  1. Steve loaded Raindar, WeatherBug, Accuweather and I will tell him about NOOA. They are all different and each has merits... will have to look into widget Google? Really like the real time radar of RainDar... Don't want to get stuck in a tornado when I go out west this year... Thanks Guys! Jay Those are some really nice pics... We'll be posting some from down there... I can taste that fresh seafood now!

  5. Gonna be in Minnesota for a week in July. I need to get my papers in order(passport) to cross the border into Canada.
  6. Words of advice: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure... Adequate Lighting(around entire house) motion detector on sides will work but entrances should be illuminated at all times Get rid of shrubs against house where an intruder could hide. Buy a camera system with battery back up (exactly same as used for computers) a swann 8 camera system will set you back $500 but you'll be able to play back all 8 cameras for 1 month. put the security stickers on the doors and windows (they will start looking for a camera and when they find one they will leave) crooks don't like their picture taken for some reason. LOL If after all of this, someone were to break into my home, I can assure you, that I am in fear for my life and won't hesitate to put a hole in them.
  7. Be careful: snopes.com: Wasp Spray for Self-Defense? Me? I'm gonna put a hole in em

  15. Had a problem with the 2nd gen where the rear brake would lock up with what I would consider medium pressure. While at maintenance day a couple years ago, SkyDoc_17 sold me EBC HH brake pads for the front(increased braking efficiency) and EBC Kevlar brake pads(decreased Grabbing) for the rear. OMG what a difference... the only time my rear locks up now is if I stand on it. P.S. You can also buy Kevlar brake shoes from Dennis Kirk for a lot of bikes. Earls excellent writeup: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/watering-hole/91242-time-pay-bike.html?highlight=brakes+kevlar
  16. Typical West Virginian.."country boys can survive" lol
  17. posted wrong place...
  18. Kevlar brakes aren't as grabby... a light rear end and grabby brakes aren't good... Here are the EBC Kevlar Brake Shoes, From Dennis Kirk, these are for a 2005 Yamaha 650 Vstar custom for 58.99: https://www.denniskirk.com/ebc/kevlar-brake-shoes.p194952.prd/194952.sku Your classic should take same brake shoes...(if it's a 05) Brake pad writeup: Which Brake Pads to Choose? Organic Sintered or Ceramic | eBay
  19. Sorry to hear... Wondering out loud... can you get Kevlar brake shoes for the rear of a 650... would help with the locking up part. I've got them on my RSV and they work great! Skydoc?
  20. 80mg aspirin labeled "Heart healthy"... every day. You probably already know this, but, in case you don't, people die every year from becoming overheated, and take their jackets off while shoveling snow. The skin will cool, and seriously restrict the flow of blood and cause your blood pressure to go ballistic... Glad your ok
  21. You didn't even ask the most important question. Do you have a boat and motor? If so, Please send pictures of it:crackup:.
  22. Thanks for the invite Mike, but we couldn't in good conscience put you and you wife on the spot like that. Hope you didn't think I was suggesting/hinting around to do so. Your offer for the three of us to stay overnight on the 12th is more than enough and deeply appreciated. I called Kingsail and they extended our stay to include the 13th and14th So its all good!
  23. Congratulations Mike! Sounds like they want you back.. Next time I see you, I'll buy you a beer.
  24. Leo, Steve and I will be there wed. afternoon 3/11/15 and possibly the morning of 3/12.
  25. Absolutely! Thanks Don
