  1. Heck, we don't care where ya post around here, as long as youre buying the ice cream!!!! That's Owl's job to sort it out!!!!! Brian:p
  2. Don't ask..... Brian
  3. the cheddar cheese slicer , the type that kinda looked like a small fret or scroll saw with the rough wire strung tight. Brian
  4. An elk in rut somewhere in MT decided he liked the look of a motorcycle with a couple of riders on it a few days ago. Its kinda funny to us here, but ill bet it was pretty stressful being that close to a horny elk! Brian
  5. I just spotted this tidbit in one of the sci-fi websites I visit from time to time. It looks like Condors favourite curvy tv girl, Jeri Ryan is headed back into another sci-fi tv series with a show called Helix. Here is the link,.... Don't forget to breathe, Jack.... http://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/scifi/joins-ron-moores-helix.html Brian
  6. Gee, Scott so sorry to hear that you have to go thru all the surgeries, its too bad they didn't get you all fixed up with one procedure. Best wishes on the surgery and I hope this is the one that gets you going again! On an upside it gives you more time at home with the Grandkid(s) Brian
  7. Ive had the Roku 3 for about 6 months and love it, but its not really a sub for basic network stations. I do get some network news etc on it, but its more of a movie and specialty channel service. I get about 250 channels up here in Canada I think in the US you guys have over 750(?) There are several outdoors channels, special interest channels (bikeing, bikinis, and beaches etc) and I have about 6 free movie channels in my favourites. Most of the channels have more channels inside, eg the MAN Channel has streaming biking tours, biking info, tattoos, bike building, and so on... Most of the content is streaming and not live, but it is added to all the time and constantly changing as it is an opensource device and anyone can create their own channel.....and because of that fact there is some useless crap on there too, but Roku gives you a favourites section to move the channels you like into so you don't have to sort thru the crap more than once. I like it a lot, but I still need my local channels for news and local sports. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMlYn08CrHs]Roku 3 Review - YouTube[/ame] Brian
  8. wow,youre lucky you caught it before you had a crash... I am curious what the date code is on your Elite 2 , as I thought they were discontinued a few years ago. If its more than 6 years old it might explain the trouble youre having. Brian
  9. looks great, I love all the bling! better hide all that chrome from Angel Brian
  10. so glad that it worked out for ya!!!
  11. I have the Harley pump and it works great with no bleed off when removing the fitting, and it seem like a failry well made piece of equipment for the 50 bucks I paid. My rear shock has groaned on my 03 every cool or cold morning since I bought it in early May, but is fine on the warm mornings. Iv put about 18000 kms on the bike this year and was kinda thinking I might need a shock, but so far so good. I read on the other website that a guy took the shock out and he used the air tube (removed Shrader valve) to syringe in some Marvel mystery fluid into it to help lubricate the seals internally. I don't know if it helped extend the life of his shock, but it was indicated that it stopped the groaning. But it should be noted that he also cleaned and lubricated all of the connections on the shock mounts when he had it out.
  12. Good point!
  13. Hmmm,.... are you working on a G1 or G2 bike??? I am confused... Brian
  14. they just don't last long enough for my tastes...
  15. Crap, I hadn't caught that they don't have a rear for us G2 guys, I was still thinking in G1 sizes I guess..... I wonder if a larger could be trimmed. hmmm Ive seen these on older cars and they look good,you really cant tell that they aren't a real whitewall as it just slides up under your tire bead. Brian
  16. TOO MUCH INFO! DAN! :yikes: :) Brian
  17. As we cant get any decent tires with whitewalls anymore, has anyone tries out the whitewall ribbons that you just add on when you change the tire. Ive seen them used on car tires but not on bikes and I was curious if there was any glitches or concerns with them. Brian http://www.mooneyesusa.com/shop/product.php?cPath=188_238&products_id=1872
  18. Yyeeaahhh, sure... that works well for most ppl, not for me tho ,,,...until the kickstand on the G1 breaks, and you hit the ground with the bike on top of you with a big crowd around you... I was glad I had my helmet on as I hit my head hard and the helmet had some nasty scratches on it:cool10: Brian
  19. thanks for making such a big difference in someones life.....
  20. Well I found out a VERY important thing NOT to do after buying a new can of Pledge to put into the side bag of the bike. DO NOT put any thing on top of it and then close the lid.... It took me about an hour today to get all of the pledge out of the foam pad and to sop it up from between all those little plastic squares in the bottom of the side bag. And then there is the jacket liners and rainwear that need to be cleaned,..... and I also gotta get all of the wax that dripped down out of the bag onto the left muffler ,...off of the muffler .... Brian
  21. HMMMM,...she wouldn't happen to have a single sister? Brian Seriously, Congratulations on your anniversary! I am sure she is as lucky to have found you as you are to have found her.
  22. You should not have any trouble finding fuel during the day on the #1 highway, but at night most places close up. I would start looking for fuel when I get to about a half tank, just in case though.... brian
  23. Its always about something Owl has said....... Brian Ill see what I can come up with and I should see you guys Friday night.
  24. thanks for posting your woes, I will be watching this as I plan on doing exactly this shortly on my 03. Brian
  25. great looking bike, I love the black cherry! Welcome to the group! Brian
