It's time for us to have another chat here. Freebird not 2 weeks ago came on and mentioned about threads going south. Today I have closed 2 threads down due to folks coming on and taking them south. There are a couple of rules here, and for the most part, the greater majority of the membership have no problems following them. Political post are never good, they always go south as all of us have strong beliefs, I do too, way heavy (on the edge of being radical) than most of you know, but I dont express them here. We hear of tragedies and that sparks emotions in us, we then say our peace, usually before we take a chance to calm down and think about the consequesnces. It's understandable, but we are grown men and women, many over 40. Some like to fuel the fires and stir the pot, this is not acceptable. THINK before you post up something that MAY be misconstrewed. I know that most start out innocently as information, but they spiral quickley out of control and create hard feelings and get dander up. I am not here to preach to any of you, I am no better than anyone else on this site, but I will come on and give some of us a jerk and let folks know that the moderators wont tolerate this. For some reason this summer seems to be one of the worst for these kinds of threads that are usually kept for winter time when many of us can't ride. PLEASE think about what you post and the reprocussions that can happen by passing on info that stirs up emotions. Lets keep this in mind when we post and we wont have to seem heavy handed by closing or deleting threads. Thank you to all the members that contribute to this site. This place is enjoyable to come to because we try very hard to keep it light and enjoyable. I can speak for myself and the moderators in saying that you folks are very easy to work with. We dont have a lot of issues with the members....so THANK YOU

Replacement Driving Lights
Squidley replied to jpalese's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Both the 1st and 2nd gen will handle the 55 watt bulbs, but I always use the 35 watt to ease up on the charging system. 35 watts are hard to find but I had a website that was posted where I could buy the Hella 35 watt. I'll try to get that info when I get home as it's save on the home computer. -
Folks, I totally understand where y'all are coming from, but before this thread goes south, please keep it light. I too do not approve of what happened with Billy Lane, I know how I feel, but for some reason these days controversial posts seem to spin out of control very quickly. Were all big kids now and we know how the world works, as much as it ticks some of us off.

Good to hear that you got it all done, I wish that I had money enough to ride all year long, good to have you back in 1 piece

Get a nail in a spoke rim tire, instant flat, one in a solid rim can get you home. Spokes can be pretty, but a PITA for maintaining and reliability
-
Glad it was something simple Gil, good to be able to spend some time with you folks
-
Good to see you made it home, wish we had gotten there sooner. many folks I wanted to meet but didn't get the chance

I have done 90 trying to outrun a storm in Ogalala Nebraska. I had no issues pulling it that fast as we were on the slab. I try to keep it around posted speeds, just being mindful that it's back there as sometimes I can't feel it.

As always Dave ...But I know 1st hand that "Filly" knows how to ride, ask her about catching up with the boys at the 1st Pork in the pines after we went back to pick up Stardbog's flag

Were not quite home yet... It was great seeing you 2 at The Hub and Vogel for the few minutes we had. I'm glad your 2 had the opportunity to Really relax. Be safe buddy and we'll see you and Eileen again soon

You boys have lost your minds!

Had a great ride with Sleeperhawk Mechanic and their riding companions, sorry guys on the name block Split off just on I85 and 20 miles out of Charlotte it poured, got soaked...such is life. It's a small pennace to pay for being with the folks you love We'll be here till Wednesday more than likely. Thank you to all who put such an effort into making Vogel happen again this year. Lonna and I have an awsome time and were happy to surprise the majority of the folks. Lewis as always, you did a fantastic job, as well as your entorage. I swear you and Jamie need to take your show on the road, you are nuts when your around eachother Thanks again for a great time and we'll see y'all down the road

Clutch slipping, common, PCW racing, get the upgrade kit and never worry about it again. John Gayne is the owner and it's in Schenectady NY less than $100 and I believe he will ship to Canada

I knew he could do it!!

The pleasure was ours my friend, in about 5 weeks we'll be back down. Thank you again for your hospitality...be safe buddy:thumbsup2:

axle help for 2nd gen

Glad to hear you got it rolling Chris, good talking with you and I hope we get to meet up here soon -
Larry, Your stands are still the best thing around, well worth the money. It's a fact of life these days of rising costs, buy one and you'll never need another one I say
-
Probably paying more attention, I never noticed that there were so many Caprice and Roadmaster wagons until I owned one
-
I had a '90 626 GT turbo, that was a FUN car. Didn't care for the automatic trans as I had it rebuilt once, but the car was a rocket when the turbo kicked in. It was comfortable for me and I'm not on the petite side. I would more than likely own another one if the opportunity came along.

Best bet is to go take one for a ride, I still like the G2 as far as long distance comfort. BMW's are very technology oriented, and are a maintenance nightmare from what I have heard...but thats just hearsay....it's all good
-
Thanks for being there for the family, words are definitely hard to come by right now.

Be safe...Have Fun
