  1. Don't worry about the miles, and any price under 4 grand for a clean '99 Star Venture is good. Just make sure the tires are good, and no oil leaks are visible. Figure you're going to have to change all the fluids as SOP.
  2. I have a similar pair in chrome on my '91 mounted the same way. And... they have hi/lo beam. Haven't looked at them closely enough to find the manufacture. Not my doing.... P.O.'s
  3. Since they are all adjusted the same... 3 out.. It doesn't make any difference which one you want to start with. One setting will not effect the other...
  4. Diverticulitis. Ain't no fun. Prayers sent....
  5. You might think about leaving it outside, and buying a gremlin bell from Freebird.....
  6. Here's a set in Texas.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/220898412371?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Ebay#220898412371
  7. Now that's interesting. I wonder if Squeeze knows?? I also wonder if that might be a little overkill??
  8. Boy am I glad to see this post.... Next year you won't even be able to remember the pain.... Hang in there Dano...
  9. Nice well thought out upgrades. With all that comfort I'd be afraid of falling asleep.....Zzzzz
  10. WOW!! That is one good looking scoot.....
  11. Bet the liability insurance on that one is huge....
  12. Programing looks a lot like my c50 Streetpilot only with a few more buttons and whistles. Should be a good one... On the mount make sure you have enough room on the round part of the bar. The clamp looks like it might be a little too wide. 1stGens aren't very generous with mounting area in front of the brake or clutch master.... http://www8.garmin.com/buzz/demos/1390interactive/
  13. Here in California a vehicle has ever lasting life. Well at least 7 years. That's how long it takes before the vehicle/boat falls out of the system. The kicker is that if anyone even inquires about it during that 7 year period the clock starts all over again. All the while the vehicle is accruing fines and penalties. This is one of the big problems faced when buying a non-runing garage queen. Unless the previous owner has non-opted... yes there is light at the end of the tunnel.... the bike may cost a ton in fines, more than the bike is worth.... besides maintenence..., to get it back on the road. However if the owner was smart enough to non-op it it takes very little to get it registered. Unfortunately most let them sit and amass big bucks, and the bike becomes worthless, or a parts bike, and all it would have taken is a one time $10 fee to non-op.
  14. This was just forwarded to me by a friend. I wanna ride it!! Too bad we can't do something like that here in the US. We have the mountains, but we also have way too many safety restrictions....

  15. Listen, let me put it as clear as I can.... My original thought/statement was to pressurize the case or cabinet to reduce dirt and dust. Not to get into a lenghty debate on whether or not a computor will last ten years or ten seconds. That's not the point. A cleaner computor will run better than a dirty one. If you want to play 'yes but' go ahead, however this discussion is over as far as I concerned. I'm sorry it had to end this way.
  16. I guess I'm not the norm than.. I keep mine going as long as something major doesn't happen, or technology doesn't take a giant leap into the future. I don't spend woppin' bucks on a computor so you might say mine are fairly inexpensive.... and they last a lot longer that 3-5 years. MOF I bet if we took a poll on how old the computors are used on this board the majority would be over 5 years unless they are in the biz or gaming. I just don't have the kind of money to toss into a bigger, faster, speedier machine. So I'm going to keep putting band aids on the one I have until it has a major hemorage.... And I bet I'm not that unusual.. And pressurizing the case is a best way to go.....
  17. I understand what you're saying, but I've seen some pretty dirty heat syncs on CPU's. As long as the intake filter is visable, plugging shouldn't be a problem. I guess it's a question of whether your glass half full or half empty. Personally I still think a pressurized case is a much better way to go. Monitoring and cleaning one visable external filter is a heck of a lot better... and easier.. than tearing into a case because you're not sure how clean the inside is.... What they are doing is selling vacumm cleaners... IMHO
  18. Couldn't they just reverse the fan they use now and put say 5 cents worth of filter material over the intake. Just think how many dirty house calls they'd avoid....
  19. Thanks, Oh fountain of trivia....
  20. Yep remove the dust bunnies every so often. Which brings something to mind. Why don't these computor companies install a filtered cooling fan that blows into the CPU and pressurizes the case rather than one that sucks all the dirt and dust into it. Just keep an eye on the filter and change it out when it gets dirty. Seems to me anyway that it would eliminate all the dust problems.... Update on the problems. I just ordered a T-P Link WN822N. Hopefully it'll connect to the router with a better signal by placing the thing in the window. I just installed a new LinkSys E4200 router and I wonder if it's coverage may not be a good as the older unit.
  21. I think that stuff has been around for a long time. I've seen small TV sets at State Fairs playing underwater after being sprayed down this... what ever it is. Haven't seen it for a while so they might be remarketing it...
  22. This thread is getting more action than the chat room.....
  23. Just not upside down.....
  24. Loved the whole video, but making that crank shaft was special..... Plus I thought slotted screws had been outlawed....
