  1. So sorry Dan.. My condolences to you and the whole family
  2. James, When it comes to Harley rear lights on a RSV or RSD, I have to once again mention the best looking HD rear light assembly I have ever seen, is the set of rear Harley lights that Davecb has on his RSV. Davecb can be located in the Alabama community section and you could maybe send him a p-email asking him what part number HD light assembly he has on his or see if he can send/post a photo for you to see.. If I ever went back to a RSV, I would spend many a night searching for a rear light set like he has.
  3. Dan, My heart is with her, you and your whole family. Prayers sent.
  4. Don't want to let you down, but it looks very slim at this time. PS: forget the two roads I mentioned for they are not paved...
  5. Lewis, Check out chatahoochie river road...and Tray Mountain road for a possible venture / excursion
  6. To many law suits on the rhino.... http://www.fairwarning.org/2010/09/yamaha-rumbles-into-rough-terrain-battling-lawsuits-over-its-rhino-off-road-vehicle/ Another article: http://www.fairwarning.org/2011/04/yamaha-rolls-to-another-victory-in-defense-of-embattled-rhino/
  7. Cant wait to see that big guy sitting on that 1st gen..
  8. Ive been to Angel city. Before the SUn set it was a great place.. However, right after the sun set, the MOON's came out and then many other protruding parts of the human anatomy appeared... It didnt take but a minute for my wife to notice and she looked at me and said it was time to go......... We left and it was around 7pm...just when it was about to get good...
  9. Lewis, For what it means,,,, I wish you a year of being totally pain free, and full of great health. Hope to ride with you again soon my friend!!
  10. Lewis, I cant afford all that fancy stuff..I just let my speakers do the work..
  11. Happy Birthday Rhonda Hope you enjoyed your day. You were the only one who remembered mine...
  12. I'm sorry, but the photo (to me) appears to be material of leather, not plastic.. If you are certain it is plastic, you can use a pencil type soldering iron and mold the plastic back together. You can also add more plastic if you need to by using a piece of your push around trash can by cutting a small piece (1"x1") from the overhang of the lid. Who cares its only trash can...use this piece as you heat up the broken section and melt the plastic from this 1x 1 ' piece to fill the void. Heat the void. Use the soldering iron to carefully smoothe out the voids. This is better than gluing. Take the pencil soldering iron and create a "V" between the mating piece and fill the voids with the extra plastic. Smooth it out using the soldering iron.. wha-lah.. Sand and paint to your liking..
  13. There are those who ride that think they can out do anyone.. Those are the ones we find wrapped around a tree or becoming a custom hood ornament on the hood of the on coming vehicle..
  14. The BR-parkway is not just a road.. It is a challenge that the normal rider must take caution on. I don't care who you are or how well you THINK you know how to ride.. The Dragons tail is one of the most challenging roads a rider will ever ride...and make it through, (if he does it right). As mentioned above, I too would strongly suggest you ride it during the week to avoid those avid local riders who have rode it many times. If you think your GOOD at riding, I again strongly suggest you take the ride north for the 11 miles. Stop, relax and take in the DAM view at the north end. Then, when you think you have your scruples head back that 11 miles and if you get that urge, speed up a little because NOW you know how sharp the curves really are...but don't get over bearing for if you do, you will take that trophy home of having parts of your bike on the tree of shame........ I have rode the tail of the dragon 14 times now...I choose to never ride it again...It is very hard on your bike if you ride it aggressively. Those new tires and brakes will show the wear if you choose to do so.
  15. Very nice job.. Looks great. Makes one proud to know they achieved what they set out to do. I can sense a few smiles on your face right now!!
  16. I cant get mine parked long enough to put it on a stand..
  17. That could have cost you the house...........Your safety ID tag is a good one:thumbsup2: Lock out/ tag out...

    Still dangerous, but a lot safer than using a two wheel....

    Just my opinion here... but I would think your pushing the limit if you are deciding to pull that trailer with your bike.. One time is all it would take for you to be in a situation where you had to brake hard and that thing will push you down the road uncontrollably. Yes, the tongue weight and trailer weight are within the "so called" allowable parameters, however the amount of force would be way out of the limits of safety Two key points to ponder in making your decision: Force is the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (http://cramster-image.s3.amazonaws.com/definitions/mech-26-eq-1.gif). The direction of the force determines the direction in which the object moves Read more about force here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force Hope this helps you make a safe decision..
  22. (quote) you might consider THIS ONE. Just my observation here, but this lift look "kind-a thin" and appears that it would need a balance brace so it would not tip over. Maybe I am wrong, but it sure looks it to me.
