  1. She likes to remind me I’m not 25 anymore.
  2. I need to look at mine, I have the same front. I don’t want any issues on the Vogel trip.
  3. I agree. My daughters are 26 and 19, I worry about long term effects and possible child birth issues. My wife keeps reminding me I don’t have that long to worry about long term side effects on me. 🤷🤷🤷
  4. So far I haven’t taken the shots. I’m not a hard core antivaxer, just reluctant to use a rushed drug with little testing. My wife and oldest daughter took it with mild side effects (arm pain/flu symptoms) but ever time I consider getting it I see something like this. My youngest daughter and I are still holding out. I hope you get over it soon @larrydr
  5. Go to Lowe’s or a hardware store and get 1/4/20 nylon wing nuts. The metric thread will cut its own thread into the plastic and they won’t vibrate off like the originals. Very common problem. I’ve got 30,000 miles with the nylon wings and still have em.
  6. Thanks Vaz. Remind him for us he still has friends here, I miss his humor.
  7. I’ve seen some jumpered out of the opener and wired to the PTT button.
  8. I don’t know the part number but there is a thermostat widely used in Japanese cars that fits
  9. Those are the cabs. The air box clamps directly to the carb bodies.
  10. A shelter with plenty of parking overlooking KY Lake has been reserved. It has electricity, water, picnic tables fireplace, and yes bathrooms. We’re not planning any long rides but here is where we need opinions: Hannigan’s is a 30 minute ride, we can schedule a visit/tour if there is interest. There is an 1850’s Homeplace farm nearby for anyone not going to Hannigans. There are other sights nearby or forgo any rides other than food runs. Probably a Friday ride to supper/Saturday to breakfast. There is also dining at the park lodge. http://www.hannigantrikes.com/ https://www.landbetweenthelakes.us/seendo/attractions/homeplace/ https://parks.ky.gov/hardin/parks/resort/kenlake-state-resort-park https://www.pattis1880s.com/ (Possible supper option Friday)
  11. Sounds a lot like a Charlie Daniels song.
  12. You can try topping it off but you’ll probably have to bleed it too. Look for oil spots under the bike, the slave usually drips there.
  13. @videoarizonahave you heard from the Pucster? Kinda quiet around here without him stirring the pot.
  14. I can’t see in the pic about the rake but all Hannigan trikes have independent suspension.
  15. Check fluid level. The culprit is often a leaking slave cylinder. How old is the fluid? Old dark fluid needs to be flushed if present.
  16. I’m just opposite, I like the big fixed fairings. The air cooled VTwin and all the electronics scared me off. I haven’t ridden the SVTC but I never rode a better bike in the rain than a first gen fixed fairing Venture.
  17. Cross your fingers. Maybe they are giving out new bikes “2021”. 🧐🧐🧐
  18. I’m with @luvmy40on this one, you can find a Venture for the same money as the TD. Get all the touring equipment with no add on headache.
  19. I used the spring from @skydoc_17 in both my bikes. I don’t remember if it’s an EBC or not. Works great even when I’m two up pulling a trailer. Others swear by the Barnett set but I’ve not tried it. How about that big boat on Barkley? Me n the wife put the boat in Friday and checked it out.
  20. Puc usually pulls his disappearing act when he and Tip go visit the grandkids. I assume and hope that’s all that’s going on.
  21. Make sure you’re using the correct type of oil.
  22. You’re in the right place to get her going. Look on the home page, scroll down to the 1st gen read only tech section, you can get acquainted with it there. They’re a blast to ride with many going well above 200,000 miles, there’s a fanatical following here that can help you through anything that may be wrong.
  23. A lot of dealers are going that route because it’s cheaper than a spare, mount kit, etc. When I was looking for Kandi’s Jeep the local dealers only had the compressor kits. Most were willing to get the spare to get the sale. I did go and buy those compressor kits and added them to the kid’s cars and wife’s in case they pick up a nail when I’m not around.
