OK, how's this.... Y ???

I guess it's a compatibility problem with IE. Just tried Chrome and had no issues. Just thought it was strange since VR.org is the only site I've ever had a problem with thumbnails....??

Why???

This has been going on for a while now. When I click on the thumbnail pic posted by a member, or myself for that matter. The pic will not appear. All I get is a black frame and a rotating circle. Won't work. Now here's the kicker. When I open the pic in the new tab feature it works fine, and then when I go back to view the thumbnail it works too. Even on my own posts??? Go figure. To view a multi-thumbnail I have to do the tab dance for all of them, and then the thumbnails will work. Haven't got a clue....

Here in CA were are having another fire season with about 12 majors going right now. With the drought and weather conditions, they're not going to be easy to control. However at the tip of Baja California, it's just the opposite. This latest hurricane that blew through Sunday night has crippled the area. Attached is a pick of the Airport up in Loredo.. Should explain just a little of what happened down there.

Looks like a twinky to me.....

One of the real effective helmet colors is...white. Looks like a highway patrolman. Get's your attention quick. Black and white on a car does about the same thing.... It's a subconscious thing....

His website is here: His name is Woody... http://s417981418.initial-website.com/prices-pics-and-options/

Any evidence of water in the engine oil??

The answer to your first question is that they don't look cool and won't sell. HiViz around a job site works. On a bike, not so..... I think we all are safety conscious because we wear helmets, but we like them to come close to matching what we ride. There was one member from around Carson City NV that painted his bike yellow. He'd wear one....

Very Cool.... I've always wanted to go there.....

'EBIKA'.... Much like ebola only in most instances not airborne.....

Yep, 13.9vdc is a good thing. One of things that I ran into with the RSV is when I leave the audio on, with the bike off for a week or two, it will run the battery down. Since I've been turning it off I can fire the bike up after being neglected for a month or more. Why this is? Haven't got a clue, but something in the system must be still pulling amps??

Wow!! Happy Anniversary you two.... I'm jealous.....

I have a '91 1300 motor w/50,000 on it, that I thought I needed?? I'm in it $200 plus the gas to drive down to Bakersfield from Sacramento to pick it up. It's been sitting, but it's all there.... no carbs..... you can have it for the $200 if you think it'll help.

Much the same thing that happened to me on the '07. One day it ran fine and the next it ran like crap or not at all. I went ahead and replaced it with an OEM But I'm ready for the next one. First I picked up a cheap fuel pump with the mount off eBay, and then a set of points last week... When the points arrived I noticed they were made in Japan. So now I have a spare, and it's a piece of cake to R&R the pump. The points ran $30 bucks on my doorstep. A heck of a lot cheaper than a new OEM... And it ain't that hard to change the points.

The '83's grips were gonners when I bought the bike, so picked up a set of new foam replacements from Buckeye. Cut the old ones off, and after boiling the grips they slipped right on. They fit fine since I have such tiny hands...

For what it's worth... The most comfortable long distance riding I've ever experienced is with my '83 and a large soft travel duffle mounted across the passenger seat. When I'd lean into it with feet on the highways it took pressure off my lower back, rather than supporting my lower back with a back rest. I'm not saying it the definitive answer to a bad back, but it sure made my riding pain free...

Who's that O.F. in the Puc-pics ?? Don't look like nobody I've ever seen... And...he had his pit crew with him. Must be Rich??

I just got through watching the recording last night. I've been watching since the beginning, but I'm not too sure if this turn-around bad guy format is going to do it for me. To much blood and guts, and too many plots and subplots. I'll keep watching, but if it keeps going this direction, I'm gone....

I just received THIS in my email box this morning. It looks like Ricoh/Pentax is giving the action camera market a shot. Ricoh has always come out with some pretty nice stuff. At $300 bucks I think it'll do well. It's only available thru the Ricoh online store here in the US. I just might test the waters...down to 32'....

I would think that batwings would change the flow of air downward off the bottom edge of the fairing??. Maybe some aeronautical engineer will chime in with some real solid info???

On the boots they have a... what looks like.. a plastic sleeve on the inside. The only area that might possibly leak is up around the carb clamp where it's all rubber. That's why I just replaced those on the '99. The rubber was cracking, but it was up under the clamp that had me worried, so R&R'd them. Figured they were due...

I've been called a heck of a lot worse....

I'm running K&N's along with a set of nasty Harley slip-ons on the '04, and it responds to the throttle in a Nano-sec. So I don't think it has anything to do with air filter, or the exhaust. My thinking it might? be something to do with the booster and timing advance??
