  1. Yeah....Harley's, Yamaha's, whatever. Anything that is an electro/mechanical device is going to break down...and if it's mobile it's going to lose a part or 2 over time. The fact that our bikes are getting on to 30 years old is a testament to how well they are built. I wasn't trying to be nasty...just having fun. But Harley's just make it so easy!
  2. Then I wake up and realize.....yes...it's just a dream....there IS still a cassette! But one modern feature the 3rd gen does have is a.........
  3. Yesterday I pulled up beside a group of Harley's at a stop light. One guy was yelling and gesturing to the bike in front of him. (beside me) The guy beside me bent over and picked up a chrome plug that fell off the end of his handle bar. And here I thought you guys were just joking about Harley's losing parts.
  4. My 84 on the way back from Don's MD 2011 (now sold) and my daughter's dog.
  5. Pawn Stars did a segment on a '40 something Indian. Put it back to a military bike, complete with rifle and grenade holders. I liked it better before the restoration! Ok....highjack over
  6. A subscription to a magazine? "Here I am....come and get me!" DUH! That's as bad as the bank robber who wrote the stick up note on the back of one of his personalized deposit slips
  7. Forget my comments! Here's what the manual says for manual adjustment
  8. Hmmm...."as long as it is connected to the bike" so if it breaks loose and causes major damage (cars swerving and crashing) you are no longer covered? Unlikely to be true....but I would check to be sure.
  9. For sure it would affect the value...but hard to quantify. I've never heard of a set value of $X per 10,000 miles Might be a case of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
  10. Boy! You folks really missed your chance. If you were quick you could have suggested that the 1st Gen whine is "I wanna be a 2nd gen!" But....TOO LATE!
  11. We've all seen the "Walmart people"...well now they have a theme song! Turn up the volume and sing along! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RzcvFLPg1A?version=3%22%3E%3Cparam
  12. There's a coupon for one in Sept '12 Cycle World mag so you can get one at that price anytime until Dec. 7th There is also a 1/2 price ($300) coupon for the 1000lb lift "table" also. good until Dec. 7th and a wheel chock for $45.99
  13. I'm sure that she got the message. Mind you .....I think you could have got it across without the personal insults. But...that's just me....sometimes I'm just too nice!
  14. Nothing a little sea foam and plastex wouldn't take care of. Wish I was closer!
  15. keep the oil at about 1/2 way up the sight glass....or slightly less any more than that and you will have oil in the airbox.
  16. Probably a stupid question but it's not in gear or the sidestand down is it?
  17. looks like our typical winter build up!
  18. So I got my drift camera...and in the next week or so I plan on recording bits and pieces of some of the great rides we have around here. To post video, is it the same as posting a picture....just "manage attachements" and select the file I want to post? I can see the file sizes and types. 1.91 mb doesn't sound like much for a video file. How does one go about posting to a web site like youtube? any other recommended sites where I could post video and have folks go there to view it?
  19. and tires.
  20. You must be using Chrome...mine shows in IE but just shows the html in chrome.
  21. I'm not so sure I would want to belong to a group that would let someone like me as a member:whistling: But....I am glad I do.
  22. This is the 2 1/2 inch reflector that runs from side to side across the back of the Trunk Box. I CAREFULLY tried to lift the reflector off of the black plastic molding that it fits into. BUT....I guess I wasn't careful enough. I cracked it in one spot and broke a corner off it as well. I glued it back together but it still looks like....well.....like it has been broken and glued back together!!!!!! Does anyone have the reflector that would fit an 88 trunk box...or even a later one that has the lights instead of just the reflector? PLEASE? I've invested over $100 in LED's for the trunk (and other spots)...and I don't want it to end up looking like crap.
  23. I'll bring the popcorn!
