  1. I'm only 38 years too young to be Peter but I sure like those old shows too, much to the chagrin of the better half. Good part of that I'm the R Dawson still alive and kicking. Butttt he is the one that got to kiss all those pretty women on Family Feud.
  2. Pump is behind left passenger foot peg/running board.
  3. To revive an old thread Puc what did you think of the beads?
  4. Make sure you're getting power to the pump before you jump in to replacement. If no power check fuses, connections, and relay. A bike that's been setting sometimes collects mice that chew wires too. There's a wealth of info in the read only section to help methodically test the whole fuel system.
  5. Gotta say congrats. You don't hear 37 years often anymore.
  6. In our part of the country used trikes are often selling cheaper than you can get one done. The trike shop isn't near as busy as the last few years. Touring bikes and trikes are moving slow here. I was in a multi brand shop a few months ago and they told me they couldn't move new Wings and rarely even sold a used one anymore.
  7. We're supposed to be there 1st week of Oct. We'll see. Prayers for those there.
  8. Ha. I jacked my own up. I looked cheap with that first bid showing as a quarter.
  9. With you a 100% on personal choice. I've been cutting people out of wrecks and picking up bikes for 16 years. Seen em when seat belts could've saved them and some where seat belts could've killed em. I didn't always wear a helmet until I figured out it was more of the "you aren't going to tell me what to do" attitude than comfort. Yes I like riding without it but I've put too many bodies in black bags to not see the truth. With that being said the seatbelt thing is still my choice in my truck, I'll take the ticket if I have to.
  10. I'm with you. How did you get your bid to show full amount instead of a quarter?
  11. This an awesome cause. Childhood cancer has shown it's ugly head in my family. My niece was treated there and is doing great. Now her cousin on her mom's side has it, both families are participating in a family study to see if there's a genetic link previously unknown. I have ran in the marathon weekend (5K only), my daughter has run that and the half marathon and headed the St. Jude fundraising at college raising thousands. I bid on a shirt and am guessing this works like Ebay increasing bids automatically. I will send the full bid no matter the end price. I am definitely interested in the St Jude ride if I can get there, my Saturdays in Sept and Oct are pretty well booked. I am 3-4 hours north of Memphis and will try to meet you there. If anybody reading this has never been there it is a life changing tour to take. We take so much for granted in our everyday lives that places like this make you think about priorities. Hope to see you in Memphis. DragonRider I don't know your history with St Jude but let me say thank you for your support to them.
  12. They're still in my plans. I just got swamped with orders that have to fabricated before I can play. I bought an RSV a month and a half ago and still haven't been able to get out of the county on it. 8 miles to the county line. Next few weeks should catch me up enough to pound some of these out.
  13. I was on a sport quad, no helmet, one week before girlfriends prom. She was not impressed with the black eyes. Couldn't see anything so probably good it wasn't a two wheeler.
  14. Had the same issue straight to the nose at 65. Broken nose-dead quail.
  15. The head temps are filtering up in the seat and burning out the heater.
  16. I punched in: venture royale exhaust on eBay. There are some there around $100. Saw one full exhaust system on auction with $95 opening bid.
  17. Installed the Edset (Buddy Rich) cable. Quick painless install. The iPhone 7 works great so far with it with the exception of trying to stream Pandora. Two more weeks of day to dark work and hopefully get a chance to ride. Anyone with experience being able to stream pandora through the Garmin?
  18. I agree. I just posted it so he could see a pic of one since he asked.
  19. There's a conversion manifold on eBay that uses a VW carb. It has pics.
  20. A cheap video camera/DVR could be very valuable is situations like this. Take care of yourself.
  21. I called and talked to Ed, nice guy. His bluestreak will Bluetooth a cell phone to the intercom without using a gps. At $300 plus an $80 splitter it's getting expensive to use a phone. I'm just wondering how well users like it before I drop that much cash. With kids, aging family, and a business to run I need to be able to answer that emergency call now and then.
  22. See it all the time. There are two MKII parts bikes in this area priced at what I'd sell mine for ready to ride. One wants $2000 listed as a parts bike, the other wants 1800 for a broke up barely running what he claims is a " super nice bike". The trunk is the only good plastic on it, running on 3 cylinders and not well on those.
  23. Prayers for you and your family. Can you get the state police involved? It may help to get past local politics.
  24. Listen to your doc. One of my guys did the same thing a few years ago and didn't listen to the dr, now climbing that 100' ladder gives him fits. He skipped most of the PT and now wishes he hadn't.
