  1. Just as soon as we can sell the house we are south bound....I can't stand Michigan anymore, they can keep the cold

  3. I have been looking to get a Zumo...this is very good news as the price will go down on the 450 & 550's
  4. Nice bike Lutz....be safe on her, I imagine she "Bucks" pretty hard if given the chance
  5. That would be my guess also
  6. Smart Man...go with leveling links and the 150 front, I'll not go back to the 130, 1 time was enough with the type of riding we do.
  7. I am going to build my next one with the help of my guru neighbor. I WONT be giving Bill Gates anymore of my money, I'm going to go with Linux on this next one and go from there, Microsoft just irritates me to no end, so I will refuse to support them in any future computers...theres more than 1 way to have an operating system.
  8. Nice one Boss
  9. Hey Folks, Some of you local folks know that I have a very good friend that owns a Honda dealership in Richmond, Michigan here called Peak Powersports. http://peakhonda.com/default.asp Quincey and I have been good friends for right at 10 years and I would do anything for him. I lead a charity ride that a few of our members participated in last September..... Anywho. He has a great sale going on right now until Febuary 20th on Dunlop tires. I know there are quite a few of you folks that like the Dunlops and I'm going to do everything I can to give him a shot in the arm as the economy here in Michigan is sucking badly. Deal is he needs to get orders for 20 of tires by Feb 20th and his distributor will give him a great discount. He is passing the saving on and has offered this up. If you place an order and pay for the tires before Feb 20th he will mount and balance the new tires on your rims that you bring to him for FREE. He will also do them if you bring in the bike, but you'll be charged the labor for taking them off the bike and back on. His prices are VERY competitive with the online stores and he stands behind what he does. I dont put my name on many things or companies that I dont trust, Q is one of the best. If your local here in Michigan and are needing tires for whatever scoot you own (That includes dirt bikes and ATV's) please give him a call and see what he will do for you. Quincey is the owner and his youngest son Nick works for him as well. Check them out as they have a lot to offer
  10. My '08 does the same thing under hard accelleration, as mentioned it's a level indicator and not pressure...your good
  11. There are a few that ride here right off the top of my head Naugh-t Brad T's wife Gail O HalRSV99 wife Rhonda Barnes Brick's wife Dizzyblondekid Tazmocycle's wife Sue The Jesters wife Char Mamamo Frogmans wife Thats right off the head with CRS Hope to see you at some of the events
  12. That is a nice looking setup, but I agree with Don $500 bones is a lot of cash, 'specially if you can't hear it 1st
  13. This is just me thinking out loud, but why would you need more advanced weather. Not meaning to be a smart alec but if your in a Hotel/Motel you look at the weather channel before you leave for the day and see if your going to at some point be heading into bad weather. As far as traffic doesn't the GPS give you a heads up of traffic snags if your headed in that direction
  14. Trust me...he is If you decide to go West, all the way to the coast, (BTW the coast highway IS worth that distance) keep in mind that you would be pushing it a bit on a 30 day trip @ 300 miles a day. Lonna and I did a 10000 mile 28 day trip in '06 and granted we hit 3 rallys we had to push it hard a few days (750 + mile days) and never less than 500 miles on any of the traveling days. If you make it north to my neck of the woods I'll offer you the same as I do anyone on this site. A hot meal and a nice bed to sleep in, I'll even show you a few nice places here in Michigan
  15. No worries Bluez, if you get a date that you want to do it, we can shoot over to you and install them at your place
  16. The slide and diaphram are 1 piece and as mentioned by Mini the needle is the removable part. You should take the diaphrams and hold them up to a bright light and look through them for holes. Also I have seen where folks have installed them wrong and the edge was folded over and not working properly. The 1st gen is very picky on the air box and it doesn't take much for it to make it a bit out of whack. Here are a few pics just for grins
  17. I honestly dont know how much I have lost, not much unfortunately. I have been working on changing my eating habits and eating less. I also have been doing a lot of stretching and walking all 10 stories of the stairs at work twice, I can feel the difference. It sucks as I was really getting to feel good last week early and then my back acted up. I spent all last weekend and up till thursday this week taking it easy as not to aggrivate it. Yesterday it was back to the routine and it felt good (although the weight lifting is making me hurt pretty good) It sounds like many of you are on a good path and are getting into a solid routine. Just remember to keep things liveable, I know that mentally training myself to scale back on eating and desserts is a big challenge. I'm real proud of all you folks for sticking to it, no matter how much we loose, it's good for all of us as we'll hopefully be around a lot longer to drive eachother nuts
  18. Wayne, I have to say that if you do an east coast US/Canada trip then I would suggest that you see some of the Upper Pennisula of Michigan. The "Mighty Mac" is a sight to behold and ride across. Michigan (outside of the SE portion) is a very beautiful state. The NW lower Pennisula is very nice, the Tunnel of Tres is a place to see and pretty much everything on the west side of the state. Post up an route and you might be surprised who would come to ride a bit with you...give a call or PM and I'll see if I can get you a few points of interest
  19. If you order them here and send them to my house they will be waiting for you when you get here. Ask and SW Ontarian about my "Storage Facility"
  20. That rear diff dipstick is a rare as hens teeth
  21. If you want to buy someone a D9 send it to me, better yet I'll come and pick it up
  22. Ron, Thank you for taking the reigns and drumming the support for the cause, very good of you
