OK, I've ordered a new black Firestik FL3 antenna. I liked the slim stock look of the original antenna, but decided to dress up the old girl with a new fiberglass antenna. The original was a little over four feet, but this one is only three feet tall. I suppose if I don't like it I can always change it later. It will be nice to have the CB working as good as it can. I already have the new coax and connectors to connect it up with. Since I removed the Class control to get to the CB, I also will attempt the fix on the E4 code I've been getting. The tech section had a good description of how to do this fix too. I'll follow up later to let you know how everything is going...... Thanks to everyone who responded to this post.

Thanks Dave, Also, has anyone had any experience with the Firestik FL3 antenna on their scoots?
-
I only use it in group rides myself and sometimes on the highway to check traffic conditions. I'm wondering where I might find the best price on a Firestik antenna. Anyone have any ideas?
-
It was over 5:1 I been searching the firestik antennas and looking at the different mounting hardware....

Forward and Reflected power is your SWR reading. A poor antenna will reflect power from the antenna, this is called SWR.

I finally checked my CB antenna out this weekend and discovered I had just as much power going towards the radio as I did the antenna. No wonder it didn't work real well. Anyway I checked the radio with a good antenna on the truck and found about 2.5 watts output. So I am looking for a good place to buy another replacement for the bike. Does anyone have good information where to find a replacement? Probably will go with a Firestick.....

To clutch, or not to clutch. THAT is the question.

I use the clutch about 99.9% of the time. Occassionaly when I got a cup of coffee in my left hand I've not used the clutch, but other than that I would use it...... Although, I lost my clutch at the 1st Vogel and rode home without one. -
Very nice ride! I'm sure you are going to like it, safety first. And you are still going to feel the wind in your hair.....

It was a lot of Hard Work, but I'm really sad that it is over..... Let's do it again next year! West Virginia Skid-In II 2009 (the continuation)

SWMoto can't be beat. Saved me $40.00 on my rear tire last year compared to my local dealer. And the FREE shipping with two tires, I'll be ordering two tires next year.

Good pics Lew, sure sad it is all over.....

Thanks to everyone. I really need to Thank You! I can ride these roads every week, but without you all joining me this past weekend, it wouldn't have been the same. I am glad everyone had a good time, but You are the reason that it was so great. So Thank You for coming to the First West Virginia Skid-In. And yes, I think there will be a "West Virginia Skid-In II" (a continuation from this year) ...... ==================Skid:biker:

Thanks for coming, and we're glad you made it home safely. I'll save your spot for next year, but you do not have to wait till next year to use it again.

Lets Go! I got my reservations made this morning. I got a little Kabin in the shade. Looks like we'll be in the Kampground too. It was good to see Yammer back on the saddle again. As for fee, I will have to double what it was the last time because of the extra cost of fuel.....(zero doubled is still zero)
-
Sorry Dan, but it is official, wished you and Lina could have been here......
-
That is where you coming sliding in at...... either on your bike or your Saab.....
-
WOOHOO!

Thursday, June 26, 2008, is the first West Virginia Skid-In began! Tune in later for more details, pics, and more interesting stories, as the "Rest of the Story" will follow..... I am excited!
-
Not sure yet Lew, the poll shows approximate numbers in the low 20's, but that is probably closer to being a bike count..... so may double that. I'm already starting to see a few members showing up, so I'm getting all excited!
-
great news
-
We'll be waiting Dan, but unless you are coming tonight, I think a few Northerners has already beat you here..... Craig, Thanks for the offer, we'll see what happens. I'll wait to see if everyone is having a good time before passing the hat. As long as everyone has a great time riding, I figure it will be well worth it. I will get a little better after this first time. This will not match the great Vogel Rally, but he had a couple years to improve it. I hope to be in the extented four day Meet & Eat section. :GREEN:
