  2. Nope.... I rode the bus. One room school house was about a mile away. Took 15mins to get there. Since I can't remember if it was east or west of the house, I guess I only traveled about 260 miles.....
  3. 1,041 miles in 1 hr. Just sat on the scoot. Didn't even fire it up. Great gas milage...
  4. This is probably as good a time as any to bring up underinsured coverage. Ask your agent. Most policies only carry uninsured motorist coverage, but if the other at fault driver is insured, and the accident takes his policy to max, your company isn't obligated to make up the difference. If the driver is basically not worth anything the possibility of getting any more by suing is pretty moot, and it's going to come out of your pocket. Another area to check is towing a trailer. It didn't cost any more to get the coverage, but when I checked Geico it wouldn't have been covered. Once they got the make, model, and license number entered it was. Just a couple of heads up's. :cody
  5. That looks nice.... Got a sorta related question about one bling add on. How do you keep from scratching up the chromed floorboards? Wear sox?? They do look purdy, but I'd be afraid to touch them..... http://image9.autorevo.com/382/pics/3252839_d1bee442-cae8-4c47-94ed-014d166f6d1a.jpg
  6. Yeah, I'm thinking that if anyone wanted to bring some buffalo wings, or slaw, or potato salad, or those cute little cocktail links.... I bet they wouldn't be turned away.... However.... trophy's only for the Chilli King... or Queen.. http://www.featurepics.com/FI/Thumb300/20090123/Cartoon-Mexican-Chilli-Lasso-1051311.jpg
  7. We just had tornado warnings posted here in northern California. Had a couple set down just north of us...

  10. I'm packing my spoon. Don't need no bowl.... NO NUDITY?? WHAT KIND OF A RULE IS THAT??? :cody
  11. Another way is to stick a long screwdriver down in the venturi and hold the slide while putting the cover on. Once the cover is seated you can go ahead and put the screws in. I think?? it was Carl. or maybe Goose, that came up with this one. I had the same problem keeping them in the groove...

    Spot 1 ?

    I now own the SPOT 1. I could have picked up a new one for $99.95 and get a $50 rebate in the form of a prepaid Visa card, but figured it wasn't worth the hassel. Beside I don't trust rebates anywho.... Thanks all for the feedback.

    Spot 1 ?

    Thanks Vic. I went ahead and Emailed the guy that I'll take it, and I'll give him a call a little later this morning. He's about 10 miles from me. This'll help take the sting out of starting the service. Thanks for the help.
  14. There are companies that only deal in 'extended' warantees. I bought a used truck with an extended, and it was a PITA getting anything paid. If the policy was purchased thru a dealer when new, then the only place to get decent response is that dealer....
  15. Corbin did make an after market replacement, and I bet there's at least 3 or 4 more company's out there that do too. They are all nose bleed pricy. One thing to remember is if you find an OEM, make sure it's off a MKI. MKII's will not fit as the passenger seat is wider.

    Spot 1 ?

    There's a fellow locally who is selling a SPOT 1 for $45 bucks. Do I want it?? What are my options??? Need a little wisdom feedback.
  17. It looks like he's still hunkered down at Erv and Teri's in Salmon ID. I'm sure he's watching the weather reports.....
  18. Always wear mine, even in states that don't require them. When I started riding in Ca. way back before MC licenses, and helmet laws, I never did, but now I just doesn't feel right without it.
  19. This is really getting good.....
  20. For some of you that have been following the saga of my V-Max final mod to fit the '99 it did have a happy ending.... sorta... For those that hadn't I bought a V-Max final listed in our classifieds from another member. It was represented as being off a 98 with 16,000 miles on it. Sounded good. After receiving it Pegscraper agree'd to bore the housing out to accept the speedo sensor. Upon inspecting the gears after the mod Lynn found them galled and in poor condition. I might add that there was no way of telling they were bad until the sensor hole had been drilled out, but the possibility of quickly burning up the gears was very probable. So I sent a PM to the member/seller and he admitted that the final had been purchased on Ebay a while ago and he was just repeating what he'd been told by the Ebay seller, and I can understand that he didn't know about the galling. So I Figured I'd just wasted a couple of hundred bucks and was unsure what I was going to do. I did have another V-Max final stashed away that I'd picked up off Ebay 3-4 years ago. I planned on installing on the '91. I didn't know it, but when I dug it out, it also had the flat sensor housing. This is where Pegscraper comes to the rescue. Lynn offer to do this one pro-bono to at least a little of the sting out of the money loss, and I am really grateful. I don't want to embarrass him, but he deserves a big thank you... I did email the seller of the first final, explaining that I knew it wasn't entirely his fault as he had no way of knowing about the galled gears, but the final was basically unusable, or iffy at best. It was not what he'd represented. Also when I sell something that I can't verify as being what was represented I guarantee it 100%. I also bought the final because it was from a member. Caveat Emptor. So far no response. BTW the second final turned out great.
  21. I'd never heard of that either, and my polishing guy just told me about it a couple of days ago..... Going to try it in the Suburban. It has a leak somewhere. Coolant keeps disappearing and nothing on the ground, no coolant in the oil, and no oil in the coolant. Got me baffled. Going to try the pepper....
  22. By-passed California.... Wise choice....
  23. I had five drops hit the winshield this morning... ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
