  1. The last time my wife and I were there we went to a mall out on the end of the strip to kill a little time. I wonder if this is the one you heard about????
  2. I'm thinking about doing a 10-14 day trip up through Seattle and into Canada, east through Calgary and Banff, then back into the U.S. through Glacier. Plan on visiting bro. in Kalispell MT, and daughter in Shoshone ID before heading back into Oregon, south to Reno, and then back to the barn. You can have the artic circle and those 1000 mile days. I'm going to take lots of pics and sight see. Going to yank a trailer and do a little camping while I'm at it. The time frame is still open, but I thought I might try to time it for Street Vibrations in Reno which would be in mid September.
  3. Here's a link you might enjoy reading. Pretty much says it all... http://www.pashnit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2211
  4. I work out of my home. But..... I built my business from the ground up. If you're thinking about one of those companies, think again. The only one making any money is the company running the ad. Find something you know a lot about, and design a biz around it, then open up an Ebay store in lue of creating a web presence. It'll cost you a few bucks, but the exposure is the best on the net. When people ask me what I do, I tell them I buy things and I sell things. The very basics of business...
  5. Ligament damage? Taken a shot to the back of the hand lately?
  6. Thanks Chuck.....
  7. OK, I didn't mean for this subject to start a debate on arms control, always a hotly debated issue, but I can see it drifting in that direction. I was genuinely curious as to how many riders actually carry firearms while they are touring. From the responses it seems like there are a lot more than I had anticipated. Maybe what I should have done was to post a yea or nay poll? Before this thread gets out of control I ask that we go back to the original question. A simple yes or no will suffice..... Many Thanks.
  8. Hello my name is Jack. I suffer from MBD, but with the help of MBDAA I've been able to deal with it. Someday perhaps when the medical industry discovers a cure, I'll be free of the desease, but until then, with the help of MBDAA, I'll learn to live with it.....
  9. Gerald, Here's something to think about. The paint scheme isn't OEM. Non OEM plastic doesn't bring anywhere near what a clean piece with factory paint will bring on Ebay. And that's where most of the value is on a VR. Nobody wants to buy one piece and go thru the hastle of painting to match what they already have. Part it out and you're going to have a garage full of bits and pieces for a long time...... Sell it complete and be done with it. Sorry guys, I had to say it....
  10. What's the difference????
  11. I didn't say nuttin'............
  12. I noticed on another thread that there were a couple of members who carry firearms while riding. Even into Canada. I'm curious if this practice happens a lot or is it just a few??? I do have firearms in the house, but don't think I'd be inclined to carry while touring.
  13. Throw a custom at it..... http://www.cast-aways.com/images/chopper%20(Small).jpg
  14. I agree with Eck. For I think 35¢ the manufacture gets a sticker they can paste on the helmet. It's up to the manufacturers to build a helmet that meets the requirements. Sorta like letting the fox loose in the hen house... One of these days a sharpie ambulance chasing lawyer is going to pick up on this and take a couple of manufacturers to court on liability/fraud issues. Until that happens things ain't gonna change.
  15. When you play a game inside of a freezer anything can happen...and it did. Like Freebird I didn't have a 'team' in either game, but I thought both games were great. Wonder what's going to happen with the super bowl when it's played inside a cozy dome???
  16. Table saw cabinet huh? Well...... at least I know where to get a spring for my 1stGen kick stand if I ever need one......
  17. Eck, I think we have right at 20 +/-. I may have lied about placing the order today. I'll give 'm a call, but they may be closed for the holiday?? Thanks for the kudos. We'll do this again after the snow melts and all those batteries that have been sitting thru the winter start to die....
  18. Tommorow morning the Odyssey order goes in... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18052 Today's your last chance to put in your order.
  19. LOL I see you haven't bought anything for a boat lately......
  20. Holy Rat Feathers!!! 2.7 large. I'd rather go to the Barrett Jackson auction. If you can afford one who gives a hoot about fuel milage.....
  21. My '83 master sight glasses look like there about ready to desolve into swiss cheese, but I've noticed that when I put a little pledge on them they do clear up enuff to see the fluid level. Now I'm wondering if I could shoot them with clear coat and get the same results only more permanent?? I have a couple of spares floating around in my stash. I think I'll give a try....
  22. I'm like you Don, like them jeans. One of these days I'm going to pop for a pair of these. Those police/kevlars look too 'sporty' for my taste....
  23. Gotta laugh about this one. Years ago I had to get to Ithaca NY with a couple of other west coast salesmen in tow. Becasue of the weather the closest we could get was Saracuse, and then rent a car. We got off the plane, walked up to the only open Car Rental desk. ...The terminal was just about empty... They didn't have anything preped, and the ice age was starting again outside. The car we got was located way and the 'H' out in their parking lot. The three of us nearly froze trying to locate that car. Then the key wouldn't turn to open the door. My Zippo cured that problem. Then when we tried to open the door the damn thing was frozen shut. One of the guys from SoCal had an arm with bad circulation, and he was fading fast, and I doubt he would have made it back to the terminal. I put my foot against the side of the car and bent the handle getting the thing open. We said a prayer and it finally fired up. It didn't have enogh fuel to take us to Ithaca so we drove it back to the terminal to get it fueled up. I told them the big dent in the side of the car was on them, and when I finally got to where we going I called and told them to come pick the thing up.... One of life's experiences.....
  24. Wrong size. I guess I need 2"OD according to the drawing. That tubing's 1.5" outside. I need the 1.5" on the inside. I checked their other auction listings and their too expensive. I'll keep it in mind though as I might change the receiver instead of making a drawbar fit if I can't find one.
  25. There's a couple of large RV stores here in town and I'll check them out next week. They sorta slipped my mind.... Thanks for the reminder. I would have thought I'd have been able to find at least one on the net somewhere??? I hope the stores have them...
