    Heck...I WANT you under the radar...not really under it but right in it...that way I can get a "lock" on you and then a direct hit.

    OH...and there are still 8 available. I do have one set aside for Aussie Annie but she hasn't answered my PM for her address. Has anybody heard from her over the past few days? Hope she's OK.

    I know how to stick one. It is done.

    Come on folks...let's be careful now. We actually have...or at least had...at least one Arab member here and he was a stand up guy.

    I'm glad that this was brought up. I got the email from the member yesterday asking me to delete his profile here. I've had a few such requests over the years and I know that people come and people go but this was an active member with almost 1200 posts here. He was very kind and gracious in his request and told me that he has tried to have thick skin but that it was just really getting to him lately. He pointed out a number of threads that started with nothing to do with Harleys and ended up as Harley bashing threads. I tried to talk him out of leaving but though he was again very nice about it, he said that it was just time for him to go. It really bothered me folks. The bottom line is, he is exactly right. I cringe every time I see another Harley bashing thread start. I really hate making more rules here and so have pretty much just let them go. It's hard enough trying to enforce the PG rating and no politics. It is happening way too often though. I've never made my feelings about the Harley or the riders a secret. I've come close several times to buying an Ultra and the only reason I don't own one is the simple fact that I can't afford one. That is not saying that I would part with my RSV, I love it also. I will also tell you that I've known and ridden with many Harley riders and have never had an issue with a single one of them about what I ride. Yes, there are some out there with the attitude but I've probably met just as many on other brands. The fact is, Good people are good people, regardless of what they choose to ride. Folks with attitudes will have those attitudes whatever they choose to ride also. I know that we have lost more than one member due to this issue and I sincerely wish that it would stop. Good natured teasing has always been welcome here and always will be but some of this has gone far beyond good natured teasing.

    All of your decals were mailed this morning. Thanks.

    Just to let you all know. I am on the road again this week but stopped by the post office and shipped all your mugs this morning. They all went out Priority USPS so you should have them soon.
  8. Freebird
    Yep...I've still got some.
  9. Freebird
    and now there are 8 available.

    I've been thinking of picking one up for my wife's car. I already have a Zumo 550 that I use in my car and on the bike. Walmart has the Nuvi 855 for $217.00. Any feedback on that one? Thanks
  11. Freebird
    Got it. That leaves 9 more folks.
  12. Freebird
    Got it. Will get them out tomorrow. Got it. Will get them out tomorrow. Yes.
  13. Freebird
    Got both. Ten more remaining folks.
  14. Freebird
    OK folks...the mugs are here. I just spent a couple of hours getting them all addressed and ready to ship. I will get them out first thing Monday morning. There are only 12 left so if you want one, you best get it ordered. Don

    Randy, I am truly sorry to hear this news. Please know that Marcie and you are both in our prayers. I know that you have been through a lot over the past year or two and I pray that this not as serious as it sounds like it could be. Either way, please know that we are here for you. Don

    Excellent addition. I have copied it to the cooling articles in the Second Gen Tech Library.
  17. Freebird
    Nice work.
  18. Freebird
    I would LOVE to have it for the RSV. One version should cover all the years.
  19. Freebird
    I've also replaced the old post in the First Gen Tech Library with this new one. Thanks again Dingy for all your hard work.
  20. Freebird
    Congrats and I wish you both many happy years. As for being quiet and private...just post the address here and we'll just see about that.

    Pretty high output at very low amperage but at $500.00. I'm OK with what I have. For driving lights and headlights though, there is no doubt in my mind that LEDs are the future. http://www.webbikeworld.com/lights/motorcycle-led-driving-lights/

    Folks...there are people on both sides of the car tire issue that feel very strongly about whether or not it is a good idea, safe, not safe, etc. Those who choose to run a car tire got very upset that they couldn't discuss their various configurations without others here jumping in on the conversation and expressing their opinions that it is NOT safe to do. Because of those heated arguments, I created a forum especially for these "darksiders" to discuss their experiences. So now I ask that it NOT be debated here.

    I agree. Syncing the carbs is not going to affect how rich or lean the bike is running.

    Hey...all you talking about birthdays...that will be Eileen's birthday also. Do I know how to throw her a party or what.
