  1. OK, one more raised hand here...
  2. Greased Lightning and a scrub brush. An old toothbrush orks great for getting into the cracks and crevices.
  3. You may want to consider Sandisc"s Sansa line with the expandable memory. I picked up a 2 gig version on sale for $50 last fall, and a couple of 2 gig microSD cards for $20 apiece later on. Sony makes a pretty good onit as well but a little more money. Right now, after spending over $200 on an IPOD and having the batteries tale a dump a year later I am very anti IPOD. Quite the racket there, for $70 they will replace the batteries via replacing the unit, and it will be a used one, and you lose everything in the unit as well... I strongly recommend using a cassette adaptor rather than an FM transmitter. Night and day difference.

    Uhhhhh, to the land of lost socks???
  5. I'm thinking the DX Cruiser model...
  6. ^^^^^^ What he said!
  7. I agree with your "More lights the better" statement. IMO I would love to have my ride light up like a cruise ship...
  8. Looks like I will be converting my 1st Gen into a trike this winter, and I need to know what kits are available for this?
  9. Uhhhh, I guess it depends on how many spare parts he has on hand... PS Ozmonster, I did the exact same thing last summer when I rebuilt my clutch slave. The linkage does look more natural going straight across, doesn't it?!!?
  10. Thank you all for your replies, concerns, and most important prayers. I will be seeing the Dr.again May 3rd. I already mentioned riding season and he mentioned that we stil have time. No gangrene yet and yes, I daily inspect my feet. This whole thing started hen I stepped on a screw that ent thru the bottom of my shoe and I didn't feel a thing. What has complicated the issue are two things, first I am way too active but the second is that the bone for the toe has "dropped" which is aggrevating the issue and retarding healing. Hopefully we can put it off at least until after the International Raly as we are really looking forward to attending. Also, we are looking forward to going to Ashville with Scott and Sherry (Mother and company) in August. After that then oh, well, if we miss the fall folage it's ok I guess. I'm thinking more and more Goldie, and fixing and seling the '85.
  11. As some of you may know, I am a type II diabetic, and have had a foot ulcer for around a year and a half now. Well, I found out today that my middle toe, which has been swollen for some time now, will have to be amputated. Better the toe than the whole foot. I am putting it off until fall after riding season, and am going to convert to a trike, but what I'm really wondering is what to expect, and how long will I be down. Has anyone else been thru this?? I was originally planning on turning the '85 parts bike into a trike, but am now considering triking Goldie. Hopefully I will be able to work on it this winter...
  12. Yup, call me an old fogie, but I never have been a fan of lane splitting. Too many stupid people out there...
  13. I agree, Tom, Pioneer Motorsports is a very good dealership. I can remember them in their old location, small building but good service...
  14. Like Giga says, go wireless only invest in an extended range router and you probably won't need repeaters. Mine works throughuot the house and into the yard!
  15. Been there, done that! Handles better than a trike but that's about all I'll say about it. I'd rather spend the money on a conversion kit instead...
  16. Hey Tom, the pleasure was all mine!! My wife walked in literally right after you left! You must have bumped in to her as you were walking out. She drives that Inferno Red '02 Intrepid R/T that was parked in front of the door. Come to find out, that guy behind the counter, Hank, is the son of my cousin who also works at Moog! Small world! My new Elite II will be in next week. Fer sure we will do a lot of riding this summer. Lots of events for you to attend as well. BTW that sure is a pretty ride you have.
  17. Welcome aboard! Fairings are getting hardr and harder to locate these days, but can still be found for a reasonable price. Is yours completely missing or just has cracks? there is a lot of products out there specifically for repairing plastic and even replacing missing pieces. Devcon, and Plastex are a couple of the most popular. You want the double syringe type epoxy specifically for plastic. There have been several threads discussing plastic repair. I'm sure you will enjoy the people here and make a lot of new friends!!
  18. We decided NO NEW PROJECTS this year except to finish a couple of things that didn't quite get finished last year, and spend more time riding and entertaining friends...
  19. I'm pretty sure they are replacible left to right but not front to back. I may have a spare one laying around somewhere if you wanted to take a 4 - 5 hr ride up here...
  20. When's your first trip across the border going to be??
  21. Welcome aboard!!! Great bunch of people here!
  22. Got Goldie out of the shed and into the garage. Unfortunately I never hooked up the trickle charger so battery was at 10.8V. Found out my battery charger took a dump so hooked up the trickle charger this morning. The battery is now up to around 11.9V... Gonna go to Sears and buy a new charger tomorrow.
  23. I'm with Carl!! I remember this one old guy that always said "Son, it's nice to be nice..."
  24. I broke 3 ribs when I dumped my CX650, guess that means I can wear one of those patches too!! Let me know when you find a non-Harley one! Soooo glad you are on the mend so well, looking forward to seeing you at Marcarls next month!
