  1. Hmmm, a Tazmanian devil.........I can think of a new name for Squid right now but ill hang on to it and sell it to the highest bidder......:mo money::witch_brew:
  2. Just get the leather gas cap cover from Yamaha and your problem is solved. It works great for me.
  3. I used Neosporin with pain relief on mine as per my artists instructions. It kept the area soft, itch free, scab free and pain free.
  4. Looking forward to the article. I plan on replacing my front bearings and maybe races this winter. I originally did the shortcut method back in 2004 and it worked fine. I just did it again this past summer and it seemed to have pulled the fairing mounting points and driving light bracket slightly off center. Right now the bike feels a little wobbly. Not a speed wobble, just a bit "loose" if you know what I mean. Swingarm has already been repacked. At 56k I might also just go ahead and replace the wheel bearings too.
  5. I was wondering how your making out.......
  6. Well, since I weigh 300+ lbs it was pretty easy to get mine to squat down a few inches......
  7. Man these newbies are so easily taken, :buttkick:er, I mean, glad to have you on board.
  8. Very nice!!!
  9. Its called firstgenalzheimerforgetfulness disease......runs rampant in certain 1st gen riders. It usually begins as a slight drool, followed by a distaste for Dairy Queen and a sudden fondness for Similac.

    opinion

    One of the reasons why I gave up on group rides when I was a Southern Cruiser. I never really liked big group rides. I prefer to ride my own ride. Just my opinion.
  11. 5 minutes for me,,,,,,,,
  12. Well, I was gonna try and make it up there this weekend but Im scheduled to work Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Big bucks!! So, its not looking good at all. Ill just add that getting a tat really isnt painful. Its more annoying if anything. Kinda like someone scratching a nail across your skin. Unless the artist happens to be a student of Marquis' de Sade.............. Enjoy.....................
  13. Since the bike is still under warranty let the dealer deal with it. For the wife, well, there are some hit-men in NYC that could use the extra work.......
  14. This is an election year??
  15. I see in some parts of the country winter is setting in, and you can see it reflected in some of the posts here, so, ................ "LET THE DRIVEL BEGIN"!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. OK, I stand corrected...your not nuts, only crazy.
  17. Hmmmmmmm............Maybe Salty meant there was no room for chickenhawks.....
  18. Explain "at least part of the way". What are you leaving out???? Speak up woman!!! When he told me he was picking up a parts bike in SC I surely didnt think it was with the SS bike. Now I know hes nutz. Even Zeus cringed at the pics.
  19. Payment sent old timer......
  20. Sorry about the ticket Thom. Unfortunately, unless you have a clear tape recording (which may not be admissable in court) of the cop or a witness to his words, then you are most likely SOL. Just hope he dont see you on your bike.
  21. How about a group grope!!!!!
  22. Ill take one Thom. Put Ruffy on the bottom.
  23. Hmmm, I was looking all over my desktop PC and couldnt find any emissions......no wonder im still driving a truck!!LOL:smash2: Congrats, Matt and to the proud Papa.....
  24. I can sympathize with ya a bit JT. While my back is so-so, my knees cry out all day long. Sometimes they even lock up for a while. No cartledge and torn meniscus. Yep, getting old is real fun.........
  25. Yep, even I can do it myself now that I have an adapter!!! Just make sure you have proper contact on all 4 corners and practice with some help first before you do it yourself. Once you start jacking up the bike it will sit upright very fast and can spook someone who isnt ready for it. Raise the jack slowly and hold onto the passenger grips and handlebar. Preferably raise it with the jack coming in from the right side. Same thing with lowering it. Just make sure your side stand is lowered all the way and let the jack down very slowly. Once the wheels make contact it will lean over to the side stand rather quickly.
