Mike: I will take a set for my bike, also. Jim

I have E3's on my 89 VR and agree with Daitan. I am also a fair weather rider (mostly) except for Don's MD last year when Marcarl brought that deluge with him from Canada!! Anyway, mine are two years old and still look new. About 6,000 miles on them. They seem to ride good, but that is subjective in my mind, and I have always had Dunlops, so I don't have any reference to compare to other tires. I am sure there are other tires out there that ride softer than E3's and handle better because of softer rubber compound , sidewall flex, etc., I just have not used them. And I don't really have a reason to change to a different brand unless there is a problem with Dunlop. BTW, I consider myself an average rider. I don't usually scrape the pegs in the twisties. Jim

Rob: I have one, brand new in the packaging. Send me an PM with your address and I will mail it tomorrow.

I have one but I don't know where it is at the moment. It is in my bike storage area. I will look tomorrow and get back to you. Jim

Hey Bob: I suppose your going to want a wet bar, too!!! How about a hot tub???? :rotf: :whistling: Jim

That looks too fast for me!! Both of them!!!!!!! Jim

Randy No, it doesn't touch the backet. I don't rest my hand that far up the grip. I have small hands. Jim

Larry: Buy more lights, you can never have enough of them. Safety chrome is always good! I bought one on the first buy and I really like the way the switch fits on the handlebar, it looks good, too. Jim

Here ya go, Kevin! :icon_lurker: Jim

Hey Carl... Trying to make a little extra income?? Snow plowing season must be a little slow?? :rotf: Jim

I saw the same ad.............$7.95 plus shipping and if you purchase a diploma in the next 24 hours, they will send you a second one for FREE !!!! Then you can make TWICE as much money doing two operations at once! Only available on TV though and it is a limited time offer!! (only 365 days a year!) Be the first on your street to get one!!!!!!!!! CALL 1-800-00000000000 NOW! Jim (Just call me DR. Jim!)

If I remember right someone posted, in the past, that when the 2nd gear problem was fixed by the dealer, they prick punched a dot next to the serial number on the engine or gearcase. Maybe on the right side behind the oil filler cap?? Not exactly sure of the location of the serial number, the old dementia is kicking in and CRS! Jim

Miles: Do you keep them for their milk or cheese? Or are they just pets. I can see you on the floor, on your hands and knees trying to milk one of those! Jim

I retired at Christmas of last year (2 months ago) and I have been so busy that I have lost 12 lbs.!! I'm working harder now than when I was employed. This retirement stuff isn't all it is cracked up to be. My Other Half has a "honey do" list that keeps me busy from dawn to dusk. She says it "keeps me out of trouble". Something about idle hands and the devil. I don't know what she is talking about. Jim

Hey Tom: Which one is harder to train, the two legged one or the four legged one????? Jim

Tom: I was at Fox Farm Antiques last week and he had two longbows for sale. You might want to call him and see if he still has them. They are located just west of Avon NY, where rts 5 & 20 split (Telegraph Rd). Here is his website ......http://www.foxfarmantiques.com Jim

Oh well, 11 inches of snow is just another winter day here in WNY. We had 16" a week or so ago and the roads were in good shape. They didn't even close the schools. We have this kind of weather all the time here and also the towns and cities have the equipment to handle the weather. I was in Atlanta once and they had 2" of snow and it just paralyzed the whole city. I saw pickup trucks loaded with salt and they were spreading the salt by hand with shovels from the back of the pickup. Jim

:icon_lurker:

It's an electronic brake that monitors a small electrical charge that is in the blade. When skin contacts the blade the voltage (or resistance) in the blade changes and it triggers an automatic stop. The human body has a built in voltage or resistance charge. Not sure what it is called. It is a one time brake, when it is activated it is damaged and has to be replaced. Jim

MD at Don's is Saturday June 8th. Most riders show up on Thur or Fri. Free camping at Don's if you have a tent or camper. He has plenty of room.

We do ride, a lot........................from one ice cream stop to another ice cream stop! This Forum is made up of members who have a eating disorder and also happen to ride scoots! Remember......the first step to recovery is to admit you have a disorder and then ride to the nearest ice cream shop and indulge in your obsession! :fnd_(16): :essen_018: Big Tom will explain it to you when you meet him. He even has an ice cream truck come to the Pioneer WNY Rally every year so we don't even have to ride to indulge in our obsession. Big Tom is always looking out for us (and our waistline!!). Jim

JB Thanks for the PM's. I am going to put the wood sides on the lift and also tighten up the wheel chock with washers. Both are good ideas and make the loading much safer and easier. Jim

Hey Ben....Welcome to the Forum. This is the best forum on the web and it has the most knowledgeable and giving people you will ever meet. We have a very active group in Western NY and we get together often for rides. As BongoBob stated, we have Meet & Eats all during the riding season and his July 4th party is always a great time. Big Tom has a rally every year in Arcade which is a weekend long event with camping available. I live in Rochester, so I am only 45 minutes from you. I am a retired OTR driver and now have plenty of time to ride. The people on this forum have a wealth of technical knowledge and experience and can answer any of your questions. The only prerequisite to join is that you must like ice cream!! Just ask Big Tom. Jim

Hey Bob....come on up to Racha cha... My bike needs new brake fluid and SS lines installed! Also new rear tire. That should keep you busy for a day or two. Well, it might take a couple of days longer because of the beer breaks!! I have a well stocked frig. We even have free room and board. :) Jim
