  1. I think he is saying that his thinking of putting a metz 880 tire intended for rear use on the front of his scoot. Brian
  2. A month ago a couple of friends and I went on a 8 hour ride each wat to Drumheller Alberta. I had my 85, gordo from here was on his 2000 MM and Reg was on his new Harlet Ultra. I had to stop earliest for fuel as my tank was smallest but Gordo and I were within a few pennies on every fill. BUT the Harley killed us on mileage, I didnt get Reg's mileage but it was substantially better than either Gordo or I. Brian
  3. SHHHHHH!!!!! dont tell them, but we all like them too!!! 2 better people cant be found anywhere, i am glad they were able to help you out. Brian
  4. basically thedifference is the G1 is more like a sports tourer and the G2 is more like a harley cruiser-tourer. The g2 is feet forward and a typical cruiser bike. Both bikes use essentially the same drivetrain, its just the configuration of the bike around the engine thats so different. Brian
  5. It started as a thread for the g1 bikes though. Brian
  6. I didnt know that was the technical term for it... .....lol Brian
  7. wow, i am so sad to hear this. My thoughts are with Ponchand lil bit and their familes right now. I hope he is headed for a full recovery. Brian
  8. If youre going to be around Regina and are ready for a cuppa coffee or an icecream, just give me a call. I also have a sofa and futon if youre here for the evening and dont want to camp. My number is in the profile or txt me at 306-539-0728 Brian
  9. There is about 5 miles on construction on hiway16 between glendive and sydney down to 2 lanes and about 2 miles of driving on hard pack clay surface, but no delays. There is also some heavy construction between Belfry and Billings on 72 that was almost unpassable on a bike but youre not going that way so you should be ok. brian
  10. Ok, it might be a good idea,.....but is there a more manly colour of lock avaialble? Brian
  11. So,.....You hiding your bike or your wife?????:rotf: Brian
  12. fantastic that you stopped to help out, it means the world to someone in need of a hand. the help-each-other attitude is what makes riding a scoot such a great experience! Brian
  13. Good Deal hunting! Brian
  14. that lil black box on top of your battery is your fusebox, some people have had issues with the old style tabs that hold in the glass fuses getting loose, so they replaced the fusebox with a newer holder that uses plugin fuses. Check with Skydoc in here he sells a kit with instructions to do the upgrade. Brian
  15. last girlfriend had that trailer and it was great and simple to camp with, she loved it and I was amazed how much space it had. Her solution was to just find some medium height rubbermaid style bins that bungee'ed to the top of the trailer for extra storage. Hers also had some 3 or 4 inch high x 12 in wide x 30in long deep pull out trays mounted under the trailer for stuff like tent pegs, marshmallow sticks etc. Brian
  16. I got a ubolt attached to a ram mount and attached that to the round part on the handlebars, kinda between the grips and the square aluminum bars. Ill try and get a pic later. brian
  17. Why not take the tape deck out and create a small box in that spot for storage. You can jumper the connections so the sounds system doesnt need it pretty easily. Brian
  18. Yamaha hasnt honoured the warranty on items purchased in the US and brought into Canada ,.....ever! So I am thinking its up to the individual company to set their own rules on warranty. Anyone that buys a US bike can take it back into the US for warranty but in Canada the dealers wont do the work under warranty. Brian
  19. Dunno if that would tell you anything for sure, as my 85 is the same as a MK2 ok, I just chatted with him on Facebook and found out that the bike is infact an 84 MK1 with different bags. Darn, youre right again Jack! and uuhhhh....so is Rocket....... Brian
  20. I guess not everyone has the spider monkey-like hands with the long skinny fingers like you do..... brian
  21. Great pics Jack, It was fantastic seeing you again! I hope some of that Crown made it home to be enjoyed at a more leisurely moment!!! Thanks for all you have done to make my vacation the best ever!!!!! Brian
  22. I know but he told me the scoot was an 88 and it does have the mk2 bags. so i dont know what to think brian
  23. welcome to the site! A vmaxed 83, sounds marvellous! Brian BTW your link to FB doesnt work right, it looks like youve copied your email addy to FB not the actual URL.
