  1. Absolutely find the cause of the chaffing... Then re-route the wire to avoid any occurrence in the future.. Is it on the right side and being pinched when the handle bars are turned as far to the right as possible? If so, I have seen this same issue before and in fact fixed a pinched wire in this location at one of the Vogel rallies years ago. My 05 had a pinched wire also in same area.
  2. Just looking at the photo makes it very hard to tell without knowing a part number, make or model of it. Are you going to use it for a air or fuel pump? Edit; Just thought here... You could spray the entire thing using a can of that $3.00 truck bed liner spray stuff or a $2.00 can of auto undercoating spray to seal it all up from the elements. 1st, mask off the wire connectors and hose attach points, spray it, then remove the masking. Once you installed the wires, you can do a touch up using a small paint brush to apply a light coating over the connectors...(just a thought)
  3. Wonder what a WING would look like....hummmm....

    Hey Skid

    Thought you would enjoy this Skid. A Teenager writes police officer a ticket for illegal parking. Found this on another site, but some VR folks would not have seen it. http://local21news.com/news/features...l#.UzBiCvldWTQ

  7. Bert, I don't think he knows how to reduce the file size, and that is why he is having troubles posting them. Heck, I'm not certain I know how..ha Email has been sent to him with my home email address and phone number to help him. Eck update info: Freebird posted this a while back http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1859 Although the site now has automatic image resizing for profile pics, avatars, and images posted in the threads, it is NOT a fool proof system. If your images are HUGE...there could be time out problems before the pic is resized. Also, auto resizing does not work in the vBPicGallery at this time. There are many programs out there for resizing images but if you use Windows XP...there are NONE easier than the one at the following link. Once you install this little program, all you have to do is open the folder where your pictures are saved, right click on the file name and choose "resize" from the context menu. A box will open up with options. The default option is 640 x 480 and that is the one you want to use. Just click "OK" and it will save your picture at the proper size and resolution to upload. It will NOT write over your original picture...it will save it as a new picture with the same file name except "small" at the end. This program will not create a new icon on your desktop or anywhere else...it will simply create a new link in the right click context menu. This is the ONLY thing I use now for resizing pictures. It is simple and very effective. So...just click on the following link. Scroll down until you see "Image Resizer" in the right menu, download and install. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...#2TC=powertoys
  8. Any chance of posting some part numbers and or pictures to help to identify exactly what you are speaking of? Sure would help to get you a proper answer. If you are not sure how to post the pictures let me know and I will help you
  9. 6 x 10 works.. however you will find you wish you would have gotten a 6 x 12 for a little more room... Here is a 6 x 12 with my old RSV inside it, to give you an idea of how much room you will have.
  10. Would need 12 volts to operate it. I'm going to go with a case of air horns from the dollar store for now. Those things are LOUD!!!!!! I had my mom get my dad a few of these air horns to use near his last days. He could not get out of bed and he could not yell or call for my mom at the other end of the house. He had very little to no lungs left from Emphysema. All he had to do was push the button and my mom would come running..(so would the neighbors)..
  11. I'd be willing to bet on that...
  12. In getting back to the discussion of Storm shelters.....

  14. If it's doomsday, I would rather just pass on than live anyway.. I figure there wont be much left but a lot of starvation, robberies, killings and suffering anyway. Truly NOT the life style I would want to live in. Heck, wouldn't be able to ride a scooter either.. Well, yes and no on the basement....
  15. I have come to the conclusion that inquiring about a storm shelter is like buying a motorcycle. So many choices, types, styles, pros & cons...etc... It sure makes one go nuts in making a final decision........... Getting one installed March 31st though...
  16. Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!" Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one." ========================================= Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and asks the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?" The man said, "I do, Father." The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall." Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?" Certainly, Father," the man replied. "Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest. Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and asked, "Do you want to go to heaven?" O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father." The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?" O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die , yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now." ============================================== Paddy was in New York . He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, "Okay, pedestrians." Then he'd allow the traffic to pass. He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk. After the cop had shouted, "Pedestrians!" for the tenth time, Paddy went over to him and said, "Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?" =============================================== An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut . The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car. He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?" "Just water," says the priest. The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?" The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it again!" ================================================= Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with the little woman." "Oh yeah?" said Charlie, "And how did this one end?" "When it was over," Mike replied, "She came to me on her hands and knees." "Really," said Charles, "Now that's a switch! What did she say?" She said, "Come out from under the bed, you little chicken." =================================================== Patton staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Kathleen. He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful. Managing not to yell, Patton sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood. He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed. In the morning, Patton woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Kathleen staring at him from across the room. She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?" Patton said, "Why do you say such a mean thing?" "Well," Kathleen said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly.....it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.
  17. Vogel rally...5 yrs ago (I think), maybe 6 yrs ago...at a restaurant called : Cook Country Kitchen.. 105 Pat Haralson Memorial Drive Blairsville, GA

  19. Happy Birthday Kenny. Keep going and you will be catching up to me soon....
  20. A must see ..since are that close.. It is a 275 mi ride from flagstaff... takes 4 hours 25 mins. Mesa Verde National Park http://www.visitmesaverde.com/
  21. Paint job looks great Don. I will be painting mine to match my GW soon also.. One thing I suggest is to think about making an easy "snap on / snap off" mud flap when pulling the Bushtec. Even if it attaches to the front of trailer tongue Stones will nick the front bra up really fast on that trailer if it isn't protected.
