I hate to say it but your house is PINK

13 degrees here this morning and snow on the ground....I really hate this place at times

Nice work Kevin I like the upgraded speakers in the back too, did you take pics of that mod? I would love to add it to the tech library. Did you do the same to the front ones ?

Dave, There are quite a few donation accounts here on the site. Cerberus (Black owl of old) manages one for the OPE (Out of pocket) fund. Folks can also donate to the site for upgrade costs, to Freebird. I'm on the fence about what I believe your describing, I will always help out a brother in need if I can. But another account would mean someone else to monitor it and accept donations. Were getting ready for another St. Judes fundraising season and I'll be taking funds for that. It's hard to do all of this on a volunteer basis with an internet forum. Dont take what I have said wrong, your heart is in the right spot. But it's hard to defend an account like that when not everyone is going to agree on who or what the monies would go to.

I'm all for innovation...but that one has me scratcing my head as to why did he build it

I know where your coming from Gerry. I too try not to inject too many personal feelings here on the site. Many times they can be misconstrewed and then folks come on and start rants and that just doesn't work real well here. I am of the beilef, like you, that meeting with the group here IS refreshing. I think thats why most of us that make M&E's are addicted to them. I am very glad to see that your daughter was able to get rid of this man and hope that her new man will be a solid foundation for those younguns. I believe that many of us think alike on this forum, it's only when we get face to face that we really talk to eachother. This is just our avenue to set up times that we can "Talk"

I had a Taurus 9mm when I was in the service, good gun and mine shot well too. I believe they bought a Beretta factory in Brazil so amny years ago and started making them there...but that was a long time ago
-
I've been wrong before, but I do hope that David or it's new owner comes on with a pic of who does have it so I can atleast keep track of it

Mike's bike has been upgraded to the MK II forks, the evidence is the electric anti dive on them. So, no, this still means that the MK I's cannot be swapped traditionally to R1/R6 calipers
-
Thats a screaming good deal on an '08 and fellas I do appreciate your thinking of me. Frank I also appreciate you taking the time to post up the bike you have mentioned. I owe $2000 more on my bike and if someone has a budget to live by $2K can break a deal. I always like to see one of our members get a good deal or upgrade to a scoot that they really want...never too many choices

Just so folks know where I am coming from, and this isn't a rant (maybe it is). I am ALL about forgiving people who PROVE BY ACTION that they are sorry for their mistakes and pay up the consiquenses. I am sick and tired of our society here in the US (I dont know how they run things in Iceland) placing the blame on others for their problems. I am also sick and tired of being the taxpayer and helping them try to change when they have no intention on doing it. Lonna's daughter was married to a puke that has 8 kids 2 of them are our grandsons. He has never paid child support on 6 of the 8 and to be honest with you if he was to disappear tomorrow, I would shed no tears. I have had many trials and tribulations in my life, and have had to pay for mistakes that I have made. The biggest question here is, how long do you let a leech suck before you cut the head off ? The biggest loosers are his children, they didn't ask for any of this and now will be scarred for their lives in some way as to their fathers actions. Sorry to come out and perhaps burst a few bubbles about "Squidley" but this kind of thing frost my rear like nothing else you can imagine. I hope that he straitens his act out and becomes productive, but I have serious doubts about that. Stand up and be a man, I do it and I expect others to do it also

No worries Lewis, Riderduke will follow the rules and post who has it....I have a feeling I know who it is and it's pretty close if I imagine right
-
Vengence is mine sayeth the lord....good to see that it will have a happy ending for you folks.

The light on top was an extra piece that could be bought from markland who made much of the aftermarket chrome for the Ventures back in the day. Sounds too like you might have a fender rail too....post some pics and we'll tell you for sure.

If your are able to talk about your wreck, you did some things right and had some luck with you. Lonna and I wrecked at 75 mph on I 10 in Baton Rouge after a massive tire failure. I did everything I could to keep the bike up, which came to me automatically. I did all the manuvers before I could think of them, I was happy to see that happen. I dont think I could have done anything different as I had zero control of the culprit that slashed the sidewall of the tire. I'm always careful about my tires and dont try to push them too far. I'm pretty anal about pressures too, but it was just our time, and how we didn't die I dont know. Like mentioned, ride like nobody see's you and keep yourself out of situations like blind spots on vehicles. I also ride very cautious in cities with my hand ready to brake and shift.

I cringe everytime I see those pics Jerry

Seems to be more of this story than you are leading Gerry

700R4...I talked with Kreg earlier this morning, but I agree with Silvr T lots of electronics that make it shift now a days. Just FWIW the truck has about 135000 miles on it, so for that truck and that trans, it's time for a rebuild. They are notorious for puking at about 125000 miles.

Cool Beans!!! -
Freebird Don?? I hadn't noticed it before, but you could be right (as much as I hate to say that)

Thanks for putting this up Brandy, just sent one out a minute ago. May you and Wayne have a wonderful Christmas season.....Semper Fi

Whatever it takes, nice looking bike and the good gas mileage is definitely a plus
