding the weight capacity of that light structure. You just know that I can not resist sending a good snow there once in a while......... OK back to my corner for another bout of double secret probation......

So just pick it up and forget to mention it to her, then duck................

As mentioned it all depends on how much you ride. I rarely wear out a tire and replace them due to age. so for me that tire would be only worth half as much as a new fresh tire. When I order tire I always confirm the date of the tires I will receive before I place the order. If the seller will not do that, I will pay more to get them else wear. I have heard of tires being sold that had already timed out.

To me that sounds like a really good reason to jump on the bike and go for a ride in search of 4 more screws......... I'm sure they are at least 100 miles away.................

I have to ask, WHY did you keep the security screws in there? Those are one of the main reasons people get new screws??? Or am I just old and not interpreting this correctly?

Only 11 inches???? I must be getting soft in my old age. I would normally make that an even foot or 18 inches. I like round numbers. I will have to go out and check the sync on the nozzles, efficiency seems to be a bit off............

Rodney Are you on a computer, a tablet or a phone. It seems that most people with phones and tablets have issues in chat. My phone is all but useless in chat.

We just set a record for consecutive days of snow at 9. How could that depress anyone???? :confused24:

You can paint all of it except for the fins. putting paint on the fins will reduce the cooling ability. Painting the tanks and brackets will make it purdyer.

See Don, I saved you from a squatting Cowpuc............................

Good thing I have a 1st gen and most of you have 2nd gens, you'll never catch me............... I also have the stock of RUM Balls to confuse the 1st gens that might still be following me............... Besides, you don't need the tar, I already have the feathers...............

I know a person that swears by the TP oil filters as being the best thing possible for oil filtration. He is also the same person that cusses at the new cars with their crappy engines that are completely worn out in 60-70K miles.

Even better would be if there was also a taser built into the seats. You could then sell tickets to watch the show. I have used a square wave generator and an ignition coil more that once to control unwanted activities............

I still use it every winter. Still working like new. Casters are still fine.

You mean like this one? http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?89136-My-pre-winter-project

I take it that you do not stay at the Pond Monster Inn........Where the god stuff happens...........

Yes one could do away with all of the safety features, it is easy to do. But that will make the bike a lot less safe to ride, and is not recommended. With all of the safeties out, you could engage the starter while in gear on the side stand, or the electric fuel pump will keep pumping if the bike is on its side, and all kinds of other silly oh $hit oopies.

Maybe even RUM Balls..............

That many different thing having the same issue is almost always a bad ground. Clean all of the grounds even if they look good. Not just the terminal either, look at the crimp, I have see corrosion where the wire goes into the terminal. The only way to fix that is a new terminal.

Slipping clutch is not normal in any gear at any speed. BUT a slipping clutch IS common. It is also very easily fixed. Ol @cowpuc was right in that it is a weak spring your bike does not have the 6 coil springs like Pucs bike has, you have the single diphragm spring. You can get a new heavier duty spring from Member @skydoc_17 in the classified section. You will also need a right engine side cover gasket. If you do the job on the side stand and the oil is not over filled you do not even have to drain the oil (unless it is due for a change anyhow). It is a simple job that can be done in a half hour if you have done it before, or 45 minutes to an hour if you never did it and about 3 hours if you have experienced help and pizza. As for the clutch plates, until you inspect them there is no way to know if they are still good or not, New friction discs measure 3mm (0.1181 inch) thick and the wear limit it 2.8mm (0.1102 inch) thick.

I am hoping to be there again, Even if it is in the truck, again.
