  1. Yes the tire was balanced when it was put on about 1000 miles ago, and I'm leaving the weights on. Next time I'll probably remove the weights and start from scratch without the weights
  2. I left my wheel weights on as they were, but when I change the tire next time I will removed the weights and go with Ride-On first to see how it does on its own. I was out riding Saturday and on Sunday after using Ride-On I could feel a difference.
  3. My old First Gen would take the 1800 GoldWing in the first 1/8 mile, but after that the Wing pulled away.
  4. Well I put the Ride-On in the tires today and took the bike out for a spin. I rode about 15 miles with part of it was on the interstate at speeds above 70 and I may be imagining things, but it felt smoother first time out.
  5. I missed this earlier and just read this. I'm saddened to hear the news. Eddie was always fun to be around and a type of person you never forget once you met him.
  6. Welcome djadam to the group. Ride On is widely use by a lot of members and everyone seems to have had good results with it. Watch the video on the website that Carbon One provided and you see just how fast it seals a hole. Members here has performed that test by drilling holes in their old tires.
  7. I bought three bottles off eBay since that was the best prices. I would have paid just as for two as I was with three bottles. If I only use two bottles I'll have an extra bottle for later on.
  8. How many people only run 8 ozs of Ride On? The chart says the Venture should have 9 ozs, but it comes in 8 oz bottles. Should I buy three and go the extra ounces in or will 8 ozs work?
  9. If you win the lottery, I have a storage bill for you. But you must win first.
  10. Black sure looks good when it is clean but keeping it that way is work. I love my Midnight.
  11. I got to take a ride for a couple hours today and got in one pic with an old barn in the background for Eck. Hope this weather continues for a while.
  12. I'm good for the next two years, no use going back any more than I need to. And I never do 5 over so we're pretty safe there.
  13. I'm not that far south to ride all year like I would like to but we normally get at least into the 50's one or tow days each month all winter. Now that I'm retired I can take advantage of them days better.
  14. That's good news. It was in the low 30's here today but I took mine out today for a short trip just to keep it charged good. I was out earlier this month when it got into the 50's and have had mine on the road every moth this year.
  15. Winter may not be wanting to leave but I went for a ride this evening anyway. Felt Great!
  16. Sounds like just a vicious rumor. I got this email yesterday [TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD=align: center][TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD=align: center][TABLE=width: 100%] [TR] [TD=class: yiv7868923450bodyTitleContent, align: center]Story Claims That All Registered Motorcyclists Are On An FBI Gang List March 25, 2015[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: yiv7868923450bodyContent]My email has been blowing up with a story that is circulating on the internet, purportedly from the Washington Post, claiming that all registered motorcyclists in the U.S. are on an FBI gang list. The story goes on to say that motorcyclists are 67% more likely to be involved in illegal activity. This is not a Washington Post Story. I had my paralegal (who is an amazing cyber-sleuth) track it down. The story originated from a website called the National Report. This is a satirical website. It is a false story from a not so funny website. Lest anyone think motorcyclists are being specifically targeted on this website, here are some other headlines from the National Report: - Airline Announces Closed Circuit Porn Available on Domestic Flights - Sesame Street To Feature News Segment Sourced By Al Jazeera - ISIS Endorses Ted Cruz For President, Cites Government Shutdown - George Zimmerman Announces 2016 Presidential Bid I end this email in the spirit of M*A*S*H, one of my all-time favorite movies – “That is all” Matt Danielson McGrath & Danielson Tom McGrath’s Motorcycle Law Group 1-800-321-8968 Motorcyclelawgroup.com[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

  18. Retirement? I like that idea. I've been retired 13 months and love every minute of it.
  19. Thanks Eck, its just nice to be able to look back and remember them. I'll post a few pics shortly of some on the ones I have. I didn't remember them all but I did meet several of the over the years. May we never forget them
  20. Sorry for the problem, but I've owned a boat for 30+ and love it.
  21. I've been thinking about some of the past member that we have lost over the years. I just like to see some photos to reflect back on as we remember those who went before us. So if you have some photos of members, please post here...
