  1. I am glad to see that you are up and around and looking for another venture so soon. After you get some ballpark figures, go to cycletrader.com. There are NEW 2010's, 2009's, 2008's and even 2007's for sale all over the country. Have fun shopping, Steve
  2. when I pick up the Millenium RSV I've bought. Hey Randy, Nice, but you know the rules, PicturesIn Wisconsin this year in order for an insurance company to sell liability, they, by law must add under-insured and uninsured at 100/300, which added $171 per bike. Iv'e checked with two different companies and they both said the same thing. But as far as a multi bike discount, Mine and one other both offer it, but it's not worth talking about. Steve
  3. Ben, I'm amazed and relieved to see you post now. (thanks sis) and I'm very sorry to hear of all that you, your family and friends had to go through. But I hope you all heal quickly and completely. And get some new rides under you. You are all in my thoughts. Steve
  4. My thoughts and best wishes go out to the whole family. Steve
  5. I'd be interested, but not for a couple of years. My DB WWW, Nexen, 165-80-15 has got a lot of miles to go. But thanks for checking this out for us. I'll keep this in mind for the future. Steve
  6. I've been on the BRP and camped. In early June, it's really beautiful. I have been trying to remember the name of the road, (like the parkway) to the north. Anyone? Steve
  7. That's fantastic news. Thanks for passing it on. Anything to avoid Chicago area traffic. that will make the trip out to Don's actually enjoyable. Steve
  8. Gary, Wow, that is very impressive. Can't wait to see her. Steve
  9. Greg, I put a barons rear lowering kit on my 05 RSTD, and did not have to change the side stand. If the barons front lowering kit was installed also, then you would have to have a shorter side stand. There is nothing in the kit except the lowering links, and brackets to change the rear brake mounting. Steve
  10. I'll be heading there from Wisconsin. Really looking forward to this one. Steve
  11. 10 minutes behind the throttle felt like I WOULD get a ticket if I owned one. And the brakes were nothing short of amazing. It stopped faster than it took off. But the seating/handlebars wasn't the most comfortable for me. Steve
  12. I have both, a 250 and a 650. The 200/250 would by far be the better to learn on. Good luck to your son, Steve

    Tents

    I've used the coleman hooligan 3 for 2yrs now, and is the best tent so far. Rain fly goes to the ground, vestibule is great for storing all the stuff I pack and easy up and down. AND keeps me dry 2 thumbs up Steve
  14. Holy cow Charlie, That is a gorgeous combo for sure. Enjoy your new ride and see you around somewhere. And I just bought a KLR. Steve
  15. Cougar, Congratulations to you, but it's not downhill yet. Probably one of the hardest things I've ever done. I also quit cold turkey in 87 after 20+ years of a pack a day. I'd say it took a good 5 years to not want to smoke a cig again. Hang in there and yes, you did smell like that. Yuk, ya, I know, I did too. Steve
  16. Yup, here's mine. Yamaha rack Steve
  17. Not a dumb question at all. FLB is correct in that if you reverse the rear tire, the tread pattern will then match the direction of the front. Reversing the rear and putting it on the front is simply a matter of opinion, or what you feel like doing, and as you know, opinions are like, well, you know, and we all have one. (or more) I stood at a HD dealer down the street a couple years ago and took the same size HD tire, Dunlop 402 MT90B-16 front and rear and stood them next to each other and the tread patter was reversed. Then I took the rear and reversed it and they now were going in the same direction. But to answer you question, that same tire, same size, it is the tread depth that is the difference. Front? 5/32", and rear 9/32". And if you are someone who cares about the width of a WW, the rear is wider. (in that tire) Steve
  18. Whooda thunk it--------Learn something new everyday. Thanks, Steve
  19. Don, or anyone for that matter, have you tried it? I would be interested in seeing how it would work on the my windshield. Maybe I should be the guinne pig. Steve
  20. I used the blue masking tape. Took it right off. Steve
  21. Looks like me and Boo might just have been shipmates on the USS Randolph in 64-66. Med cruise, north atlantic cruise, and carribean cruise. Was also on the USS Kittyhawk in 63-64. Far East cruise Steve
  22. OK, 64 and counting. Steve
  23. Me in my ice fishing gear Steve
  24. My main plan for next summer is to be riding this highway. and I can't wait. Steve
  25. Great news Bubber! They must have seen that you were the guy for the job. Steve
