I have a Morgan Carbtune and like it. I know some folks have had issues with the rods sticking but many times it's because of lots of useage and dirt getting into it. Take them apart and clean them and no more issues. I know it's not the only one out there, but mine works just fine for me

Yes I am Kevin, my goal is 35 lbs by MD I'm right at 285 now, so 250 is my goal for this. This is just the pre screen to see who wants to loose the weight. There is no minimum but like I mentioned be realistic, many of us are past that 40 year mark and some are WAY past it I am a fairly trusting soul, in the fact that I believe that the majority wont cheat on this. Send me your weight in a PM and we'll do the weigh in at MD. There will be another thread where the members can donate to the total weight that all of the volunteers decide to loose. Right now we'll just get folks involved that want to do the actual loss. I'll write down all of the weights that folks want to loose and we'll total all them out. We'll keep this thread rolling for a week or 10 day and then cut it off. Then we will start getting members to donate for it. As always thank you for all that have already jumped aboard...stay tuned

Hey Folks, Well here we are at another New Year, I know many have made resolutions ( I hate that word) and will try to change a negative in their life. Darren (93 Venture) came up with what I think is an awsome idea to raise some money for St. Judes. His idea is for a weight loss for money to donate to St. Judes. I have thought over the holidays what might be the best way and this is what I and some others have brainstormed. We will get some volunteers to be a group that will attempt to loose the weight. They will come up with a weight that they think they can loose before Freebirds Maintenance Day on June 6th. Folks would then pledge so much per pound on the combined total weight that the members want to loose. There is a twist to this also as we want folks to be realistic in their attempt on loosing weight. If someone says they want to loose 40 lbs and they only loose 30 they have to pay lets say $1 per pound that they didn't loose. Keeps people somewhat honest and motivate to lose the weight they said they would. As mentioned if your going to participate in this, BE REALISTIC! dont say that you want to loose 60 lbs in 6 months. This will be a total of all the goals set by the individuals. There will be a second thread started once we have the volunteers where members can donate however much per pound. So what do you folks think....are you up for the challenge??

Good to see you on again Clay, I know how it can be to wait some of that crap out. Keep yourself safe and we'll catch up with you at some point...thanks for what you do my friend
-
Not to worry my friend, plenty of me to go around (yeah I know...wide open on that one)

All good suggestions, but I would think that if your bike is THAT bad vibrating you would notice it. The seats on the '05 Midnights are pretty hard and could cause pressure points. The Carb sync is a great place to start if you have a carb tune set up. A quick question...does or has your wife had back problems in the past?
-
Your '05 doesn't have pillow tops, that would be a good start as they are really comfortable. I would also talk with Rick Butler on this forum about reconditioning your stock seats. He installs memory foam and a tail bone relief and many have had this done with excellent results. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/1023/cat/7/date/1161840513

Yes it can Peg, I dont think this is a man VS woman post, there are some things that others just wont understand. Just human nature, but it is interesting in reading the responces

I'm playing hard to get, beside the best things in life are worth waiting for That is a real good way to get to my heart, but I stand on firm ground and it's gonna have to be REAL GOOD food!

Dan, Give me a call, I can explain it better over the phone than on the forum. Short run on how I do them is make sure the drooping end of the u joint is centered in the tube and directly down. I take the driveshaft and pig and tilt the front fwd and pig up high and slide it in keeping as much angle in the tube as possible. I have had some that fought me hard for an hour and I walked away. Went in the next day after a good sleep and it went right in. Sometimes the gods are against you and walking away makes all the difference in the world.

Any "Gear Head" knows why, some of us are wired with oil and antifreeze in our veins. There is something about having lots of horsepower and the out of body experience that we get with a machine ie; not necessicarily a motorcycle, with lots of power. To me one of the biggest highs is being at a drag strip and a 1000+ horsepower machine rockets down the strip. The feeling of harnessing that power at your fingertips is something that can't be explained. I suppose I could ask some of the women why they love to go shopping. I personally dont get a thrill of walking around all day looking at things that I'm not going to buy. It's the same question that people that dont ride a bike ask...it's not something that can be explained, it has to be experienced

I know how it hurt at 41 to bounce off the highway, not something I want to do again

We know Buddy

Take your time and heal up right, I know too well about laying a bike down I'll second the Uhaul you could even get an enclosed truck one and put it in there. Wish I was closer as I have a trailer that we could get it with. Let us know what you need and we'll try to get something working.

Thank you my friend...a hunting I will go...a hunting I will go

That is a nice setup, if I were to have the cash to get something like this I believe that this would be the ticket with the garage in the back. Get a 1 ton or ton and a quarter pick up and be able to have a vehicle for nasty weather and the bike seems like a win win to me.
