    I have to say that it is very nice to see pictures of Jerry/Boo. It really makes a guy think about your time here and the good friends that you make while your here. Here is a picture from a ride back in the summer of 2008 up in the hills of southern Wisconsin. A great day was had by all. (notice the VENTURE sign?)

    Thanks for letting us know Eck. Boo has been up here a couple of times and he will be missed for sure. We did share some good Navy stories. And served on the same ship. RIP Boo

    Naturbar, I'm very glad to hear that you both were able to walked away from your accident. (can't imagine watching my passenger fly over my shoulders though:)) It is very good news that she does not have to have surgery to heal that shoulder too. Reflecting is always an interesting thing. Where you were looking etc. I catch myself thinking about this sometimes in corners myself, like where I'm looking. And especially after a corner that I went into a little hot. It's nice that you have that sports car to play with. That should be fun itself. After reading that you are giving up riding it got me thinking. I'm a little older than you and when the time comes for me to give up the bikes, I'm going fishing. My friends give me a hard time now as to why I don't use my boat. There is only so much time, and a guy has to choose which toy he plays with. Well, when I stop riding, I'll play with my boat. the best to you both,

    I definitely like it. Especially if I do a search for something and then I can see other threads that might be helpful. I don't think that it is obtrusive at all. Bubber, Bubber, Bubber, what are we going to do with you?

    Perfect! Those are the ones that I'm looking at. They had a glove liner kit which included the wires and controler but it is discontinued. I have an email off to them to check on it. I also have their phone number to call. I have so many pairs of different types of gloves that I think the liners would be the way to go for me.

    Thanks, I'd be interested in trying the Hippo hands, and have time (as you know, winter is here) to look around.

    Does anyone use the gloves alone, without the vest/jacket, etc.? I was thinking about hippo hands too. My hands are the one part of me that gets cold beyond the comfort range that is acceptable to me. I was trying to imagine running the cord from the gloves to ??? I think normally they plug into the jacket/vest, right? I'm looking for suggestions.

    It's all about the user experience and the friendships. I think that says it all.

    I just had my daughter log on to FB to see this site, and of course it is a closed one as you all know, but Who started it and WHY? 452 members? So you can get around using VR forum? Doesn't make any sense to me.

    Love the wheel covers. How are they held on?

    Sounds great, BUT------------ Can't wait to see some of these mods.

    I think that these things are really neat, and I always wanted something like this when I was working to drive back and forth in the winter, but now not so sure. I can understand why you can't find anyone to insure them, as they are not being made yet. I would think that being 3 wheeled, it would have to be licensed as a MC though.

    You didn't say if you had a trailer, but if you load it in your pickup, backup to a hillside, so it's more of a level loading situation. You can use a plank to load. Either way, good luck A trailer might be lower to the ground and longer, so that might work too.

    Take it off of your to do list. You do enough and we don't need it.

    My project for this winter is to change both tires and all fluids in the bike. Got the tires done today. Fluids will not be done before the holidays.
  16. eagleeye
    It's cleaned up and mounted, and the bike back together. Just got home from getting the new front Shinko mounted. 130-90-16. I don't have that one cleaned up and on the bike yet. I stopped to get some beads but the shop didn't have them so sometime before spring I'll put them in. The front tire I had balanced and won't put the beads in it. I did take the opportunity to clean up the bottom and back of the mufflers which never happens otherwise.

    Thanks for the tip on baby powder. I've used it on tires with tubes for that reason myself, and I agree it works great. I took it to a tire shop and he used a different lube and it went right on. I'm going to use beads inside this tire for balancing.
  18. eagleeye
    Yup, one side just wont' go over the hump. But as you know, no tube type tires here. YET

    My mechanic tried everything. slime, silicone, aired up many times. He took it off of the rim and I polished it and tried again. Now it is sitting near the wood stove with approx 60+ lbs of air in it for the night. One side just won't go no matter what. Maybe the heat will do it. If that doesn't work, I'm going to take it to the tire store and see if they will use their blaster on it. If that doesn't work I'm taking my heat gun to the shop and we'll try that. I'm listening__________

    Thanks, making it one picture is the hard part. I've tried with what I have on my computer, but can't get it saved. I'll work on it. And as I read it, the 3 made into one need to be no bigger than 100X500, which should work.

    It's 5 years later,and I still haven't figured out how to add both maps. I tried the links but they didn't work. Any help would be appreciated
  22. eagleeye
    I think I've learned more about the new one than I knew about the old one. And am getting on good. New or old, I'm always trying to figure things out. Well, I see adding my visited states maps didn't work. I think I know what I did wrong though, so I'll try and fix it. Well, I got one of them.
  23. eagleeye
    I have to ask about the NO SALT part. Here the roads will be white for many months to come. But It was a beautiful day here too and I did think about taking a bike out for a ride. Cold, but nice! It would have to be the chopper.
  24. eagleeye
    Hope they get it sorted out. Good group of guys. I've been a member here and there. I enjoyed riding with both.

    Congratulations Mike, Hope I get there some day.
