    Geothermo

    Condor replied to Godlover's topic in Watering Hole

    Geeze, what a great thread.... I had no idea this existed. The wife and I have been bracing ourselves :mo money:for when the time comes to replace our old ca.1958 HVAC system. The only reason we haven't done it so far is it's still working and even tho the usage cost is greater we burn a lot of gas and electricity for the cost of replacement. I know, I know it ain't green... It's an old Carrier R12 system and built like a tank. I've often wondered if just circulating plain air thru a deep well would work, and maybe it would, but this sounds so much better. I found this site via Google that explains the system very well. http://www.reddawn.com/featart11-98.html I've also been dreaming about building a Straw Bale House on our property In Valley Springs CA. A Geothermo system would be great....

    Sounds like your dealing with the same problem 1stGens have from time to time. GeorgeS wrote up a tech article dealing with the problem. Welcome to our world.... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=811

    Here in California we've had that law on the books for a while now, but it was only for talking. They've found that talking on the cell phone only contributed to a 1% increase in accidents while texting ended up at a 6-7% increase. The law was modified to include texting last year....

    I have a couple of cheap GPS's, and the only gripe I have about either one is the screen will wash out in direct sunlight, when mounted on the scoot.... So, I found that the Garmin c550 Streetpilot has the same anti-glare screen that the Zumo 550 has although a little smaller screen, and the unit isn't waterproof, which isn't that big of a deal. One of the cheapies I have has a screen info bar at the bottom that gives me the mph, which I like a lot. The other does not, but you can get it by going to the GPS info page.... a PITA. I don't know if the c550 has that info available, but I figure the screen is the big issue and I'll live with no mph. Like I memtioned the c550 has a smaller screen, but it's still touch driven. My feeling is with the smaller screen it won't look so big and take over everything else on the dash, and would be easier to find a spot to mount. Now here's the good news. They can be had for less than a 'C' note on Ebay, and they have a 'bike' mount available. Just be careful when buying one that it is unlocked as it does have that feature, and if you can't unlock it, because the seller failed to mention it, it has to go to Garmin to be unlocked. My PS: It also has Bluetooth, and an MP3 player. Cell phone compatable via blue.

    I don't like Norton or Macafee. Been using Trend PC-cillan for over 15 years and it's never let me down. It's gotten to be a memory hog lately so if you don't have a newer machine with at least 2-3megs on the board... the more the merrier...., forget it...

    Worth $500... Nope.. It's a project. Offer him a couple of hundred and see where it goes. If he balks tell him to fix it and you'll give him a grand. Fiberglass is easy to work, but the racks, chrome, metal will be a PITA. I don't think the frame's tweaked as the damage seems to be road rash. Frames get bent by impact.

    It all depends on the DOT date and the amount of tread left. After 12,000 miles I think you've exceeded reasonable expectations. They'll only warantee tires that have deep seperation. Hair line cracks don't count....

    Don, I received the same response when I called Avon a couple of years ago. I also expressed concern, and was fed the same spin you were fed along with the attachment on the care and feeding of the Avon tire. I believe the Marketing Mgr's nick name was 'Suki'??. Might have been the same person you talked to. I used to have all the info stored away but lost it when my HD crashed 3 months ago. I afraid it's the same old spin. My thoughts are that we are just a small part of the Venom consumption, and feel that in our group we are exceeding that 1%. So far nothing catastrophic has occurred, as in the Metzler's tossing caps, but it's still disconcerting. I wonder what might come from contacting a federal agency (FTC) that handles problems of this sort, and can do so on a greater scale then just our group. The sad part about this is I really like their performance.

    Wonder if it might have been a 'financial' fire???...............
  24. Condor
    Yeah, but he just told me he's gonna have it painted at PIP or DMMD... not sure which?? He's no fun...

    Do you plan on repainting them?? Just for kicks and giggles I thought that when the time cames to get the 83/84/86 fired up and on the road I'd try to get one piece of plastic for every color offered. Make it a color sample. You might also be patient and give it a few more months. The pickin's are always better in the summer months...
