  1. Believe me, we have PLENTY! Besides I wouldn't want you wearing that Whitewasher out early this year! I can hear crunch crunch crunch behind me, and I turn to look and my dog is eating snow balls from his paws. He loves the snow (a collie) :173:but he seemed extremely concerned when he walked out there and it was touching his belly! Have a little mercy man!!! You know, Larry, I just cant seem to shake the feeling that this isn't the first time you've gloated to a snowed in feller about having 70 degree weather. Hey was it at least ride-able weather?!
  2. Well we got about 2 feet of the white stuff today. I don't even need to tag @cowpuc to point the blame here. Its no secret by now! Although, you have to love the typical 35mph Nebraska winds that kick up when fool fires up his White Washer. I even thought we were done with it, the old white stuff (now more brown and patchy) was all but a memory for us here in NE Nebraska. Not so much anymore!!! Its not too much of a loss however, I did manage to get some laundry done and hang up some drapes. Felt like a real adult today! And I know how you guys are about pictures, so don't worry, I've included a few! Look at my poor car! Its buried!!! Ya'll are even lucky enough to catch an avalanche as seen in my wonderfully directed video!
  3. With Honda coming out with the Sabre (?), their version of the chopper, and Yamaha coming out with the striker. People can get good, name brand choppers for a lot less money and get more of a bike with it. Its unfortunate seeing a small private owned company go out of business, but hey, that's capitalism!
  4. Congrats on retiring buddy! Dont worry about me I get jealous easily
  5. If you ain't working you ain't ridin'. Sorry dems the rules!
  6. Well I do know that I have a study clutch fluid leak coming from somewhere in the system. I had originally thought it was leaking from the master cylinder, but I replaced the seal for the cap and it leaking completely. Then after taking it to California I went to the hills with my buddy and totally lost my clutch right before we went into Rapid City. I was really concerned and baffled because the clutch reservoir was full. I pulled into the service station and asked the gentleman to borrow a screwdriver, but he wouldn't let me because he said If I screwed up my bike because of the tool he let me use, He'd be responsible and I could sue him for an accident. What a crock... so I told the gentleman in a pretty smart tone that I would just have to put my helmet on and ride into rapid city with no clutch... thanks for the help, pal.... So anyways we got to Wally World and I bought some wrenches and a screw driver, and tried to bleed the clutch. I couldn't get any fluid to come out of the bleed screw so I thought I really had a problem. I then unscrewed the cap and realized that it may have looked like I had full fluid, but with it sucking the fluid into the lines, it actually pulled that rubber boot down into the open spaces that the fluid used to take. So in essence, there was fluid totally covering the sight glass, but the rubber had filled the reservoir. So I went back in and bought some DOT 3 and filled it, bled it, and went home. So I know its leaking, and I had originally thought it was in the oil, but when I change the oil, it always looks clean and chemical free. The smoke and the smell seems to be coming up from the fake fuel tank and rising just in front of the seat. Its nasty smelling and doesn't smell like oil or antifreeze. Its also hard to tell if just the slave cylinder is leaking because it also leaks a little oil from that side cover gasket. I took care of all the antifreeze leaks and its sat all winter with not a drop of anti-freeze plus you can REALLY tell the difference in smell. So I guess I'm thinking definite slave cylinder. I suppose I should upgrade to steel lines while I'm at it huh?
  7. that 2003 gave you away
  8. Bad to the bone! How long did it take to turn it around in your driveway? Lol:stickpoke:
  9. Are you, by chance Brain Fries from facebook?
  10. I agree the trunk slider will be the single most important accessory you'll get if you ride two up. I'm about 6,3 and with a little 5 6 lady on the back of dads I was totally cramped. Definitely turned me off of the Harleys but dad says his new one with the trunk slider saved it
  11. Hey yall, So I know I've got a slow fluid leak coming from the clutch system somewhere. I went out to the garage today and fired up the old girl and pretended to ride her in the garage for about a half hour. Now whenever I'd let it sit for awhile something would run onto the exhaust and cause a decent amount of smoke to roll up from the middle of the bike. I had always thought that it was oil leaking from the valve cover gaskets but after letting her sit for a month and getting it really smoking I don't think its oil. Oil always has that "burning oil smell" and this smells neither like oil or antifreeze? Is it possible brake fluid is getting on my pipes and making a smoke that has its own unique smell? If its leaking from the master cylinder can it get on the pipes? Thanks in advance guys. BTW 88 Venture royale
  12. Question for ya Puc. So if it heats up real well on all four pipes pretty evenly, but mileage takes a dump. It would be more than likely a sticking/holy carb diaphgram right? Dealing with a similar issue on my 88
  13. You Freakin' Turd
  14. Better ask it now
  15. Curious to see where this is going to head. If they can get the base price close to that, and make It a quality product, for the price Id have to buy one
  16. Green light means headset on
  17. I've been to South Padre in January before. I was about 12 years old so this was going on 10 or 11 years ago. I remember mom wanted to run on the beach, so I joined her and... well lets just say I didn't trip, but still managed to find myself on my belly with a mouth full of salt water ]
  18. I saw a similar set up with snowmobile paddles and skiis. Looks like a way for me to rapidly destroy... er trim someone's landscaping!!!!
  19. Yeahhh I cant help but think they get all the dirty looks
  20. Rifle? What rifle?
  21. That Miata is a boat Randy!
  22. Well you guys made me feel a little more comfortable about riding. I don't get concerned about much, but my bike is one of the few, special things that I really get passionate about, and I'd hate to see it taken away by politics!
  23. I could think of more places that thing wouldn't go than places that it would go! lol
  24. Whether or not he'll be riding in the afterlife, I do know one thing for sure. Its certainly original, and the man truly loved his passion
