    I wasn't going to say anything but now that you've brought it up.....

    I'm thinking about changing out the graphics card on this old Dell XPS 400. I've noticed lately that my hyper speed down loads and streaming video are getting slower. I've cleaned out, tweeked and smoozed everything including the registry to no avail. It's plain sluggish. The wifi router is a brand new linksys E4200 running at 54mbps. So the only thing I can think of is the graphics card may be getting tired. The Dell is running a card in a slot instead of one built in the mother board. Also to throw fuel on the fire I don't know what I should be looking for. This whole graphics card business is confusing as he!!. Prices are all over the place, and discriptions are spoken in some language from another planet. Anyone have any idea what I should be looking for?? Something that isn't going to break the bank, but is good enough to handle big down loads and streaming. I'm at a loss..... :confused07: PS: I,m not into any gaming.... Noticed some of those come with loan papers...

    No, but you can shoot it with a can of Krylon Semi-Flat Black for less than the cost of shipping.....

    Geeze, how memory fades when you start packing on a few years..... Those ARE your covers Russ. You sent them to me after a member won them at a rally raffle, didn't need them, and told you to send them to me. You couldn't remember who told you to do that, but a least you didn't forget to send them on their way. Many Thanks that member BTW!! They're great!! And.... I tried to get you to make me another set for the '83, but that never happened.... Guess you forgot...

    The OEM brace flexes quite a bit and doesn't work as well as a stiffer aftermarket. Do a search on the board for Fork Brace, there's a lot of information available. It's probably the best performance bang for the buck you can do to a 1stGen.

    Just a heads up. I've been out of fork braces for a couple of months now, but just put in an order for another 10. Only this time around they gonna be anodized black. Thought it would be different... I'll be posting an ad in the classifieds toward the end of next week since I don't know what the cost will be until I get the invoice. I generally want to know about the cost up front, but the machinest has been more than fair with us over the years. So next week.... Attached are a couple of pics of one on my '91 that show what they'll look like installed.

    I've been watching Craigslist off and on to see what pops up for a Motorcycle Work/lift Table. I get a lot of listings for plane ol' MC Jacks when searching. It got me to thinking.... again.. Why do manufactures of quote 'MC Jacks' make them where they all need an adapter to fit the frame of a bike. Why can't they just build the jack with adjustable frame pads, especially if they're going to label them MC Jacks?? Maybe they should call them NOT MC Jacks??

    Nah... Auction Hunters and Auction Kings.... That's what I kinda figured on the case. The best price I could find for the case, after searching online a bit, was $107 plus whatever shipping would be. It might have been less somewhere else, but that looked like a pretty good price. So the Fender came along for the ride....

    I really find nothing wrong with it, and just another way to spread the word and promote patriotism. But that's just me... only one opinion among many.... To each his own...

    Ya think maybe we're all getting bored ??????? For those that are keyboard bound I ran across this website. It'll keep you intertained for a while... http://ridingtheedge.net/rushmore.html

    I just saw a beautiful leather bound bible sell last Sunday, but I have to agree, I think it was the first I'd seen. I do see American Flags all the time. The two auction houses I patronize locally handle estates. Both are run by the same family. One takes estates only, and the other will take consignments. I've picked up some incredible buys...

    As long as you run the bike every month or so your reasoning works. What I can't understand is the seals/o-rings drying out. I can see them getting old and cracking, but drying out?? On the flip side of the coin, a full bowl has more varnish than an 'almost' empty bowl. So if the bike is to be stored where it's not accessable, and maybe the battery has been pulled for the winter?? Maybe draining the carbs might be something to think about. Also I think there's a drain plug on each carb. I wouldn't do it, but it might be a way to empty the bowls completely??

    That's why I like the older Nolans with a latch on both sides. It's all mechanical. The later models do have a left hand button with a cable runing to the right latch to make it a one handed operation, but if the cable malfunctions the RH latch can still be operated. Helmets with the center button are all cable. I bought a cheap flip up off Ebay for the kids and the 'string' broke after very little use. I threw it in the trash...

    Condor replied to tbbrider's topic in Watering Hole

    Been thinking about this... Wouldn't it be better to turn the fuel off and run the carbs dry. Sea Foam will evaporate just like fuel and the varnish in the bowls will still plug things up. In the tank it will still work as a conditioner over the winter... Maybe I'm over thinking things.... ??

    That's a Yon, and they are really rare.... I've seen a cow Yon and an calf Yon, but because of their high value for commercial use, I've never seen a Bull.......

    The camera would be another toy that would sit around and not get used. Daughter is starting to mess around with a guitar... that's where it'll probably end up. Right alongside the trumpet.... Now if you had a 264 win mag laying around???

    Nah... that's a lake... Oceans have beaches...
