    You'll have to fill us in on what the kids did for you Ben

    Keep it up Naptime boy I think it's time for me to come over and "help you" with that dead tractor of yours Dave, The trailer wiring isn't the culprit, just by your testing and tapping on it I would put my money on the fuel pump. I have heard of quite a few going bad, Ponch can hook you up with the aftermarket one and if I have to replace one on the '99 when I get it rolling it will be to the setup he has

    I just went through the same thing with my Dad over Christmas. He had his left ball and socket replaced, doc couldn't believe he was still walking. It's going to be a hard road, but she'll be better off for it...all the best to you both and give that sweetie a big hug for us

    I just talked with Black Owl and he will be the one collecting the funds for all the merchandise. So the payments for individual patches and shirts will go to him. We are also working on a total package for the rally dinner, a shirt and a patch which we will come on and announce shortly. Times getting close....is anyone excited yet???

    OK Folks, I have been working with a patchmaker out on the left coast and she will be doing our patches for the rally. They are a bit pricey, but have 8 colors in them and a good amount of detail. The patches will be $12.50 a piece and we can either send them to you or you can pick them up at the rally. I am putting a poll up for the #'s game on how many we need to have made and it will display your name for how you voted so I can keep track of it. I will come back in a later thread and give details on where and to whom to send the monies to. If you have question PM me or ask them in the thread, I will keep this bumped up to the top and we'll let it run for 2 weeks or so....here is a pic of the patch.

    Use the fuse block for it's intention, I would cut the wires to length and crimp an end on...when you want to do it??

    I do have a set of the Shinko Tourmasters on the '89 I sold Grey Ghost. I have come to the same conclusion, the rear isn't wearing well. I also agree with the sentiments of the performance of the tires. They stick like glue, probably due to the soft compound they are made of, I have about 6K on the tires right now and the rear might have another 1K...maybe. If they would have gone 10K I would have been real happy, the front is in very good shape and I'd wager that I could get 5 or 6 k out of it still. They are an inexpensive tire, I bought both for $119 delivered to my door, but would have to install 3 rears for the kind of yearly riding I do. I am going to change out the tires before I get the bike to Cliff, probably will try the E3's, so thanks for the link

    All the best to both of you, I know it's hard to watch your woman go through the pain. Y'all are in our thoughts

    Good to hear your getting your groove back on Lowell. Being the ambassador is a daunting task and one must be in great shape to voyage the miles
  13. Squidley
    Gary, Get ahold of Frogman or Mamamo as their '99 has a voyager kit on it. I'm sure they could get you off some pics of it's construction BTW great job on the weight loss buddy!

    Ah yes...the virgin rain trip Glad to hear that it pulled well for you, I knew it would. Just remember when you load it to keep the weight fwd and put a decent amount of tounge weight on it. BTW how much air was in the tires when you ran it?

    Hazen, I have a niece just N of Charlotte that we moved down there from Michigan about 2 years ago. He husband is a woodworker/builder and if you like, I could forward your # on to her and see if he knows of some folks on the west side. Have a great trip and NC means you a few hundred miles closer
  23. Squidley
    That definitely sucks, I think a call to the Better Business Bureau is in order
  24. Squidley
    Ken, Where in Spring are you? I am off 242 between 45 and 59. I could stop over if you like and we could take a peek at it.
  25. Squidley
