    2 major culprits there that you took care of, many never think of the vaccume caps or lines. I'm sure this will make a huge difference in the feel of your bike for both of you

    John, I was just talking with a fellow Texan about you today. I know that all the well wishing can be overwhelming and prolong the healing process. All you need to remember is that there are dozens of us here that the phones are always on and always ready to talk with you when you need to, even if it's about nothing. You dont need to say words my friend, we know what your going through....Thank You for coming on and letting us know that your still kicking....Lots of love brother.

    1st off Keep up all your good work, you can all make your goals. I want to take just a couple of paragraphs here and chat a bit. Keep in mind that we are all different and loose weight differently. Dont get discouraged if you have dropped 10 lbs quick and now feel stuck. This isn't a race, if you loose the weight fast you will gain it back fast. I know this isn't the same for everyone, but I have started to notice that I eat way more than I need to. One of the 1st things that I believe anyone needs to do before they try to loose weight is to downsize their portions. Exersize is one of the keys to keep weight off, you can loose weight without exersize, but you will keep it off better if you regularly exersize. Now this may seem kinda funny to some of you, Big old fat Squidley talking about how to loose weight. Way back in another life....I wasn't so fat, matter of fact I was an inch and a half taller and weighed 178 lbs. I worked out everyday and ran a couple miles on the beach when I was stationed in Mayport Florida. As many of us do, we get comfortable and thus lazy and get out of shape, but we can change that if we want to. Right now I am working out at my powerplant as I dont have a gym membership and it's been below zero for quite a few days here. I have been walking our stairwell which happens to be 9 stories tall. Let me tell you something, those stairs are kicking the crap out of me! I mention this to give you folks simple ideas of things you can do to get your heart rate up. I also want to stress that Stretching will greatly help all of you trying to loose weight. I have been doing nothing but stretching for the last 5 or 6 weeks and I haven't had to go to the chiropractor in that time period. Here is a guide at what you should be doing as far as heartrates VS age http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/common/standard/transform.jsp?requestURI=/healthatoz/Atoz/hl/fit/card/aroexcer.jsp I want all of our volunteers to loose all the weight they want to, but I want you to loose it safely. Good luck to all of you and just for those of you that can't imagine a "Skinny Squidley".....here's a picture of me at 24 years old While I was in Uncle Sams Yacht club.

    I haven't owned or seen a 1st gen that didn't leak antifreeze in the cold climates. It's pretty much normal and the only thing besides changing out all the gaskets and O-rings...is keep the garage heated.

    Insurance claim

    Squidley replied to a topic in Watering Hole

    Dont bank on that, look at the market value of it, if it's over $10K I'll bet they will try to fix it. I wont get into the insurance aspect of this thread, but I will say that in a hard crash you will have future problems with the bike if it is fixed. Electronics that take a hard jarring loose a lot of their life expectancy, if it's that close to being totalled, I would let them have it.

    Well as an authorized communicator from King Donald the III I do have the responsibility to keep you folks informed and sometimes entertained. It's a position that I take very seriously and would not want to let his Majesty down due to my laziness....how that Oh look...another post

    Thank you SS I appreciate all your generosity, and everyone that has and will donate....I hope we dont have to give you change either

    Ken, Those are actually Yamaha aftermarket grips, I saw a set in Canada when we were the for the international rally last year. I ran across another set at my local dealer, I dont know if they still offer them? If your interested in a set let me know and I'll keep my eyes open for you

    Cool Beans!! That is a great young lady you have Charlie, and we are VERY proud of her too with all that she has gone through to get her degree. Give her a big hug from all of us and we wish her all the best Nice work 4 paws
  18. Squidley
    Cool looking...I like it. Yeah on the black aspect too

    It's interesting, and I have to say that they are thinking out of the box, nothing wrong with that. The 1st gen was like that when it came out in '83, people went What is that! It's obviously just a bar hopper, and thats fine as there are folks that are into that kind of riding. Obviously we aren't but I have to say that I do like the design of it. As always...I would love to take it for a ride

    Scott, June 6th will be the deadline, we'll weigh in the folks that are volunteering at Dons that are there. The rest of the folks will have to let me know on the 6th via PM or on the site. I will start the pledge right here, I will donate .07 per pound no matter how much is lost by the volunteers

    Makes you wonder how we survived with out these machines

    Great cause...good on him, but I guarantee that that pic is just for publicity. There is no way in hell that he rides in those temps without a helmet. His ears, nose and face would be frost bit off in about 10 minutes.

    Let me say 1st off that I HATE the stock grips, biggest POS (yeah I feel that strongly) on the bike. The diameter for me is too small, my hands go numb after 40 miles with the stock ones. The leather ones are a larger diameter, and my hands definitely appreciate that. I dont know about them getting nasty with the weather as I haven't experienced that....but I love mine.
  24. Squidley
    That is one of my favorites too, got it on DVD, Real men with John Ritter and Jim Belushi is another one, The Mel Brooks films too. I still laugh at Wild Hogs, 'specially when the geek keeps running into things on his bike

    OK Folks, Now it's time to start with the donation amounts. We have our volunteers 21 folks that have taken the baton and will "Run" (pun intended) with our hopes of big weight loss. What we are going to do is have all you members donate towards the total combined weight that all the volunteers have decided to loose, this total is 567 lbs. This weight is what all of us are trying to loose, this also is all that we will ask you folks to honor as far as your donation amounts. If we loose more as a group, the donors will not have to pay above the 567 lbs if they do not wish to. If we end up loosing 700 lbs as a group, thats great and if folks want to donate for whatever the total is thats even better. There is a twist for us who are trying to loose the weight. If we dont meet the goal that we have set for ourselves we will have to pay $1 for every pound we miss our goal by. Kinda keeps us honest about loosing the weight The totals will be taken at Freebirds Maintenance Day on June 6th in Oberlin Ohio. So now it's time to present this to you folks, figure out what you believe that you would like to donate. Just to make it easy to figure out, 0.10 per pound will be $56.70 so you can figure it out what will work for you. As always Thank you to all you that donate and will help to champion this cause. St. Judes is a wonderful hospital and if you went and saw how much good is being done there, you wouldn't hesitate. I will be handling all of the donation amounts, so if your interested in donating PM me with the amount per pound and I'll keep track of all of it. Thank you to all our volunteers who have jumped on board and helped with this idea. Thank you to '93 Venture who thought of it....let the bidding begin Link to 1st thread http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=30853
