  1. So THAT'S what they mean when they say "Loud pipes save lives".... If you can't hear them whining you don't have to kill em! (But then....they might kill you!)
  2. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXfIRHoJu-o&feature=em-hot]10 new bets that you will always win - YouTube[/ame] some of them are pretty good!
  3. Might be a dumb question....but did you make sure you were in neutral?
  4. I'm still trying to find what extra dollar Ben is talking about! Maybe he's just testing us
  5. I use a 2 x 6 under the back wheel...then very easy.
  6. nope. me neither.
  7. not sure if he is into body parts....but Skydoc17 is my main source for mechanical parts and supplies for some modifications. There are several member vendors with ads in the classified section.
  8. With the bike on the center stand, move to the front of the bike and straddle the front wheel. try to Jiggle the wheel front to back. As if you were trying to bend it at the headstock. Be careful you don't pull the bike forward off the stand! If you have any play or feel any "clunk" then your steering head bearings are shot. Not a biggie....can be fixed over a weekend. Does the class system work? What air pressure are you running? There are a lot of folks here who know a lot more than I do but you certainly came to the right place. Best $12 I ever spent!
  9. Where to next? If you are going towards Toronto you'll be close to here. Let me know where and when and I'll try to hook up and buy you lunch or something....(tea?.....beer?.... ?.....? )
  10. That, my friend, is an expression of disgust or distain... often uttered by English gentlemen while peering over their glasses. At least....it is often uttered by THIS English gentleman!
  11. Canadian football's field is 110 yards long, and I think 5 yards (10?) wider. Also the endzones are deeper. The football itself is a larger diameter (hence "bigger balls")...and we only have 3 downs to make the 10 yards for a first down. (hmm....wonder why it's not 10 meters....we are metric after all!) The larger field and fewer downs means passing plays a larger role in the Canadian game.
  12. If this was NOT a test post then we would reply because we all know what a waste of time it is responding to a post that is only a test! so if it is a test we would respond because why would we respond to only a test? If it's only a test does that mean it's meaningless? I've had a lot of meaningless tests over the years....and I've had some meaningless posts that weren't tests. I mean.....it's not even winter yet!
  13. It was a beautiful sun shiney day! Washed and polished the bike. Thought it would be a great day for a ride.....first time on it since I got home from MD. But about 1/2 hr into the ride (way out in the middle of no-where)the sky got black and opened up! Rain was not so bad but the hail HURT! The hail was the size of marbles, lightening all around me. I tried riding thru it but I couldn't even see 20 ft. in front of me finally I pulled into a driveway to take shelter under a garage eve. You can see the amount of water coming off the drain spout! Nice day for a ride? HARUMPH!
  14. if you get a boost do so with a NON-RUNNING car....otherwise you could do more damage.
  15. That's Carl.....doesn't know if he's coming or going!
  16. are we talking about Toyota and Pmleah again?
  17. Very sorry for your loss Dan! You will see your wife again in the resurrection, without all the baggage of ill health and advanced years.
  18. awwww! I wanted to be first!!!!
  19. I 2nd that the passenger has to sit still at low speeds. My wife always looks into the corner so her head is on the same side of center as the corner...helps her follow the lean into the corner better. You can always put arm rests on the bike to help restrain them (I just happen to have a set of MK II arm rests for sale)
  20. Buddy of mine has a license plate "nufz" Just wouldn't make sense in the USA!
  21. Naw....we spend most of our time beating 2nd gens!
  22. I got the Sentra.....love it...except it is lousy in snow.
  23. You know you can delete a post and save the embarrassment! I think. But I'm not really too sure.
  24. If you believe that the dead can see what's going on then a post humous award is a fine idea. But I don't....so my thinking is that I'd rather be appreciated for some good deed while I'm still here.
  25. OK....total highjack here...... And I know I'm going catch it for this one! Not to mention irritate everyone in a 1/2 mile radius....give bikes a bad rep.....and give fellow bikers headaches after riding behind them for more than 10 min. Loud pipes are just to inflate the ego of those who are suffering from "bad boy wanna be" I would rather just have loud horns when needed But then....that's just my opinion. OK....whose got the popcorn?
