  1. Well I can’t post pics from my IPhone. Guess it doesn’t matter since I usually don’t take any. Been a good time, lots of stories(some even true) and a ton of Carl bashing since you’re not here. Not gonna mention what Robin has been up to. Oh yeah, the hot sex around the campfire was great.
  2. Wiz and I just had this conversation a few minutes ago. Keep us updated after a few rides. I have no intention of going back to a MC tire.
  3. I have the Edsets cable with IMC headsets. I had the 550 Garmin and it all worked fine. Freebird is right on the Mic Mutes. I did have a problem with a 3.5mm cable from the GPS to the splitter.
  4. Check your iPhone, under settings, privacy, health. Any that updated recently had a Covid tracker installed. On Androids it’s under the google if I remember correctly.
  5. Coming through Ohio doesn’t bother me at all. I just wasn’t sure if y’all could make it. I’m heading out tomorrow to Lexington and up your way Thursday.
  6. Dang, my plan was to meet up with Rich and maybe Don in Ohio to travel in together. This may throw a wrench in it. Last thing I need is to be kidnapped for two weeks in NY. As of now KY doesn’t seem to be on the list.
  7. Well if Big Tom will have a pot on Thursday when I get there it’ll be about 800 miles.
  8. Just don’t lay on the horn before it goes bump. 2-1/2 years ago a 3/4 ton ford pulled out in front of my wife, with no way to miss it she hit the horn. An airbag deploys at speeds even a 1st gen can’t match and will break the bones in front of it, broke both bones in her arm, one in her hand, and left her with lifelong pain and reduced usage of that hand.
  9. I have my cable out right now since I broke the GPS mount. I’m looking at Edsets Bluestreak that integrates the phone by Bluetooth. The only holdup is I’m cheap and they tell me I have to use their headsets for it to work correctly. I have a Bluetooth audio receiver to stream music, I just don’t want to spend $700 to get the phone calls back. I could buy another cheap GPS for it but want less jumble on the bars.
  10. Beats the heck outta ours. 93,95 96 high humidity and heat index over 100.
  11. Edsets sells the cable. Edsets.com. I have one of theirs that works well.
  12. I don’t do much social media because I hate the attitudes and name calling that goes on, I lurked around here for a while before I joined, the lack of that and the helpful people really surprised me. Kudos to Don and admins for that. The things I learned about the bikes are priceless, the rallies and friendships are priceless, the mods I keep finding here and the travel are costing me a fortune . I wonder how many of the visitors that show up are members that don’t bother to log in sometimes.
  13. Carbs need cleaned
  14. I like it.
  15. I installed one last year, good product. I used Velcro to attach the volume control on top of the clutch master. Hardly ever adjust it.
  16. Are you kidding? I start these threads just to see where they go, that’s half the fun. If they don’t take off I’ll ask what kind of oil/tires to buy. By the way how many fingers were pointing back at you when you were pointing out the hijacking?
  17. Slowing down is the hardest thing for the self employed to do. It took me being hurt and forced to close the prop shop for 6 months to figure out what I wanted. Now I’m riding more and turning down work.
  18. Let’s load y’all in an 18 wheeler and sneak across. :cool10:
  19. At 55k I was gonna replace the bearings no matter what. I never put a new bearing in an old race. Probably a little overkill but my plan is to never have to tear it down again.
  20. Boy that lower neck race is no fun. I ended up reaching up from the bottom and welding a piece of flat steel to it and used a rod to hammer it out.
  21. It’s well worth the 30 mile ride, I’m coming 796. Meet some members here, eat some good food, laugh a lot, hear some good stories, maybe hear some true ones, and generally have a good time.

    50

    Congrats. 🎉🎊🎈 50 is a number few reach anymore.
  23. After putting it off since the last trip to NY I tore her down today for steering neck bearings, what was Yamaha thinking? I’ll put it back together Saturday morning and tear out the other end. I need to take the pumpkin off to get the FJR one milled for the speedo. The Garmin broke off in my hand when I went to unplug it so I’m finally gonna order the Bluestreak from Edsets to integrate the phone without the Garmin. I hope they open the border, who will we pick on if there’s no Canadians there?
  24. Glad to see ya back on wheels. You still going to Niagara?
